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!
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.
Celebrating my anniversary! Going to go do some fun boat stuff on the water. Have a nice dinner afterwards. Also planning a murder mystery birthday party for next weekend.
Racing a sailboat from San Francisco to Half Moon Bay, spending the night there and motoring back on Sunday. We've been doing well in the ocean races so far this year, so I'm hoping for a good result tomorrow.
Enjoy the book! I've not read it yet either, though I plan to some day. :)
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!
I'm getting off a medication that give me extra panic and anxiety so I'm taking as much anxiety medication I can and sleeping it out of my system hopefully! Fingers crossed!!
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.
I will be continuing to learn UE5, catch up on some work, and hopefully feel better. Had to go to urgent care today for a appendicitis scare. X-Rays looked good so I just got steroids.
Recovering from work this week. Getting ready to fly cross-country. Probably going to have to spend the next day running errands and going shopping before starting it all over again on Monday.
It's my birthday on Sunday but due to my previous landlord fucking me over I am very broke this paycheck so no real plans other than stay home and be with my wife.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Our weather has been all over the place, so If it cools off probably a long bike ride with my wife. It it gets hot again then hopefully planting our butts in one of the glacial runoff rivers to stay cool.
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. 😆
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!
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
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.
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.
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 built a desktop for VR, just received my Index in the mail, and have spent the last 3 days desperately trying to install Windows.
Nothing I’ve tried has worked and my computer confidence is shattered lol. I may get high and try again. Maybe my wife helps. She’s great at being calm.
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.
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.
