I'm waiting for my wife to give birth! We're going to have a little girl this weekend and I'm so excited. It's our first, so there's lots of nervousness about it.

Congrats dude. It's a hell of a fucking ride but it's amazing
Yeah, so we just finished up and are relaxing in the postpartum room. My god, it was a messy process there at the end.
But I got the little redhead girl I wanted, so my wife and I are very happy.
Here's to firsts 🍾

house sitting two big goofy german shepherds. they’re way more chill than my last clients.
I don't know why the one on the bottom makes me laugh. Looks like he's got a wicked hang over and you're talking too loudly lmao
I was trying to figure out what that look was saying. This is exactly it.
i swear it’s the folded ears. such a cutie.
Sweet doggies :)
A friend who I've only known through the Internet is flying up to a neighboring city. So, my husband and I are driving down to meet him in person for the first time.
It's crazy that I've interacted with him for close to a decade without ever meeting him physically. Wish me luck!
I'm camping on the side of a lake at a state park with some family friends, which is very fun.
Thanks for asking.
Friday was my 40^th birthday.
Saturday will be spent playing with my new lenses, reading my new TTRPG books and finally playing in the Pathfinder 2e campaign I'm in.
Sunday will be yardwork and relaxing.
Currently drinking a beer in bed. Tomorrow I'm going hiking in the morning and to a country dance bar at night. (The latter is definitely not my thing, but I'm being supportive of a friend.) Sunday, another hike and lunch with a friend, and then I'm thinking backyard fire pit time with my partner. Monday ideally will be games all day, but we'll see if life gets in the way.
Eating ass and 69ing Nintendos
Other than that, I have no idea. Survive?
So eating ass while 69ing and playing Nintendo? Did I get that right?
Visiting my 6w/o nephew at the hospital. He was born early with a heart failure and immediately taken to a special cardiological clinic and I hadn't had time to visit him and his parents yet. I'm quite excited to meet the little guy.
Hitting the beach before it gets too cold for the season.
That sounds nice. We spent a pile of time at beaches this summer
That sounds fun
Been taking to a guy and hoping to go on a date or something. Pokemon GO and cuddles is a date, right?
Good luck my hommie.
Definitely sounds like a date to me
All stocked up on healthy snacks and homemade sun tea. Gonna play Baldur's Gate all weekend.
What is sun tea?
Tea brewed over a couple to few hours in the sun. Drop some teabags into a large glass container, seal it up, and place it into sunlight. Works best on especially hot days, as you can run the risk of bacteria if it doesn't get to a hot enough temperature to kill it.
Interesting. Why not use a water boiler? Does it taste differently when warmed up slowly by sun?

Seeing family and playing D&D.
Planning to drug myself into sleep, then live vicariously through Lemmy when insomnia kicks in, maybe write something of use to someone, while trying to balance painkillers, nightmares, and existential anguish long enough to get to physical therapy next week, without thinking too much about what I want/should do but can't.
I ended up starting Deathloop. I feel like I just started but I am apparently several hours in.
There's also some other games I've been putting off finishing that I might go back and play but I feel like then I'm just going to put off progressing in Deathloop.
I am playing a rock show with my bass guitar
I'm gonna install arch linux for the first time :3
Today I did a bit of handywork around the house.
Arch is a blast, good luck
It will be difficult to understand how to set up the boot partition, at least it was for me the first time. But I learned a lot during my first failed attempts... :)
Arch has an installer these days though which often works but not always.
Thanks for the warning! I hope I manage to learn as much.
Arch is fantastic, I love it. So don't give up... Keep trying until you get it right and it boots. :)

Another user who tried this, took him a week and it's not unusual. Just dont give up. :)
Visited my long-distance partner for a chill few days. Headed back soon and getting good hikes, and tike with friends.
Homework homework homework, then managing some flea market economics. Fun stuff (but unironically)
What are you studying
Primarily math but also biology
Baldur's Gate on PS5
Steamdeck gaming and #Monsterdon
Work! Just started a new job making more than my last one, woohoo.
Congrats, What industry?
The wonderful world of retail! 😂 But hopefully it'll help me get back to where I want to be, which is going back to school to finish my bachelor's in medical laboratory science.
Natural water-rockslide and Starfield!
Working all weekend in the boiling sun.
Two friend/family barbecues. Some yardwork. Playing some ukulele and maybe some Baldur's Gate 3.
Work, because I have to get a physics library finished. Next week I really want to focus on preparing for an exposition.
