I think housemate made me sick. So, climbing Mt bogong is going to be interesting...

This week is being a bit of a roller coaster. I got a CPAP machine yesterday after having been on a waiting list to get one for years. I was so happy to get it! But last night was by far the worst sleep I've had in ages- the machine feels like it's suffocating me, and I apparently pushed it off my face at some point during the night, but the ridiculous app that came with the machine does not tell you what time you removed the mask or for how long, and apparently if you wake up and take a long time to fall asleep again, the app will totally ignore the initial period of sleep.

So today I'm exhausted and irritable, and woke up to excited messages from friends who were expecting the CPAP to change my life from the very first night, which was difficult to cope with, though of course I know they meant well. I hope things will get better.

i've been exhausted, but i don't have any downtime until saturday. (hooray, beach trip!) really looking forward to sitting on the beach for several hours under the shibumi^TM^ getting some reading done.

I got fried kayaking over the weekend so I'm staying in the shade this week. Trip lasted longer than I expected and the sunscreen got washed off when we had to portage. Going to get some cleaning done while I'm out of service. Probably going to watch The Prestige while rubbing aloe on my legs.

Just another terrible week. Remember that post about the forgotten bitwarden password. I still haven't remember the password. I'm not sure if I'll ever find it. 😥

When depression is already so bad, this forgetting passwords thing is just another thing that's slowly destroying my will to live.

pretty good so far! have a couple hangouts scheduled with friends, some important paperwork to do that i’ve been slacking on, and a camping trip this weekend! also i’m pretty excited for all that. and i’ve been getting some time to work on my jacket project, which makes me very happy.

Some virus managed to wreck inflammatory havoc around some of my nerves and the right side of my head has been numb since Thursday, my ear in pain, and a zoo of sporadic symptoms come and go 😅 So I have been in the computer a lot. I've been working on setting up a lemmy instance and I also played in the canvas.

As for the rest of the week... I have been procrastinating on thesis writing, and I need to be done before September, so I am trying to find a source of will-power to force myself to write. But this infection is not helping me 😬

This Saturday marks the annual get together for my mother's side of the family, always held at my grandparent's old house, which happens to be in the next town over from where my wife and I live (everybody else travels for hours). It's always nice but stressful at the same time, with ~20 additional people who each have expectations of you. This week is all about making it look like we don't have a million irons in the fire.

Is it weird to reply to my own thread? Ah well.

This week has been suspiciously good so far. Getting things done, people have largely been nice, spent the weekend with my sister's cat which was lovely. I'm just waiting for something bad to happen (super healthy I know).

Shifting the pin for this week, thanks for posting this while alyaza is out 😄

I'ma be real, it's a mixed bag. A lot of things have gone drastically wrong, even one going so far as to make me unable to walk. Yet I've had like two things that shocked me and made life slightly more tolerable.

Mostly I just want a hug. Was my birthday a couple days ago and I realized it'd been 13 years since I've had a hug. Broke me a little.

Going camping for a friend's bday Thursday through Saturday in Malibu Creek State Park! Verrrrry excited as I've been wanting to go camping so bad, it's been a few years since I've gone and it's such a crucial reset for me. I think it has to do with growing up and camping a lot. Lots of memories to rekindle, lots of moments for reflection and processing. Anyways, hope you all have a great weekend!

Awful, sadly. Somehow i feel more and more alone in this world. It’s probably a joke from the universe “you’re gonna kill yourself anyway, why don’t I make it faster and easier for you”

(Don’t reply to this, I just need to let it out, not interested in reaching out)

I arrived in Boise this weekend. I'm here for the month then moving on to my next stop. Looking forward to exploring a new city, getting in some cycling, and meeting some new people!

Someone stole my identity, and the bank that they used keeps telling me they can't help me if I don't contact them with the email address I used to sign up for an account. Reminder! My identity was stolen! I didn't sign up for shit!

My week couldn't be better. Thank you for asking.

Taking as many naps as possible before going back to university.

I'll have to go back soon and I have mixed feelings about it. I am excited, I'm just also doing my best not to let my worries get to me.

This weekend I gotta plan my goals for this year. I'm contemplating studying abroad, getting an internship, or both. I'll also be hanging out with my siblings before I leave. And packing.

Processing the fact that I'm living in my office now. Bought some stuff I needed and fixed some small things like a statue and a lamp and so on. I hope I'll get back into first gear again sometime soon.

I've been drinking a lot, so it's pretty good. It's really nice to relax on vacation, drink a lot for the summer, and kill some brain cells. Also smoking more. Drinking and smoking more, for sure. I also made myself some french fries today, with grilled cheese sandwich. So, kids' menu straight out of Friendly's, drinking, and smoking. Week couldn't be better.

This needs to be pinned like the last one, by the way. I can't keep track. Please pin it and unpin the previous one.

damn this thread is depressing. my week is good! got back on Sunday night from a vacation to Colorado with my partner. Been catching up on work and enjoying being reunited with my precious baby boys (aka our two cats). now it's Friday and I couldn't be happier! Game night tonight with the pals, and then i'm applying for new jobs this weekend. I've been at my current job for like 6 years, so that's a new adventure to look forward to.

Edit: oh and ALSO we just finished the season finale for Righteous Gemstones and I can't stop thinking about Baby Billy's Bible Bonkers. if u want to discuss that with me in the replies i am HERE

Week is going OK, busy like everyone else, but some lights at the end of some tunnels. Going to build a Docker instance on the home server this weekend to play with self hosted Beeper. Very hot where I am but also hoping to get some outside time anyway.

Week is going well! Planning to get some beers with friends after i finish my 12hr shift today. Starting school in two weeks and kind of dreading that but I know once i start doing it again it will become part of the flow.

Sorry to hear so many people are having a rough time. Remember that you're not the only one going through it and fluctuation is a part of life. Sending everyone love and good vibes!

I just got a Llama 2 70B LLM (offline chat AI) working on my laptop. That is a much larger (smarter) system than I thought was possible on a laptop. It takes every bit of 64GB of RAM, and it is about as fast as AOL instant messanger on bad 56k dialup, but it works.

I think I also fixed my problem that stopped me from using text to speech AI. Now I just need to figure out speech to text, get a few billion dollars, and make an iron man suit.
