Does anyone use something other than Spotify? Looking for a new steaming app.

[โ€“] DolphinLundgrin@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes sir! Qobuz. Its all CD quality or better, and it more like a magazine with articles, rather than a brute-force algorithmic sleuce.

So I have a choice to make about this friday that I need to make today to ask for leave.

Friday's are usually a light work day 9 out 10 times.

Should I take it off this week or stick it out and just spend the day at work?

I reckon you need the day off.

I just went outside and someone was smoking a big fat smelly joint.

I miss it; made me realise why my sleep is fucked up - I haven't had medical in months now. Always tired and unrested.

I hate how expensive it is. Fuck I need a job so I can sleep again.

Uhh, you sure it's not the six hour nap? More exercise will help your sleep too. It usually only takes me a week to shake the no pot insomnia.

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Haha yes the 6 hour nap had a lot to do with it! I mean just my sleep rhythm in general. I use medical for cptsd symptoms, mainly night-terrors and subsequent insomnia. It stops me from waking up during the bad dreams/terrors, meaning I'm not avoiding sleep, and subsequently falling asleep during the day.

I do need to exercise more in general anyway, which I'm sure would help significantly!

[โ€“] dumblederp@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

Cptsd is a different story from regular no weed insomnia. Most of my friends buy off market as its still cheaper than prescribed.

Again with the conking out and waking for meds time then napping some more ๐Ÿฅฑ

This fatigue is killing me. Needing lifts to do anything.

I managed to get some ink to print forms and some gesso but no palette in stock. Hoping for enough energy to get some more things today.

I have mowed the "lawn" and even got fancy and trimmed the edges. Now my arms are all shaky.

New earbuds are great!

Still suss that they're Bluetooth, but seems fine so far, plus I can charge my phone AND listen to music at the same time

My mum and I were going to get something from the local chicken shop for dinner, but then I saw I had a $20 off Uber Eats for first time use. So we got a whole charcoal chicken for $5. A steal.

And it arrived warm and unmolested?
