I haven’t been on here as much as normal as I’ve had a busy week(for me). How is everyone? Anything cool happen?Anything to get off your chest? Or Just shoot the breeze
Good enough. A very busy week, this week appears to be a return to a more normal level of busy. Some minor social engagements and the starting of a new art project by a loved one.
What’s the project if you don’t mind me asking?
Directing a local community theater production. Very small production, but it fills my heart to see them grow as an artist.
Was at the Salvadoran bakery a block from my place yesterday, and an old woman in line behind me paid for my food. I’m not sure if she thought I was homeless or if she thought I was a lost soul that needed to be helped towards the light… (The woman in line ahead of me had just told me god loved me a few minutes before.)
Either way. Always happy to get free empanadas! Took them home, made Turkish coffee. Favorite brunch.
My nose has felt miserable for like a month and I finally have my ENT appointment on Tuesday, so that’s great.
Fucking fantastic! You?
Not bad all in all. I had a lot of projects to finish but they were all fun art projects so I can’t complain
After roughly five hours of phone calls, on Friday I somehow managed to get a lead on getting my mother back on social assistance. We have an appointment tomorrow for her to apply. I’m hoping that the application actually goes through and we don’t once again get told to screw off.
I’m gonna be exhausted this week!! I have so many appointments.
I was a social worker for a while in what feels like a past life. Trust me, it’s infuriating on their end as well there’s nothing more frustrating than trying to help someone in need and being blocked by red tape and bureaucracy. I hope all goes well, my thoughts are with you
Thank you, I am super incredibly nervous but I hope it ends up going well. Kinda sucks trying to support another person when I myself am on poverty-level social assistance, but if both of us are on it, it will relieve a lot of stress.
Honestly, kind of bad. Quitting cigarettes due to GERD or intestinal issues and I am going through irritability and it’s honestly kicking my ass a bit.
Don’t feel too bad about it. I’m in intensive out patient for alcoholism. Two months sober but I still can’t quit smoking. It’s hard, best of luck to you
It does get better. Keep at it. There’s an app called Smoke Free that did it for me. Icon is a green heart. I’m at 3 years, 3 months, 3 weeks. You got this.
Lots of appointments this week and all of them were good news (surprisingly).
This week only has one thankfully and I already know it’s going to be fine as it’s just to adjust some medication up.
I got 2 big tasks done this weekend, a resin 3D print for a friend and painting about 80ish paint swatches for my miniature paints.
Pretty good. Aced my finals, flying out to New York tomorrow with my partner for a little vacay! Then it’s back to school for summer term next Monday.
Doing alright. I played hooky from work on Friday and have tomorrow off too. Did some house chores and a handful off the larger todo list.
Moved into a new apartment after a remote work trip through europe.
Got necessary furniture, whitegoods and home wares, set up utilities. Started a new job, and managed my side business during off hours. Started learning Rust because i aim to contribute in small ways to Lemmy and build a ui. Had a sesh with my delta green group.
Was a busy week, but i feel oddly addicted to the level of activity. Learning rust is going a bit slow but I’m enjoying it!
I had a really nice week! I took the week off and it lined up nicely with my partner being mostly off too. We took a day to go out cycling and sea swimming. Also got to sit in the pub with their friends which I hadn’t done in ages. I was also invited to a book club meeting which my friend runs because apparently no one had read the book they were meant to and she had loads of food going spare. I met some really nice people through that! I hope I get to hang out with them again. I might even read some books haha!
Starting a new job today teaching! I’m nervous af and super apprehensive but I’m always like this before something new. I’m sure it’ll be fine once I settle into the new routine. Just have to get over those first week jitters!
Doing alright, existing is getting really expensive though. Never seem to have free time to rest my mind these days, and any projects I had on the go are on hold as the money has dried up.
I am trying to practice mindfulness and gratitude a little more. I was able to lead Father’s Day for my dad and Father-in-Law. I grilled out all day and really did a pretty good job.
Even with the normal family gathering irritation, I was able to keep my cool and make it through 🤙
Last week was pretty quiet. This week is probably going to be quite a but busier (Pride weekend, among other things).
Got out for a bike ride yesterday which was quite nice :) I continue to be out of shape, but I was less sore than after the previous one so that feels like improvement.
Eh busy week, abroad on a business trip for almost a month now. Weekend was nice though, got the chance to do some sightseeing. Other than that, still hoping for a particular person to contact me (I don’t have their contact), not sure it will ever happen but hey, who knows, I am an optimist by nature :)
