what are you guys up to this weekend?

I'm waiting for my wife to give birth! We're going to have a little girl this weekend and I'm so excited. It's our first, so there's lots of nervousness about it.

Congratulations! Do you have a name ready or are you going to wait and see what fits once she’s here?
Amazing! Man its gonna be so magical for you, seeing her for the first time. Remember to take so many pictures of the little one throughout the first months cuz my god they grow FAST. Congrats to you both!
Congrats dude. It's a hell of a fucking ride but it's amazing
- Yeah, so we just finished up and are relaxing in the postpartum room. My god, it was a messy process there at the end.
  
  But I got the little redhead girl I wanted, so my wife and I are very happy.
  
  Here's to firsts 🍾

house sitting two big goofy german shepherds. they’re way more chill than my last clients.

I don't know why the one on the bottom makes me laugh. Looks like he's got a wicked hang over and you're talking too loudly lmao
- I was trying to figure out what that look was saying. This is exactly it.
- i swear it’s the folded ears. such a cutie.
Sweet doggies :)

A friend who I've only known through the Internet is flying up to a neighboring city. So, my husband and I are driving down to meet him in person for the first time.

It's crazy that I've interacted with him for close to a decade without ever meeting him physically. Wish me luck!

Visiting my 6w/o nephew at the hospital. He was born early with a heart failure and immediately taken to a special cardiological clinic and I hadn't had time to visit him and his parents yet. I'm quite excited to meet the little guy.

Hope he’s doing okay, sending some good thoughts!
- Thank you. He's doing fine, just waiting for corrective surgery now. That will fix the defect permanently (TGA, in case anyone is interested)

I'm camping on the side of a lake at a state park with some family friends, which is very fun.

Thanks for asking.

Friday was my 40^th birthday.
Saturday will be spent playing with my new lenses, reading my new TTRPG books and finally playing in the Pathfinder 2e campaign I'm in.
Sunday will be yardwork and relaxing.

Currently drinking a beer in bed. Tomorrow I'm going hiking in the morning and to a country dance bar at night. (The latter is definitely not my thing, but I'm being supportive of a friend.) Sunday, another hike and lunch with a friend, and then I'm thinking backyard fire pit time with my partner. Monday ideally will be games all day, but we'll see if life gets in the way.

Seeing family and playing D&D.

Eating ass and 69ing Nintendos

Other than that, I have no idea. Survive?

So eating ass while 69ing and playing Nintendo? Did I get that right?
- No I 69 the Nintendos.

All stocked up on healthy snacks and homemade sun tea. Gonna play Baldur's Gate all weekend.

Been taking to a guy and hoping to go on a date or something. Pokemon GO and cuddles is a date, right?

Good luck my hommie.

Definitely sounds like a date to me

I'm gonna install arch linux for the first time :3

Today I did a bit of handywork around the house.

Arch is a blast, good luck

Hitting the beach before it gets too cold for the season.

That sounds nice. We spent a pile of time at beaches this summer
Same here! Although my partner has no concept of “too cold” so we’ll end up on the beach in the middle of winter too.

Talking to our little boy our plans for the beach are:

Make a smiley face, Find Seaweed, SAUSAGES!
That sounds fun

Planning to drug myself into sleep, then live vicariously through Lemmy when insomnia kicks in, maybe write something of use to someone, while trying to balance painkillers, nightmares, and existential anguish long enough to get to physical therapy next week, without thinking too much about what I want/should do but can't.

Homework homework homework, then managing some flea market economics. Fun stuff (but unironically)

What are you studying
- Primarily math but also biology

I’m on my honeymoon trip with my wife! We’re in Paris then Amsterdam then Nice.

Take lots of pictures!
- My camera roll is full of funny street art and oddities. My wife’s is all normal.
  
  Yin and Yang or whatever 🤔

I ended up starting Deathloop. I feel like I just started but I am apparently several hours in.

There's also some other games I've been putting off finishing that I might go back and play but I feel like then I'm just going to put off progressing in Deathloop.

Baldur's Gate on PS5

Has there been any reviews out yet about how it plays on PS5? I am planning on getting it for PS5 (once I finally finish BOTW) but haven’t seen anything yet about what it’s like on PS5 compared to PC

Natural water-rockslide and Starfield!

Steamdeck gaming and #Monsterdon

I am playing a rock show with my bass guitar

Sitting in my chair archiving vhs tapes

Do you have any rare/collectible ones?
- Most of them are home movies and I do have a few movie tapes
Don't go toward the music.

Work, because I have to get a physics library finished. Next week I really want to focus on preparing for an exposition.

Work! Just started a new job making more than my last one, woohoo.

Congrats, What industry?
- The wonderful world of retail! 😂 But hopefully it'll help me get back to where I want to be, which is going back to school to finish my bachelor's in medical laboratory science.

Visited my long-distance partner for a chill few days. Headed back soon and getting good hikes, and tike with friends.

It’s my wife’s 30th birthday. We had dinner at our favorite German bar last night then we came home and buzzed all my hair off. Today we’re going to the coast for a day out then tomorrows the big day. Still waiting on some gifts to get here but I figure they’ll be held up in the mail.

Working all weekend in the boiling sun.

Two friend/family barbecues. Some yardwork. Playing some ukulele and maybe some Baldur's Gate 3.
