Legit, no meme, no joke, I'm making beef stroganoff.

We don't do it often, maybe twice a year, but it's a household favorite.

Wife is away for the weekend so just me and kiddo. Hope to watch the latest Dungeon Meshi with her. Cook dinner (small goals, man, small goals).

Install flat free tire on wheelbarrow. Which sounds not worth mentioning. The thing is, I'm usually depressed af by this time of year. Then I miss out prepping for gardening season.

Well not this year, baybee. I've been intently focused on preventing that and am doing pretty good. The wheelbarrow is representative of that.

Anyway, more tomatoes, spinach, maybe take another crack at potatoes, basil, zucchini, carrots, cantaloupes again (I can't believe they actually worked last time), not sure what else, yet. Beans? Oh and various sunflowers. Garlic has been in the ground for two years now. The alpine strawberries should now be pretty established but I may have to get a few more. Walking onions continue to spread whether I like it or not...

Spanish homework! My local city council offers free adult learning courses for people earning < £30k. I signed up for Spanish almost on a whim. I was nervous as hell to begin with, but three lessons in I really love it.

Sitting in LA traffic but I’m not driving. We’re coming back from the Grammy Museum and Chinatown. I’m visiting my fams, headed to a big family dinner tonight and my heart is full.

Trying to hold it all together for another day. Going through a thing. It'll be fine but need to just make it through the next couple of days I reckon.

I remain cautiously pessimistic at this point.

As of reading this post, my weekend plans have already begun!

I am currently enjoying a bowl (or three) of fresh homemade french onion soup and a glass of sauvignon blanc.

Tomorrow I'm going to put the finishing touches on a shelf for my cousin and install it in her bedroom.

After that I'm probably going to putter around in the shop for a bit, clean up, maybe sharpen something. I'll probably poke at FreeCAD a bit with the intention of designing one of the larger woodworking projects I have going this year; I have a cabinet, a hutch and a dry bar to build once the days lengthen a bit.

I'm late in a run through Satisfactory. I've sent the last project up the space elevator, so now I'm just horsing around, dumping things in the AWESOME sink. My stretch goal is all the trophies; the 1000 coupons for the Golden Nut is a goal I've not yet achieved in this game. I'm really hoping this is my last run of this game in early access, I don't want to wear myself out on it before 1.0.

Speaking of stretch goals, I just got the notification that a Kickstarter I'm backing has achieved it's goal. To be fair it had before I bid; The Longest Johns are releasing a new album and along with it a bunch of other goodies. I've got their whole back catalog coming on CD. I'm looking forward to it because it'll make it easier to listen to their music in the shop, where I don't have good internet signal.

I think it's off to a good start.

Update: Cat in lap. Is purring.

Got a 1 year old with RSV (literally turns 1 on the 3rd). She is going to need a lot of care and attention. Then my 5 year old too who is recovering from being sick, but maybe some crafts and coloring

Watching Groundhog day and fixing the kitchen cabinet.

Building some cabinets! Finally got all the logistics worked out.

And some work. Bleh

I'm meeting up with a friend and their SO for a little hiking and brunch at a local breakfast joint. Picking up the vision pro today for work so that's exciting!

I think it's easy to be negative if a person doesn't consider the human reading their anonymous posts, people feel empowered to take out their problems from life in general on random faceless internet strangers.

My son just turned 7 we're gonna have a surprise party tomorrow. I have to buy a couch today I've never had this many people at my house before

Going to try to beat anxiety enough to get some shoes and clothes.

Puppy Bowl 20 years is streaming on HBO MAX on this Saturday. The actual Puppy Bowl XX is not till next sunday, but they are doing some look back at cute puppies, so probably that.

There's an anti-Nazi rally in my town, which I'll go attend because fuck the AfD.

I also have tickets for Beast in Black and Gloryhammer on saturday, which is gonna be absolutely epic.

