Aside from working overnight, I'm putting together furniture in my new apartment, looking for more decor, figuring out how to lay everything out... just chipping away until everything is the way I want it. Got some things to fix/replace as well.

Good. Got my first piercings and started a project to convert a bakfiets to an ebike with a Bafang mid-drive motor.

Not a bad week so far! My dad had a pretty big surgery last week but was able to go home on Tuesday, which was a relief to all of us. Otherwise enjoying the teacher life still on Summer vacation, finished playing Life is Strange and still jamming on Diablo IV.

My problems pale in comparison to what it sounds like you're going through. I'm just swamped with work stuff

my budget is finally back on track. i've owed my partner money for awhile (new to us house repairs and such), and i finally had enough of a cushion to pay him back + have enough for the rest of the month, including our first property tax bill. feels good, man.

Less hot. I had an interview today.

Been super busy this past month, finally done with my backlog and have time to enjoy myself again.

I hope your week gets better 🫂. Mine's going alright so far. Bought my girlfriends monster hunter this morning so excited to try that out! Tried a new edible and got uh oh high last night and I'm still walking that off lol. My works making me upgrade laptops so I have to 'pleasure' of setting up a new mac that full of mdm nonsense

Sorry to hear you're having a rough time!

My week's been good. Finally started my four week vacation time. Feels so good, though we don't seem to be getting any of that heat that the rest of the world is suffering under. It's been somewhat chilly and absolutely pouring outside almost 24/7 for a while now.

Wish it could be at least dry and somewhat warm. Still so nice to be off work though!

seeing a concert tonight, which i’m very excited about!

Finished up a refreshingly boring week at work and this Sunday I will be traveling to Manhattan for employee training! I visited Manhattan last month and did all the classic NYC tourist stuff but I feel I missed out on the food side of NYC; the recommendations I got at the time were subpar. If anyone has tips for worthwhile food spots to check out nearish to Moynihan/Penn Station, lemme know!

I've been in a very dark place, mentally. I tried posting about it on a mental health community, and I attracted downvotes and trolls, so not good (some helpful people too, but not worth it imo)

I need to find a therapist, but I haven't had much luck in the past (had one who went on an unprovoked rant about how there's a MLK Day but no White People Day, and another who was obsessed with being so vocally anti-cannabis that I felt I couldn't be honest)

I'm thinking about staying with my parents for a while, but I can't afford to take time off work to go
