Got some real sleep in hate how I still feel tired though.
Just feels good to have a 3 day weekend to actually get stuff done instead of burning Saturday and Sunday recovering from the previous week.

Not Great!
Bit tired and burnt out bc roommate has just gone through a breakup and also woke up sick today. Gonna go get showered and try to fold laundry and enjoy the rest of my day best I can.
ten of Godās own degrees fahrenheit
Snaked both the shower drains in the apartment
Itās gross as hell as a chore, but I really like doing it once Iāve been able to grab a load of mess all at once
Welcome back Renkon itās been Extremely Normal around here.
Finally felt well enough to go back to fencing, still a little wheezy but felt fine the whole time.
Then had a person I thought was a friend start talking about how he and his brothers are invested in a fund that does the S&P 500 but āwithout the woke companiesā and manā¦ My fucking curse as a cis straight white dude is that others of my ilk feel comfortable saying the most banal bigotry to me.
Iām sick w/ it*
*the cold
we met a fox on our evening walk. surprisingly it stopped and watched us for a bit before carrying on.
Yesterday was supposed to be my first day at work, but my Internet was out all day because of vandalism apparently! My laptop was delivered in the morning; I luckily caught the delivery person coming back from the coffee stand to get cash because they couldnāt take card because everyoneās Internet was down. But it stayed down all day and didnāt come back until o dark hundred when I was asleep so I couldnāt do much except float along in an AuDHD āoh no my plans for this day have completely evaporated and I donāt know what to doā haze until I snapped out of it in the evening.
But today I can finally submit to capitalism. Yay.
yesterday turned into a Very Bad Time (though before was good!) and so honestly today feels like amazing just cause its not That
I remain sick w/ it
in other news thereās a red severe weather warning here for the first time since the system was established in 2011. no one knows what to expect. everything is cancelled! all the schools are closed! the first minister told everyone to work from home tomorrow!
got some conversation out of my students today! At my second school, where they are normally statues!
First day in the office was honestly not that bad. Like it wasnāt great, and I might be seriously scarred by my last job but beyond the two hour commute and being stuck in a no-fun zone it was OK.
itās been a miserably angry evening and weāre emotionally raw. itās hard to not want to lash out childishly or just slide into āeverything is terrible and sucks and awfulā mode
Yesterday I worked out for the first time in 2025 which was very good, but it also means I am extremely tired and sore today, ahaha. I am trying to get back in shape at least to the point where I stop feeling so winded and tired just from doing chores around my apartment. Today I think I am just going to take a nice long walk and hopefully finally get a haircut (if I can muster the courage to go into a barbershop aaaaaa)
I also want to improve my stamina. I walk alot, but I wanna be able to have longer DDR sessions before i get winded. (no I will not become a bar player)
Iāve been jump roping, but I donāt have a regular workout schedule.
Feeling thisā¦ My job is physical labor so I always just expect I at least shouldnāt be in terrible shape but whenever I have to run to catch a bus I feel like Iām going to die and recently the stairs at work have been making me feel winded tooā¦ I donāt have the schedule for cramming in gym appointments but I need to at least figure out some consistent at-home working out to do. I live on the bottom floor so I can at least do jogging in place and such without bothering anyone.
I wish I still lived on the bottom floor because I was probably in the best shape Iāve ever been when I was playing DDR five hours a week. I have to bench the idea until we move, which wonāt be for anotherā¦several years, I think.
I really feel the time pressure though. We go for a walk most days and the combo of āpartner gets home kinda lateā, āthe walkā, āmaking dinnerā, and āthe evening ablutionsā means that we getā¦maybe 2 hours at most to do what we want to do on weekdays without sacrificing sleep and that blows.
(today is payday, I am happy, finally going to get a Zojirushi that works here)
