Canadian Health Care - "You Get What You Pay For"
We have like a two year waiting list for family doctors over here, mine just retired, but luckily had a new doctor take her patient list.
especially annoying because its not even covered under health care anyway, its still gonna cost us like 350 dollars makes having to go to a super special doctor for this all the more annoying

10 provinces and 3 territories and yet only 5 doctors in the whole country (3 of which are in the SAME CITY??) authorized to give medical exams for immigration <3 yay <3

Another complication if we did a big wedding is that nearly every guest would be from my side of the family; David basically doesn't have an extended family. Keeping it small helps sidestep this issue.
Speaking of wedding attire, it's dumb, but I'd like to find a suit that's looks like the rune factory wedding outfit, but not so much that it looks like cosplay. Which is to say, finding a white suit with gold trim and such. But that's a future me problem.
its YOUR wedding, the only one who has to care about whether its dumb or not is you and davy assuming you're paying for it all its a cute outfit and i've certainly seen men attend their own weddings in much less than acceptable attire lol. i think it'd be pretty easy to find a suit with gold touches like that, wedding attire has gotten a lot more lax in recent decades so there's a lot more options for fanciful stuff than there was previously

I forget how, but last summer we actually had a long conversation for how we'd go about marrying. and mostly decided on a small civil ceremony at SF City Hall because of how expensive weddings can be. We didn't have a lot of money last summer (my old job went to complete shit), so even that wasn't possible at the time, but I feel we'd still move forward with our plan of doing a civil ceremony at SF City Hall (with just our parents as guests) and then having a nice meal in the city (with parents, siblings, and their SOs and kids).
Our money situation is much much better, but far from perfect, and I can't imagine spending over 1k (let alone over 10k) for a wedding. We can always do a vow ceremony in the far future if we feel like we're missing out. Even for our wedding bands, I'd probably look at simple white gold/platinum/titanium rings on Etsy.
when we were originally planning to hold a wedding in colorado, all my plans were for like a 25 person maximum with us doing most of the work; we hadn't planned on a budget but i was even looking up recipes to bake my own wedding cake and looking up civil buildings to hold a reception in. i think i'd still like to do that in the future since at our ACTUAL wedding, the only 3 people there were are our officiant (you can't get married in a courthouse in canada, did you know that? she cost us like 200 dollars just to show up for like 15 minutes) and ty's two siblings lmao. we had a picnic where we made some sandwiches and sat in the park; it was nice but not exactly ideal i bought my dress off of ASOS and the most money we spent was on food lol.
both my ring and ty's came from etsy; ty's was around 125 dollars i think and mine was like 150 i think? for a ring that's insanely good quality and beautiful, it was a great investment for sure, especially since we never planned on getting bands
my sister in law has a huge honker of a diamond for her ring and not only did it probably cost my brother a fortune, but its ugly as hell imo i definitely support the idea of a small wedding...the idea of professing my undying love in front of 100+ people while spending a small fortune for it makes me wanna die and the upcharges alone the second you mention 'wedding' to a vendor are insane. way more fun to do it your way and have some money to spare afterwards

So, fellas. Uhhh. I might have ordered an engagement ring for Davy.
It's silly, but I was trying to find something that looked not unlike Sigurd's emblem ring in Engage ( pic for reference). I found this, a bit expensive but not unreasonably so, with the biggest caveats being: aquamarine which as far as I can tell is the lower bound of "acceptable for an lifelong ring but expect to one day replace it" gem.
Anyway, this is a very weird feeling and I'm honestly a bit anxious for the ring to arrive. Especially since this is the most money I've spent on something that wasn't, like, rent or some other necessity.
wahhhhh how exciting!!!! congrats!! when ty and i got married we didn't do a proposal and nothing was secret ("i think we should just get married?") so in comparison it was a much easier process
i was EXTREMELY poor when i moved here, so the ring i got ty is mostly brass which as you can imagine they do not wear much as it turns their finger green. my ring is rose gold with an opal as the main stone i plan on upgrading ty's ring to gold for our 5th wedding anniversary
in terms of fanciness, i don't think that kind of thing is actually necessary to think about...not a single person i know has ever commented on my ring being not a band, not my birthstone, ty not wearing theirs at all, or being 'less than acceptable' in any way. usually married people are pretty clear they're married anyway lol.
good luck with your proposal!! also i like the ring you chose!

