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
It’s been a weird couple weeks for me. I was working six days a week for the last three months and now they’ve been giving me these random middle of the week days off so my sleep schedule is just wrecked lol back to work for today and tomorrow now but it’s been pretty slow here so I mainly just browse beehaw and mastodon all day. Luckily I get hourly + commission so if I see one or two customers today I’ll be happy. It’s been a pretty chill week I guess. 😌 Sorta depressing that my life is all about work lately though
i’ve been stuck in a rut now for a couple of weeks, so this week hasn’t been any different. i am in a state of living right now where nothing is interesting to me: no games, no movies/shows, no music, not really anything. i am thinking about buying pikmin 4 to help with that. i’ve never really played any pikmin games but it looks so fun
The thing I found that works for me is trying to exercise. Even if I got nothing else done that day, at least I got 15-30 minutes of exercise. Plus, in the long run, it tends to help with your mental health.
thank you for this advice! it might just be my issue. i usually lift a few days during the week, but i haven’t been able to for the past few weeks due to life. i’ll give it a shot & hope for the best
Holidays! Almost the end of them and I am so tired I must say. In a good way I think but I will need to recover at home for a few days.
I am addicted to internet and mmos and I managed to curb it a solid bit due to holidays but it never lasts honestly.
Here I was doing 10k steps a day bare feet on the beach walks, generally being more healthy than at home and I fear I will slump again into my old habits of sitting and mmoing all day. Already bought ffxiv complete edition on sale.
Frankly lemmy is also part of my eternal crusade against digital addictions
Spent the week at a work conference. I normally WFH, so getting to see everyone in person was kinda nice. Got a flight delay going home - no big deal, but I’m anxious to get back home to my dogs and partner.
Wrapping up a trip to the Philippines! Having mixed feelings about going back to real life soon. Also, this is my first post here. I always feel awkward introducing myself in those introduction type threads, but hello everyone!
As a wow player, I started my 3 day weekend and accomplished getting a new raid mount, and one I’ve wanted since I started playing! I’ve only been playing since around September, but it’s a 1% chance of dropping so I’m grateful!
I’ve been playing Tears of the Kingdom a lot which is great!
But today I’m suddenly feeling pretty sad. I have really bad executive dysfunction and ADHD and there’s a lot of things I want to draw. There’s Art Fight and also this July art prompt list for a fandom I really want to do some art for, but I don’t know if I have the time or motivation to do it. Not to mention there’s an art commission that I haven’t finished and they’ve been waiting a while. They have been so patient but I’ve been planning to get it done this summer and it feels like it’s almost over. And like, I have hobbies outside of drawing so that makes it harder.
Also r/place starts today. I loved r/place last year. It was incredible to participate in and see. But all the shit Reddit has pulled and how bitter I feel towards it has really put a damper on it and I feel sad just thinking about it.
I’m also pretty bummed out about how…empty the fediverse feels in a lot of corners. Even the communities that have opened as a substitute for other subreddits are often empty or inactive. There seems to be a lack of a fandom on Fediverse which means it feels pretty lonely and even if I made stuff relating to that I feel like it wouldn’t get a lot of attention.
Dealing with my executive dysfunction. I managed to study for 90 minutes this Monday morning, and I tried to continue that same afternoon, but I couldn’t do more than 30 minutes.
I need to put my head in order to avoid those situations, but I can’t.
Last week my gf and her friends gave me the chance to do something different, so I quit my job (on the grace period right now) and we are starting to figure law stuff out cause we are international
Massive windstorm came through my area last Friday afternoon. Had like Cat 1 hurricane winds. In the Midwest US. So it knocked down trees and powerlines all over the metro area. I was out of power from 4:00pm on Friday through 8:30pm Monday.
So it was a shitty weekend. I (and my brother who’s visiting) stayed in my apartment on Friday night, which was sweltering. Humidity and like 85F (29.4C) temps inside, even with windows open, made it miserable to sleep. Saturday, we spent like 7hrs at my company’s tiny office (we’re actually full remote) charging up phones and battery banks, while just hanging out and enjoying the AC. But we stayed in my apt again on Saturday night, which was just a bit cooler, but enough that I was able to sleep like 8hrs. Sunday during the day was OK, but then it rained again and got sunny afterwards, driving up humidity. We finally decided to get a hotel room. On Monday, after checking out, we hung out at the local library to work (I could’ve gone to my office, but I knew a couple co-workers w/o power at home were there). Monday evening was a little cooler again, so we braved the apt, and then the power came back. Even through Tuesday, there were still like a thousand customers in the metro without power. I think the utility is back to normal ops now.
Overall, it just a wasted weekend. It sorta felt like homelessness, especially when going to my office, then to the hotel, then going to the library. At my apartment, it was sorta like camping but way less fun.
At least I had no property damage or injuries. Driving around, I saw lots of trees on houses. I saw at least a few vehicles that looked totally destroyed since trees fell on them. So it could’ve been worse for us.
Pretty much like the last couple: Not fast enough during the work parts, the weekend will probably fly by so fast it’ll feel like I didn’t have one. Rinse, repeat.
It’s been going well! I received my passport yesterday so I’m planning a trip to see some friends in Canada for later this year. I’ve been struggling with my book goals lately too but I’m ~250 pages through Priory of the Orange Tree and loving it.
