it's Friday night, what's everyone doing this weekend?
Mine is going to be laid back if all goes according to plan. I'm going to do some birding with a friend tomorrow morning, then I'm headed to a used bookstore to buy a copy of "the pricess bride" that I talked myself out of the other day (I've never read it). Then I'm hitting the farmers market and then relaxing at home for the foreseeable future. Enjoy your weekend!
Old friends and their kids are coming to visit for about half a week. Haven’t seen them for a few years. No big plans: just hang out and catch up.
I'm sick. So I'm just passing time on my bed, setting up a new laptop I just got. Not super exciting, but it's always fun getting a new toy.
Probably hitting up some stores with the wife tomorrow. We looked at paints last weekend for the house and found them to be a bit dark, so we’re going a little lighter! May wash that down with some Korean BBQ and then probably spin up some characters on Diablo 4 with the wife too. Guild Wars 2 has had my attention lately too, so I may farm achievements on that
The Princess Bride is as wonderful a book as it is a movie! You're gonna love it 😊
I'm gonna be cleaning my apartment because we're finally getting a couch!! And I need to get the place in order so it's easy to maneuver it in. We've lived in our place for a few months already but still in box city... so it's nice to have something to force me to unpack and make it look presentable.
My husband and I have decided to start our own book club this weekend. We are nerds and both enjoy reading but he has limited time and I have limited patience with it because I had a stroke a few years ago and it's not as easy as it used to be for me. We're starting with short stories and we'll just read one at a time ad discuss when we're done. I'm hoping it will improve my skills over time and I know we'll enjoy the extra bonding. We're reading A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms by George R R Martin. He's read all of the ASOIAF books and I've not read any of them. We've both watched both of the related TV shows.
Visiting my Dad in Toronto. Seeing the sights with my family for the first time. Just wrapping it all up and loving the overall pride vibe. Happy Pride to everyone! Spread love... I'm sending it right now!
Finally clean my space because it is a complete mess
A few of us are going fishing, but I think I'm gonna swim.
I'm finally getting a quiet weekend where I don't have to go anywhere. I plan on finishing this week's to-do list, and then Saturday night a friend and I are having our weekly anime night. We're watching Demon Slayer. Then Sunday I want to watch The Amazing Mr. X from 1948.
Downloaded Surveillance Capitalism and going to play Diablo 4
Lots of streaming and calls with my gf
Going to try to get to the forge and do some blacksmithing
Bringing a thermos of soju and dancing at all the free music booths from Pride Toronto! I really needed this.
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.
Halfway through finishing my basement, running electric tomorrow, then if I finish in time got tickets to a show.
What am I doing? Anything but pooping. But seriously, apparently I'm going to be eating a lot of protein and minimal fiber...
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
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.
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
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.
Going to a concert tomorrow night, and then reading and spending some time with my newborn. Should be a good rainy weekend.
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.
We will be doing stuff around the house. One kids has a birthday party in the afternoon. Start meal planning for next week so we can do our big shop on Sunday.
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!
Planting grapes and irises, then going to the local Italian restaurant for dinner. Tomorrow, picking up hay for the donkeys. Playing Valheim between all that. 😆
Business, always business
watched a bunch of shows. finished black mirror. vacuumed the floor and thinking of how to make an analytics newsletter
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.
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!
fucking working ಠ ೧ ಠ
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
Wooorrrkkiiinngg. I work weekend shift as a warehouse supervisor. Pretty much live there for three days but then I've got four days off.
Self-hosting projects! Excited to dig more into docker and portainer. Today was a database, knowledgebase, and dashboard. Tomorrow who the fuck knows but I'm psyched.
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.
I'm currently rejoicing over the fact that I finally solved my issue with the computer speakers playing, along with taking a good rest from my graduation!
Unfortunately I work on the weekends. I got Mon and Tues off. My boyfriend also works the night shift on Thur, Fri, and Sat night.
But tomorrow night I'll probably take my dog for a walk, and when I get back have a beer or two and mod my PS3. Been thinking about it for awhile. Started busting out my PS2 and was thinking about updating it since I modded it awhile ago, then realized I never got around to doing the PS3. Unfortunately I eventually need to get an external hdd for the games, so it's just gonna be the basics of modding it.
Got home kat was looking for this cricket that was chirping in my rose bush...didn't find it so will try again tomorrow...
Midsummer festivals to celebrate the Solstice have all been scheduled for this weekend in my city :D very excited to go with my family
Sunday now but yesterday I went into town and saw a 4k restored version of The Wicker Man with Edward Woodward & Christopher Lee. It was a lot funnier than I remember especially the scene with Brit Ekland trying to tempt Edward Woodward in the next room!
Today will be fiddling about with my modular and maybe have a go at starting to code a tool for work
I'm on annual leave all next week so I have a very long weekend!
I'm planning to stay up late playing Railway Empire 2, lie in when I can, go for walks along the seafront when it isn't too hot, and spend the rest of the time hiding from the sun playing DRG with my wife
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.
I've been getting ready to sell my jewelry at local markets, so I'm going to be working on bulking out my inventory and putting together my table :)
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.
Cleaning around the house and catching up on Silo. Might tweak my Emacs config a bit.
May check out some vinyl bars around me! I'd just read about these recently and am curious to check them out
Tomorrow will be a very busy day. I'm going to a flea market in the morning, then a grad party in the afternoon, and then I'm watching the new spider-verse at a drive in! Hopefully will be a lot of fun.
studying for my final exam on monday! one of my least favourite classes i’ve had, but it is what it is
I'm going to go play DDR!
