Happy birthday. Just to see what replaces it in NA

Damn it is pretty pushy now that you mention it

We were teenagers and I went to her house in the boonies to shoot crossbows and play NBA Jam. Sounds ideal, right? So after shooting trees for a while she asks if I want to shoot her hamster.

Maybe she was trying to be edgy or funny but I was so disturbed I made an excuse and started walking home (which was hours away). I finally managed to hitch a ride with this creepy couple into town (but that’s a whole other story - definitely did not give those two my home address).

I’m so sorry

Okay I have nothing to complain about. This is awful

Thinking about this every time I’m in the shower since the day I first read it…

Radagast the baker.

Not looking anymore because I found it, but it’s not wanting to make more kids. Adopting or step kids would have been fine, but making more while there are kids out there looking for a home would be too much for me.

It’s Friday and it’s beautiful out and I’m about to walk in the sunshine to get an apple fritter and earl grey.

What kind of Lego?

Also congrats on the recognition!

Nice work. This is a great feeling. This is the kind of stuff I love documenting in a diary - especially my feelings before or after. Because near the end of a project I can get pretty antsy and negative if I think it’s going off the rails, but then when it’s completed successfully I feel great.

That’s so great! I’m really happy for you both. My partner got a CPAP a couple years ago and it was like night and day (after an initial adjustment period (couple months)). BOTH of sleep quality went way way up.

Oh neat. So know pressure. I like it

😄 this is the “please stop perceiving me” face

Heat.

Peerless vibes.

I mean it’s super dark, but it’s so slick

My partner rewatches that as like a comfort movie. I always found it so dark and hopeless and disconcerting. It really felt like a vision of hell when I first saw it.

Although I’ve caught parts of it while she’s watching so often that I’ve become a bit desensitized, so I can appreciate it for it’s merits more. It is a great movie.

I did and it worked. That or I install an app timer/blocker thing (they all behave p much the same).

Gradually I start thinking I don’t need to restrain myself anymore and my usage creeps back up until I smack it back down.

Circle of life innit

Just become someone that doesn’t really make a big todo about their birthday. It’s so liberating.

I turned 40 not long ago and I couldn’t tell you what I did. Probably bought myself a box of doughnuts.

It’s also okay to be weird about your birthday. Lots of people are. Just do whatever feels right.

I just don’t have time to invest in learning a new operating system.

That’s fair. I got turned on to Linux in college so this is how I feel when confronted with Windows or Mac devices. I just get so frustrated every time I try, and it doesn’t seem like the end result is worth it if I can just stick with what works and not have to worry about some random update radically and inexorably altering how my computer works.
