The birth (or death) of a relative, the release of a new program, game, series, movie, the date you were dreaming about, could be anything
I’ve been working every day since January. Every weekday, every weekend day, every day. But finally on June 15th I’ll be down to one remote job and can go sailing for a few weeks straight. I’ve finally sort of got my finances in reasonable shape, I’ve paid off my car, and have a little breathing room.
That’s awesome! I commend people who can work nonstop like that. I hope you enjoy your well deserved break!
I bought a steam deck and have been checking every day waiting for it to arrive… Or even be shipped! They finally packaged the damn thing!
Congrats man, my deck was one of the best purchases I did in a long while
Yeah the shipping was weirdly the only bad part of the experience. You’re in for a great ride!

A consultation this week to start hormone therapy
hells yes! congrats!
New hydro power in Ethiopia - it’s nowhere near me, but nice to see how optimistic the young people are there.
Hmm. I just realized I haven’t been excited about anything in a long time.
That sucks.
I would try to be excited for you, but I am too tired from life.
My reaction when reading the post’s title: nothing.
I am not tired.
I had a similar realization recently. When I was younger I’d be excited for something for months at a time, but now that I’m older I can’t really look forward to something until it’s right there.
I’ve been trying to look forward to small things lately, even if it’s something small I’m doing for myself like a nice dinner. It helps
Going home. I’m at some weekend festival to support a hobby my husband has become very passionate about. I’m incredibly happy for him and love that he’s found this but it’s just not my thing and I want to go home. Also some asshole at a party last night said something stupid to me to make me feel unnecessarily unwelcome and I really shouldn’t be letting it affect me. Anywho
ETA I also really miss my dogs!

Fuck that guy. He’s the problem, not you. Try to look at it from that perspective and you may ease your mind a little.
Who does that? It’s horrible to treat someone like that.
Thank you! I really appreciate that and needed to hear it :)
Nothing. Dinner if I must say.
Nice, what’s for dinner?
Nothing special. I just love to eat
Don’t we all?
Playing a show this weekend with my band, who are like family to me.
Cover band or you have original songs? Share something!
Having just washed my clothes, as a night owl I’m going to reward myself with a nice dinner, when most people are having breakfast.
Here’s the plan:There’s a coffee shop/deli in my town that has the best tomato soup, plus they make their own croutons, the best I’ve ever had for soup, as they are hard and don’t get soggy. I’m going to order two soups for takeout, pour olive oil on it, as well as cracked pepper and cubed avocado. Also, I’m going to air fry some asparagus with garlic butter, on the side.
Then there’s sharp cheddar in the fridge, I’m going to make a bunch of squares, place each square on a tortilla chip and bake at a low temp for a short time, just enough to make the cheese ooze without it thinning. On top of each chip, a teaspoon of green onion dip and a slice of fresh serrano chilies. That’s the original, old school nachos recipe from Ciudad Juarez back in the 1930s or 40s, I believe.
Not to toot my own horn, but I think this all sounds pretty damn good!
The kiddo is over at the grand parents this weekend, so I got that house clean which is pretty exciting.
Never thought you’d get those stains out.
I’m gonna go camping. Not sure where or where yet, but I’m gonna drive up into the mountains and spend a couple nights in the tent.
By Q1 2025, I should have a full implant-supported denture, replacing my top teeth. I’ve had a partial for almost a year now, as I fussed around, trying to decide how to proceed. I’ll be very glad to be done with this phase.
Then we’ll deal with the bottom ones…
A long weekend to rest. I had a hysterectomy on the 1st and went back to work last week and by last night I was so sore. I’m feeling a lot better overall but sitting up for 8 hours a day was a lot harder than I expected. Having 3 days where I can lay down when I need to is really nice. Plus, it’s supposed to be really nice out, so maybe I’ll do some of the resting in my hammock.
Good to hear you’re healing up well! My significant other is going to have the same procedure done shortly and it’s good to hear of overall timelines of healing and what to expect.
If it’s laparoscopic, it shouldn’t be too bad. I spent pretty much the whole first week in bed napping off and on, other than short walks every couple of hours. The second week, I worked from home (still in bed) and had to lay down for a few minutes here and there, but felt a lot better. With ice packs and rest, I only needed to take anything for pain the first 4-ish days and then occasionally when I pushed myself a little too hard, and I never needed anything stronger than advil/tylenol.
The only thing I wish I’d done was either taking higher doses of stool softeners or taking a laxative sooner - it’s unpleasant to talk about but trust me when I say your SO really doesn’t want to go several days without pooping when you can’t really push without feeling like you’re going to tear something important.
I just got a new immersion blender.
Milkshakes and vindaloo :)
I’m building a new PC soon and today I’m trying some psychedelic mushrooms for the first time.
Are you me in my early 20s? Enjoy it, dude!
Don’t eat anything if you can help it today. Also if you’re on any antidepressant you will have diminished effects. Take at least 3.5 grams if you want to “trip” at all. Have fun!
Man, I miss shrooms.
