tldr of my life.
Once in a while I get motivated to feel "enough is enough", and decide to work on important stuff.
Lately this hasn't happened. It's like a lack the energy to do anything useful.
Yep. Wanted to get groceries yesterday to avoid the next heat wave, but couldn't be arsed to get ready. Now I have to kinda go tomorrow since I definitely do not go on a Saturday, but we're having basically 30 degrees for the next few days...
30 degrees isn't too bad. I wish to be warmer here.
Maybe from within an air conditioned car. Anything past 19 degrees is horrid when you have to haul ~15+ Kg of groceries up the street, or when your main room faces south side.
I used to live in a city where 8 months of the year is around 30 degrees. No car. I would have multiple shopping trips instead of hauling big ones.
Might as well kill me in that case. 19+ is sweat territory already.
Leave stopping the procrastination for later. [/shitty joke]
Serious now. Often my solution is to create a "todo" list, and organise it by priority. Knowing which are the most pressing matters makes at least me less willing to procrastinate them.
Well, pretty sure I have covid, so that's fun. Spent all of yesterday under 4 blankets watching ds9 all day
Biden is using Lemmy now?
Decent, got a new couch, so I'll be breaking that in.
I'm lucky.
Ferry from Kangaroo Island, overnight in Mildura, then Hay, then Parkes, then Coonabarrabran, finally home in Armidale. Flat out back at work the next day but all is well. Was visiting family. And yeah I could do the drive in three days instead of five, but then it's kinda stressful and tiring.
Now back to work for many months until the next visit.
Now that's a road trip!
I couldn't commute due to rainstorms so bingewatching series
Do you have any recommendations?
Space: 1999 - A moonbase crew fights for survival in the aftermath of a massive explosion that shifts the moon from its orbit into space.
"Massive" still reads like an understatement, considering the consequences. Definitely an interesting premise!
My week is actually really good!
Perhaps I've spent more time working on Canvas than it would be wise to. I got a pile of delayed work to struggle with, and I'm lightly reforming my house so it's looking like a mess. My cat's PTSD [serious] and my messy biological clock don't help either.
But even then... I'm happy? Like someone who woke up after sleeping comfortably, and now stretches their muscles. Reworking on some old personal projects alongside the work, and cracking out shitty jokes. I also got a huge bottle of wine with my name on it, that I'm chugging on. Seeing the improvements in my place is also filling me with genuine joy, and makes the mess well worth it.
My kitchen faucet broke, my dishwasher broke, my car needs new front and rear brake pads, my dog needed a vet visit for a minor injury, and I found out yesterday that I might be getting a puppy unexpectedly soon.
So I guess I'm going to go with "expensive".
Like a boulder downhill that's never gonna stop

I wouldn't say good, due to some health issues. But it's not too serious, and I'm getting there, so I'm functioning enough to start getting off the prescription drugs.
Starting to stress that summer break ends in 12 days and i haven't accomplished enough. On vacation this week, having fun, and trying not to think about it.
Got a flat tire, ran out of my prescription due to an issue at the pharmacy, had to deal with a blocked AC drain line that was spilling over into the utility closet, and I burned my hand making dinner last night, so...doing great.
I am empty in my heart but full of tapioca
Healthwise it's going better than last week. My cold is getting better, I forced myself to exercise and I willingly played music for the first in weeks.
