There’s an art festival I’m planning to go to tomorrow. It’s horror, occult, and oddities type of stuff, so it should be fun. Then maybe hanging out with a friend visiting from out of town.

Business, always business
Three hours of community radio broadcasting from home, then maybe finish cleaning the caravan, put some washing on while the sun is hitting the solar panels, maybe a trip to bunnings to get some root killer for the sewer, and drop a dead dishwasher to the recycling place.
Get high. Drink vodka. Watch The Office. Laugh uncontrollably. In no particular order, and all with my amazing wife. That's just tonight tho. Tomorrow we have to clean the house. I'll be high for that too because cleaning sucks.
No specific plans but probably a combination of Diablo IV and System Shock :)
Gotta finish planning the D&D session I'm running on Sunday
Halfway through finishing my basement, running electric tomorrow, then if I finish in time got tickets to a show.
Saturday afternoon where I am. But last night I went out for dinner and drinks with a few friends, tonight I have a 30th birthday party to attend, and tomorrow I'm playing dungeons and dragons
Picked up FF16 so I'll be playing through that, hanging out at the [small] local coffee shop we do every Saturday and celebrating one of the patron's birthday's, and doing a final walkthrough on a house we just closed on. Exciting things!
watched a bunch of shows. finished black mirror. vacuumed the floor and thinking of how to make an analytics newsletter
Two TTRPG sessions (Dungeons & Dragons in person, Call of Cthulhu online), going swimming at the public pool, working some more on my translations of German folk tales.
I’ve had a very tiring past 3 weeks so I’m taking it easy this weekend. So far today I’ve done my first decent calisthenics workout in a long time, and geeked around some with my Emacs org mode GTD setup.
Well, for me the weekend is the start of my (very weird) weekly work schedule so my weekend is pretty much just ending.
However, thanks to a recommendation at the Star Trek community I picked up one of the Star Trek books for my Kindle since they're on sale so I'll definitely be reading that!
Additionally, I updated my Minecraft server to 1.20.1 and nuked the world since I hadn't really progressed at all (the TL;DR of that situation is that I've been "working" on that server since 2021 - it was intended to be a new public server that my ex and I were going to create, but I just haven't had a lot of time or motivation to do so after we split up) so I'll probably be giving that a go!
I finally got a refill for an important medication I'm on, it was three weeks late and has been stressing me out so I'm relieved over that. There are plenty of other stressors going on as of lately, but that was a pretty big one.
Other than that, for better or for worse I'll just be going wherever the days take me!
Trying to figure out how to stain the maple cabinets I built. It's been harder than anticipated... But progress is progress. One step at a time and all that.
fucking working ಠ ೧ ಠ
Was a an enjoyable evening on Friday or drinking with my partner and one of her friends.
Then yesterday was the Edinburgh Pride march which was a heck of a lot of fun.
May check out some vinyl bars around me! I'd just read about these recently and am curious to check them out
going out for brunch and nails with a friend tomorrow so doing various errands today before my partner and i veg out on the couch to some edibles (for him, i’m not allowed rn bc of health stuff unfortunately) and a movie. should be nice!
I’m getting on a plane in a few hours and flying home after a week in Jamaica for my honeymoon.
Then tomorrow my wife and I are plopping our asses on the couch and not moving for the rest of the day.
Cleaning ☠️ Both my tabletop games have been cancelled, and what with work lately, a backlog has started to pile up.
Sleeping if I can help it, but lately I can't nap for fuck and I wake up at (at the latest) 9. Not so bad normally but weekends are the only time I can hang out with my night shift friend who wakes up at like 6 PM. He's a bit depressed lately and I don't want to leave him hanging, so I've been working out how to be well slept and still give him some time of day.
DM'd my 2nd ever Dungeons and Dragons game online with Foundry Friday night, then Saturday is some cleaning and fixing my back porch followed by some beer and Mexican food for dinner, and probably a nighttime Pokemon go walk.
might go to the gym tomorrow, but honestly hoping i don't unless i feel significantly better. past 2.5 weeks have been rough on my mind and body; feeling super scarily depressed and drained and exhausted, had a massive breakdown this morning. just hoping i can relax as much as possible and be gentle with myself. i know some may say the gym is good for mental health and all that, but for me it can be draining, especially if i'm already feeling low. and with my current level of dysregulation, i might feel more socially anxious/paranoid. if i do feel well enough, though, it'll be good to get back on track with that.
if any linux users would like to try and make me feel better - whyyyyyyyyyyy won't debian 12 boot, grub keeps whining about like 14 failed sectors????? but my ssd should be okay, it's only a year old and macos (mid-2012 macbook pro) is running fine on the other partition???????? i keep reinstalling linux and it just does not care, i tried update-grub and it does not caaaarrreeeeeeeeee
Rough times come and rough times go. Sometimes it seems all times are rough and in hindsight, some weren't. Sometimes, everything sucks in hindsight.
Go to the gym every time you are able and congratulate yourself for pulling it off. Don't go when you are not able and congratulate yourself for being good to you. It's not always easy, but if both outcomes can eventually feel like a win, then you get some wins in the list, make sense?
I'm going to go play DDR!
