I’m embarrassed to say that so far my Saturday has consisted of reading and posting on various lemmy instances. Is that how I typically spend my weekend? No. I should log off, and go do weekend stuff.

I did the same, but I just threw in a load of laundry so now I can call my day "productive".

I still haven't logged off! Somebody help me! Good on you for at least starting some laundry.

Board games and video games and D&D on Sundays.

My mom thinks I'm cool

I think you're cool too.

I spend my weekend thinking about the things I should be doing on the weekend.

This weekend I made a video response to Gamers Nexus and got retweeted by Steve so there's that. That doesn't usually happen. Also wrote some code, went to Micro Center, and mowed the lawn.

Well, I'm here, aren't I?

Saturdays Clean the house; my thoroughness varies by week. Make some kind of single-pot meal that can be refrigerated and eaten for the next 2 or 3 days. Laundry if I feel like it. Putz around until nighttime, and then usually watch a movie or a show. Go to bed late, which for my middle-aged ass is like 11:00.

Sundays Breakfast at a restaurant with my wife. Someplace new every week. Finish cleaning if I must. Yard work if the neighbors are becoming hostile. Half the time I go see a movie in early afternoon. Existential dread until bedtime.

Prevent my 2 and 1 year old from killing themselves. Then I watch reruns of Seinfeld.

Meal prep, laundry, and napping

I volunteer for a local non profit building out business processes in the cloud. Super cool and keeps my coding skills sharp.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This sounds really interesting and something I'd be able to help with. Any tips on getting started helping folks out?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

In general, trying to get my kids to actually do something. Sometimes I go out and eat tacos.

Band practice, riding dirt bikes, doing homework, house work, playing video games, browsing Reddit before, now Lemmy. They always go so fast though...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Go see a movie, go to the mall, find a new place to eat a meal, these are some random things that we regularly do.

Stuff that happens almost every weekend: laundry, cleaning, grocery shopping, video games, or vegging with the latest series we're binging together.

Used to spend a lot of time in the pool every weekend, but we sold that house because I didn't want to take care of the pool anymore (getting too expensive for my tastes). Now we bought a house on a river and my wife wants to get a boat. I think I want the pool backπŸ˜†

Making music, playing music, cooking\smoking food, or eating out. It’s not much but it’s honest work.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

+1 Music making. Do you know if there's a Lemmy community for that yet?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Haven't found one yet but definitely looking.
