For a Monday it's not so bad. Had a great dental cleaning, dinner with the wife's fam, some couch cuddle time with the dog. Can't complain really!

I'm going to a nearby convention for work for most of this week. The convention itself isn't terribly interesting, but it has been nice to catch up with old friends and meet some new people.

Looking ahead, this is my first proper weekend off in over a year, so I'm looking around for a good destination for a weekend trip (something I'm told normal people do!). Any recommendations within a 4-5 hour drive from downtown Chicago?

pretty alright! finished my last exam yesterday, and will be needing to find a job for the summer between semesters, so i’ve been a bit stressed and nervous for needing to do that and just the future generally. i have one atm, but i don’t think i’ll be able to get as many hours as i’d like, and tuition isn’t going to pay itself 🙃

My week is going well.

I was planning to attend the local pride parade and festival yesterday, but didn't go due to sheer laziness lol. So I got stoned and watched YouTube with my boyfriend instead.

Speaking of my boyfriend, three of his Horror Bishoujo figurines came in the mail from Japan today (Chucky, Freddy Krueger, and Edward Scissorhands). He's excited to put them up and I'm happy for him.

I gave my boots to the local cobbler (one of two in a 30 km radius) because the sole is coming off and getting hole-y. This guy, whom I assumed would have maybe a couple repair jobs every few months, is completely overbooked and thus I'll see my boots in maybe five weeks or so again. But, honestly, I'm glad for him that his little shop is booming (relatively speaking)
