Sending Feels to all my homies currently freezing their nuts off in the midst of the storms/outages. SoCal is very balmy in comparison and the worst I've had to deal with is wearing socks at night to prevent cold tootsies.
Unfortunately that means we have a lot of tourists coming to cough on all our shit, I had to deal with way more cars than usual on last Sunday's run and everything has been crowded. COVID doesn't worry me as much as getting ran over by a SUV does!
But otherwise I've been feeling really motivated. I've been reading more again and playing music (badly, lol). I want to take the time to learn more things and get the ol' grey matter stimulated. I'm going to look into getting a graphic novel published or at least make an attempt to, advice from comic-Kiwis is much appreciated!

People are driving stupidly. The roads are clear. Meanwhile, no business at work. Sold no jambalaya or muffaleta sandwiches. The king cake is untouched (find the coin win a free hoagie.) Lost money, today.

That really sucks. How did you fuck up that badly in such a short period of time? I mean no offense. I have singlehandedly committed sudoku during health inspections, before.

i screwed up a health inspection at work yesterday, i don't know if we failed or got fined or anything like that. I've been reprimanded for two days over it but i still have my job more or less. went in today and have work again in the morning so that's a plus even if im on thin ice.
on the bright side taxes are filed and waiting on the refund, ugh it's only half of what i made last year though and least year almost came to a full on grand, and less than i usually make on a good week. hopefully it'll bein by or before next payday the first
and finally my new refurbished xbox one has arrived, really was hoping to upgrade to the xs or a ps5 but i guess it'll have to wait...be happy with what you got and all that

I'm actually happy and hopeful for the future despite the melancholic nature of this god-damn eternal pandemic.

Tomorrow is the beginning of Lent. I will be making myself scarce here as just one part of my penance. Generally I am distancing from social media and news in general because last year I found myself inordinately attached to keeping up with current events. On the one hand, who can blame me? Everyone else is doing it on account of Coofid-19. On the other hand, *I* can blame me, because what's happening around me does not lessen my duty to fix my focus on my Savior.
I'll post only once in a while in the weight loss support thread (because I've become a big chungus) and I'll put a prayer request thread in my profile.

I found out a childhood friend died of an overdose. She was a lot younger than me. The little sister of kids me and my siblings played with. I remember when she was a year old. She was so tiny. I hadn't seen her in a long time. She knew I was back in the area though. But I don't think I would have recognized her. Yet someone told me she remembered me. I had no idea she had a drug problem. Seems a lot of people around me ended up that way and here I am totally straight laced. My worst addiction is probably the Farms.
I just don't understand how people can destroy themselves like that. It's really tragic.
As for me, I keep losing my balance for some reason. I fell today and bruised up my leg. Thank God it was on the sidewalk as a few feet back and I would have fallen into a very dangerous road. No one was around to help me. So had it been in the street I'd be on the evening news. Street pizza. Film at 11.

Found out one of my family died of Covid. Not sure what I think. We weren't close.
Other than that, glad I insisted on winterproofing the house, getting the furnace inspected, and all that good shit.
WHO'S LAUGHING NOW, MOTHERFUCKERS!

Away from my partner again for God knows how long after some good time together recently -- so enormously lonely. I hate sleeping in an empty bed, and having no physical contact. At the same time, I recognize that I have had the very feminine tendency to subsume my identity in his, in large part because he is enormously successful and well-regarded, which probably has had the effect of having precluded the desire to improve myself personally, so maybe it's for the best I learn to be alone and happy in and by myself. I've been too satisfied for too long by being [x]'s partner: if it ended, what would I have? Nothing whatever, although I know I've been extremely fortunate to have had what I've had thus far. I'll spend a few years focussing predominantly on my own accomplishments, I suppose.

It’s been cold since Tuesday of last week when the below freezing temperatures started. That shit really gets me down.

Went to work yesterday only for them to close down an hour in due to the weather. Not even sure why they bothered bringing people in then. Will try again today even though there's a chance of it happening again.
Other than that, I've been kinda split on a lot of things. I've always had trouble accepting myself and forming relationships of any kind. I'm slowly getting better at that, only for this pandemic to come in and potentially turn a lot of young children into the same kind of thing I was for so long. It's very sobering to say the least.
At the very least, my three year old niece seems to still be doing okay. Playing with kids her age and supposedly bossing the boys around. I'm thankful she has a mother who actually recognizes that children need to be socialized properly.
Honestly, that's the best thing you can do. I like to believe that despite how shitty things have become, eventually things will turn around. Humanity has a history of bitterly holding on during the worst of times and then coming out stronger from it.

I have a massive burn-out. Second time in five years too. Serves me right pursuing a career in academia. I might actually quit this time. It's like being in an abusive relationship but without the highs, just shit 24/7 and being called a cunt in emails. Will also be homeless soon because uni decided PhD students don't need a house during a pandemic.
I'm glad I can type it out here, even if no one reads. I appreciate you all, kiwis.
Edit. This quote gave me some hope, ha.

I got a full tuition scholarship to the grad program I got into! Even if I get into my top choices but they don’t give me full tuition, I think I will pick this one, because it’s (humanities field it’s hard to get a job in), so I can’t justify more debt for prestige. I’ll be able to take a couple classes at more prestigious university in any case. I’m so happy I’ll be able to afford it.
I was really freaking out yesterday because someone on Gradcafe mentioned they got a scholarship so I figured they’d sent out all the letters and I wouldn’t get one, but I was wrong. I need to stop always assuming the worst.

I sort of fucked up my shoulder at work last week, and it's still bothering me. It mostly hurts in the morning, or when I move my arm in a certain way. I think I need to stretch more in the morning.
My wife and I are also trying to make a baby, which is something we both really want, but makes me nervous at the same time.

Had another rough day at work yesterday. Started out fine but towards the afternoon it got a little...hectic. Almost everyday on the job feels like it could be my last, especially when it's the end of the week before next week's schedule is posted. Most of the other team members said it was alright after the initial craziness wore off and things calmed down and that i was gonna be alright but I just don't know, and wont for a few more hours as of this posting at least.
The anxiety has kept me awake for hours; can't sleep but feel so tired, the only saving grace is I have today off and can sleep in if i ever can get to sleep.

Gonna blogpost a bit
I have to be ready by 9:30 every morning to walk from my bed to my desk for a day in which I do practically nothing but silently sit in meetings in which nothing happens because nobody understands what we've been hired for and they're too burned out to figure anything out and on top of that my workplace keeps implementing retarded security policy that makes no sense and is designed by retards for retards and actually ends up weakening my security as well as becoming progressively more woke to the point where I'm genuinely worried they'll sniff me out.
On top of that the water and internet keeps going out and the power actually went out at home for the first time in my entire life a few weeks back, so it kinda seems like infrastructure is breaking down. Like that sort of stuff is normal when I'm in my parent's country but to have that in the capital of Bongistan? Madness.
