How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

[The Curmudgeon]

I can't wait for fall and winter to get here. I'm sick of the heat. I'm sure some of you love it, but we'll have to agree to disagree. I want the overcast, rain, wind, and cold back.

First date with a cute blonde tomorrow. Pray for me.

GL m8! Let us know how it goes.

I'm moving tomorrow (probably going to stretch it out over the next week as nothing is packed and I'd planned on moving in on the first of September). I moved back in with family during the pandemic and it's going to be nice to be "on my own" again, albeit in a shared house (really, in this area, with this economy, there's no other viable option).

Going to take advantage of the new environment by trying to "reset" my lifestyle via some semi-monkmode thing, basically being healthier, staying offline, and not drinking myself to sleep every night. I have a shelf full of books I've been meaning to read and a stack of records I need to listen to, so this could be a great opportunity. Inshallah I'll have the willpower to stick through it longer than a few days.

 

[The Emperor Skeksis]

I have to start looking for a new place to live, on an extremely limited budget. Which I don't mind, but I do mind the insane amounts of paperwork I need to deliver to even be allowed to search. Love it when I am treated like a criminal/illegal immigrant/trash by the country I've lived in my entire life, very cool, love that for me.

 

[Neurotypical Mantis]

my body really doesn't want to fall asleep for more than 3 hours at once

 

[Figger Naggot]

I took the day off and actually managed to get some sleep, so that was pretty neat. Of course my sleep schedule is now going to be devastated from waking up at 2 in the afternoon.
Not that it was going well lately anyway

 

[Shitted Scaredless]

Got an on again off again headache in the right said of my head. It's been a few days. It could be stress or likely poor posture. But that doesn't make it any less a bother. It doesn't even hurt bad I'm just annoyed.

 

[Overcast]

So far so good. Made some new friends recently and have finally gained a bit more weight and muscle after experiencing a plateau. It’s not much, but hey, one step at a time.

 

[MARlNA]

The depression has been real, real bad for the last week or so. Lots of self-hatred and feeling like I'm better off dead. I'll get over it, but it always really sucks while it's happening.

 

[The Gifted Kid]

I'm currently cramming for another exam tomorrow. I'm actually really interested in the subject personally but when you have to force yourself to learn something it just zaps all the fun out of it. It's going to be interesting to see how many people actually show up for the exam tomorrow since it was pretty much just me and two other people that would show up regularly for class all semester.

 

[Disastrously Dumb]

Im in a mentally bad place right now.
So last week my dad had a heart attack on thursday
i told my fiance that on thursday as i was still trying to process it all.
i only found out yesterday that she hadnt called or message my parents at all.

im in a position where my family overall dislikes her
and i have to decide to continue or call off the wedding,

yeah... my gf of 2 years and an additional year and a half engaged didnt bother to check on my parents when my dad had a heart attack.

Someone, anyone... help me.

 

[Jonah Hill poster]

Minor uninteresting moment, but I was thinking about going back to watching some new American TV after years of not watching it. The first show I was curious about was Euphoria.

Honestly, it was the worst mistake I made so far. For something considered to be edgy and groundbreaking, I couldn’t even get past the first two episodes. It was just boring and, at worst, soulless to watch.

Putting way too much emphasis on sex, drugs and the occasional violence over telling a story with a competent plot must be asking for too much these days. I just remembered being so open with my disgust for the show that I ended up staying up until 4 a.m. in the morning.

I knew I should have watched Better Call Saul from the beginning first, since it’s been years after watching the first season for the first time.

Talk to her about it? Is she close to them, to the point that it should be expected? I've never been close to my SO's parents in any relationship I've been in, and vise versa, which isnt to say that they or I didnt care about them or what they were going through, it's more that neither of us ever had that kind of relationship with one anothers parents, that is, to the point of actively phoning in or dropping by to check on them. I think this is more a product of modern times and how relationships work these days, but maybe I'm wrong.

You're the one marrying her, not your family. Put your feelings for her first.

I feel like an asshole , i feel sad almost of the day and very tired. i am sleep at 5:00 am, i go to university at 18:00 i need to restore my sleep timming

 

[Brain Power]

I can't believe I had to unironically tell someone to take their pills. You can't stop taking them just because "I feel good now!" That explains the massive tantrums over minimal stuff.

 

[.iota.]

i'm distracted. i started a new management position with a large greenhouse and nursery a little bit ago. it's been a dramatic shift from what i was doing for the past few years. i have subordinates, whom i need to utilize this season for success next season. that's not an issue, as i know what needs to be done, and i'm able to deliver the necessary direction, but i've also been tasked with determining the logistics of the next growing season, which, because we're increasing our capacity, requires more screen time than i prefer. i would much rather be in the greenhouse than at home on the laptop.

as a result, i've had a tab opened to kf while i do computer work. it's great when i need a brief reprieve, but it's so distracting when there is so damned much to archive because of the keffals kerfluffle. it's like every lolcow is mooing simultaneously into the twitter void. sigh. if only people were as honest as plants ...

Spoiler: Tl;dr My car is an old thing that stresses me out

Car's acting up again. I was driving the old girl yesterday and I see "check gauges" light up. Turns out my battery voltage gauge was all the way on the right (ie max). I pull over, turn it off and on and it's fine but it popped back up again a minute later. With my small knowledge and a multimeter it seems like my car's battery voltage is fine while on and off. But I can't really check it while driving 45 mph.

My first hope is maybe the cables or other connecting bits are dirty and it's just messing with the sensor. I also noticed my engine oil was way low because my dumb self was overdue for one. So I went to get a two-fer or oil change and battery terminal cleaning. I don't think they touched the cables though. So I'll see how she drives.

I've spent a bit on repairing my car because I can't afford a whole new (even used) one. But I hope this is just a simple fix and not, like, the alternator or something.

Just had some espresso and realized I'm out of nicotine lozenges and I left my other tubes at home instead of in my bag. I am most displeased at my negligence.

 

[Monkey Shoulder]

I've had this exact same same thing. Fingers cleared up after cutting out caffeine for a week. I swapped tea and coffee for water and cut out soda, give it a shot.

I've got a theory that wearing sweaty work gloves all day, and getting soaked in anti-freeze probably caused it.

If I still was a drinking man I would be getting shitfaced tonight.
I wish I still was drinking.