i actually went to school with a girl who was born on feb 29th, so by the time we were in high school we'd make jokes that she was only 4 years old
she was also insanely pretty, not relevant i just remembered that
gen 3 is one of my faves so i put a loooooot of time into AS.....i didn't play ultra sun so i do kinda wanna play it but i always have so many other games to play =_=

i'd hardly consider myself a pokemon fan anymore (i haven't played a game since SuMo jesus that was a while ago) but i do have to say i'm pretty intrigued by another Legends game, even tho i thoroughly hated Lumiose City the first time i played X if the original ever goes on sale (haha) i am considering playing it just bc it looks fun but i have a hard time wanting to give TPC my money when i think they keep putting out shit games and winning for it
since the release date isn't until next year and no gameplay was shown, i have tentative hopes that it won't be bad........

i didn't mention it before but another one of my 2024 resolutions is to watch more movies...january was a bit of a bust bc i was so busy, but while in colorado me and my friends managed to watch like 5 in a week lol
technically i'd already seen The Thing and They Live but it was their first time seeing them so it was really fun we also watched The Truman Show (my first time seeing it) and Knives out (also my first time) and both were 10/10 movies
to keep up my momentum i watched Glass Onion last night and while i don't think it i liked it more than Knives Out, it was definitely a sequel that was on par with the first! i hope they make a billion trillion of these movies, i could watch benoit blanc do anything for 2 hours and be satisfied =w= i wonder what i should watch next?

happy febbbbbbb
persona 3 was my least favorite of the three i've played, but i saw a screenshot from reload earlier and now lowkey i'm kinda interested but i still have to beat the another code sequel and i already bought princess peach showtime for next month too.................
even though we're planning on moving, we're thinking about getting a ps5 maybe too....so many games................

comically i did that a couple years ago. and most social media nowadays no longer lets you scroll without an account
reddit does though, and i always find myself in a loop there when i'm just trying to look up information.
and then stuff like wikipedia i blocked too
those are the most dangerous for me in post social media life, aside from discord servers, and i took a break from a couple of those too. even though i'm only in a couple, it's so easy to be caught up in my phone for hours talking to random people. which... is better than a social media algorithm but has the same bad impact rn like. i had put wikipedia on the block list lol
i have fully accepted at this point that ADHD does not care about half-measures and self control is a limited resource
btw, you're getting canadian citizenship but also moving back to the US? how come?reddit is actually the first ""social media"" i deleted for real bc it was actually making me feel bad. something about it feels much worse to me than other ones....maybe bc its so much easier to curate what i see on something like twitter and IG. good luck keeping up with it!
i'm getting my canadian citizenship bc there is no downside to having it! on the flip side, if i only keep my permanent residency, i will have to continue to renew it over and over again until the end of time. additionally, if i have my citizenship, i can come back whenever i want no questions asked ty's family all live here, and i have friends here as well now - even though we're planning on moving back to the states, we'll certainly want to visit in the future and it'd be nice to not have to worry about any further paperwork. as for why we're moving back, ty wanted to and i didn't really care either way we're so close to being done with the visa process as well...god willing we're outta here by springtime lol

ty deleted all of their social media mostly and even de-googled their phone recently and they seem to be enjoying life a lot more lol

we're back from our tiny trip to the next city over and now i must return to reality and look for a job
my last job was minimally involved with making actual food but i did end up liking that part of it a lot more than i thought i would...considering looking for more food service type gigs to see if i'd enjoy it as the full job i wanna try being a barista...

personally i'd be super disappointed if i actually believed they weren't going to make DLC for TOTK, but nintendo has a history of straight up lying like, all the time, so i really take it with a grain of salt
the king and queen had no descendants, we have no idea who the person close to the royal family was that made all those slabs, the story was lackluster, and despite adding in numerous old sages we learn literally nothing of them despite them caring enough to actually fully model most of their heads and faces. the depths are empty and covered in ruins yet there's no story to any of it.
the game isn't lacking in fun, sure, but i refuse to believe they ACTUALLY added all that they wanted to to this game. but, if they're actually telling the truth for once and don't plan on making any DLC, i will actually be firmly disappointed. the game could use some more oomph, even if they didn't want to add anything new to the gameplay like they did for BOTW's DLC.
