I feel like the universe is conspiring against me this morning. Within 10 minutes of arriving at work, so much had already gone wrong that I wanted to leave and go back home. Sleep, restart, i want a do over.
It hasn't really gotten much better. I would still like to go home as soon as possible.

😭 so tired. My weekend got broken up, and so is the upcoming one, and I am feeling that bone-deep exhaustion that can only really come from fatigue

DumbBitch⁷ @davebarista.bsky.social · 14h

All I wanna do is go ounch some bad guys and flirt with Taash 😭 instead, I need to be in bed in about 2 hours because Inopen tomorrow, and I have a feeling roomie is going to be playing dark souls for most of the rest of the night

Trying to distract myself from my inability to play my game rn (roommate is for once using his xbox and I would never kick him off lol). I am not succeeding. Tried to distract myself with a survival game, but it's really difficult and I am losing steam fast without any actual desire to play

Wanted to go to the No Kings protest today but instead I'm scheduled at work. So I'm caffeinating the protestors instead 🕺

Told someone I'm older than I look and they guessed 23. ??? That's guessing OLDER?! How old do strangers think I am?? I have to wonder if the way I dress has something to do with it because I truly don't see it. I feel like I look my age idk. Maybe I just have a lot of young looking friends.

DumbBitch⁷ @davebarista.bsky.social · 21h

I'm not even old. I will be 27 next week. And yet people are routinely shocked to learn my age.

If this holds, I am going to be looking good in a couple decades! Big if...

The surprise at my age continues to surprise me lmao. Mentioned looking at bartending as a future option if I move away from being a barista, and the person I was talking to pulled a

Okay, the morning has been good so far. My brain is beginning to slow, but thankfully I have a 10 minute break to chug some caffeine, take a bathroom break, and get my head back on straight (lol)
Hopefully that's enough to hold me till my 30 when I can run home and adjust my back

4am coffee, just trying to wake tf up for my shift and cease shivering (mornings cold, ew, ouch)

DumbBitch⁷ @davebarista.bsky.social · 1d

Ughhh, I work another long shift today. Wish me luck cause oh boy am I struggling with my health rn, and a long shift just doesn't sound pleasant atm

I spent so much time on them in the character creator and I truly don't know if I could ever recreate their face. Truly I have reached peak character design with them, which is saying a lot after Penny (my lord of fortune rogue from my first playthrough). They were also pretty perfect.

Isana is average height for a dwarf, but about as big and buff as I could make them otherwise so they can wield a giant greathammer. I've been experimenting this playthrough with how much stagger I can stack on one character and it's delightful smashing my way through hordes of enemies!

I have spent hours playing Veilguard today, as I've been having issues with my back and knees that make moving around more than necessary very difficult and painful.

Taash romance is progressing nicely. Happy I decided to go with the hotheaded grey warden warrior that I did. These 2 just make sense

I have commandeered (with permission) a save file on my roommate's xbox profile just so I can romance Davrin on an upcoming run without having to delete previous characters that I've completed the game with.

When you don't have someone in your ear whining about the game, it's actually very fun!

Warden playthrough is my favorite so far.

Sent Mayor Julius to join the Wardens, and he saved an entire little squad of wardens that I didn't even know could be saved. That quest in any other playthrough ends with all but one of those wardens dead.

Oh, I am so not able to be normal about how gay I am for Taash, so those rants may need to stay private.

DumbBitch⁷ @davebarista.bsky.social · 3d

I cannot function without my breaks. I am legally entitled to them and I will take them, even if it means taking them at weird hours when most people would say it's not worth it.
Worth it to me and my fucked up back. And my cat who needs to be fed.

DumbBitch⁷ @davebarista.bsky.social · 3d

My shift ends in less than an hour, but I never got to take my 30 so I'm taking that now. If I have only 20 minutes to finish my end of shift checklist, that's not on me! It's on the schedule for not having enough people to allow me to go on my 30.

Ughhhhhh i want to go home but it's only 7am. I've got 5 hours left of this shift. My back hurts so badly 😭😭 the muscles are so tight it feels like they're literally pushing my spine into an even more crooked formation than usual. The longer I stand the worse it gets. Idk how I'm going to do this

You're gonna love this part about about having a chronic illness: people expect you to act like you don't to have one

Ahhhh, early mornings. How I both loathe and love them. Do I like being up this early? Not really, at all. I love my sleep. Do I like opening and then being home by noon? Absolutely. It's a trade-off.

DumbBitch⁷ @davebarista.bsky.social · 4d

Very cute date. Here for this. Emmrich is turning out to be quite the romantic
