It's great. Excited for Final Fantasy 16. Gonna be a long week, especially since I didn't get the day off today.

My week has been a mixed bag. Spending a lot of time with my family (been great!), but having to spend a lot of money to have some big (and old/rotting/dangerous) trees cut down has been more stressful than I expected.

My week has been kinda sucky, thanks

Could be better. Apartment management sent my lease renewal my way and it’s $200 more expensive. This is the third year in a row that I’ll have had an increase like that.

I can’t afford the new rent, but I can’t afford to move, either.

Not the best, but so far from the worst.
Work-wise, it's slowly starting to fall apart, so I'm also slowly starting to look for something else - I don't want to jump on the first opportunity I find so I fear it'll be a long process... We'll see.

Friends-wise, I've made some real connections over the past few weeks/months and I'm really happy with where I'm at. With how socially anxious I am, it hasn't been been easy... but am I glad I got out of my comfort zone!

Otherwise, it's Final Fantasy XVI release week and I can't wait for thursday :)

I haven't been sleeping well lately, so my productivity has taken a hit. I tend to go through waves of insomnia somewhat regularly. Otherwise, my week has been good.

Mine is a rollercoaster of emotions that will hopefully settle soon. And very muggy weather that is leading to some very poor sleep.

However on the positive side if things I am enjoying my first ever rewatch since the original airing of The X-Files and reading The Shadow of the Gods by John Gwyne and it's really bloody good.

It’s summer here, and El Niño is coming, so I’m in a constant state of climate induced despair and panic. It’s my big trigger. I see one bad news story and my brain runs down all the possible avenues about how we are all going to die and how my son’s life is going to be terrible and I’m horrible for having brought him into this world and everything is falling apart and it all sucks now.

But I just started playing destiny 2, so that’s fun.

Halfway thru another philosophy post but a busy weekend pulled me away from it. Been thinking I might want to chill on it for a little though, with things slowing down and settling a bit nicer.

A person who is lovely and magical and moved away last year is coming down to visit, so I'll be hosting and hopefully cuddling in just a few hours - I'm looking forward to spending what little time of theirs I'll get when they're around.

This last weekend I got out and danced twice, spent time with partners including one I haven't seen in almost a month, finally got connected with the right person to discuss everything that went wrong with my 2 surgeries and care coordination, went to a show my nesting partner and her partner played, and some other stuff I probably forgot.

This week I'll be moderating a panel speech, and then professionally speaking myself. This weekend is pride in SF, so it's jam packed with shows and parties. I'm guessing I'll probably be sick next week because I'll be spending a lot of time partying and being around a lot of people in crowded spaces dancing and having fun.
