It's just after 10am on a Sunday. My current goal is getting out of bed. My alarm went off an hour ago. Time to get up, I suppose πŸ‘

It's 3am on Saturday night/Sunday and finally exhausted enough to fall asleep hopefully

Almost all my goals. I tried to buy some shoes. And I did! When you have big feet, not every trip to the mall results in a shoe purchase. These ones even came with a steel toe protection. Which I don't need for any reason, but now I won't fear people running over my shoes with a wheelchair. Which doesn't sound like a daily threat, but you'd be surprised.

I also found some candy I've been seeking for years. By total accident.

I also bought cheese sauce that I put on hot dogs

But I forgot to buy bread....

:(

I mean, don't get me wrong. I still have buns for my hot dogs, but I'd like some bread for my turkey, and chicken breast slices. And I probably should have bought cheese slices, and a big jar of strawberry jelly

Wow.....I never realized how many of my recent posts are relevant for my own future comments. I'm basically a walking billboard for myself! Which only grows my own ego, because I'm just like "Wow, I AM awesome!"

Eh, could be worse. I'm usually depressed, but today I'm feeling pretty good today. I accomplished most of my goals, including the most important one, where I bought shoes!

Which is important because my shoes were like 2-3 years old, and daily worn. They were falling apart. Somewhere in my history in the past week I even talked about that. I would link it, but I have too many comments to know how far back THAT is.

And you know what they say about guys with big feet, right? They say they generally have a stable standing sense, enhanced by their wide feet, and stsble footing......and that they generally have issues finding shoes in their sizes. Which is true. But today I DID find shoes in my size.

Today was a good day!

No but they were RNG based with low odds so its ok.

Yup, I did yoga this morning, making it my 7th consecutive day of practise.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Did Persian Yoga for the first time today. My butt hurts.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh wow, it sounds challenging? Good on you for making it through though!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

It is. We only did Shena and we didn't even finish.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

All the ones I wanted to do, yeah. I made noodles, did dishes, drank cider, took a nap, and played board games. I was supposed to go for a walk and play my drums too, but oh well. There's always tomorrow!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Not all of them, but I got a few :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah. But the bar was set low, being Sunday. Took a hike, poisoned some awful yellowjackets for the second day running -hoping to destroy the colony wherever that might be.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Urgh, no, I've got maybe six things left undone. I guess I can muster up some end-of-day willpower to do the dishes at least but damn.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I did! I got into work 2hrs earlier than normal, then went to school immediately after,then did the paperwork and made a phone call after that that I needed to do. The day flew by!

Now I'm heavily procrastinating bed because wake up time is dreadfully close and I don't want tomorrow to exist yet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I didn't finish everything I had set out to at work today, but the stuff I did finish was well received. I'm on track to go to bed on time, was able to exercise, and we cooked a pretty bomb masaman curry dish for dinner. There's always tomorrow for work stuff - consider my goals for the day completed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

My goal for today was to search for a new computer that is as good, if not better than this one. This computer has been so great but it is more than obvious that it is on its way out due to old age. It's the most expensive computer they have in stock, like this one once was, and I'm more than satisfied with its specifications!

It's still morning but some things have been accomplished. Now i just have to convince myself to go study outside in the afternoon and not seclude myself in the house.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I've been trying to do my laundry since the last 3 weeks, every weekend. I really hope that I can manage to get up and fricking do it today

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What's particularly vexxing about it? Is everything in a central basket

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah. It's mostly just my executive function disorder thingy. Plus, I live on a campus where the laundry room is a bit of a walk.

I think it's just me mostly trying to find reasons to delay it. Like I thought before laundry I should clean my room, but that never happened due to a variety of reasons and so on.

But actually I did manage to get some chores done today, so I think I'll do it tonight, hopefully!

Get a rolling laundry basket to, the Sterilite's are dope. Nobody wants to carry that shit lol

Might help if you have a podcast you enjoy that you only listen to during productive activity time. It makes it way fucking easier to coax myself into it if I know i "get" to have good company and content to keep me engaged

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I did manage to do it!

Yeah, I sometimes do try to cheat myself using some odcasts/music as a reward, doesn't always work, though :/

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I mean to do laundry today but instead I've crawled back under the covers.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

No. Im starting a big home project however idk how to start it. Where? Where do I effing start?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Yesss. Accepted my health limits and stayed in bed. Ate enough food. Avoided most doomscrolling. Good day.
