Finished work early so I’m happy. It’s been a tough week as my chronic back/shoulder pain has been acting up. Thankfully work has been relatively relaxing and got a surprising amount of positive feedback from the directors. What that says for my performance when I’m not in agonising pain I’m not sure!

Going to my sister’s to watch her cat for the weekend, should be chilled. I intend to drink the pain away as my meds aren’t working.

I stayed at an Airbnb for a friend’s bday last night and had a great time singing along to Road to El Dorado (and kept everyone up with my snoring). I’m back home, cleaning myself and the apartment and will shortly be taking a Tears of the Kingdom break.

I’m from Lemmy.ml and replying to this! Isn’t federation great?

…my week is going well, btw. Getting some Qdoba today for lunch with the bf.

Adding that to my TBR. I got back into reading 2 years ago, it’s helped my mental health so much by replacing social media. Hope your week calms down＼(^- )

Woke up at 3am and couldn’t fall back asleep, but it’s a freaking GOOD day, got some caffeine, not a lot of meetings at work today, and the Lemmy community grows, I’m loving it here

Ever since I took on a new role at work, I’ve been busy attending more meetings with Very Important People than before. For someone like me who prefers not have the attention of Very Important People, it’s nerve-wracking.

Oof I’ve hit the under two week deadline for my final portfolio in school and I’m permastressed. I’ve been finding myself spending hours playing The Long Dark as the unforgiving canadian wilderness is easier than just working on my school work 🫠

idk, i’ve been stuck between a rock and a hard place for awhile but this weeks been rougher than usual. Weirdly I’m feeling hopeful for the future though, maybe it has to get worse before it gets better.

Honestly, finding this place has been the highlight of my month! This week has been crazy busy at work. About 4 different projects all started going on at once on top of my normal work load and it’s been a bit draining. But, i put in for a couple vacation days a month ago and am going to be spending it at a friend’s doing lán parties and just general hanging out.

I hope all y’all’s is going well! Or will soon be!

I’m doing pretty great. Spent all weekend volunteering at pride events and meeting lots of amazing people. Been having fun hanging around beehaw too so that’s been a positive as well 😊

After a couple of months doing photosynthesis, my ADHD medication finally decided to allow me to study this morning. But no more than 90 minutes. Now I’m again in my endless scrolling and doing nothing productive.

Besides that, I’m trying to be more active in kbin.social / lemmy instances to create more content through comments or post and engage, knowing the inevitable doom from Reddit (although I have an user on sopuli since last year).

I was just approved in the community, so still exploring.

My university exams are going on so I have been busy with that and only 6 days left before my college life ends (temporarily at least) and it’s daunting for me how adult corporate life would be. I am already making a list of things to do in vacations like joining a gym, starting to read a book that was pending since past several months(any readers of Red Rising by Pierce Brown here??), learning guitar and so on…

I am over all the place, but happy.

Think I’ll have to share in calling this week total chaos as the last few days I’ve been moving across the country to pursue an internship at NASA. It’ll be my first week at work there so here’s hoping it goes well. I also have a class I’m currently taking with an exam tomorrow. Very stressful indeed.

I’m waging a losing war against the squirrels for my flower bed. So far, I have saturated the area with Irish Spring soap shreds and sprayed a mix of Repel All/Tobasco sauce on everything. The smell is nauseating.

Does anyone know if those sonic repellant machines actually work?
