hello Beehaw, it's a sleepy morning--and i did not get very much sleep. luckily i have no social priorities so this is not a big deal. currently reading a number of books after completely crashing out of doing that for the entire month of June. i think i can get about 3 in before the end of the month, we'll see

Back in April, I took a reading challenge that I had found online to read for at least thirty minutes per day, because I really should read more often. I failed about twenty days in, doing the bare minimum. What have I become?

Sorry, this particular instance has me prone to double posting for some reason.

Been really annoyed by all of the beehaw brown outs, but I’m trying to be understanding about the difficulties of a growing platform.

Also been getting back into VR gaming which has been fun and made me pretty sore

Pretty good. Last full week of summer break so I'm just wrapping up house projects and preparing some teaching materials for next year.

I pinched a nerve in my back late last week and today was the first morning I woke up without any immediate pain, so that's progress at least

Same old. I have an exam this Friday, just wanna get it over with so I can concentrate more on reading and writing.

Going well. Trying to stay cool. Excited about some work to be done to my house. Got a whole house fan going in, and a SolaTube (like a skylight, but small).

Been having a long week myself. I could hardly sleep the last two days and work has been insanely busy. I've been spending my weekends doing a second job to try and get out of debt and get experience in a field I want to enter. I am so tired and desperately need a day off, but I feel like if I do, I'll just be depressed all day. Good luck with your reading! I've been reading City of Brass and loving it, hope to get that finished in the next week or so.

I'm in the process of selling my current car to my sibling so I can get something more fuel efficient with a hatchback. Have my eye on something specific and hopefully nobody snags it up before saturday!

the greatest man in my whole life finally returned and i’ve been walking on rainbows and basking in pure sunshine. He’s my greatest LGBTQ+ ally and i feel more myself than ever. i feel like i can tackle the whole world one tiny step a a time…

my running routine has been regular again, i’m eating healthy and clean with very little cravings, and getting some eerie short story collections under my belt: Thomas Ligotti’s Teatro Grottesco and Nathan Ballingrud’s North American Lake Monsters.

it feels like the clouds have finally parted and everything everyday is just suffused with an extra encouraging glow…
