I had just had possibly my worst airplane experience of my life thus far. Unfortunately, I was flying from Toronto to New York. Easy, right? You'd think just like an hour. But unfortunately, I've developed a severe fear of flying. Severe. It started a few years ago and then it got better for a bit and then it came back with a vengeance. And like it's worse than ever. And I'm I'm having a harder and harder time controlling myself. Like by that I mean I've been crying a lot on the plane uh in fear which is so embarrassing. Uh but I can't help myself. I thought this flight was going

to be easy. Short, whatever. Well, it was one of the most turbulent flights of my life. The turbulence was on another level to the point where I actually got airplane sickness for the first time. I've never gotten nauseous on a plane. Today, today I got nauseous on a plane. I did not throw up. I didn't have to get the bag out. Like, you know, it's all good. But it was not fun. I shed a lot of tears as well. My dad was there on the flight with me. I was holding his hand crying. He's like literally everything's fine. I was absolutely sobbing. I'm so happy to be landed and in bed. This is just delightful. I also think it didn't help my case that when I was in Toronto, I

was working on a project that was shooting at night. So that means like show up at like 10:11 p.m. and finish at like 8 9 10:00 a.m. And I did that for a few days and I feel completely delirious. Like I'm I don't even I don't know what's happening. I don't really know how to get my sleep schedule back on track, though, because yeah, for the last few nights, I've been basically nocturnal. It's like, what do I do now? I took a nap in the car on the way to the airport. I took a nap at the airport. I took a nap on the plane before it got turbulent. So, like, do I just stay up until it's time to go to bed? It's my dad.

I want to go shopping so bad, but I am obviously like trying to sort of cure a shopping addiction. So, like I shouldn't go shopping. I still might go shopping, but I'm going to try to like keep myself busy without going into stores that are tempting. You know what I mean? So, I'm just trying to like go into stores where I won't want to buy anything. What's going on? Nothing but smiles with this one. Wait, I actually love that. Wait, I want Oh my god. You like that one better? These are more true to life. Yeah. Wait, maybe I Now I actually do want ornaments. This is so cute. I want to like hang this in my car.

I mean, no, I'm not going to do it. I'm I'm actually not going to do it. It's just stupid. I can't I don't want to take that home. But it's so cute. My plan is failing. My plan is absolutely failing. I'm already finding things I want to buy. Like, look at this. Come on. Don't you want this? Of course you want that. So do I. I don't I've never even seen Star Wars. True story. Never seen it. Oh my. Are you actually kidding me? A Stanley Cup ornament. This is just I'm This is I have to leave. I actually have to leave cuz I'm going to start buying ornaments. This is like sick. See, this proves that I still have a shopping addiction.

You know, usually when I come to New York, what I do is I shop. And I'm realizing that on this trip because I haven't been to New York since I've started to sort of try to heal my shopping addiction. I don't know what to do with myself. If I don't shop around a little bit, I think I'm just going to lay in bed all day and that would be so sad. I can't do that. So, I think I have to shop a little bit, but I'm not. Maybe I just don't buy stuff, but I just look at stuff. What do you think of that? Oh, I think that's a great idea. Just look. That's what I would do. Exactly. Ready?

New jeans. It says it's 50° out. I personally think it's 20. I'm wearing a turtleneck, a turtleneck, and another turtleneck right now in my hotel room and I'm still kind of cold. Oh my god, I'm so exhausted. I'm really proud of myself that I only bought one thing. I know that doesn't seem like an accomplishment, but it is for me. me like 3 years ago would have bought bags and bags. But it used to be so horrible when I used to come to New York and just shop the whole time and like buy so much clothes. It was a nightmare getting it all home. And now I don't have that problem because I don't have as much of a shopping addiction. I still do probably, but it's less. I'm going to

dinner at 4:30. I'm not kidding cuz I'm so tired that I'm like I just want to go to dinner at 4:30 and then go to bed at like 7:00. But I can't go to bed at like 7:00 cuz then I'll wake up at 2:00 in the morning be like I'm up and I think I have an ingrown toenail. I feel an ingrown toenail developing on my right toe, my right big toe. I feel it. One time I had an ingrown toenail and I squeezed it really hard and popped it kind of like a pimple and I'll be honest, it was so satisfying. But none of my ingrown toenails since then have ever been poppable. It was just that one that was poppable was so much fun. It made it worth having a painful ingrown toenail. To be able to pop it and have that satisfying moment, but none of them have

been poppable again. So sad. It's such a shame. Very good. Oh, I am absolutely exhausted. Oh, I'm going to sleep like I've never slept before tonight. Like, I can't even keep my eyes open. I'm glad I didn't take a nap. I'm glad that I stayed up. Now, I'm going to sleep like a baby. Things are going my way.

Actually, things are kind of not going my way because my purple shampoo for my bleached hair exploded in my bag. Yeah. So, I am going to clean that up tomorrow. Um, but I'm I can't be bothered to do it now. So, I won't I'll at least clean off the toothpaste tonight cuz that is something I need. Good night. I woke up at like 6:30 this morning to get my hair and makeup done and then I went to an event. But now the event is over and for the rest of the day I just get to hang out which is kind of awesome. We're in our tourist era. We're kind of in our tourist era at the Brooklyn Bridge with the tourists. And to be honest, it's just absolutely gorgeous.

Um Yeah. But now what? It's actually very hot. It's very hot out. Everybody's taking a pick in front of it. I guess I have to I'm done. I've done it. We just found this incredible food court next to the Brooklyn Bridge. Every single food in here looks so good. I actually can't decide. I don't know what to get. What do I like, how do I make a decision? I want to get a little bit of everything. But I also don't want to have horrible gas, so I have to choose wisely. Egg and cheese and avocado crepe juice.
