I don't make fast enough progress with what I'm currently doing in my job (VM images with distrobuilder and cloud-init to call ansible-pull, if you're into that kind of masochist thing), I get too little sleep because my body insists in waking me up 1h early every day, my 4yo sleeps in bed with my wife instead of me and I miss her terribly, and though we do make good money, it's still kind of tight.
OTOH, we're having a spontaneous long weekend getaway with my brother's family and for friends in a mountain cottage coming up that we're all really looking forward to, so there's that. There will be multiple dogs, we're gonna light a fire and make bread on sticks and marshmallows, and we'll have a wonderful view over Saxon Switzerland.
But at least equally important: how are you?
Too little sleep is rough, I was up at midnight tonight so that really resonates with me right now lol. Maybe the kid'll get comfortable sleeping alone soon so you can get your bed back?
Long weekend, multiple dogs, and nice views though? That sounds fantastic, I hope you enjoy it!
Edit oops: I'm doing okay, actually! I've been getting treated for depression and it seems to be working, I've been having an easier time kinda dealing with life despite the whole everything.
I also totally have a concert coming up, I'm gonna see my favorite band (Delain) next month and my husband's gonna gonna drive me so I don't have to park or stay sober or anything, I'm looking forward to it :D
Oh shit, I forgot about the whole everything! We've had elections here in Germany and it's going as you would expect, with fascists making massive gains everywhere, and them there's the US and the environment and the war in Ukraine (which is not very far away from here), well, the whole everything. We even have a German word for it: Gesamtscheiße (roughly translates to "the overall shit")
You can and should be very proud for getting help for your depression. Good job on surviving, I'm glad to hear that therapy is working. From what I understand, it's a never ending fight against an enemy that gets stronger while you blink, so don't give up. Have a meme:
Have fun with Delian!
