My week has been a mixed bag. Spending a lot of time with my family (been great!), but having to spend a lot of money to have some big (and old/rotting/dangerous) trees cut down has been more stressful than I expected.

Mine is a rollercoaster of emotions that will hopefully settle soon. And very muggy weather that is leading to some very poor sleep.
However on the positive side if things I am enjoying my first ever rewatch since the original airing of The X-Files and reading The Shadow of the Gods by John Gwyne and it's really bloody good.
Pretty good, finally went through with trading in my ridiculous Shelby Mustang ( I loved it! until I had to drive it everyday) on a more adult and less spine wrecking Giulia, still a very fun and cool ride, just much more mature and tame. Also knocked my debt down a significant chunk. I'm shocked at how responsible I'm being, at least as responsible as buying an Italian sports sedan can be. If I made a mistake it wasn't as big of a mistake as the other guy there buying a brand new Maserati. =)
Also it's got real wewd on the dash and a cream interior which makes me feel like a fancy boy and I know I can modify it at some point unlike the Shelby, which is something I missed, I love tinkering with my cars.
Also finalized everything for my new gig, excited to get to work there and make some money again.> night
My mother blew up at my dad for not being able to wave a wand and get her Alfa fixed, the usual little electrical gremlins with fancy cars, nothing serious but it totally fucked my dads day up. Makes me realize why I avoid close relationships in my life, wish I knew how to get over that.
My week has been kinda sucky, thanks
Work as an RN in a small rural hospital so I see code blues here and there. The other night another RN calls a code blue on a patient that went into sustained vfib/vtach. I was second in to the room and the patient looks like they are seizing. I think their heart has stopped at this point.
I have my gloves on and I am just waiting to see if they are pulseless (couldn't tell if they were breathing being on bipap already). They all of a sudden start talking to the primary RN and snap out of the dangerous heart rhythm on their own.
That patient was a second or two away from having a 300lb man forcibly compressing their chest to keep their blood pumping.
Could be better. Apartment management sent my lease renewal my way and it’s $200 more expensive. This is the third year in a row that I’ll have had an increase like that.
I can’t afford the new rent, but I can’t afford to move, either.
relatable experience; this is the situation my family is basically stuck in where the rent is borderline unaffordable for us but anywhere else would be worse so we just have to hope for the best. hopefully one day it'll be better for everyone, and nobody will have to worry like this about whether they can be housed
just finishing up studying for my final exam on monday, been having particular trouble with this one- something about calculus is just reeaaaaally boring for me, it’s been a struggle to stay focused.
