How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

Feeling pretty crap due to the state of the world. It could be so much better if people just stood up for themselves. Instead, people nod and agree with whatever they're told and turn on family and friends who dare to disagree.

So much fear.
I could be wrong, but we do tend to view people who break the peace negatively. But at the same time, we also don't want to draw negative attention to ourselves. Sometimes it's good to take a break. Maybe on a day off just have a no internet day. Just get out of the house and enjoy nature. If it's a rainy day, maybe read a book. Spend some time away from things like social media and etc.

Thanks. I think I may actually do that tomorrow. I had meant to take some time to disconnect.
 
Got the job in Colorado! Rocky Mountains here I come!!!

So glad fall and winter are approaching.

Despite wanting to lose a few pounds I overdosed on gluten-free spaghetti and homemade sauce.
Somebody send brownies, it's my only chance for survival.
My understanding is that potatoes are not that difficult to grow. Got any pointers?

Managed to cut down on the benzos and booze somewhat, probably because the COVID crisis is settling down and in turn the healthcare system where I work isn’t strained to shit. It’s also been a while following my dad’s funeral, so I feel much better for it now, especially now that all the pressure to keep myself together is gone. Feels like a vice getting taken off my head and I can finally move on.

Maybe I can finally kick the bad habits by the end of the year, who knows.

Pretty optimistic, all in all.
 
I wasn't looking forward to getting into work but when I did we were told to go straight back home and WFH, internet 🅱️roke. I'm starting to feel exhausted working here. We have hard deadlines for projects coming up and we're buried under PRs from overseas developers. There's only four of us, and no project manager so stuff bounces in priority constantly at a whim. The pay is good, but that's about it.

So yeah, could be worse but could be better.

They're not, it's super easy. If you want the most perfect and beautiful potatoes you have ever seen, grow them in sawdust, it's like an old hydroponics method. The downside is that they will taste like sawdust. So put them in the dirt instead.

What if you're an Irish termite?
