welcome to the weekly how's your week going thread

this thread is a pretty straightforward and relaxed one for giving updates on how your week is going and chat like that. nothing special


on my front: last week was total chaos, so hoping for things to calm down this week because it is completely fucking up my groove; unfortunately reddit is not making that easy. this is also not ideally timed for my emotional state. anyways, read book 20 for the year (America City by Chris Beckett). on book 21. maybe i'll marathon through a bunch of these in between keeping the site from being on fire

Adding that to my TBR. I got back into reading 2 years ago, it's helped my mental health so much by replacing social media. Hope your week calms down\(^-^ )

Woke up at 3am and couldn't fall back asleep, but it's a freaking GOOD day, got some caffeine, not a lot of meetings at work today, and the Lemmy community grows, I'm loving it here

After a couple of months doing photosynthesis, my ADHD medication finally decided to allow me to study this morning. But no more than 90 minutes. Now I'm again in my endless scrolling and doing nothing productive.

Besides that, I'm trying to be more active in kbin.social / lemmy instances to create more content through comments or post and engage, knowing the inevitable doom from Reddit (although I have an user on sopuli since last year).

I'm doing pretty great. Spent all weekend volunteering at pride events and meeting lots of amazing people. Been having fun hanging around beehaw too so that's been a positive as well 😊

So far Beehaw seems like a chill place to chat, I’m interested to see how things go in the next few weeks!

I've had better weeks. One of my guinea pigs who has been sick for a while got sick enough that she had to be put down, with the added bonus that this became obvious about 15 minutes before I had to go meet my new landlord to pick up the keys to my new apartment. On the plus side, moving into the new apartment has been easy, I thought I would need to do a lot of back and forth to move stuff before the movers come to take the big things, but seems like that's mostly done. Also, my other guinea pig is doing well despite the loss of her friend, so that is good also.

I'm really sorry about your guinea pig. It's always tough losing a pet.

It's going pretty good because I think I'm finally making some progress towards being more focused. Although I need to confess that was pretty thrilled with the onboarding on lemmy and checked it a lot during the weekend.

Apart from that I'm cutting ties with general stuff and news and focusing on: books (reading The Stranger right now), one single magazine about current issues in the world, hearing good music and starting to play an old RPG after great advice I received on c/gaming. I'll workout after work and then start a campaign.

Oooh the stranger, I love that book! I remember how baffled I was when my father gave it to me when I was younger, it was unlinke anything I'd ever read, but definitely had an impact on me

Think I'll have to share in calling this week total chaos as the last few days I've been moving across the country to pursue an internship at NASA. It'll be my first week at work there so here's hoping it goes well. I also have a class I'm currently taking with an exam tomorrow. Very stressful indeed.

Omg that's so fucking cool, congrats and hope you it goes dope !

[–] LimitedBrain@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks! Going well so far!
