currently getting over the lingering after-effects of a sinus infection, which was not an enjoyable way to spend last week
I’m happy! Anybody else want some?
I’d like a good dollop of happiness, please and thank you.
Here you go, savor it!
My SO came out to their conservative family, and it went well :D
I’m also finally feeling confident in my SQL training!

Just got down from the roof after removing my remaining solar panels to swap out washers that turned out to be too small to actually hold them to the Z brackets at highway speed. Lost three of 12 at some point last week. Eight are now back up, and the three replacements arrive tomorrow. Hopefully solar will be live and my belongings out of the warehouse I used to work at by the end of the week. Glacial progress with regressions seems to be November’s theme.
I just scheduled my first ever date with a girl for Friday at 1pm! I am super damn excitied and also super damn anxious at the same time. Never done anything like dating before, so this is all new to me. Thankfully the girl I’m meeting is kind and fun so we should have a good time, I legit can’t remember the last time I felt this happy.
EDIT: We’re actually meeting up tomorrow!!! Grabbing a few drinks at a pub after she has an appointment in my area, lucky.
Tiring… Haven’t been sleeping well and been really busy at a job where my interest in dwindling. Being busy normally helps with the dread which is good, but I’m still just so damn tired.
Was supposed to get my shoe inserts today, which I’d then be supposed to use instead of crutches. They didn’t arrive. No deliveries on Saturday, so still crutches until Monday. Yay.
It’s been not too bad of a week. I work outside and unfortunately, it’s been very cold the first part of the week but temps are warming. It’s going to rain all day. Fun, fun.
Listened to Anna Karenina last week, finally finished it after like two weeks. Quite a journey and quite a roster out characters that I got to know. It’s such a huge book that I don’t know how to begin talking about it.
Started Fathers and Sons now

Was okay. Brain said “lol, fuck you” and it got progressively shit.
But at least I’ve found some decent distractions, so that’s something.
Pretty terrible. After a year I finally got a job, but it’s probably one of the worst possible jobs for someone like me who has ASD and other issues… Call center for military benefits. But I have to do it.
Severely disappointed after spending so much time learning web development, and it was for nothing it seems. On the bright side, my training was paid for…
One of the cats spent the weekend going back and forth from the vets, having become very sick very quickly, and treating the symptoms hasn’t worked. Although she was a bit more alert this morning, I wasn’t completely happy with how little she was eating and drinking, so after attending a lecture at university that I really couldn’t miss, I left my group project teammates to their own devices for the afternoon and came home to look after her. Ended up taking the cat back to the vets to be admitted for 24 hours of intensive care and an ultrasound. Group project is probably on fire as I type. Finding it hard to care.
It’s so stressful when we don’t know what’s going on with our furry friends! I hope the vet finds an easy fix and your kitty is back to normal soon.
Had to have surgical intervention a few weeks ago and am getting mild pangs of renal colic pain on the other side. I’m drinking tons of water and crossing my fingers hard that these stones don’t require intervention 🤞
Other than that life feels like a mess right now and I’m trying to be more intentional about addressing things this week.
Anyone have good advice for making friends in one’s thirties? Online or IRL?

Assuming you’re cool with meeting up with strangers in person, meetup.com was a good way to find people of like minded hobbies (like board games). You’ll get a wide range of folks depending on the group itself but it can be helpful if you’re trying to “refill” your own social needs at least in the beginning and hopefully make some friends as a result. Helped me out of a rut when I found myself alone with no friends far from home!
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Last weekend I built a new PC which I collected parts over 6 months when I could afford them, and today I replaced all my burnt out light bulbs! My room is a lot brighter now!
Found out I didn’t get COVID from the boss last week… But sore from too not enough gym I think.
But kind of annoyed… Need to work out how to tell my housemate that if his girlfriend is Staying with us half the week, Has the door code and is here at times he’s not, its it’s fair for her to start paying some bills…
Especially considering he’s seemingly complaining about my new housemate needing to buy paper towels and such or “its not fair” (despite the fact we have solar, and he leaves his computer and fan and such on all night, even if he’s not even there). Also, when the other housemate accidentally broke his blender, he’s demanding payment, but when his dog chewed up and damaged my stuff, he just hid the damage…
He also once gave me a spiel that he was sick of people getting help from other people, and “some people were just here because they need somewhere to stay”. So doesn’t even feel like I should be giving him any length of string…
