hello Beehaw, it’s a sleepy morning–and i did not get very much sleep. luckily i have no social priorities so this is not a big deal. currently reading a number of books after completely crashing out of doing that for the entire month of June. i think i can get about 3 in before the end of the month, we’ll see
I’m in the process of selling my current car to my sibling so I can get something more fuel efficient with a hatchback. Have my eye on something specific and hopefully nobody snags it up before saturday!
I had a lovely weekend full of sleep. My bedroom is on the top floor, with a tall ceiling and no attic above me. It was a loudly rainy morning yesterday, so I just slept in and it was so relaxing and chill.
Today I got stuff done at work. I feel accomplished and on-track with my work goals. Tonight I’ll probably play a violent shoot-'em-up game (Payday 2) with friends online.
I need to get my tiny elderly dog to eat his breakfast as soon as I get home. My WFH partner reports Tiny Dog is a Tiny Butthead.
Update:
Good. I came out as bi to my cousin yesterday. I’ve actually been having an ok week. I hope things stay ok
I saw you’re post about this today! I’m glad you’ve found someone who is understanding of your struggles.
Are you feeling a little bit more confident about the future?
The bad: I made the worst mistake at work I’ve made so far, so I’m getting started on the wrong foot. I’m doing what I can to fix it, but I dropped the ball on one of my clients, and it’s tearing me apart.
Plus, it turns out Chuck Palahniuk is a raging misogynist, so I need to find a different book.
The good: Doggies are cute, and so are kitties
Going to see Tori Amos this weekend so I will be giddy all week. Saw her once before 18 years ago, so it’s been a long time coming. Can’t wait!!
Preparing to go to a national park, one that my mother has been excited to visit for the last decade… Yellowstone!
We got very affordable flight ticket prices, and the whole family’s gonna be extra busy after this summer, so I’m hoping it turns out nicely. Also excited to try out my new binoculars! I want to see many borbs 🥺
I finished a meeting that I was dreading for WEEKS. It went ok.
Just created my account here in the past day. I know it probably can’t last, but I don’t think I’ve had that “cozy” feeling right away in a forum or other online community like this in decades, and I’d say it was somewhat rare even “back in the day.”
So far folks seem to live up to the stated goals of the place and I think that’s pretty great.
So my day is going pretty good because that’s a pleasant surprise, and because a stressful work event today ended up being not too stressful after all.
welcome! i created my account over a month ago but i agree, this is the most civil & “cozy” site i’ve seen in a while since small niche blogs & forums were actually a thing. places like this have been rare af since the late 2010s, so it’s refreshing to see such a place with this many users
Sigh, I’m okay. Work is really stressful lately. I went through an acquisition, and really got demoted in both rank and importance. Defeating, but, I’m also still glad to have a job where I can work from where my cats live.
So far, so good. Optimistic about getting a job soon. :)
I’d sum it up as: 😴☕📝
Can’t wait for my thesis overview to be in the past (hopefully I pass! 🤞)
I hope you pass too, I live in a college town and the whole area is empty during finals hahaha
Good luck! Although I’m sure you don’t need it with all the work you’ve put in.
Went to a coffee cupping class and got to talk shop with other coffee roasters. It’s been a great start to the week.
my weeks been great, been eatin dino nuggets and watchin movies
On the one hand I’ve gotten a lot of reading time and have been enjoying my current book (Children of Time) much more than the last book I tried (The Dark Forest [yeah, I know it’s a modern classic of the genre, I just really didn’t like the translation]). On the other, I was with my wife all day in the ER because she developed a kidney infection. Everyone’s fine now though so… pretty mixed so far?
