Part of my 2025 mental and physical health plan has been building and landscaping my little slice of land to go from an unfenced hillside of lawn to a walled and terraced garden.

Removed the sod and got a dumptruck load of granite stones at the start of the year. I am building using a dry stone technique and moving it all by hand on purpose. Currently finishing the main terraces and wall base, beginning raised garden beds now. Every day I move a couple stones into place and it feels like an accomplishment that is quite literally building on itself.

I look forward to seeing how it (continues to) come together.

I did a similar project a few years ago with stones, old logs and repurposed rebar. It was sooo rewarding, especially after the plants matured.

Hopefully, i get my drivers license! Exam is on June 23th.

I'm 43, always been taking care of my parents. Getting my drivers license is the first thing i do "on my own" so im pretty excited! Then i'll spend the next 6 months enjoying not having to go through public transportation :)

Trump has a stroke and tells stories about his pp and republicans still pretend all is honky dory.

[โ€“] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I hope Trump does a reverse Fetterman: has a stroke and becomes a kind person.

Can you imagine the absolute mind fuck that would be for MAGA people? LOL

[โ€“] Almacca@aussie.zone 3 points 10 months ago

I'm not convinced he hasn't had a few already.

i'll get a cash bonus once the probationary period is up at my new job, which i can use to knock like 10% off of the cost of my mortgage.

a friend of mine is getting bottom surgery and i'm looking forward to it for them, it's nice that people around me are happy.

also, dunno if it's something to look forward to exactly but if it turns out i do have hypertension and i can get on exforge i may not only be rid of my chronic headaches but also figure out if i actually have adhd, since amlodipine apparently lessens the symptoms. it would be nice to be able to do things.

Graduating highschool (hopefully)

[โ€“] AdamEatsAss@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

You can do it!

[โ€“] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nothing, absolutely nothing. Life is very hopeless for me right now.

[โ€“] 65gmexl3@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

hey stranger, hoping things will be better for you soon

CT scans every 4 months... probably gonna get another nodule in my left lung nuked at some point. Hoping maybe the distended aorta that showed in my last scan takes me out quick so I can bypass all the misery of my advancing emphysema or the lung cancer possibly spreading. Aside from that, I'm just going to enjoy my family. Got three grandkids that are a real hoot right now. Counting my blessings is pretty much the priority...

[โ€“] johannes@lemmy.jhjacobs.nl 5 points 10 months ago

Thats so sad to read :(

I wish you all the best! Hopefully things get better!

I'm going to get my commercial drone license and start doing freelance work to supplement my main job that doesn't pay too well. Very excited.

[โ€“] sbv@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I'm hoping to move back to the town where my friends and family live. I've been in my current place for a few years, and it's fine, but I feel like my life is on hold.

I'm kind of looking forward to my kids getting a little more mature. Parenting lil kids is not what I'm cut out for. But it's bittersweet - that gets them closer to moving out and starting their lives without me.

I'm just hoping to get through the next 6 months, and then the next 3 years, without the government harassing me or my family.

[โ€“] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 5 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Finish paying childcare for my toddler. I'll be 700 quid a month better off. Yeeha.

Does it count if it's a hope and not a fact? If so, then I'll be looking forward to changing jobs. If I'm changing to another customer service job then I want something less fast paced, hopefully selling something I actually care about. But, ideally I'd love to get a job in the vfx industry again. I've been looking for years.

If it's a fact only, well, my birthday I guess? Which I'm also simultaneously not looking forward to.

[โ€“] sbv@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

Good luck on the job hunt. I hope you manage to find something in vfx.

Quitting my job for the end the year, a job that is making depressed and tired.

Opening my own business with blackjack and hookers (for real tho, opening a shop in my city).

[โ€“] reagansrottencorpse@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

Maybe a new game or something to drown out all the alarm bells going off constantly in my brain.

[โ€“] _TheLoneDeveloper_@sopuli.xyz 4 points 10 months ago

To get to the gym, have a healthy diet and move across Europe.

In about 6 months the weather should be better. That'd be nice

[โ€“] lordnikon@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Going to England, Still deciding if im going to stay there for good.

[โ€“] DNOS@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well since I just discovered a close friend In a couple of weeks is already going out with the girl I liked for 2 years ...( Yes he knew) and since I have so much time to my disposal while watching an empty residential pool at the young age of 23, I'm planning to feel like shit for the next 6 months :)

[โ€“] bran_buckler@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That sucks about your friend. Did you ever ask that girl out on a date or anything? Two years is a long time, I hope you had made a move at some point.

[โ€“] DNOS@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

Yeh kinda I think she was not interested but never said it straight like that ... Always busy and stuff like that... I was seeing her at work so some chat here and there nothing too deep ...

[โ€“] vantablack@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago
