With the world the way it is, it can be hard (at least for me) to see much of a future. So, for something positive for a change, what’s happening in your personal life, what are you getting, or what ever else is meaningful right now - what’s going on that you’re looking forward to?
There’s a new game upcoming that’s like balatro but for slot machines
The Superman movie.
Short term: new shoes! I ordered them online, they should arrive any day now. Looking forward to having something nice to wear in the summer.
Mid term: forging our wedding rings! We have a workshop coming up in a couple weeks where we’ll be forging our very own rings under supervision of a professional jeweler. Jewelry is a very lovely thing on it’s own, even more so when I’ll be creating them from scratch together with my partner - the love of my life.
Long term: our wedding next year! There’s still so much preparation to be done and so much money to save up until then, as well as the honeymoon right after that. It’s all very exciting!!
Getting out of Texas! As of Wednesday I’ll be heading north and leaving the southern US completely.
Figuring out why I’m sick! I saw a new doctor today. The staff was nice. Every single time I step foot in the office, my blood will be stolen. Exciting!
how long have you been searching? I once heard the average time of diagnosis is 10 years and I believe it. I’m on year 6 myself
For the most recent things that they’re actually taking seriously? Around a year. I’ve been sick though for longer, but they don’t take that very seriously so idk.
Good luck! I hope the docs come up with solutions as well as a diagnosis, and you recover.
Hopefully! Today was just intake. They took all my blood. Okay, a lot of blood.
That’s how vampire mafia works
See, that’s what some other people told me as well! I’m fine if the vampires want my possibly tainted blood, just as long as they send some of it to testing to find out what’s wrong!
After ten years keeping bees as part of a charity project, next year I’m leaving that and getting my very own bees. I’m very excited at the prospect!
Also, at the end of this year I’m going on a trip abroad for the first time since 2019. I’m quite apprehensive but still looking forward to it.
Building a fence. It’s really going to improve my life.
It’ll be fun to build. Look good. Contain my dog. Keep deer away from some stuff. Be a trellis for climbing flowers.
I’ve built a lot of fences.
I’m a pro musician. I was in a big rock band in the mid 2010s, and we were doing all kinds of cool shit. It imploded over stuff that didn’t really involve me, but following that, I went into a serious drunk-depression that lasted years and almost killed me.
I cleaned up, going on two years sober, have a new band together, and are about to open ourselves up to the world and start booking shows. It’ll be my first shows completely sober since like 2012. It’s terrifying, but I’m excited as hell.
Punk rock music has fallen by the wayside. Time to try and bring it back to life. 🤘

Graduating college next week. Finally have a degree to my name. Been a long 2 years of crazy studying
The day I quit my current job.
I’ve been with this company for a few years. I grew in it and had a great time. My boss however decided to take over my job, and slowly I’ve been going back to tasks I was no longer doing since I had other responsibilities, while he takes over my tasks and ruins what I’ve been building for years.
It’s been painful to see that, but extremely painful to see the mood of the team changing to the worse, and just having a sense of less productivity.
It’s a lost cause at this point. So I’m just looking for the day where I get to leave.
I’m looking forward to my plants growing.
The next Lemmy release so I can finally continue with my Lemmy bot.
A number of artists I like have had/will have shows here around Seattle this year, and I decided to combat the inertia by splurging and buying tickets to most of them. I always did love live shows (but damn, have they gotten more expensive).
I’ve already seen Eddie/Suzy Izzard, who was as delightful as always. Soon will be seeing Pixies, The Offspring, Josh Johnson, Demetri Martin… I think I’m forgetting somebody.
The Pixies are touring? What year is this?
I know–I can’t believe how lucky I am to have a chance to see them. I thought that possibility had long since passed.

Speaking of which: happy cake day!
