Cleaned everything up, it feels better now.

My fucking dad, in his 80's, just told me I'm fat and I need to lose weight. And goddammit, he's right.

"you don't need to enter your senior years over weight. It's hard enough in good shape."

He also just called me a fat fuck.

>tfw your own dad is throwing down fat jokes at you

Hey even if you don't lose weight you still sound like John Goodman. That counts for something.

Isn't it funny how we're still the child even when fully or even more than fully grown?

Doing a lot better during recovery of this round than I did round 1 except for the tinnitus. Years of properly protecting my hearing against the howitzer and bofors, APU startups, and personal shooting and the thing that fucks my hearing is liquid in a bag. Doc doesn't wanna lower the dosage since it's working. Work was still being adamant about me "resting", but I was going fucking stir crazy so I finally got a laptop signed out and some projects tossed my way so I have something to do through the week, so I'm pretty happy about that. I'm not "watch The Price is Right and bitch at Colonial Penn" levels of old and disgruntled yet.

I need to cry, but I can't let myself, it feels like defeat.

A problem that could have been fixed in 1-2 minutes turned into a 40 minute argument.

I need to start coming with this thread with good news.

 

[BABANGUIDE64]

It goes on

A man who's afraid to cry in his own damn home is an even bigger pussy than a man who isn't. Just get it over with.

My cat keeps knocking shit off of my desk while I'm trying to work on my hobbies. He's such a good cat...! He's just trying to show me he cares but he's too dumb. I love him! I need to get a bigger desk that he can go full meow-meow spread on...

And I want to rage but then I realize I needed that advice.

Things are doing better.

We've spent weeks clearing gf Mum's house out who passed away and finding loads of problems with the house and fixing so we can move in. I've not done much DIY so been learning lots on the go.

While that was going on packed up where we were living and working too!

It's been a real time of it Kiwi friends - I hope you're doing okay?

Had a very productive day. Did paperwork this morning and then in the afternoon I connected the backyard hose and power washed my patio. Next I planted two containers of red and white flowers (Dipladenias) and one shrub (Japanese Pieris) . Then I took this photo of a robin who built a nest in front of my home.

So, for some reason, my Word documents aren't saving properly; they keep failing to save stuff that I've spent often extended periods of time writing down. Just opened up a document that I was working on earlier, and it's deleted nearly 2-3 hours' worth of writing that I had done. So, that really nice.

And yes, I've checked out my history and stuff on my computer; it just vanishes completely, no idea what the hell's going on.

I got my first paycheck at the new job today and so could finally properly budget things out. Thankfully even purposely overshooting on expenses, I have exactly the amount I want to dump into savings while letting checking and "me" money build up slowly but surely. Further, my boss has had a weekly end-of-week review with me and is actually extremely pleased with me going above and beyond to purposely learning about/calibrate all sorts of equipment that is outside the specific sub-discipline they hired me to become trained up on as the go-to guy for. Between that, the lab being a pleasant low-key and "training" lab in the first place, and my budgeting being as I see fit, I'm feeling like for once I WON'T be metaphorically looking over my shoulder after several months and actually have time and space to breath and actually become good in my career field I got into. What a... what a relief.

I like where I live and I'm planning on furnishing up my apartment now starting tomorrow. I want it to become cozy and comfy for my cat's sake. When I picked her up a decade ago, she obviously loved living with me but I could tell on our walks around our then-complex she was jealous of how much nicer other apartments looked, so I've resolved to make it so for her - and I'm old enough to appreciate that, too. Once she's here and used to the inside, then I'll slowly let her out to explore the local complex, then... well, if everything goes right all I'd like is a nice lady to love and I finally have the mellow and good life I always wanted.

Otherwise I bought a book called The Traveling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa, a short story book and prequel to The Goodbye Cat, another short story collection about cats that got me back into reading. I'm looking forward to it but the author is incredible at bittersweet stories and I'm using it as motivation to make everything perfect for my cat when she moves back in with me from home....

I am hopeful for life in the long run now.

Feeling very alone. Have been better while staying busy, but it all goes away when having free time and no one to spend it with.

 

[Extremely Bad Man]

If you have any vacation time at your job, take some as soon as you can if only so you can spend some time thinking about what you actually want out of life instead of just going through the motions of what you're "supposed to" be doing at x age for x reasons. Beyond that, no one can really help you with this because it's something you have to figure out for yourself.

Yeah, that would be a good idea; I'll try doing that when I can. Anyway, thanks for responding -- I really appreciate it.

I feel mad. I'm not sure why. I simultaneously feel mad at everything and nothing. I just feel stuck and that I should be further along in life by now.

 

[BABANGUIDE64]

It's Saturday morning, I'm still detached from people and I'm still unvital like a dull vegetable. I'm giving up on lifting weights and doing physical exercises.

 

[BABANGUIDE64]

Limerence is debilitating. It made me understand how insignificant in people's lives, isolated, lonely and innormal I am. It's is an indignity to be like a malfunctioning part of society, disconnected and replaced with something more fitting.
