Today I have... Thread.

Today I had a nice Italian soda at the new cafe in town and met an "amusing" person. You see, I said hello to a man that I was walking past and he asked me what I was drinking. Almost immedately after I explained it to him, he asked if I was single and wanted to go out with me (because I seemed nice). Alarm bells went off in my head and after I told him that I wasn't looking at the moment, he listed his credentals, pointed to where he lived and asked if I wanted to come in. Just so I could see that he was a harmless guy and make some BBQ. Thankfully, I didn't give him my name and told him I had other things to do and left.

If I'm not wrong, this is not the first time this has happened to you.

You're either incredibly charming or there's something about you, that acts as a weirdo magnet.

Today I found out that the engine on my Jeep (used) is fucked. So the idiot before me who owned it for some reason tried to make the engine run richer so he could “roll coal” in it (seriously though, a fucking Jeep? The things aren’t really known for fuel efficiency so messing with it to run rich didn’t help at all) and as a result messed it up to where one of the pistons is misfiring, so now I have to deal with that shit.

Today I... learned something completely new thanks to @SadClownMan (and his misfortune). I'm not a car person and I had no idea these were things.

I decided to make a friendship bracelet. It's obviously not finished, nor is it perfect. Here's what it looks like so far:

Had a moderate esophageal spasm attack which went on for a few hours. My biggest fear was that it'd somehow trigger a gallbladder spasm attack, a condition completely unrelated and unconnected to esophageal spasms, but has been the only form of internal agony to top the sensation of my esophagus literally twisting itself into a corkscrew to date. Thankfully, my gallbladder declined to attend and the attack only rated a mere six on the "Indescribable pain" scale.

The most I get are calf spasms/cramp once in a blue moon. They are common and only last a couple minutes but are extremely painful. Basically paralyzes me. Can't imagine how bad spasms are in other body regions.

I get those calf spasms too, I was told to immediately stand on my feet if that happens to get it to stop, they often happen when I'm stretching while waking from sleep.

Today I experienced depression for the first time... I think it's depression. I don't feel like doing anything. Not in a bored sort of way, but like in a nothing I ordinarily enjoy is causing me to feel any sense of enjoyment at all. I've just been sitting here at my computer for hours and hours and hours doing nothing at all. Not even a productive sort of nothing, like where you might download some good shit or waste time watching some semi-enjoyable YouTube videos or whatever... I've just been... sitting here in a daze, trying to think of something to do, trying to think of something to do that will make me feel good. I even tried drinking a few glasses of wine, which normally makes me feel pretty happy but... nothing.

I think I should stop taking this anti-depressant shit my doctor wanted me try, pretty sure it's the cause. Hopefully this feeling of not feeling will wear off soon.

Today I experienced double dreaming... which I didn't even know was a thing... and according to Google it might not be a thing. I actually had two dreams going on in my head last night simultaneously. Not like one dream and then a completely different dream after it, but rather I was actually having two completely separate dreams at the exact same time. Sort of like stereo dreaming I guess. It was really bizarre. Definitely time to stop taking the anti-depressant shit, I don't think that's healthy to take if you're not actually depressed.

That's 100% depression fam. Definitely talk to your doctor, regardless if you think it's the meds.

Today I dropped off the last $20 I owed on 50 original design geek mashup shirts I got from a garage sale. The guy had a company (fizz tee) with his friend but when the friend stepped down he couldn't keep up. They had their own printing machine and everything, went to cons. He just has a family and regular job and wants rid of it all.

They're REALLY nice quality shirts, and I adore the designs on them (I'm going to keep a few for myself and maybe offer a few to friends for free, they only came out to $2 a piece.) I searched a little and it seems like they may have used stuff they found online for inspiration, but changed it enough to be considered "original", and the inspiration images are pretty obscure themselves (teepublic and sites like that.) I'm thinking of buying the 50 or so shirts he has left when payday comes, since I don't mind having product stuffed in the back of my closet, waiting for ebay sales.

The only uncertainty is how much I should jack the price up

:thinking:
 
Today I have a bad laptop hard drive. Had to reinstall Arch Linux. *sigh*

The good news is I saw this happening and already had a spare drive to replace it with. The drive still works, but I don't know for how long. Pulling my shit off it now. A bit shitty since the drive isn't even a year old (7 months of use). Probably a bad drive. Bound to happen.

Huh. Coulda sworn the shirts had different artwork then what I found online but its the same. I can't verify that the art was stolen though, I found a cache of their website and it appears they allowed people to submit their own designs (royalty-free and non-exclusively...hmmMMM. Dunno if they bothered to see if the art was copyrighted either.) I got the name wrong too, it was teefizz, not fizz tee.

Eh. Doesn't change much tbh. I would never do something like this myself but they're already made, nice quality, and cheap as dirt. Even if I sell them $5 a piece I'm making a nominal profit, and I only have to sell what...20 out of 50? to make my money back at that price. And I'm going to try and sell them for 10 a piece, maybe a little more.

Oh! I almost forgot my favorite thing today. While heading to work I found empty leather motorcycle saddlebags in the middle of the road! Still pretty nice, musta just fallen off not that long ago. Empty, with a hole in one corner, so might've just been decoration. I would have loved to return them but...how? Anyway, they fit perfectly on my pup; sit right on top of his shoulders when I slip them on, and besides initially getting them on he doesnt mind them. Had him follow me around the yard and house a bit to test his reaction. He has to go slower then hes used to, and gets caught going around corners (lol), but otherwise no issues. I've been wanting to get something like these for him so when we go on walks I don't have to handle two dogs AND carry water, a dish, biscuits, a handful of plastic bags, along with whatever else crap I want on me. Neato.

I've now been in hospital three days. My gallbladder did indeed device to join the party, by spitting out a gallstone that went for a wander until it found my pancreas and decided to settle down. I have pancreatitis (not recommended) and it is agony. Also, hair down to your arse is not compatible with hospital stays.
