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
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.
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
the greatest man in my whole life finally returned and i’ve been walking on rainbows and basking in pure sunshine. He’s my greatest LGBTQ+ ally and i feel more myself than ever. i feel like i can tackle the whole world one tiny step a a time…
my running routine has been regular again, i’m eating healthy and clean with very little cravings, and getting some eerie short story collections under my belt: Thomas Ligotti’s Teatro Grottesco and Nathan Ballingrud’s North American Lake Monsters.
it feels like the clouds have finally parted and everything everyday is just suffused with an extra encouraging glow…
Pretty good. Did some great grilling last night while watching baseball (Dodgers lost, dammit), and today we finally get a break from some very hot weather.
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 🥺
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.
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.
