I was off work, so a lot of things made me happy!
- Called up and visited an old friend
- Called up and visited an old friend #2
- Completed a 55km bike ride
- Tried two new recipes that I cooked with an online friend on call
- Read a whole book
- Found a new café in town that seems nice
- Had nice conversations with at least 4 strangers who I approached
- Borrowed one of these electric scooters and did laps around the empty parking lots on Sunday evening
That sounds like an awesome week!
Nothing. Everything just keeps getting worse. Leukemia. Pancreatitis. No contact with abusive family. Relationship with abusive partner falling apart. Will probably end up homeless. Certainly feels like nobody gives a fuck I have problems or exist.
USA is killing me, sorry I’m not happy about it. I know I’m not special, I’m just one more broken loser.
Edit: why is my whiney bullshit upvoted. Just let me die.
There’s medical tourism so that you can receive comparable care overseas for much cheaper than in the states, and any job you can get online, even at a pay cut, will make your living expenses cheaper in a lot of other countries than continuing to live in the USA where you get zero benefits.
The USA offers so few benefits to its citizens, especially those more vulnerable, that it makes sense to try your luck elsewhere.
At least you have your health. /s
I hope you get an upswing soon. You deserve some wins, and you definitely deserve better relationships.
Homemade ice cream, or rather finding a homemade ice cream shop that is crazy good and going every single day to the point that I’m starting to worry about how much sugar I’m in taking.
Also, it’s still crazy rainy over here and I love rainstorms and there’s one going on right now.
And I started playing borderlands one finally and it’s pretty fun.
I got new glasses, and realized I have way more benefits coverage than I did thanks to my union contract update, so I can get two pairs, yay.
Despite a lot of schedule fuckery and stresses, I managed to attend my main hobby. A lot of my growth has been in regulating my response to stress.
What’s the hobby?
Judo. I just enjoy getting thrown a whole lot.
Nice! I did jiu jitsu for a little while but dropped it during the initial pandemic lockdown. How long have you been practicing?
I’ve been doing judo since January 2023. I’ve only gone to one tournament, so I’m going to work on that over the next year. My classmates are usually responsible about staying out when they start getting sick, but we had a big get together a couple months ago that left everybody ill.
🤝 Best sport
I saw some friends that I haven’t seen in person in a while :)
We had a lovely BBQ with friends over the weekend. Enjoyed the summer weather.
I was crewing on a new-to-me sailboat Saturday with a bunch of passengers that have never sailed before. There was an issue (jammed furling line) that required me to jump up onto the foredeck to fix, and everyone congratulated me on my quick reaction and calmness under pressure. I aw shucks’d the compliments, while hiding my righthand behind my back so no one would freak about the square inch of skin hanging off my index finger where the furling line bit into it.
Are you healing well? I would’ve lost all the badass points when I started complaining.
Doing good, yeah. Thanks for asking. I was dumb and cut the flap of skin off instead of laying it back over the wound and hoping it’d reattached, but I put a little petroleum jelly and guaze over it for a couple days and now it’s just a bright pink fleshy bit.
