@Wildfire: That's totally fair. And it's good that you respect your body's boundaries too. I know there have been a few times Where i didn't and i regretted it after. Like the last time i went to disney, i ate and wanted to go on mission space on the orange mission, but decided not to right away, and instead went on test track, and THEN mission space, but really i should have just walked to soarin' or living with the land and taken it easy for a bit.

When we go in about 2 weeks (i'm getting so excited lol) i know we'll be taking it easy because my husband doesn't like heights (but he'll ride mission space lol) so we won't be going on soarin' or test track ( i mean, i will go on test track lol) and we'll be taking our time in each pavilion just enjoying ourselves together.
@Wildfire: i get it. I have a policy of everything once as an adult, maybe twice if there's a lesson to be learned (like deep sea fishing. The one time i went i didn't think i'd get sea sick, but boy howdy did i. Next time, i'll take dramamine and not eat before going, and see if i enjoy myself more). But i totally understand knowing and respecting your limits. Something i'm about to learn on my anniversary since we're drinking around the world and i've never drank at epcot before, so we'll see how rides plus drinks goes.

@totalanimefan:I'm slowly starting to fewll better, honestly, but it was a rough week for sure. Thank you for your concern <3
I've applied, and i expect them to say no, but it's fine. i'll know sometime next week, i'm sure.
Yeah, i also expect it to be busy, but i also think they're going to have a virtual queue for it for a long time too. I mean cosmic rewind has been open for more than 6 months and is still virtual queue and the ratatouille ride was only virtual queue for like 3 months, and that ride is super popular too with wait times of up to i've seen 180 minutes.
Yeah, the extra is really nice because now we don't have to worry too much about our modified anniversary plans, and we'll have a little extra while being responsible adults who pay their bills on time without mom's help lol.
@Wildfire: i get that. I was talking so someone and they said they have motion sickness issues and still liked it because it wasn't jerky and too disorienting and it's not so dark inside that it's impossible to see where you're going. To me it felt kind of like what Ice skaters look like. I don't know if that makes sense, but idk how to explain it.

@Totalanimefan: yeah being present helps and is also really difficult for me too. I'm literally always thinking ahead, and that gets overwhelming, especially when my future plans include money i don't have. On the plus side, (speaking of money) i got paid about 150 more than i expected for my last check, which is really nice.
Tron's opening date was announced. it's 4/4/23 They were working on it this time last year when i went with my family.
Bagels with a LOT of cream cheese are one of my favorite things to eat. If it was nutritionally sound to eat just those all the time, I probably would.
@Wildfire: It was such a good ride. the ride car swivels as your moving so it's really neat. I'm honestly looking forward to the new TRON ride that's opening in April, and i'm hoping that i'll be able to ride it before it opens during the passholder preview window. I'm going to do my best though.

@Totalanimefan: Thanks. Right now i'm trying to take it day by day and that typically tends to help me not get overwhelmed. Today was a good day. I got some cookies and bagels and cream cheese spread (that's kinda just super creamy, not really cream cheese flavored though.) so i have some snacks. And i got to play a few games of fall guys with my gf, which was really fun.
@Totalanimefan: honestly, mentally no, but that's okay and pretty normal, though lately it's been a bit worse than normal, but i'm getting through it okay. My husband has been helping.
I am watching the clone wars series right now and it's pretty good. i'll eventually get through it all lol
@Totalanimefan: i don't think i'd mind it, but i definitely need to get my health in order first
yeah, i'm enjoying it so far. There's a lot i haven't seen, including apparently most of the movies, so it's been interesting.

@Wildfire: you're not wrong. i just hope it stays nice for a bit longer.
well we're going on the 2nd for our anniversary, but if i go before that then it will just be to go. And for the time being that means starting in epcot with trying to get a boarding pass for the guardians of the galaxy ride. it's so much fun.
@Wildfire: not really. just been having the windows open and hoping the cool front stays until the end of the month. I was going to go to disney, but i don't think that's in my cards until at least friday, and then since i have blackout dates with my AP i have to wait until next week. I just need the gas money first lol
@Wildfire: i am staying cozy. i'm really liking this cold front this week. it's quite nice. i like being able to have my fuzzy blankets on and not being too hot.
@Totalanimefan: yeah definitely. Unfortunately call center jobs are a dime a dozen, and super easy to get hired into. we'll have to see what happens though.

