just finished my 43rd book of the year; currently helping administer an idea for a confederation of websites and we just got our Loomio set up
Today is my birthday! so wish me a happy birthday
Took a week off from work last week. Maybe you could tell because I wasn’t on Beehaw all the time posting stupid memes lol. Spent the week dogsitting for my parents. I packed my gaming PC and made some great progress in Dork Souls 2, and binged those Castlevania animes on Netflix. I love to match “vibes” like this across my media I’m consuming. I also took the opportunity to take a lil t-break from the devil’s lettuce, and i’m definitely better off for it. Most importantly, I got in lots of R&R and I feel more rested, happy, and creative than I have in months. Back at work now and amazed how much easier my job is when i’m not constantly fighting burnout.
Edit: thank you all for the well wishes, I saw every one and they all made my day better 😊
Happy bday!!!
Happy belated!
Been sick for 13 days, went in to urgent care yesterday because it had progressed to a sore throat in the last few days and turns out it’s strep. Glad I’m on antibiotics and hoping to feel better soon.
I hope it passes quickly and you can get some good rest over the next few days!
Lil bit of a bummer, feels like I just exercise, work, and sleep. My limited free time has been spent on my family, which… ughhhh by the time I realized they mistreated me all my life and I hate them, they’d lost power over me, so basically they’re not pushing me around anymore and think we’re all friends, and I don’t know how to tell them that I’m retroactively spiteful. So I play nice.
Gonna try so hard to get some reading and drawing done in the coming days.

I feel that. If you have a job that gives you a balance of days off, make sure you are using those! I know i have been bad about that in the past and it contributed to burnout.

This is really hard. I don’t know your whole situation, but this seems like the kind of situation where you will never really get to share your feelings with them unless they realize they made mistakes that they should apologize for. Otherwise, sharing your emotions seems like it’ll just lead to more mistreatment. But that’s just my two cents, and I’m no professional. I hope that reading and drawing is restorative for you ❤
Had a great weekend!
I started a D&D campaign with friends and it was a great first session. I love my character coming to life. There are some background things to figure out still but I love love playing them so the whole thing is already a big win in my book.
This week will be my final days of chilling at home before I start my new job next Tuesday. I’m excited to start doing something again after 2.5 months unemployed. Trying not to think about how tired I’ll be in 2 weeks from now 😅
Congrats on the new job AND new campaign! Both are really kind of a feat (heh), and you should be proud!!
Thank you :))
For a second I thought you were talking about writing, and I was like holy heck that’s a lot of books!
And well, it still is!
I’m excited. I’m going to see Green Day tonight! Plus Rancid and The Smashing Pumpkins
90s concert overload!! How long you been a Green Day fan? You a Dookie kid or an American Idiot kid?
I grew up in the same area so I knew them when they were Sweet Children! Can’t believe it’s been so long!
Dang that’s awesome! So this is extra special for you. The best concerts are the ones with bands that are about to blow up but haven’t just yet, imo
It was soooo good!
Some good, some more bad. But slowly regaining myself and my free time. Been too damn hectic.
had some really icky back pain last week, so i’ve been trying to do yoga in the mornings before work.
jean got another title and i fostered a puppy over the weekend.
picked up a dog bike trailer yesterday from a friend, and i started teaching echo (border collie) how to sit/stand/lay calmly in it this afternoon in the driveway. hoping she will enjoy it!
omg shut up that puppy is so cute. And Jean looks so proud!!
Started my full dose of girl pills this week so I’m on that hormonal transitionary period and shit is wild
Yas girl!!
hooray for titty sprinkles!
Pretty good: I finished reading Fauna which was wild. Spent the night in a nearby hotel with the family because of this hurricane: our house is surrounded by huge trees so we were worried.
Week has been a fuckin mixed bag. At the moment, I’m at a specific combination of - drunk / high / angry at injustices / loving people for what they are trying to give - that makes me want to yell and cry and connect with people. But connections are also a mixed bag for me.
My dickhead boss quit to go be a cop. I hope I can get back on salary after he’s gone.
dickhead boss confirmed he is a dickhead by changing careers to cop. ACAB
He’s been casually racist around most of the people in the office so I’m sure he’ll fit right in.
