Chikoritas Everywhere

First, let me take a mf'ing moment to complain about my wifi. It hasn't been working properly for weeks. I'm pretty sure it's out more than it is on. And it's just the wifi, I know I have internet since my Xbox One works flawlessly with my ethernet cable. You know what I'm using right now? I'm using the mobile hotspot thing on my PHONE because I wanted to type. It's faster than my clumsy fingers fumbling with a text keyboard. Also I'm super tired. But you should assume that's a given.

I'm covering overnight for tonight and Tuesday night so I have to flip my schedule once again. The past week I've been waking up at 7 am!! Now I need to stay up until 7 am. Last night and right now I'm trying to stay up late so I can feel adequately awake for overnight. I think I'm feeling a second wind incoming so maybe staying up until 7. It's nearly 5 right now.

Anyway! I didn't come here to talk about my sleep schedule, or lack thereof. I had a real eventful weekend despite having to work. Pokémon Go Community Day was this past Saturday. Luke picked me up at 9 in the morning so we can go to brunch before hand, both of us thinking the event started at 11.

Minor setback, it actually started at 1. And plus, it was hardly a setback. We still played around the area until it started. We ate at the Guenther House, which seemed packed. Well priced for a place that was supposed to  be fancy. I chose the chicken enchiladas and they tasted wonderful.
We roamed around the area (Southtown? Arsenal?), which was about a 20 minute walk from the main downtown area, the Alamo and such. We followed the San Antonio river north, making our way to a Starbucks to charge our phones. Pokémon Go sure does drink up the phone juice. It was 1:30 pm by the time we had settled and made the mistake of purchasing venti drinks. I had the mocha frappe and drank all of it. We sat there and caught a dozen Chikoritas. Thinking about it, I'm surprised we were the only ones in that Starbucks taking advantage of that location for Community Day. Well, we had originally planned to be walking around but we needed to charge our phones. And Luke's charger barely worked, so I let him borrow mine for a bit.
We left and I made it home in time to shower for work. That evening was super slow, especially for a Saturday. I really didn't mind until 930 rolled around, and everyone freakin' decides that they want to eat at my workplace. I'm annoyed because it's only half an hour away before I get to go home, but no, J.K.

Sunday night was busier, but not that busy. After work, Monique drove us around to play Pokémon and we both finally got enough Magikarp candy for Gyarados!! I was incredibly happy. If you're familiar with the game, you know it takes 400 (a buttload) and that it's relatively difficult to come across Magikarp if you're not around water. Honestly, it seemed impossible at the time the game came out. Well, 2 years later and I have a Gyarados, baby. His name is Koiboi.
Okay, I'm tired and the last half of my post is extremely summarized. I haven't been to the gym in a couple days but the next time I'm going for sure is Tuesday morning after my graveyard shift. Ugh, wish me luck.

Tired(tm)

Okay, I'm going to write this before I procrastinate too long and it's time for bed. This is just a daily log or whatever.
I've had a busy past few days that have required me to wake up at 7 a.m., while also working in the evening. I cannot keep this up, honestly, so I it is crucial I work something out.
My friend can only really go to the gym in the morning so that's why I've been joining her but I'm going to have to do solo sessions. I get off of work at minimum, 11 p.m. Waking up at 7 is difficult but I've been taking sleep medicine to help me out.
I don't remember what I did Wednesday after the gym besides grabbing Tealicious with Lorraine. (It was delicious, by the way.) I think I took a nap, which I wasn't supposed to do, much like today. It means that I'll be taking my sleep medicine, but I try to avoid it the best I can so my body doesn't get used to it. It's been a tough but rewarding week.
Today, I went mask shopping with my friend Nic for his cousin's wedding in a month. It took all of 5 minutes which surprised me. I guess because I decided right then and there what I'm going to wear, I chose a mask to match it. Of course I had to pick the most expensive one there because even I can be Extra. It only cost 40 dollars but the simpler masks were in the 25 range. Afterwards, he treated me to Red Robin. He ate a whole slice of mud pie by himself and I was mildly impressed.
I tried to get both hin and Lorraine into Pokémon Go but they are definitely not interested. The only person I've managed to sucker in is Monique. I have had some influence on Luke but eh, his interest seemed more on a whim rather than my pestering.

Back on my Bee Ess

Hello everyone, and welcome to my umpteenth internet journal thing. This is mainly for my own personal amusement, just like all my internet journal things previously. I know it's like a trend (is it still a trend?) to have a cool blog that everyone reads but I just don't think many people are interested in a random person's diary.
I mean, I would be, but that's me.
I've been frustrated with myself for not keeping up with my physical diary, so I've finally decided to temporarily make the move to digital. So even this might not be consistent, but I need to work out the writing muscles. I've missed it.
I'll also be updating the design along the way, as the current layout it something I picked haphazardly so I have something to work with. Honestly, with a few tweaks, I like it as is, but I understand how most people would think it's ugly. Or maybe they wouldn't think of it at all much beyond, "huh, pink."

Moving on to The Current Time...

It is 5 in the danged morning and I was supposed to go the gym with my friend at 8. My schedule is shifted so I knew it was going to be difficult but c'mon!! It's my day off and I wanted to spend it doing FUN THINGS. Last week I was able to get in a 4 hour nap before working out and spending most of the day downtown but now I'll be running off of no sleep.
It sucks 'cause now I finally feel tired but it's too late for that. I could just skip the gym but if I do there's a good chance I won't go by myself later on. Maybe, if I can manage a nap after the gym and wake up at 2 or 3... I can still go to a park or something. Maybe.

Hello again. I wish I felt like writing more and I don't care enough to discipline myself to do it often. Anyway, let's jump in. On...
