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
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.
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.
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
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.
I created my own Lemmy instance for my small town!
I cannot get anyone to use it at all! I tried to post about it on the local Facebook group and I got banned!
To be fair, I created it to take people out of the toxic shit pile, but the page is called “uncensored” which is a little hypocritical if you ask me.
I think people are weary that it’s a “scam” somehow. Even though there are hundreds of fake accounts on the FB group and the page owner is an ultra right wing nutjob and allows tons of troll accounts to run wild.
I have now created my own Facebook group in hopes to draw away members, I will then subtly introduce my Lemmy instance to them.
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?
Been having a long week myself. I could hardly sleep the last two days and work has been insanely busy. I’ve been spending my weekends doing a second job to try and get out of debt and get experience in a field I want to enter. I am so tired and desperately need a day off, but I feel like if I do, I’ll just be depressed all day. Good luck with your reading! I’ve been reading City of Brass and loving it, hope to get that finished in the next week or so.

i must say that the true-crime writing style is not one i am endeared to and i am finding myself cringing at how some of I’ll Be Gone in the Dark is written
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!
