Two TTRPG sessions (Dungeons & Dragons in person, Call of Cthulhu online), going swimming at the public pool, working some more on my translations of German folk tales.

I'm currently rejoicing over the fact that I finally solved my issue with the computer speakers playing, along with taking a good rest from my graduation!
Going to try to get to the forge and do some blacksmithing
What am I doing? Anything but pooping. But seriously, apparently I'm going to be eating a lot of protein and minimal fiber...
It's my birthday on Sunday but due to my previous landlord fucking me over I am very broke this paycheck so no real plans other than stay home and be with my wife.

I’ve had a very tiring past 3 weeks so I’m taking it easy this weekend. So far today I’ve done my first decent calisthenics workout in a long time, and geeked around some with my Emacs org mode GTD setup.
Well, for me the weekend is the start of my (very weird) weekly work schedule so my weekend is pretty much just ending.
However, thanks to a recommendation at the Star Trek community I picked up one of the Star Trek books for my Kindle since they're on sale so I'll definitely be reading that!
Additionally, I updated my Minecraft server to 1.20.1 and nuked the world since I hadn't really progressed at all (the TL;DR of that situation is that I've been "working" on that server since 2021 - it was intended to be a new public server that my ex and I were going to create, but I just haven't had a lot of time or motivation to do so after we split up) so I'll probably be giving that a go!
I finally got a refill for an important medication I'm on, it was three weeks late and has been stressing me out so I'm relieved over that. There are plenty of other stressors going on as of lately, but that was a pretty big one.
Other than that, for better or for worse I'll just be going wherever the days take me!
There’s an art festival I’m planning to go to tomorrow. It’s horror, occult, and oddities type of stuff, so it should be fun. Then maybe hanging out with a friend visiting from out of town.
No specific plans but probably a combination of Diablo IV and System Shock :)
Three hours of community radio broadcasting from home, then maybe finish cleaning the caravan, put some washing on while the sun is hitting the solar panels, maybe a trip to bunnings to get some root killer for the sewer, and drop a dead dishwasher to the recycling place.
Nothing is planned because I was almost sure my wife would be in labor by now. So, I guess just more sitting around and waiting.
Don’t sit, walk! Good for her and helps move things along (but if you already have a kiddo you probably know that). Good luck with the baby.
Thanks! Yeah, I just meant it figuratively. We walked to the church bazaar and she's been gardening and trimming roses here and at her mom's. We have an almost 3 year old so even sedentary time is very active.
Going to a concert tomorrow night, and then reading and spending some time with my newborn. Should be a good rainy weekend.
Our weather has been all over the place, so If it cools off probably a long bike ride with my wife. It it gets hot again then hopefully planting our butts in one of the glacial runoff rivers to stay cool.
Convincing myself to get going on a TTRPG I've been wanting to write T_T. Motivation is hard.
If it helps there are some interesting papers on the idea that motivation comes from seeing the results of your own actions, and not before.
So that means you are supposed to feel this lack of motivation, and once you start writing and the feedback loop kicks in, the motivation will come on its own.
Feel free to ignore me if that doesn't help but here's a link to some more information on the idea: https://www.entrepreneur.com/living/dont-wait-for-motivation-do-this-instead/232349
Picked up FF16 so I'll be playing through that, hanging out at the [small] local coffee shop we do every Saturday and celebrating one of the patron's birthday's, and doing a final walkthrough on a house we just closed on. Exciting things!
I want FF16 so bad! Unfortunately the other day someone tried to use my bank info to buy some stuff. The bank caught it, but that means they had to cancel my debit card. So now I have to wait till my new card comes in.
@HipHoboHarold
Aw, bummer. Hopefully you can recover anything they stole and can get it sorted properly though!

going out for brunch and nails with a friend tomorrow so doing various errands today before my partner and i veg out on the couch to some edibles (for him, i’m not allowed rn bc of health stuff unfortunately) and a movie. should be nice!
Self-hosting projects! Excited to dig more into docker and portainer. Today was a database, knowledgebase, and dashboard. Tomorrow who the fuck knows but I'm psyched.
Wooorrrkkiiinngg. I work weekend shift as a warehouse supervisor. Pretty much live there for three days but then I've got four days off.
Midsummer festivals to celebrate the Solstice have all been scheduled for this weekend in my city :D very excited to go with my family
I'm going to go play DDR!
Was a an enjoyable evening on Friday or drinking with my partner and one of her friends.
Then yesterday was the Edinburgh Pride march which was a heck of a lot of fun.
Unfortunately I work on the weekends. I got Mon and Tues off. My boyfriend also works the night shift on Thur, Fri, and Sat night.
But tomorrow night I'll probably take my dog for a walk, and when I get back have a beer or two and mod my PS3. Been thinking about it for awhile. Started busting out my PS2 and was thinking about updating it since I modded it awhile ago, then realized I never got around to doing the PS3. Unfortunately I eventually need to get an external hdd for the games, so it's just gonna be the basics of modding it.
Sunday now but yesterday I went into town and saw a 4k restored version of The Wicker Man with Edward Woodward & Christopher Lee. It was a lot funnier than I remember especially the scene with Brit Ekland trying to tempt Edward Woodward in the next room!
Today will be fiddling about with my modular and maybe have a go at starting to code a tool for work
Cleaning around the house and catching up on Silo. Might tweak my Emacs config a bit.
