Mine is going to be laid back if all goes according to plan. I'm going to do some birding with a friend tomorrow morning, then I'm headed to a used bookstore to buy a copy of "the pricess bride" that I talked myself out of the other day (I've never read it). Then I'm hitting the farmers market and then relaxing at home for the foreseeable future. Enjoy your weekend!

I'm finally getting a quiet weekend where I don't have to go anywhere. I plan on finishing this week's to-do list, and then Saturday night a friend and I are having our weekly anime night. We're watching Demon Slayer. Then Sunday I want to watch The Amazing Mr. X from 1948.

We will be doing stuff around the house. One kids has a birthday party in the afternoon. Start meal planning for next week so we can do our big shop on Sunday.

Convincing myself to get going on a TTRPG I've been wanting to write T_T. Motivation is hard.

[–] Rekorse@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

If it helps there are some interesting papers on the idea that motivation comes from seeing the results of your own actions, and not before.

So that means you are supposed to feel this lack of motivation, and once you start writing and the feedback loop kicks in, the motivation will come on its own.

Feel free to ignore me if that doesn't help but here's a link to some more information on the idea: https://www.entrepreneur.com/living/dont-wait-for-motivation-do-this-instead/232349

Halfway through finishing my basement, running electric tomorrow, then if I finish in time got tickets to a show.

Recovering from work this week. Getting ready to fly cross-country. Probably going to have to spend the next day running errands and going shopping before starting it all over again on Monday.

I'm currently rejoicing over the fact that I finally solved my issue with the computer speakers playing, along with taking a good rest from my graduation!

Two TTRPG sessions (Dungeons & Dragons in person, Call of Cthulhu online), going swimming at the public pool, working some more on my translations of German folk tales.

What am I doing? Anything but pooping. But seriously, apparently I'm going to be eating a lot of protein and minimal fiber...

[–] bipolarben@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Planting grapes and irises, then going to the local Italian restaurant for dinner. Tomorrow, picking up hay for the donkeys. Playing Valheim between all that. 😆

Trying to figure out how to stain the maple cabinets I built. It's been harder than anticipated... But progress is progress. One step at a time and all that.

Well, for me the weekend is the start of my (very weird) weekly work schedule so my weekend is pretty much just ending.

However, thanks to a recommendation at the Star Trek community I picked up one of the Star Trek books for my Kindle since they're on sale so I'll definitely be reading that!

Additionally, I updated my Minecraft server to 1.20.1 and nuked the world since I hadn't really progressed at all (the TL;DR of that situation is that I've been "working" on that server since 2021 - it was intended to be a new public server that my ex and I were going to create, but I just haven't had a lot of time or motivation to do so after we split up) so I'll probably be giving that a go!

I finally got a refill for an important medication I'm on, it was three weeks late and has been stressing me out so I'm relieved over that. There are plenty of other stressors going on as of lately, but that was a pretty big one.

Other than that, for better or for worse I'll just be going wherever the days take me!

Unfortunately I work on the weekends. I got Mon and Tues off. My boyfriend also works the night shift on Thur, Fri, and Sat night.

But tomorrow night I'll probably take my dog for a walk, and when I get back have a beer or two and mod my PS3. Been thinking about it for awhile. Started busting out my PS2 and was thinking about updating it since I modded it awhile ago, then realized I never got around to doing the PS3. Unfortunately I eventually need to get an external hdd for the games, so it's just gonna be the basics of modding it.

DM'd my 2nd ever Dungeons and Dragons game online with Foundry Friday night, then Saturday is some cleaning and fixing my back porch followed by some beer and Mexican food for dinner, and probably a nighttime Pokemon go walk.

[–] l0st_scr1b3@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Wooorrrkkiiinngg. I work weekend shift as a warehouse supervisor. Pretty much live there for three days but then I've got four days off.

[–] CFinley97@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

May check out some vinyl bars around me! I'd just read about these recently and am curious to check them out

Self-hosting projects! Excited to dig more into docker and portainer. Today was a database, knowledgebase, and dashboard. Tomorrow who the fuck knows but I'm psyched.

[–] Bishma@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Gotta finish planning the D&D session I'm running on Sunday

[–] drumdonuttea@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Picked up FF16 so I'll be playing through that, hanging out at the [small] local coffee shop we do every Saturday and celebrating one of the patron's birthday's, and doing a final walkthrough on a house we just closed on. Exciting things!

[–] HipHoboHarold@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I want FF16 so bad! Unfortunately the other day someone tried to use my bank info to buy some stuff. The bank caught it, but that means they had to cancel my debit card. So now I have to wait till my new card comes in.
