Just this morning, took my time poopin a poop
My bröther in beans, you're gonna give yourself a hemorrhoid if you sit on the bowl too long.
I appreciate the PSA. I might add:
To avoid developing hemorrhoids while seated, minimize pressure on the anorectal vasculature by limiting toilet time to less than 5-10 minutes and avoiding straining with defecation. Prolonged sitting increases intra-abdominal and rectal venous pressure, leading to vessel engorgement and possible displacement of the anal cushions. Additionally, adopting a supported-squat posture (knees elevated above hips with a footstool) can straighten the anorectal angle, reducing the physiological "kink" created by the puborectalis muscle and facilitating easier, less strained evacuation.
To put it in layman's terms. And totally not AI.
I bought a bambino plus espresso machine with a vs3 grinder!
Will be fun to get real coffee at home.
That’s amazing. I’m on my own espresso journey. Even knowing all the theory going in, consistent execution can be elusive.
Good luck to you and cheers to great coffee at home.
New shower head. Can’t wait for it to show up.
Bought some lavender bubble bath and had a 2 hour hot bath with a book and relaxing music.
I preordered the new Katamari game that's coming out next week. I'm very excited!
£10 ear buds, my 10yr old ones kind of still work but don't disconnect when they go back in the charger so are frustrating as hell. Worth it
Canceling going to a birthday party.
Canceling going grocery shopping.
I bought a 12€ Smartwatch recently. (Crazy what you can get for very little money.)
A new eyeshadow palette, highlighter, and two lip products. Here's a photo from the brand's promotional materials because I haven't received the shipment yet:
uuuh, shiny
Comic-Con. Had a blast.
I got my nails done. I’ve only had fake nails once, but I went to a wedding and I wanted to look nice. I got gel nails in dark blue with a cat eye finish. The ladies at the salon were super helpful and picked out a good color that matched my dress. It was awesome, but I don’t regularly pay $85+ for something that only lasts 2 weeks. I’ll get them removed in a week and get a basic manicure to help my nails recover.
They do look pretty fabulous though 💅
My girlfriend and I had a weekend vacation based on food, wine, weed, walking in the woods and a night at the observatory for a guided stargaze. Wasn't cheap but we really needed it.
I'm slowly allowing myself to eat more after a long history of dealing with an ED :)

It's Friday afternoon. Good time for beer and papadums.
A nice hike in the Tramuntana, in a long interval between thunderstorms.
I've been getting Dental work done recently, and it's across the street from a harbor freight, so after each appointment I've been going there and buying a tool or two. Just bought a flex head ratchet yesterday.
It's better than buying fast food i tell myself, which I've stopped doing for the most part. (If I'm out and about with people, or there's something limited time that I want to try sure, but otherwise i haven't bought any in a couple months)

A pair of boots. Never owned one before. I can finally splash on puddles like in the movies
Hey are you more of a Peppa pig or George?
I'm waiting for it to rain to find out!
I got a mechanical keyboard after researching a ton on which one I wanted. second-hand, so I was a bit restricted to what was offered. I'm getting a Keychron V5 Max, which I'm then going to mod with some new keycaps, a tape-mod and possibly filling it up with foam. The YouTube channel Hipyo Tech has been on the top of my YouTube binge list the last few weeks.
The only "problem" with buying a nice mechanical keyboard is that you never need to buy another one.
Ha! I'll live 😅 And there's plenty of modding things I can still buy for it... Keycaps, switches, foam to fill it with...

I did well on a couple interviews today so I walked down to the local cafe and had a chai latte and a maple bar.
Tomorrow, if I do well on that interview, I'll go walk downtown and get lunch at the local thai restaurant I like!

I went for a run yesterday because I was feeling miserable. It really helped. Today I made 2 big pizzas from scratch.

I bought a new soldering iron, though I had a few before this. They were usually the cheapest I could find. This time however I splurged a bit and bought one with temperature control.
Ordered some nice handmade leatherworking knives.
The irony of it is that I accidentally sliced off a sliver of fingertip the other day with my current one. Damn things are like miniature guillotines, but if nothing else, it's a testament to my ability to sharpen a round knife
A really nice new hoover. I'm allergic to dust and every time I hoovered I'd keep sneezing for like half an hour after turning it off and emptying the bag. The new one I just pour water in a little tank and empty it out without creating a dustcloud.
An absolutely delicious banh mi. Also drugs.
Pasta roller. Not a super fancy one. Made some whole wheat pasta yesterday with some pesto from a friends basil garden.
Three ingredient peanutbutter cookies.
Bought the Lego Game Boy two weeks ago. Haven't played with Legos in a long long time, since I was a kid. But this was a really fun set to put together.
A hedge maze which was way more fun than I thought it would be be.
Okay, so, Monday I went to 2 thrift shops and 2 pawn shops because we weren't able to that weekend. I ended up spending around $50USD on 5 games.
First lawn shop I got Jak 1-3 on PS2 alongside final fantasy X on PS2 for a little over $20 at one pawn. I've 100%ed the first Jak years ago and was part way through Jak 2 when I lost my console and games. Same way I lost FFX with my partway completed save.
Then at the other pawn shop I got PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royal and Crash Bandicoot Twinsanity for around $27, I think. Would need to check receipt, if I still have it.
All games I used to have and enjoy. All I gotta do is see if there is a way to unlock PS3 DLC for free without system mods because I don't think my brother would be too keen on his systems being modded.
Sonic popsicle. It wasn't great lol
