How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

My broken arm healed up enough for my brace/cast to be removed. Despite being weak and stiff, having some range of motion again is awesome (I can type on a keyboard with both hands now!). Also no more sponge baths (those were annoying). Now I'm starting the "physical therapy" stage of my healing process.

I think I've mentioned before how religious studies is one my favorite hobbies. This has led to me doing a more intense Bible study. Believe it or not, I'm actually enjoying it! I also used to be such a fedora-tipping militant atheist in the past that I used to scoff at the idea of reading the Bibe, but I was also a hypocrite who tried to shame Christians for the same thing. Funny how I came around to admitting that I also have never read the Bible, so in retrospect I was no better than them. How can you criticize something you know nothing about? Granted, people do that all the time. However, it hits differently when you reflect on you've been guilty of that yourself. It certainly did for me!

I accidentally posted this in the "What Grinds My Gears" thead. Whoops!

Quite good. Weather got nice recently so I'm toiling on the yard after nobody touched it in decades. Already did everything I could with the few power tools I have (well, a saw and a chainsaw) so now I roleplay a medieval peasant with a shovel trying to shape this place to my liking. Couldn't keep up with fishtank in a long while tho sadly so I guess I'll wait for some recaps when it's all over.

I've been quite productive in terms of my creative projects, and am enjoying the nicer weather. Once it warms up a bit more I'm going to start working down by the beach.

Spent time with my mother on mother's day. She's great. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if she's a KF lurker, given her opinion on trannies.

In terms of less great news, the past two times I've been drinking I've had the shakes the next day as part of my hangover. I also have a physical sensation in my body this time that I recognize as withdrawals, since I've experienced them before when my doctor tapered me off a dependence-forming medication. It's fairly mild and only lasts around a day or so, but I think it's a sign I should lay off the sauce for a little while.

Outside of my home and workplace, I realize that I don't really like going out as much anymore. I'm not a full-time hermit, not that I would mind being one, but mainly go out to run errands these days. I don't mean to sound like a doomer, but society really does seem to get worse with each passing year. I know there are many explanations for why society sucks. However, in my own experiences, people just seem to be more casually hateful and aggressive. Social media doesn't help the situation either.

Also, the downtown I used to visit has been infested with homeless people for over a decade now and crime has risen a lot too. It used to be cozy and fun, but not anymore. I miss those days.

Husband keeps telling me that the reason Baby DeLawyer still won't sleep through the night is because I "make every moment of his day pure ecstasy" and "he has so much fun, of course he doesn't want to sleep."

I do not know if this is a compliment. I haven't slept a single night uninterrupted by something or other since November 2021. Mama is fucking tired.

I had to quit a job I actually liked because of permanent wrist damage, I'm struggling to find non strenuous work I feel confident in to be honest, I shouldn't look for remote work because I'm already sat up in my room like a schizophrenic 24/7 when I'm not at work. I have to wear a wrist brace now, it bothers the shit out of me and I'm constantly fighting the urge to rip it off. I've felt better about my situation no doubt, not that this is life ruining for me.

Checkpoint 5/21/2023 ~12AM

I guess I'm just in another one of those slumps. I'm sad about things that don't even matter, and I'm pissed off about the smallest of things. Scrapping together the little fragments of happiness that I can, I walk up to the gates of hell and ask for another day. Why do I ask for another day? I couldn't tell you, I don't know.

Enough of the existential shit. At the end of the night, everything is okay. My oxygen flow could be better, my heart rate could be more normal, but I'm still here on this fucking planet and that's enough to be proud of. I feel like each wellness check ends with me saying that, but it's true. That's how my mind works. It's a big cyclical cycle of pain, realization, daydreaming - lots of daydreaming, sadness and back to having the best day of my life.

Shit's weird, but we only get one shot at it. Let's make it hell for everyone else and try to get the best we can - sometimes that's all we can do.

On a more positive note, I recently got some major personal errands done. I also have a three-day weekend coming up and I won't have to do shit!

I can spend all that time sleeping in, reading, browsing the Internet, shitposting on Kiwifarms and 4chan, eating, gaming, and doing anything I feel like doing. Then I don't have to care about the awful world we live in because I'll be having too much fun and relaxation!

For me, I have an old VHS player to start inspecting and looking into so I can watch tapes on there. I love vintage technology, so in looking forward to checking out if it still works.

Nice. A few years back, a buddy of mine made a bootleg copy of Lain on VHS, and ever since then I've been obsessed with finding weird shit on eBay and watching it.

Haven't been online for the past few days. Moved into a new place friday. UPS dropped my fucking modem off on Monday at the front door. Days before I was even living there. Now the package is missing. But ATT is giving me a new modem. Should arrive Tuesday at the store so I don't go through this shit again. So all the internet I have is my cell phone. Dial Up speeds at the worst of times. Ironic since I live in a metro area. T-Mobile sucks.

I basically conked out around 5pm saturday. One of my NAS hdds is not powering on. Gotta get that fixed / replaced. Most of the data isn't lost, but its annoying. And to top everything off, me and another car collided this morning in the parking lot. Nothing too major. Just a bent in bumper and minor cosmetic damage. Same with the other car.

Following my quarter life crisis saga. I've been trying to learn to do an ollie with my skateboard, but thanks to my busted-ass old person knees the process is going... Yeah.

While I was scooting around I saw a kid that looked like he was 14 or something riding as well. And I experienced a Steve Buscemi moment for the first time ever. Life's good.
