Old friends and their kids are coming to visit for about half a week. Haven’t seen them for a few years. No big plans: just hang out and catch up.

Wife is playing spyro. Kids are play roblox. And I am ready to play this.
Man, you are all such nerds, and that's why I feel at home here. :)
I'm going to continue playing Tears of the Kingdom and hopefully crush pull day at the gym tomorrow.
I've never heard of a "pull day" at the gym before, what's that mean?
Oh, don't get me started talking about lifting! You'll never get me to shut up. :-)
It's a way to describe the "split" that a person does at the gym. I do the so-called PPL ("push, pull, legs"), split, meaning that on some workouts I'm focusing on the muscles that generally push things away from you (like the muscles of the chest, the shoulders, and the triceps), and on others, I train the "pulling" muscles (the lats, traps, and biceps). Then of course there's leg day!
All it is is a shorthand to structure your workouts so that you don't fatigue the same muscle on subsequent days. Hope that helps!
Birthday celly tomorrow! Rooftop pool in the afternoon, whisky bar in the evening. Gonna be the BEES knees baby
Happy Birthday!
Tonight was trans march. Tomorrow is dyke march. Then, time to sleep :)
I'm sick. So I'm just passing time on my bed, setting up a new laptop I just got. Not super exciting, but it's always fun getting a new toy.
Celebrating my anniversary! Going to go do some fun boat stuff on the water. Have a nice dinner afterwards. Also planning a murder mystery birthday party for next weekend.
Drinking, smoking, and trying to convince myself that "ok, tomorrow is it, stop drinking and start walking".
Getting an MRI to see if my prolactinoma has shrunk.
I'm getting off a medication that give me extra panic and anxiety so I'm taking as much anxiety medication I can and sleeping it out of my system hopefully! Fingers crossed!!
Probably hitting up some stores with the wife tomorrow. We looked at paints last weekend for the house and found them to be a bit dark, so we’re going a little lighter! May wash that down with some Korean BBQ and then probably spin up some characters on Diablo 4 with the wife too. Guild Wars 2 has had my attention lately too, so I may farm achievements on that
I'm seeing lots of videos of soldiers on streets in Russia and feeling uneasy.
Racing a sailboat from San Francisco to Half Moon Bay, spending the night there and motoring back on Sunday. We've been doing well in the ocean races so far this year, so I'm hoping for a good result tomorrow.
Enjoy the book! I've not read it yet either, though I plan to some day. :)
Greetings from Oakland! Hope you kick ass!
I just finished watching the first John wick while having a beer! Going to pour myself a glass of wine and watch the second one now
At that rate you'll be hammered by the fourth one
My husband and I have decided to start our own book club this weekend. We are nerds and both enjoy reading but he has limited time and I have limited patience with it because I had a stroke a few years ago and it's not as easy as it used to be for me. We're starting with short stories and we'll just read one at a time ad discuss when we're done. I'm hoping it will improve my skills over time and I know we'll enjoy the extra bonding. We're reading A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms by George R R Martin. He's read all of the ASOIAF books and I've not read any of them. We've both watched both of the related TV shows.
I will be continuing to learn UE5, catch up on some work, and hopefully feel better. Had to go to urgent care today for a appendicitis scare. X-Rays looked good so I just got steroids.
Visiting my Dad in Toronto. Seeing the sights with my family for the first time. Just wrapping it all up and loving the overall pride vibe. Happy Pride to everyone! Spread love... I'm sending it right now!
The Princess Bride is as wonderful a book as it is a movie! You're gonna love it 😊
I'm gonna be cleaning my apartment because we're finally getting a couch!! And I need to get the place in order so it's easy to maneuver it in. We've lived in our place for a few months already but still in box city... so it's nice to have something to force me to unpack and make it look presentable.
Finally getting some time to discover this site and getting myself used to browsing here.
If I can give you an advice: don't stop trying to get used to kbin.
For me, at the beginning it felt a little complex and hard to find what I wanted, but after some days it started to feel like home and everything now makes sense (except for the upvote button that don't really upvote a post)!
We will be doing stuff around the house. One kids has a birthday party in the afternoon. Start meal planning for next week so we can do our big shop on Sunday.
A few of us are going fishing, but I think I'm gonna swim.
Downloaded Surveillance Capitalism and going to play Diablo 4
Bringing a thermos of soju and dancing at all the free music booths from Pride Toronto! I really needed this.
Finally clean my space because it is a complete mess
I'm finally getting a quiet weekend where I don't have to go anywhere. I plan on finishing this week's to-do list, and then Saturday night a friend and I are having our weekly anime night. We're watching Demon Slayer. Then Sunday I want to watch The Amazing Mr. X from 1948.
I'm currently rejoicing over the fact that I finally solved my issue with the computer speakers playing, along with taking a good rest from my graduation!
Nothing is planned because I was almost sure my wife would be in labor by now. So, I guess just more sitting around and waiting.
Lots of streaming and calls with my gf
It's my birthday on Sunday but due to my previous landlord fucking me over I am very broke this paycheck so no real plans other than stay home and be with my wife.
Happy birthday! Enjoy spending time with your loved one, that's a present in and of itself! Also, fuck landlords
Going to try to get to the forge and do some blacksmithing
Saturday afternoon where I am. But last night I went out for dinner and drinks with a few friends, tonight I have a 30th birthday party to attend, and tomorrow I'm playing dungeons and dragons
Going to a concert tomorrow night, and then reading and spending some time with my newborn. Should be a good rainy weekend.
Trying to figure out how to stain the maple cabinets I built. It's been harder than anticipated... But progress is progress. One step at a time and all that.
Recovering from work this week. Getting ready to fly cross-country. Probably going to have to spend the next day running errands and going shopping before starting it all over again on Monday.
i just got back from flying cross country. my ears are still f'ed 24 hours later
Well, for me the weekend is the start of my (very weird) weekly work schedule so my weekend is pretty much just ending.
However, thanks to a recommendation at the Star Trek community I picked up one of the Star Trek books for my Kindle since they're on sale so I'll definitely be reading that!
Additionally, I updated my Minecraft server to 1.20.1 and nuked the world since I hadn't really progressed at all (the TL;DR of that situation is that I've been "working" on that server since 2021 - it was intended to be a new public server that my ex and I were going to create, but I just haven't had a lot of time or motivation to do so after we split up) so I'll probably be giving that a go!
I finally got a refill for an important medication I'm on, it was three weeks late and has been stressing me out so I'm relieved over that. There are plenty of other stressors going on as of lately, but that was a pretty big one.
Other than that, for better or for worse I'll just be going wherever the days take me!
Planting grapes and irises, then going to the local Italian restaurant for dinner. Tomorrow, picking up hay for the donkeys. Playing Valheim between all that. 😆
