Epsom salts! …j/k :p

Sometimes being lonely hits like a truck. But it passes like grief that’s a few years old. Everything else is okayish. Have overcome the major life hurdles. Can’t complain.

Oh, my grown up son does this. :)

1. Wheel of time for the powers and multiple bonded bodyguards

2. Lotr cause wizards and hobbits etc

3. Stardew valley because I just wanna be all powerful and become a farmer anyway

They are out in force on sundays, driving ten under, causing traffic snakes, blocking both lanes, swerving into the bike and opposing lanes. Merging onto highways so slowly that oncoming traffic has to break unexpectedly. So much fun.

And that was back when people were not nutters and would accept a vaccine.

Not hugely. I worry about things like bird flu. Watched a lot of people lose loved ones to OG Covid before the vaccine. I also worry about being able to get proper vaccinations for flu in the coming years.

They are fun little trucks to drive. I had one a long time ago for work.

Honestly, the games I’ve enjoyed and played the most have cost around $20 or less. BOTW and TOTK being notable exceptions. But the hours of enjoyment from those is also really high. One game card, three players, hundreds of hours. But AAA? Not for me. Same with subscription MMO. I used to love wow, but now it’s just a pretty set of chores that I don’t wanna pay for every month when I could buy another game cheaper.

Not sure how many people can afford fuel over $5. I know I’m already cutting out most of my extra curriculars to offset it on my budget.

It’s punching up.

Had to develop some strategies for this:

“What is your second choice. And if neither is available?” Worked wonders tbh.

Once you get there…I reckon this is just personal experience… but I will say the negativity is a lot less intense. Change what you can. When you achieve your dreams that becomes so much easier because you have the energy. There is a lot of peace in that.

On off days, and evenings I like to spend time mostly at home. Reading, catching up on tv, video games. I do like the library.

I will have a slightly annoying headache if I don’t have coffee for a day or so. But I won’t drink tea for caffeine or those sugar beverages, so if I don’t have coffee I’ll accept the headaches. Because I like the taste/smell.

Personally I don’t force myself. When I go to the library I walk out with a stack of books. I don’t always get through all of them, because if the content doesn’t draw me in (characters, writing, whatever) I put it down and try a different one.

No kidding. Long ago during my Imgur days, I got 700+. I figure that was my 15 minutes of fame or something.

I wish I could say this wasn’t my exact experience.
Tack on the lack of any romantic overtures and it’s pretty much how it went though.

Become a paid online troll I guess. I have a background in manipulation. And if they get so far as my field, we are truly in the bad place.

So…maybe a little. Like, if they listen to octanecore or country, I will not have a good time with them controlling the car stereo. Same with tv. Tbh I do think similar tastes are somewhat important?
