seconds masters going well, but socializing with new people is the real killer as opposed to classes. also its really embarrassing to have a cup of instant cereal before going to class and then your stomach growling so fucking loudly my classmates said they definitely noticed

Just took a #normal shit. Me - 1, Samuel Pepys - 0
Supposed to bring Kid 1's camp bag for next weekend to girl scouts tomorrow so it can be inspected by the troop leader but instead what I'm gonna do is say "I didn't want to" and then reassure them that I'll stop Kid 1 from bringing more Rule Following Kits than authorized.
Went for a night walk. Lovely cool air out there. Sat outside my building for a while. It was very calming.
Weekends like this make sticking around easier. Film fest, meals and conversation with good friends, a little tabletop, and finishing the night with a pipe and a bonfire.
Today is the anniversary of that time I got kicked off a United flight on the way to Worlds 2016 bc I wouldn't take off my Black Panther (comics) hat bc it made the pilot "uncomfortable" You can google it because it was the first time I went viral
I cooked today coming up with a fun phrase: "We are a rich tapestry of relationships, and I could do without that thread" Said in a convo about a person I know in irl circles who I'd be better off without. I hope the best for them, I just Don't Want To Deal With Them Anymore.
why'd they call them swords when soldiering iron was right there
every time I remember this is an actual story from my high school years I laugh myself silly. I was doing secret online romances with people who turned out to be my school rival IN 1998!!!! GOD I WAS AHEAD OF MY TIME!!!!
If I had a dollar for every time I needed a dollar, that would be convenient
Silence in a house with kids isn’t peace… it’s a warning. #memes #meme #dad #dadlife #ParentingHumor
when i have busy days off, they're stressful because i have a lot of things i want/need to do. when i have quiet days off, they're stressful because i feel like there's something i'm forgetting that i have to do. there's no winning
Despite any reputation I might have for being negative I really really don't like being upset. I enjoy being glib or being out of pocket. But when I'm upset like I've been I lose sleep, I can't escape it, I want to resolve it.
inside my apartment there are two poop fencing operations
did my planning for the upcoming week (measured from Monday to Sunday) and then promptly finished two tasks: moving the stuff that can easily be moved out of the downstairs and ordering new lights to replace old ones. now i only have three sidework tasks until next Sunday. neat.
Our high school banned these surveys because emotions, so someone did their own, and IF I RECALL I was voted most likely to be a serial killer, which is ironic since I'm the nicest guy ever and some of my classmates are III%ers.
Just ran into a guy from our walk in a subway hallway in train station. Small town, huh
I was scared of wet sand. I was 2 and I obviously dont remember why. My mom has pictures of me crying at the beach.
I have several things I want to do, but they're all based on fast moving targets. The result is that I haven't started on any of them.
they say "never trust how you feel about yourself after 9pm" and that includes thoughts like "I should get a recreation of a minicomputer from 1975"
I can only keep relationships up to 3months lmaoooo. The other lasts because i'm not really into them. Hello singlehoood lets gooooo. Relationship isn't the goal anymore, it's to be rich ✨️
she had our county office of education logo on her shirt but wo getting further she said with new appreciation for her name that she was off to research it. i hope i run into her again. small victories matter.
The best thing about working from home is sometimes, after the kids are shipped off to school, you can just get back in bed for a bit.
Me: loving my wife Oh gosh dang I'm upsetting the cis het white male comedians again
I hate prepping for trips. I'll probably get to bed about 10:30 and I need to get up at 3:45.
Just ran into an elderly neighbor, who has dementia, wandering in the dark in the pouring rain. Took her to her friend's house. So glad I happened to be out walking the dog at just the right moment. If it looks like someone need help--ask, if you can. We need to take care of each other. 😕
Anyway, two days a week, I spend 2-3 hours covered with hydraulic oil, and I'm getting college credit for it!
sometimes I get in my head about the world and I get sad, and then I have a dinner with a group of people and I remember the internet is an anger/despair amplifier and I feel better
i was wondering what bit me when i remembered dropping a heavy fork on my foot.
one last san francisco story: I overheard two guys in a bathroom stall doing cocaine while talking about salesforce
(sending photo of autumn landscape to tinder match) season of mist... And yellow fruitlessness... (sending same photo to flock of migrating swallows I'm in a group chat with) this shit sucks lol. Wish I could join you guys
Once again wishing I could get up from bed Monday morning, slip into an amazing set off fine silk robes, strap on my samurai sword and walk nimbly off to work. Like why isn't that an option? Choose avatar. Choose avatar! **pounds on keyboard**
We slept like 20 hours yesterday. Wretchedly sleepy day devoid of achievement
[maybe the university looked up my feeds when they rejected my application for a masters of education a while back... oops this is a live one, better not let them in!]
We had to have nearly $3k worth of plumping work done on my house last week. I was able to finance but we'd also been paying off the vet bills for my dog that we lost back in May & there's still $580 of that remaining to be paid off by Dec + property taxes. I might have to ask for donations again. 🥲
I tried to describe a defining facet of my personality to someone I just met, but was sharing a hotel room with this weekend, as “I was friends with a lot of guys named Kyle in high school.”
Broken tumble drier in the dorm is so fun :3
Update: my wife finally told me “that’s enough”
Yes, I could relax after renovating the apartment for like half a year and finally moving in, BUT what about building some furniture from scratch 🤪
Alright, reminder to myself, now I'm unemployed. It's because I'm moving to Australia. Not so I can argue about ghosts in Will Stancil's replies. As much as that is one of life's greater pleasures, we have got Things To Do over here.
Ah, fuck, Monday is a holiday. [reschedules the calls he planned to make]
self-confidence really is key. sometimes i worry about myself when i shouldn't but then i experience this in realtime
I'm going to bed early at the hotel. Con setup isn't until tomorrow. I'm almost 40, and long since passed are the years where I would drive all night with my ex partner, take turns sleeping on the back seat, timing our drive to align with the loading dock opening. I don't know HOW I did that?!
Well, that was an oops. I had a really busy week, something going on everyday for the last 7 days. I thought that I was keeping up with or had caught up with everywhere, but I missed this account. Sorry to anyone I was in the middle of talking with. I did not mean to just disappear like that. I am back and if I can't do a daily catch-up, I should at least be able to do an every other day catch-up so I don't fall too far behind again.
Decided to try and bring a better energy to the work situation, reckoning that while I can't control events and atmospheres, I can control my own approach and - perhaps - make an impact with some of that positive attitude. Yet: email three of the day and I already want to batter someone.
Monday morning 8:30 and I'm pretty much done with the week. And next. And the one after that.
for this spooky month i have done the scariest thing ever (change my pfp after a really really long time)
Interviewer: can you explain this gap in your resume. me: yes, that’s the store where i sold clothes
Need the brother and SIL to go home coz I want a nap. Shoo. SHOO!
All my memories from this time last year are of all my hikes 😭😭😭 I'm..managing..without a car. And I don't hike in the summer. But it's hiking season and I can't go and I'm so upset because I miss my cave trail and my waterfall trails 🥺🥺
