life situation roundup

I got a really fancy journal from my sister as a christmas present (it has green leather covers!! The papers are all in a ring binder and can be replaced! There's enough space on the inside to hold a fountain pen securely) and I've been using it to teach myself toki pona on the way home from work since, y'know. That's a half an hour each day I am doing absolutely nothing with since my scoot is still broken.

But hey, at least scoot is now at a shop that has the correct tester, even if I ended up paying for it. I had to go through the Italian customer service to get them to fork it over but at least I'm now in a situation where I can pay myself into having Essie available again. Honestly, going through this, I still don't want a car, and in fact every time I've been like "is this costing too much? Should I cut my losses and sell the bike?" every time I've come back with "remember how we were like 14 when we first discovered three-wheeled motorcycles and have been like 'YES' ever since?". So, no, I just want my scoot back, I want to go vroom vroom, I miss being able to drive my own arse to work.

mi ken toki e toki pona lili. mi ken ala toki e ijo mute. mi ken toki e pali mi e musi mi. lon tenpo la mi ken sitelen e sitelen pona mute. toki pona li pona :)

Worldbuilding Exchange ends after this year and it's making me too ike to work on my stuff :((

At least I have tomorrow off b/c my coworker I commute with who I share a shift with is sick and I took the opportunity to be like "fuck this actually". I need to renegotiate and start working shorter weeks, for sure.
