later, washington state

by the time you read this, the house will be for sale and leff, the cats and i will be on the road to chicago. 

if you've been waiting to read something scathing about how much i despised living in washington fucking state, eh, go read old posts. i've certainly written enough about how horrible of a place it is to live. 

in other words,  i am DONE with the tacky and everything related to it. (*fingers fucking crossed*) 

so goodbye to all of that and hello to chicago and a time zone that makes sense. can't wait to start my life over after that lost decade.

if you want to follow the move, um, follow me on instagram

yes! i have finally succumbed. real time-ish move to chicago will be posted at rakkaburger ig.

here's a picture of a flower for your trouble.

catching my breath before drilling down again

since i got slightly ahead of schedule this morning (YAY) i'm taking a short break to catch my breath and upload some photos from the past few days. 

here is fujiko enjoying the morning breeze.

i have been planting "witch" plants. here is something with "spider" in its name.

feel the burn!

we have entered the "too tired to cook, order pizza" phase of packing/cleaning. leff ordered us a jet special (bell peppers and beef (ours had beef and not mushrooms. XD))

and my travel thermos arrived!

k, time to get back to the grind! see you soon-ish.

this week, guys. this week.

i honestly can't believe it's only been a week since we got our new apartment lined up. i really can't tell you what i've been up to since then as it's been A WEEK where that week was nothing but working on the house and final prep for a cross country move and wanting to pull my hair out and slap people. 

but....

we got new phones. i remember that. it's a cross country move "tradition" if having something happen twice can be a tradition. i mean, we got these puppies in 2005 for the memphis to seattle move.

and just like before the memphis to tacky move, leff and i got matching phones. at least this time we can have covers to help us differentiate. 

i sense a theme here.....

don't expect me around much for a bit. it's our last full week (FINGERS FUCKING CROSSED) in this fuckforsaken piece of shit state. i'm planning on instagramming the move (as is my wont) so be on the lookout for a link to my account, er, once i get it set up.

odds, ends and early bday presents

the other morning, one of our succulents bloomed.

here's the last ballot that i will EVER fill out in washington fucking state.

and, since we're prob gonna be stuck in moving hell on my bday, i've been celebrating early this year. leff got me some panda pocky! SO CUTE!!

fujipon arrived early in the week. i honestly cannot remember on what day.

and padre and my step mom sent presents as well! a funko pop godzilla to go with the tokyo tower model i got in japan last year!!!

and more sheet masks!!

i am so addicted to sheet masks.

we applied for an apartment today. please keep your fingers crossed for us!

things keep plodding along and i keep talking about food because everything else is frustrating and/or boring

i am totally down with the ud crap in a can at the moment.

here are some good eats though. SO MUCH HARIBO THANK YOU LEFF

the cafe de olla lid cover was nice.
