how's your week going, Beehaw
  • Things WILL be okay, just to add an extra voice. You got this.

  • how's your week going, Beehaw
  • Bad news: Anxiety's been climbing for no real reason. Stomach knot continuously tightening, even noticing it while lying down, which is new. Tried a cannabis gummy to see if it'd at least unwind the knot. No tolerance to THC at all after about a decade of not using it, so the dose I thought was sensible - one gummy - turned out to be way too much. It was by no means the relaxing experience I was kind of desperate for, but I did devour an entire bag of baby carrots without noticing, so that happened.

    Neutral news: Beyond that, pretty okay. Routine's been mostly unchanged.

    Good news: In January a massive tree fell during a blizzard and crashed through the roof in the room where I was sleeping, and while we managed to get the tree lifted off the house there's been nothing but tarps covering what remains of the roof ever since then. Because there was so much damage to so many houses as a result of the storm - and the insurance only uses one construction company in the region - we've been on a waiting list to have the collapsed part of our house fixed for six months. They've said they ordered the trusses to fix it as of one week ago, and should be out to get started Oct 16. I am super hyped about this.

  • Are you cancelling streaming services?
  • Canceled everything but my Youtube premium. The beauty of streaming, and why it killed piracy for a time imo, was that it made it so easy to access everything there was no need to bother with anything else. I was happy to pay for a media subscription when it was one subscription. I was even happy to do it when it was two, then three. By the fourth, fifth, sixth, so on and so forth forever, I'd had more than enough. They've done away with the ease of access for consumers and made it painfully obnoxious again, so... back to piracy.

  • Holy shit, that's wild.

  • What's something that you were surprised to find out a lot of people hate?
  • Same. I've found it helps to just not look at what general purpose "fans" have to say about pretty much anything. It's always gonna be a hatefest.
