I got a new job! finally out after 9 years at a call center. Things are heading in a positive direction. I hope everyone has a great week :)

Lol, can I answer this even though I don’t have a Beehaw account anymore?

It’s ok. But it’s been hot weather, like summer. I want winter and the cold to come already. I have gotten started with a programming course in C#, some tasks are difficult but it’s fun problem-solving. School is ok, my classmates are nice but unfortunately I don’t seem to have much in common with most/any of them.

All in all, things are going alright. I remade all of my Spotify playlists which has been therapeutic. Now I’m just chilling, school is draining sometimes. But life is ok. 👍

Had an exposition over the weekend and it was amazing to see all the different perspectives, and made new contacts. I'm currently secretly living in my atelier so I really need contacts to find a better living situation, so that was a relief. Also my aunt and uncle were there and they were the last people I hadn't come out to yet, because I love them but they can be very conservative at times. But well, it was kinda hard to hide considering that my new name was written on the flyers and that I was wearing my makeup. I can't express how happy and relieved I am that they are completely supportive!

Honestly, pretty miserable. A "promotion" ended up docking my partner's pay (the difference in what they were making got rolled into benefits) and now we went from being totally fine to things being tremendously tight basically overnight. It's been hard finding work on my end and I'm just incredibly stressed. I'll be alright though, I hope.

Stuck in meetings all week. Caffeine will be critically important.

Also, Zombies, Run, a magnificent app, has stopped working for most android phones, and it's a major bummer

Yesterday was my birthday!
It was a nice and easy going day spend with my family. Topped it off with going out for a nice dinner.
I enjoyed it, nothing fancy but just the way I like it :)

Starting off rough, honestly. Local citizens where I live are fucking with the public library and it’s infuriating and depressing and frustrating and I feel powerless to stop them because the majority of the people here are okay with it.

Flying out to visit my parents and brother this evening, so that's pretty good.

What's not very good is that my Mom got caught COVID for the first time last week. Then my brother says that he's tested positive, though he's not feeling anything. So yeah, I'm flying into the hot zone apparently. And as far as I know, I've never gotten COVID. That new booster that just got approved by the FDA can't come soon enough.

Either way, it'll be good to have the whole family together for about a week.

Happy birthday to me.

I got food poisoning on vacation yesterday so that fucking blows. Can only really lie down mostly and then I still feel like I got hit by a truck. Hopefully it gets better :(

Mixed bag so far. It's been hot over here and I've barely slept so feel like hell. Auditioned for a new choir this evening and got in which was nice, it's a great choir but just annoying that it's the opposite side of the city.

Seriously considering getting an ebike now that they've ended one of the escooter trials here. Hard to know where to start though, not had a bike since I was a teenager.

spent the last four days at a music festival, and my nose has been running all morning even though i was masking anytime i was indoors. 😷

i’m house sitting for the next three nights, so at least i’ll be able to get plenty of rest.

My relationships are really struggling. I’ve been focusing my time on installing and configuring Arch Linux on my desktop to take my mind off of it all.

Stuck in the middle of a drama at work I would rather not know about; leadership fired a manager for apparently personal/favoritism reasons, and now their team left behind is upset - with good reason. As a manager myself, I was pretty shocked that the decision and action was taken in this way, so I am having to deal with the fallout since the staff in that department is coming into mine to seek support they feel they no longer have... I love my own team and what I do, but am starting to really question if I want to be part of a place that treats people like this. For all I know, my own neck could be on the chopping block too and I don't know about it, any more than the manager they fired knew that was in store for them. Why are people such asshats sometimes, is beyond me.

My week just started cause I work Mon-Fri and I'm super nervous for tomorrow cause I have a project I have to do with someone I am not use to working with.

I'm gonna go get an edible after work though and hopefully I run into my crush.

Just ended, now I'm ready to enjoy my weekend. Except it's raining!

in a tragic moment one of my friends has inexplicably nuked all of their contacts with my friend group for the 3rd time in a year and a half so lol, guess i'm just not gonna talk to that person again since i do not have the patience to try and sort their shit out again

Alright here & calmer than usual, which is nice.

Might be the cooler, damper weather coming in - not that it gets hot here in the summer & we've been incredibly fortunate to avoid extreme weather so far this year, but just greatly prefer autumn & winter.

Planning to start exercising later in the week, which will feel good as currently an uncomfortable mix of feeble as jello, gnarled up with stiffness.

Excited to see how Beehaw develops next, in light of discussions initiated by recent admin posts.

I started a new full time job at a deli, big change from sitting around all day. It is a pretty chill job, everyone is super nice, but my feet/legs/back are killing me. Hopefully the new shoes I ordered arrive today and help out. I've been pretty exhausted, but I think I'll get used to it.

New depressive episode after being almost functioning 👍

I got up too early 💤

I am studying for an online degree and since past 4-5 days my laptop has been acting up. I reset my pc, but it's still behaving weird sometimes, but not so much as before. So I am feeling a bit better now. I was very stressed out because of this.

Little hectic, I moved and changed jobs and still I had to "visit" my parents sometimes to get my stuff and dealing with paperwork. But it will get better I will probably have everything done today.

One month on CPAP. I hate the thing and it hasn't improved my sleep. I made a recording using Sleep As Android and I'm still snoring a bit. I am waiting to get an appointment with the actual specialist who ordered my sleep test and prescribed CPAP- I've never met him, and am not sure I ever would have met him if I hadn't melted down a little when the ResMed drone said that my numbers are excellent and that "studies show" that most people adjust within six weeks. Well, I'm not a number, I'm a neurodivergent individual with individual needs and quoting study results at me does not help or reassure.

Cautiously optimistic. Weather is looking pleasant all week. I've managed to get my backlog at work down from about 6 months to 2, so that's a lot less stress.

Prepping for a dirt bike race next month (hare scramble) and it's been 4 years since I have; I'm super out of shape but it'll be fun.

Pretty fine. Finally beat BG3. Already planning my next run. ;)
