I was working in a shipyard. It was my first day on the job. I was chatting with a big, tough guy about my past experiences, and he asked me why I stopped doing carpentry. I told him I felt I wasn’t as good as I had once been, and wanted to try something new. He asked why I thought this job would tu...
Happy Thanksgiving to those in the US that are celebrating. Today was pretty much like every Thanksgiving for us other than my brother and his fiancée didn't come over because if COVID and my grandson was at his dad's house (he was with us last year). That means I still made a huge dinner because t...
Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it. Here we do friendsgiving, instead of being with family. Just the same people I usually like around and one of the people who came over for Halloween too, so a small gathering. The food was good. I wish I had offered to help in some way, but I hadn't left...
We're moving office in early December, so we need to box up all our stuff for the move. Ordinarily I'd be like, what a pain. But I was really excited at the thought of needing to come in to the office for a day. I could take a couple hours extra to walk around downtown and check out the plaza, the p...
9:57 PM Today was pretty much about math homework entirely. I mean I did have work today, and I did a bunch of other things throughout the day, but I was thinking about my math homework pretty much the entire time even as I was working and doing other things. This is the last course I need to get a...
7:25 AM (of Wednesday, November 25th 2020) Today is Tuesday, November 24th 2020 and it was a very physically active day for me. After waking up in the morning and using the bathroom, I went out for a 3.3 mile walk. When I got back home, I played some Beat Saber for about 30 minutes, playing at my p...
Still haven't been up to anything productive lately. I started watching an Australian kids show called Bluey and I really like it, it's cute and reminds me of when I was a kid. I went to the dispensary again even though I shouldn't have and I spent the rest of my money on weed. The dispensary messe...
10:30 PM Today has been a pretty good day I guess. It was a very lively day. I woke up this morning pretty early at around 5:30 AM and after using the bathroom I spent 30 minutes drafting up and sending a message to somebody. After that I went out for a walk. It was very cold outside due to there ...
Today was a very long day. Parts were stressful but I didn't feel the need to use or drink. I thought at one point "Hey you made it past 10 days, it's fine if you get a little messed up tonight". I immediately told myself no and made a list of things I had to do. Get toothpaste, toilet cleaner, groc...
I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and I started using Habitica to help with my executive function. One of the challenges is to write in a journal every day for a week and I’m hoping it will help with my emotional regulation. I’m really excited to try this because my executive dysfunction can get pr...
After long delay, I have asked for a pay raise from my boss, the wait was tough and the anxiety I went through nearly kill me. I always have the doubt that, is it me or everyone does? Me being an introvert tends to have difficulty to start up conversation, especially this type. Luckily at the end ...
I decided to start a solo Minecraft game so I could experience the start of the game organically. Part of the reason I didn't enjoy our early play sessions is that newbie was a bit too on-the-ball. On the first in-game day, when HGR and I were faffing about the overworld and punching sheep, newbie w...
