It's been a weird couple weeks for me. I was working six days a week for the last three months and now they've been giving me these random middle of the week days off so my sleep schedule is just wrecked lol back to work for today and tomorrow now but it's been pretty slow here so I mainly just browse beehaw and mastodon all day. Luckily I get hourly + commission so if I see one or two customers today I'll be happy. It's been a pretty chill week I guess. 😌 Sorta depressing that my life is all about work lately though

Back in April, I took a reading challenge that I had found online to read for at least thirty minutes per day, because I really should read more often. I failed about twenty days in, doing the bare minimum. What have I become?
Sorry, this particular instance has me prone to double posting for some reason.
On the one hand I’ve gotten a lot of reading time and have been enjoying my current book (Children of Time) much more than the last book I tried (The Dark Forest [yeah, I know it’s a modern classic of the genre, I just really didn’t like the translation]). On the other, I was with my wife all day in the ER because she developed a kidney infection. Everyone’s fine now though so… pretty mixed so far?
decent so far, spent all of yesterday with family. hope everyone else is having a good week too. good luck on the book goal @alyaza@beehaw.org & make sure to get some more rest!
Pretty good. Last full week of summer break so I'm just wrapping up house projects and preparing some teaching materials for next year.
Been having a long week myself. I could hardly sleep the last two days and work has been insanely busy. I've been spending my weekends doing a second job to try and get out of debt and get experience in a field I want to enter. I am so tired and desperately need a day off, but I feel like if I do, I'll just be depressed all day. Good luck with your reading! I've been reading City of Brass and loving it, hope to get that finished in the next week or so.
I'm in the process of selling my current car to my sibling so I can get something more fuel efficient with a hatchback. Have my eye on something specific and hopefully nobody snags it up before saturday!
the greatest man in my whole life finally returned and i’ve been walking on rainbows and basking in pure sunshine. He’s my greatest LGBTQ+ ally and i feel more myself than ever. i feel like i can tackle the whole world one tiny step a a time…
my running routine has been regular again, i’m eating healthy and clean with very little cravings, and getting some eerie short story collections under my belt: Thomas Ligotti’s Teatro Grottesco and Nathan Ballingrud’s North American Lake Monsters.
it feels like the clouds have finally parted and everything everyday is just suffused with an extra encouraging glow…

Pretty good. Did some great grilling last night while watching baseball (Dodgers lost, dammit), and today we finally get a break from some very hot weather.