I might go out with some work friends, hook up with a guy I have been wanting to meet for a while, and go to the gym. And talk in silly voices with my cats.

Love this thread and the responses I'm seeing so far. We have big plans to cuddle the baby all weekend, go to a greenhouse and farmers market, hit up a park, and spend some quality time reading as a family.

As an aside, one of the things I really appreciate about the size of Lemmy is how the users are a lot more recognizable (and not just the novelty accounts like on Reddit or other bigger platforms). It's been interesting to see how a user can infuriate me one one thread but then have me arguing in their defense in a separate thread. It's a good reminder that people are multi-faceted and everyone is going to have both hot and garbage takes. But one thing I appreciate is being able to have a conversation on Lemmy even when we disagree on topics.

I'm at the Alhambra!

My teen will be here instead of his Mom’s house for the weekend, so literally anything he wants to do. He drives now, which is scary as heck, so tonight he’s going to meet buddies and he’ll be here on his schedule.

I had some great ideas for meals he would love, including his favorite chocolate chip pancakes, but suddenly he’s eating low carb, so those ideas are out. I don’t know, might end up with just chicken breasts and veggies.

Assuming the weather is ok, we’ve been doing a lot of walking around town and on the new rail trail, so hopefully more of that. It’s a great opportunity to just talk, while having enough activity so it’s not forced talking

Taxes. Looks like OP is in Germany, so …. Here in the US, we need to fill out tax forms and send them in: after January, but by April 15. Lots of paperwork to assemble, but I’m hoping for a huge rebate for buying an electric car

Touching grass

I'm going to worry about missing a phone call from my probation officer this week.

Oh, positive?

Errrrrrrrmmmmmm........................

Errrrrmmmmmm........................

Fuck knows?

It's not off to a great start. Yesterday was a funeral and today was a birthday party cancelled by Covid. I might just chill at home and wait for a break in the rain long enough to mow my lawn.

There will always be negativity unfortunately. I've come to realize that engaging in it is a waste of one's time and doesn't help resolve whatever issue the person on the other side may be going through. I try to diffuse situations, but I can't always spend all my time doing that.

As for weekend plans, not much really. Gonna head to the gym after work and complete my assignment. Same for tomorrow. Maybe start a new video game from my backlog after playing some Muse Dash. I always crave a good platformer.

I love messing around with technology that's not old enough to be considered vintage, not new enough to be considered usable, just this odd in the middle obsolete stuff.

So you bet your ass I'm spending my weekend on the three old iPads I got from my work and finding ways to utilize them.

I'm on call at work so I can't drink or smoke, my boyfriend is out of town, and the weather is nice. It's the perfect combination to take the pup on a long hike. We went on a short hike yesterday and he slept SO HARD afterwards, so I hope he's up to something a bit more intense tomorrow. Worst case scenario I can carry him.

Need to catch up on studying :/

I’m racing tiny cars bro!

I help run an RC racing club. In the summer we do parking lot 1/10 scale in road, and in the winter we do 1/28 scale (Mini Z) indoor onroad. It’s a fuckin blast.

This is an update

Before, I replies that I was cautiously pessimistic.

Now, I am cautiously optimistic.

I'm going to my sister's. I've been craving her macaroni and potato salads. She texted yesterday to say they were all made and we are getting together today.

My wife and I are going to go grocery shopping and make some meal preps. Thinking about General Tso's chicken w/ shrimp fried rice.

Working on a Doom mod, tryin'a keep a good number of vibe checks, and working through THC withdrawal and a tolerance break. I ain't a very exciting dude.

I'm going to play destiny 2 with my long distance besties

Going to go on a hike to see 10 waterfalls, doing some flight simming, clean up the yard and finish the second planter box.

Hopefully some Guild Wars 2 with grandma. Already went to the park with my son.

Make sure yours goes well too!

We're getting a 3D ultrasound of our first child tomorrow. To say I'm beyond excited is an understatement.
