Brother and his wife moved house a couple weekends ago. The new place is a big two-story house with a basement. Now my parents get a guest room. I’m still sleeping on the couch, but it’s in the basement, which is much nicer than the middle of Grand Central Station. They plan to get a new couch for t...
Also speaking of daily life activities, I’ve been cleaning the house, since Dad will be here on Friday. He’s mostly here to pick me up for a weekend at brother's place, but there’s enough slack time in the schedule for him to tut about the state of the house, and I wanted to give him a minimum of am...
Medical malpractice cases are so freaky. For instance: A 30-year-old sprains her ankle while bowling. She goes to the hospital, gets a boot put on, etc. Over the next week she goes to various follow-up appointments. Eight days after the ankle sprain, she’s found collapsed in the parking lot outside ...
10:33 PM What a day today. For most of the day, up until just a couple of hours ago, I had no electricity. I was actually woken up by the sound of the electricity in my area being turned off. A bunch of my devices start making beeping noises when they are suddenly turned off, like my fans and air p...
Lots of sudden snow, and an hour-long phone call to renew my phone plan because they were updating the website? Not the best start to a Saturday. I am actually using this journal before my morning journal, so that is interesting. Hoping everyone can say TGIF with confidence!
After a couple days taking a break from PoE2, I’ve calmed down about the whole thing. It helps to get a little perspective. First of all, last night, meisnewbie (brilliant physicist and undisputed god gamer) streamed PoE2. He just reached endgame on his monk and was attempting a tier 3 corrupted nex...
Had lunch with R at the food court. As usual, it was way busy. R saved us a table while I went to get us food (a cheesesteak for him, a BBQ sandwich for me). There wasn’t a chair at the table for me. I went to the next table, where two guys were sitting, and asked if I could have their spare chair. ...
11:29 PM The photo on the left was me in August 2024, I weighed around 180 pounds. For some reason, I believed at the time that I was too fat and that I need to lose weight to get six pack abs to become attractive. A few months later in 2025, I probably fasted for over 30 days total. I did 2 weeks ...
Went to a Rotary meeting this afternoon, and they were talking about addiction prevention for youth. I was told that Casinos and Energy Drink manufacturers are not required to fund any programs that teach moderation. That really pisses me off. 🤬 Have flag folding and drill practice with the cadets ...
The Let’s Make Art oath, which Sarah recites at the start of every tutorial, is “I promise to be kind to myself, I promise not to compare my work, and I promise to have fun.” I naturally do this with art, but not so much with everything else. Case in point: Path of Exile 2. I like this game, but it ...
10:32 PM There was this image I opened up on my computer earlier today, it was of a 4chan green text story. Basically a ridiculous story on this anonymous forum website called 4chan. I read the whole thing, the story was 18+, it just had some inappropriate things in it, so I don't want to post it h...
Was running errands first thing this morning, so I missed the visit from my nieces who wanted to show me the extra crunchy leaves they found walking to grandmas house. 😣 Paid some bills, and searched high and low for a stupid LED light strip for the shop water fall display, but the damn thing just ...
