It’s summer here, and El Niño is coming, so I’m in a constant state of climate induced despair and panic. It’s my big trigger. I see one bad news story and my brain runs down all the possible avenues about how we are all going to die and how my son’s life is going to be terrible and I’m horrible for having brought him into this world and everything is falling apart and it all sucks now.
But I just started playing destiny 2, so that’s fun.
just finishing up studying for my final exam on monday, been having particular trouble with this one- something about calculus is just reeaaaaally boring for me, it’s been a struggle to stay focused.
Mine is a rollercoaster of emotions that will hopefully settle soon. And very muggy weather that is leading to some very poor sleep.
However on the positive side if things I am enjoying my first ever rewatch since the original airing of The X-Files and reading The Shadow of the Gods by John Gwyne and it's really bloody good.
It's been going pretty good :) I'm finally off from work and it’s my super Friday! Don't have to go back to the office for a week 🎉🙌🎊
My week has been kinda sucky, thanks
I haven't been sleeping well lately, so my productivity has taken a hit. I tend to go through waves of insomnia somewhat regularly. Otherwise, my week has been good.
Could be better. Apartment management sent my lease renewal my way and it’s $200 more expensive. This is the third year in a row that I’ll have had an increase like that.
I can’t afford the new rent, but I can’t afford to move, either.
relatable experience; this is the situation my family is basically stuck in where the rent is borderline unaffordable for us but anywhere else would be worse so we just have to hope for the best. hopefully one day it'll be better for everyone, and nobody will have to worry like this about whether they can be housed
I've been doing a lot of software interview prep, so much that I haven't done any "real" programming in a minute, which I miss. I don't really have any ongoing side projects at the moment so I've just been coming up with ideas and seeing how far I can scope them out before running into a wall. So far it's been mostly walls.
I've also been working towards getting myself medical coverage so I can get officially diagnosed with ADHD (or whatever I've got going on) and hopefully get on some medication. I've just been really feeling the struggle these days and I know I can't put off learning how to live with the way my brain works any longer, especially through the bleak slog that is the job hunt in 2023.
