At least it was nice and cold today. Feels like a snap of winter en route, was lovely and kept me upright or I’m sure I would’ve napped before dinner.

I love that the doc prescribed me not one, but two fucking things that make me drowsy as shit. I feel like there’s no winning here. I already passed out from just pain alone earlier, now when I’m not in pain I’m still tired 🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿

I swear I’ll be punching in another crazy 5k minute week on Spotify this week. I’ve always got music going in the background. Thank good for some good tunes to keep my mind preoccupied.

At least the doc said I could still do walks/hikes, I just can’t lift anything heavy. Really makes me miss my normal functions when I don’t have em. I don’t like having to slow down, but I’m going to have to. Guess there’ll be lots of drawing/writing in the nearby future for me.🌚🌚🌚

Well I guess having an impromptu vacation is nice. What isn’t nice is the fact that I’ve gotta be off due to a repetitive injury from work. Not how I wanted to spend thanksgiving but here we are.

Thinking of fragrances, I saw the spoilers for Lush’s drop that’s coming out later on in the month. I think this is going to be a pass for me. Most of it is florals or the one body spray I already have as a perfume. It’s not the first launch I’ve sat out on and I’m sure it won’t be the last.

Maybe this is partly why I love indie fragrances or Lush. They smell closer to what they are made of instead of some conglomeration of fuckery in a bottle.

I don’t understand how people rave over these types of scents. They don’t half resemble what they claim to smell like. Like if you tells me something smells like jasmine, then I expect jasmine, not some goddamn abomination of hairspray and something remotely floral in the background.

I love getting samples with my orders when it comes to shite from Sephora but goddam the designer perfumes are just straight up fucking awful. Like I get they’re supposed to be appealing to wide tastes but all I can smell is the synthetics. Terrible.

Having to wait to get my ID renewed is the most wild thing. Place is packed. Last time I was down was during the midst of Covid, you couldn’t even get into the building without an appointment. Now it seems like a free for all. I hate how loud this place is. I miss the quiet.

It’s been great getting some drawing done with the time I’ve taken back for myself. Just need to get our lovely antag, Schoukannaderou, shaded. I’m almost tempted to do the October art challenge this year but next month is going to be very busy as is.

Happy to say it’s been a good week so far. Got this lovely from the local shop as a freebie. I love Alina, she’s such a unique scent, spicy, soapy, yet with a tinge of sweetness.

Took me longer than anticipated to read spite the fact it’s not a long novel. Hopefully the next one on my backlog isn’t going to take as long. I had to restart Giovanni’s Room twice. I picked it up almost 2 years ago. So we’ll see how this goes.

POCKET RAPTOR VIVIAN @dinosaurchurch.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
I may not say it much but I do enjoy a good read that delves into the human spirit and the flaws we hold. Makes for an interesting plot line. Giovanni’s Room is also one of many novels that starts off with the end and then proceeds to take you back to the beginning to see the journey.

First day of no doomscrolling. Managed to chomp through the remaining 40 pages of Giovanni’s Room. Melancholic, but I enjoyed the read. James Baldwin is very good at describing David’s inner turmoil of his actions throughout the novel. I can see why this is considered a “classic”.

Growing up in the 90s we only had our thoughts to keep us entertained. I kind of miss that type of boredom tbh. It’s making me think that perhaps this is for the best. Social media is a curse and a blessing. Sometimes more of a burden than anything though.

Might just delete FB or IG off my phone. I spend too much time scrolling along with Reddit. Maybe leave up some of my messaging apps but I feel like I need another purge of shite that’s just taking up space in my storage and frankly my time.

Even though I was tired as shit, it was good to just seize the day and get some alone time to clear my headspace. Sometimes I think about how much I savour that type of tranquility. How it just cleanses the soul. Good times indeed ✨✨✨

2024 was amazing too save for the stress of moving towns. One of my favourite memories from that year was that ridiculous 15km bike ride I did after my Labour Day 4am shifts. Had Pocket Sun’s “Mirror in Blue Light” on loop. Riding into the sunset with that in the background was magical.

2026 is turning out to be a decent year so far. It’s almost going too fast for my liking. I think I’ll miss this year once she’s gone. It was nice to have a pleasant summer too, last year I just felt like I was burnt out. Like I could’ve just laid down and cried all day.

Yesterday I got to catch the sunset at Topsail Beach with one of my closest friends. I feel like I’ve been pretty productive on my days off, really soaking up the last bit of summer. Happy to say it’s been a good time.

Today was another successful day of picking some blueberries and stretching the legs. I love hiking Sugarloaf Path, it’s a favourite of mine. There’s always something new to see and it’s right next to town.

I drink matcha daily, I’ve come to find what flavour profiles I enjoy the most. I got back into it last November and funny enough Aikenka was the spot I ordered from. Absolutely delicious. There’s no colour correcting on either of these pictures btw. It’s really that green!

It’s really cool seeing a personalized thank you note in one of my orders from Aikenka Matcha. Jamie has some fantastic quality stuff for a half decent price. I’m a-okay with supporting fellow Canadians. I’d support small businesses over large corporations any day of the week.

I don’t know which album is my favourite tbh. They all bring something different to the table, but that’s the fun about artists evolving their sound over time. You’re going to lose some folks with whatever direction you take and gain new ones.

I didn’t realize how divided the fan base was over Sunshine but apparently a lot of folks outright hated it and said it was bland or lacking creativity. I wouldn’t say that at all, it’s more downtempo sure, but it’s very still much Jungle. Their first album was the same way and I still love it.

POCKET RAPTOR VIVIAN @dinosaurchurch.bsky.social · 29/08/2026
Happy to say Sunshine by Jungle arrived yesterday. Another beauty to the collection. I’ve been listening to this album non stop. It’s fantastic, my only gripe is I wish it was longer.

Yeah so companies NEED to give more pushback on entry & midlevel jobs being replaced by AI. In a few years the whole hierarchy will come crumbling down. As seniors retire or move on to different jobs all that will be left is AI and the entire company knowledge lost to whoever is hired after.

Got out for a solo hike of part of Deadman’s Bay Path that goes from Cape Spear to Fort Amherst. Roughly about 9km, nothing too wild. Got to get some wild blue berries along with a lovely view of the sunset.

Ya that was funny enough what my friend mentioned too who helped retype me. Honestly I think it suits, I have some perfectionism but losing complete control is definitely something that is a pet peeve of mine. He mentioned the type of 8 I am is more focused on the self too. That’s very true for me.

Like talking about vices and what’s the pitfalls of folks with my type is kind of wild. Definitely made me do a double take hearing from someone else that I’m not the only head ass mf with these types of struggles. Makes me feel less alone. Kinda nice.

It’s interesting seeing the different schools of thought with regards to enneagram as a system though. Had one of the online peeps do a deep dive and explain it a little better to me. I think 8 suits tbh, particularly SP8 from Naranjo’s system.

POCKET RAPTOR VIVIAN @dinosaurchurch.bsky.social · 16/08/2026
I’ve never been much into enneagram, I typically take it with a grain of salt, but apparently online tests have mistyped tf outta me. Thought I was an enneagram 1. Nah fam, apparently I’m an 8. I’ve gotten that result before but didn’t put much stock into it tbh.
