Snowboard Bay-Be! Ice coast sucks, but snowboard rules! Hopefully we get some snow soon to get into the back country.
Lots of new trolls but they are quickly banned.
People are insulting sometimes but it's more about them than us. That's how they think they should behave I guess. Rebelling as a keyboard warrior and all. :)
I had a great weak. Started leasing a new car on Monday and have been enjoying it a lot. Work is going good. Soon warmer weather too. Things are looking nice.
On Saturday, I'll be attending a retirement dinner for my mom. It'll be the first time she'll get to try authentic Indian food. Then on Sunday I'd like to get my metal detector out with my new coil that I got for Christmas. Hopefully the ground won't be too frozen.
I've been looking forward to Persona 3 Reload on PS5 so I blocked off the whole weekend to play it.
Ravendawn grind of course.
If you are easily obsessed, do not check it out.

Gonna go to a friend's birthday party. He's turning 18 and I'll give him a "best mother ever" shirt.

Last week I was on vacation (went to Disney World) so this weekend I'm gonna take it easy. Do some chores, order a pizza, play video games. Nothing particularly exciting, but I'm okay with that.
I'm going to worry about missing a phone call from my probation officer this week.
Oh, positive?

I'm on call at work so I can't drink or smoke, my boyfriend is out of town, and the weather is nice. It's the perfect combination to take the pup on a long hike. We went on a short hike yesterday and he slept SO HARD afterwards, so I hope he's up to something a bit more intense tomorrow. Worst case scenario I can carry him.

It's not off to a great start. Yesterday was a funeral and today was a birthday party cancelled by Covid. I might just chill at home and wait for a break in the rain long enough to mow my lawn.

There will always be negativity unfortunately. I've come to realize that engaging in it is a waste of one's time and doesn't help resolve whatever issue the person on the other side may be going through. I try to diffuse situations, but I can't always spend all my time doing that.
As for weekend plans, not much really. Gonna head to the gym after work and complete my assignment. Same for tomorrow. Maybe start a new video game from my backlog after playing some Muse Dash. I always crave a good platformer.
It's something that's important in personal relationships I think, but the context and human tends to get lost over the internet.
If a friend's drowning in negativity, one can be present in some ways, but that can't be fixed by anyone else nor would that even really make sense. They could be in a bad situation, in which case maybe there's ways to directly help, but oftentimes it's something only they can work through and we also have to maintain some distance and boundaries and recognize we won't fix how they feel nor should we try to. And sometimes people just need to vent negativity and shout into the void or break down to a friend.
On the internet, we fire off walls of text under the presumption people will just read it and get it and fuck off and go change their whole worldview. It takes time and the ephemeral nature of communication on the Internet means we'll never be around for the context or resolution of someone's difficulties. (nor will they for our own.) So, even more than irl, we have to set boundaries on how invested we're willing to get. It's a constant frustration for me though.
ps muse dash looks cute as hell, have fun!!
There will always be negativity unfortunately. I’ve come to realize that engaging in it is a waste of one’s time and doesn’t help resolve whatever issue the person on the other side may be going through. I try to diffuse situations, but I can’t always spend all my time doing that.
Indeed, that's the most reasonable approach. I was a bit down because I had put a lot of energy into a community, but the mod didn't really seem to opening discussions with the members. I ended leaving, but that left a bitter taste
I’m racing tiny cars bro!
I help run an RC racing club. In the summer we do parking lot 1/10 scale in road, and in the winter we do 1/28 scale (Mini Z) indoor onroad. It’s a fuckin blast.

This is an update
Before, I replies that I was cautiously pessimistic.
Now, I am cautiously optimistic.
Doing my first in-person CrossFit competition. It's a friendly meet and it's more for bragging rights than actual prizes.
I am nervous and excited in equal amounts.
Though I'm not in the hardcore "RX" division (I'm doing the dialed back "Scaled" division), I think it's still going to be hard and an immense amount of fun with some new cool people.
Video games and cleaning my house out in preparation to move
Planning on some much needed yard work and taking my little one on a playdate with her classmates.
After some grocery shopping looking forward to making some hot soup since it's been raining a lot here.
