Nice
I finished classes from my master’s, and presented the last test. Still have a final homework to do and prepare my graduation paper. But at last my Sundays are free again.
That’s great! What’s your masters in?
Thanks, in actuarial sciences. I already have a degree in it but the last year and half of college were during the pandemic and I felt there were some things I didn’t properly learned.
I had to Google what that is. You sound very clever.
That sounds like a great day!
I drove across the state and back to visit my extended family. I learned I truly don’t belong anywhere. The drive was long, through trump country, with billboards for confederate history month, and my family are maga.
I wish this was satire.
Also traveling as a single parent is exhausting
Weekend flashed all too fast. Still haven’t swiped the dust of my shelves, but it was productive. Wish I could find the time to get few other things done.
My day was awesome. Went for a walk this morning before a light drizzle rain. Went to the movies with my gf. Then we fixed dinner and watched another movie. Took her home and now studying some programming stuff.
I accidentally deleted my root directory then botched the backup of my home directory by failing to copy my config files over then failed to check that before overwriting the SSD with my backups on it. I have learned many hard lessons today.
oof
I feel down. I haven’t felt happy in a long while / few months. The danger of depression is there but I believe I’m not at that stage yet.
I’m down because I’ve made no progress at a project for work for a few months now. Everything seems to be breaking and out of my control, it’s a bit tiresome to deal with. Plus the Tariffs have derailed whatever FI plans I had, so I’m pretty much stuck here.
During lunch with my colleagues today some of them expressed that my home country is desirable to live in from a security and convenience perspective (from Singapore). But Singapore is also soul-less and boring, and that irks me. I still want to have the chance to live overseas in a cooler and more relaxed climate, but yeah with the job market being shit and tariffs ruining everything, I might be stuck in Singapore for life.
I went to my first Cars and Coffee today, and then got into a very minor accident with my Miata this evening. Barely a scratch, thankfully. Someone slowly crept into the back of me with their jeep Renegade at a stop.
The good - Helped my son move, which sucks because i have a bad shoulder from a bike accident recently, but there were 5 of us (family) so i was able to stick to lighter items. Was nice to spend time together and support him. He’s been with us for the last 3 months and i know he’s ready to get back into his own space. Exhausted and sore, but feeling good for him. Also, have some restaurant gift cards, so I’m hoping for a cheap date tomorrow.
The bad - i have a cat that will not use a litter box and cleaning the floor beside/under the box every fucking day is making me crazy! Also, have a bunch of work to get done before Monday because I’ve been slacking.
Participated in civics in a very uplifting way. Hopefully it will make the papers tomorrow :)
Good :) I went to a protest!
What were you protesting?
I was protesting the recent illegal deportations. It was the #handsoff protest so there were plenty of different causes.
Nice, keep up!
Would’ve been better without all the rain.
Good enough 🙏
So-so. Trying to get some electronics working but they’re being stubborn. Had to take a lot of frustration breaks.
Great! My cousin and his daughter came over to watch my team win a spot in the national championship.
Normal day.
Some things made me nervous because I need to make a big decision soon. But I also got this afternoon (CET here) free when I was expecting to have it occupied so that’s nice.
