As for me, todayβs the day Iβm leaving my job. In about 4 hours, Iβll be done. Then, with a 4-day Pongal holiday ahead, Iβm devoting all that time to one of my dream projects. Once the break is over, Iβll start looking for a new job. Feeling excited and ready for whatβs next!
When I got really fucking high and played video games.
cant wait to do this
What a wholesome thread, people around the world sharing what makes them happy, I could relate to it all. Makes you see that we are all basically the same
I opened up my PC to find a 8TB SSD I forgot to plug in somehow...
Was dreading getting more storage for my jellyfin server, but now I don't need to xd
I've been doing a daily music idea creation challenge, and I was pretty happy with how today's turned out!
Got a couple of 50ft, high-speed Ethernet cables delivered today. Spent the whole afternoon moving boxes and furniture so I could hide them from view.
I've been getting rid of stuff and moving towards minimalism. Today I made a lot of progress, and it really shows, it feels more peaceful and quiet in my bedroom. Also, the dog is sleeping next to me. It happens every night, and every night it brings me a little joy. π
I had overseas relatives visit over the weekend. It was nice to have the house feel actually lived in and less quiet.
Ate cake for breakfast.
Watching my cats fly halfway across the room in pursuit of their toys and then having them lay down by my side asking for cuddles. Adopting them a few weeks ago has given my life so much meaning and joy.
Favourite part is always reading in a hot bath in silence at the end of the night.
Seeing my puppy dog run around with his toy like he has no cares in the world.
No lack of content for my usage needs. I mean I would love for all the neat little niche things to be here.
Coffee
Walked home through the snow today, it was really beautiful.
Discovering that I can, with measure, work a half day this morning without paying too dearly for it.
Recovery is slow, I was afraid I wouldn't achieve it.
Got covid and flu shots Saturday and that took me out all weekend. Today I felt good enough to distribute the new moss around my turtle enclosure. According to their new meters, it's 85f and 95% humidity which is just where they want go be. I've been watching them tromp around and bask.
Going for a hike with my partner and dog.
I was much happier before I woke up.
Made a rainbow marble cake and it turned out really well!
Waiting to board a plane and then I'm going to nap so hard. I should get some jet engine wash tracks for sleeping normally at home. I am usually asleep before the plane takes off.
a white noise app will do the same thing. brownian noise to me is basically the same as being on a plane
Just noticed my orchids are spiking this morning! Itβs one of my markers that the days are indeed moving and that spring is inching closer.
Listening to a podcast while raining outside
When my babies napped on my belly, I would fall asleep immediately. Got one hand on their back that wouldn't move, and zzzzzzz
Eating some bread and drinking a ramune.
So right now. :)
Hasn't happened yet. I think my favourite part of any day is when I get into bed to go to sleep, and I drift off. It's so peaceful.
Second to that, that first cup of coffee. And my breakfast which is scrambled eggs with garlic and some other protein (I mean besides the eggs, not that garlic is protein) mixed in. Usually it's turkey sausage. Sometimes it includes cheese. Generally whatever I have in the fridge.
As far as keeping Lemmy going... I see a lot of people making posts, and reposting them to more communities or instances. That's fine, I guess, cast a wide net, but I think generating conversations is more important. So, thank you for that.
I had a bit of a rough time with my first civ pro reading, but the professor was amazing. Like I had a moment where I reflected in amazement that the horrible reading and awesome lecture covered the same material.
I walked down to the beach in south east ireland. it was really centering and calm