Completely unrelated, i started watching all of starwars in timeline order. made me realize that i didn't remember watching episode 2, and i barely remember episode 1. I'm now watching the clone wars animated series and i like it so far. haven't seen any of it before, so it's entertaining right now, but i'm excited to move onto the next section lol
@Totalanimefan: yeah, it's okay, i'll have another job soon, i'm sure. I think i might look into data entry work from home positions where i can make my own schedule that as long as i have the correct amount of hours in a week that they don't care when i do them. That's ideal, honestly. I'm glad i was able to go to disney already, but it definitely hampers out aniversary plans. I do think i figured out a way to do an abridged verson of the plans though and still pay my bills with the income from my original job.
@Totalanimefan: yeah that's very true. I needed new shoes for a while though, so i'm sure that's also a big part of why my feet hurt so much. My mom bought me two new pairs, and they should arrive soon. oh wow, that sounds like a lot. Good you're enjoying it though. I have to find a new job, i got fired yesterday because i had missed too much time due to mental health days and other various non-covid illnesses. I was pretty upset over it yesterday, but i'm doing okay now. However, in order to be able to live without a roommate once my mother in law moves out, i need to have a second job. Also, our level of comfort is being impacted, and so is our anniversary plans. Which sucks, but it is what it is. My mom's going to help us out too until i can straighten out my paychecks, which really, i think i just need a month to do, even if i don't find another job, at least until my mother in law moves out.
@Totalanimefan:Ironically i felt like i was taking it easy and didn;t do that much, but my feet say otherwise lol I don't usually mind parking at the parks because i can usually find my car pretty easily. Last year when we went with my mom and sibling, the only time we lost the car is when my mom didn't believe me when i said what row we were in and she thought we were further out when we were in like row 3 or 4 and like 10 cars down. she learned to listen to me from then on lol It also helps that the disney experience app has a place to track where you parked, or at least what row you park in. Unfortunately, that only works if you remember to activate it or enter it in manually. I remembered, after i walked a little bit away from the row i parked in, hence why i questioned where i was parked and if that was accurate lol (It was)

Also, because i was so tired last night, it's good to hear your job is going well!
@Totalanimefan: I was really sore for like 3 days after. I went again today, btw, to epcot and hollywood studios (still didn't go watch harmonious lol)my fitbit currently says 25.6k steps and it's pretty accurate. I'm less sore today, but my feet really hurt because my shoes were rubbing against the bottoms of my feet as i walked. (they're sandals, very comfy and usually great for walking, but i think they need replaced.) I've decided to not go for the next 2 weeks so when tyi and i go it will be more exciting. Also, i rode the new guardians of the galaxy ride, and oh. My. Goodness it was so much fun. I immediately wanted to ride again but because of it being virtual queue only right now i could not. Because apparently they limit how many times you can go in a day, but oh man was it fun. Also, at the end of the day i couldn't find my car for like 30 minutes because i didn't think i had parked as far down as i had so i wandered between the rows at where i thought i was parked. then i got tired of that and just walked down the row i parked at (i marked it down) until i either got to my car or got to the end. Anyways, i'm going to remove my makeup and go pass tf out.
@Totalanimefan: seems i disappeared for about a week. How is the new job treating you? Do you like it so far? Also, last week when i went to disney i walked 30,000 steps. I started in animal kingdom, park hopped to magic kingdom by way of Hollywood studio's parking lot and epcot, rode splash mountain for the first time, had every intention of getting back to hollywood studios in time for fantasmic, but because of the 2.5 hour wait for splash mountain, i wasn't able to and only just barely got to epcot at 8:45. So i picked up dinner and rode the skyliner back to hollywood studios to get to my car, then went home. I'm going tomorrow again, but this time i'm starting at epcot and going to definitely get to HS in time for fantasmic, cause i haven't seen it yet
