Away on holiday and have immediately come down with a stinking cold. Boo! (Still happy for a holiday anyway)
It's going well. I just got my degree. I've moved, cat and partner is settling in OK as well (cat currently resting underneath the bush outside the door, partner in the sofa). Starting my new job next week, so now I'm just enjoying the summer, gaming and relaxing.
How was moving with a cat? Did you let them wander outdoors straight away or did you keep them in for a bit?
I know moving is something I'll have to do with mine at some stage and I'm so worried about how it'll go!
We've moved with our cat twice now and are preparing for our third. We're very lucky in that my partner's parents live in the same city, so we always take the cat to their house, leave her there while we get everything moved, and then take her to the new place once it's ready. That seems to stress her out less than moving everything while she's around, and she gets a nice vacation out of the deal!
She's maybe a little nervous for the first day or two, but always seems to settle in quickly. She also does this adorable thing whenever she goes somewhere new. She'll slowly walk along the perimeter of each room, mapping it out and sniffing everything, and when she's ready, she'll go on to the next room and repeat. It's really quite something to watch!
I'm currently on holidays in Lanzarote. Will be returning home on Thursday.
Not bad! Had my first shift in a new job last night and I LOVED it! It's just a part time thing a few hours a week but I really feel like I'm playing to my strengths in my job at last.
Had a bit of a wild weekend (happy pride!) so I've been doing my best to eat clean, exercise and take lots of supplements. Did my first spin class in years yesterday and it wasn't complete torture! Still not feeling 100% but I've definitely been through worse.
Congrats on the new job and on enjoying spin class!!
I'm going to a nearby convention for work for most of this week. The convention itself isn't terribly interesting, but it has been nice to catch up with old friends and meet some new people.
Looking ahead, this is my first proper weekend off in over a year, so I'm looking around for a good destination for a weekend trip (something I'm told normal people do!). Any recommendations within a 4-5 hour drive from downtown Chicago?
Oooo enjoy the weekend, whatever you end up doing!
I started therapy recently and after my session yesterday I felt really similar to how I've felt in the past after unloading a lot of my emotions in a giant cry session. I think that means I've unbottled those emotions in a healthier way this time, which is exciting!
Work is still stressful though, but I'll keep getting by.
This week is okay because I took next week off..
I can't keep doing this 8-5 y'all.
Take a nap!
My sleeping schedule is bananas. I decided to just give up, and I've been slowly going to sleep at later and later times. Currently my bed time is ~5pm. A month ago it was ~4am. :s

Beelated, you mean ;) but in all seriousness just let me know if you need any help
Beelated, you mean ;)

It is already too much. I am not looking forward to the rest. I am happy alyaza is here to share all the links to keep me from thinking about work too much. Thank you alyaza!
pretty alright! finished my last exam yesterday, and will be needing to find a job for the summer between semesters, so iβve been a bit stressed and nervous for needing to do that and just the future generally. i have one atm, but i donβt think iβll be able to get as many hours as iβd like, and tuition isnβt going to pay itself π

Got a job offer for basically my same job +25% pay. Hoping my current place is willing to negotiate a match though because going to a bigger company would also give me less freedom to work on what I want.
Waiting to call my boss this afternoon.
It's stressful, to say the least.
Pretty good. I passed my licensure exam on the first try and I'm the only person I know who did that AND took the test that others avoid. I honestly just wanted my life back whether I passed or not. I studied (or thought about studying) basically every damn day for the past month or so. FREEDOM!!!

I'm new here and I'm new to Lemmy too. I'm excited to learn and be here in beehaw, yeehaw
I am unimaginably sleepy
This.
Loooong weekend with a very heavy Monday. My mind is frayed after work today, but I was actually able to make decent progress on something that's been on huge stress. I feel good about that. It certainly isn't an engineering masterpiece, but it does the job which makes me super glad! Looking forward to getting it near complete tomorrow.
Now, I just wanna go to bed, but I promised my two youngest another (what feels like) ten million rounds of Smash Bros. π« π¬
As much as mushy as my brain feels in the moment, I have a lot to be grateful for. π
Plus, there's birthday cake left over from this weekend. π€ͺ
It's going okay so far, but my area is forecast to have highs in the 100s later this week and I'm not sure how that's gonna affect me, since I only really know how to dress in layers for work (I'm a trans woman working an office IT job where I do occasionally step outside or carry computers from one bldg to another)
Like, I'm gonna be wearing a thin cardigan over a tank top and I know I'm gonna sweat. Oh, and my hair instantly goes frizzy when I sweat. I'm dreading it.
Hello! Playing Tears of the Kingdom more this week, just hit 150hrs. Also bee-n playing BattleBit on Steam so that's been fun.
BattleBit? What's that? Don't think I've heard of it.
It's a battlefield style indie game that does it better than actual battlefield, very fun.
It's like Battlefield 4 mixed with CoD, with a couple sprinkles of milsim and presented with blocky soldiers..
That being said, it's a hell of a lot of fun, if you don't mind dying often.
iβm on my third day of a sore throat. doc confirmed itβs not strep, and i do seem to be slowly recovering, but ugh being sick sucks.
Iβm existing been stressing cause work project is wrapping up. I need a vacation.
Can you take that vacation once the project is over? Or are you trying not to think about it so you avoid getting distracted?

My week is going well.
I was planning to attend the local pride parade and festival yesterday, but didn't go due to sheer laziness lol. So I got stoned and watched YouTube with my boyfriend instead.
Speaking of my boyfriend, three of his Horror Bishoujo figurines came in the mail from Japan today (Chucky, Freddy Krueger, and Edward Scissorhands). He's excited to put them up and I'm happy for him.
Nice!
