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.
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.
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＼(^-^ )
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 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.
Oh man I remember that feeling.
Every time my life has moved on to the next phase things have just gotten better. That doesn’t mean there aren’t bumps (sometime serious giant bumps) along the way or the stuff that came before wasn’t great too but I feel that each new part of my life just enhanced everything that came before. This is a feeling that I know is shared by most people I know too.
I hope that’s the same for you and that everything goes well as you move into “adult corporate life”. Try to turn that daunting feeling into excitement as the new bit starts!
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 😊
So far Beehaw seems like a chill place to chat, I’m interested to see how things go in the next few weeks!
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).
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.

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
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.
Omg that's so fucking cool, congrats and hope you it goes dope !
Thanks! Going well so far!
I've had better weeks. One of my guinea pigs who has been sick for a while got sick enough that she had to be put down, with the added bonus that this became obvious about 15 minutes before I had to go meet my new landlord to pick up the keys to my new apartment. On the plus side, moving into the new apartment has been easy, I thought I would need to do a lot of back and forth to move stuff before the movers come to take the big things, but seems like that's mostly done. Also, my other guinea pig is doing well despite the loss of her friend, so that is good also.
I'm really sorry about your guinea pig. It's always tough losing a pet.
Thank you
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?
Can’t comment for squirrels but the sonic repellant worked really well for cats that had been doing their business at the bottom of the garden. Squirrels are basically small cats right?
I hope so. They are going after my potted plants now.
It's going pretty good because I think I'm finally making some progress towards being more focused. Although I need to confess that was pretty thrilled with the onboarding on lemmy and checked it a lot during the weekend.
Apart from that I'm cutting ties with general stuff and news and focusing on: books (reading The Stranger right now), one single magazine about current issues in the world, hearing good music and starting to play an old RPG after great advice I received on c/gaming. I'll workout after work and then start a campaign.
Oooh the stranger, I love that book! I remember how baffled I was when my father gave it to me when I was younger, it was unlinke anything I'd ever read, but definitely had an impact on me
Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.
