Mine? As miserable as ever. My little bro wanted to go to a little comic con thing, is just not my vibe, felt surrounded by people in weird costumes is just… Thankfully I was there for like half an hour.
Up and down. Depression hit me super hard, slept/read 14-hour days, but despite that, there were some great things.
Took the family out on my little 10’ boat and watched the downtown fireworks from the river. We were directly underneath, cardboard shells raining on us! What a rush! None of us has ever seen anything like it.
Been limping along with a shit fridge that barely works. Got a new one from FB for $200! Nicest fridge I’ve ever had. Going to be a huge project swapping them. Hell, getting it out of the other guy’s house was a chore.
And tonight we’re hitting Aldi and loading up on food. Can’t wait to have a good fridge, freezer and ice maker again.
Congratulations!!!
A working fridge is a great thing!
That sounds interesting enough.
Mine was actually pretty good. I volunteered at a stables on Friday evening. Watered and groomed some horses for a couple hours. Got a haircut on Saturday and my dog got groomed. Spent Sunday playing video games.
My weekend was interesting. Opened my gaming mouse to swap the left mouse button switch since mine had started doing random double clicks. Discovered the battery was building pressure. Kinda a pain because it’s still sitting disassembled while I wait for a new battery, but I’m glad I did find it like that instead of it eventually starting a fire when the package ruptured.
Oh also apparently some spiders successfully mated in my place and the spiderlings hatched on Saturday. I’ve relaxed my “catch and release, no kill” rule for spiders until further notice, though the one bigger one that showed up last night still got that. Looking around, I don’t see any right now. Guessing I’ve killed like 40 so far. Apparently it’ll take them a week or two to starve, assuming they don’t catch some of the few bugs in here.
Bro here acting like a lil bro with his lil bro
I had a cookout at my house, had maybe 15 people over, lots of drinking, lots of swimming. I just got a new grill for the party and it was nice to cook on. Today I’m working 12 hours which is annoying but that’s life.
It’s over 110 so…it’s just hot. Got ice cream with the wife, that was fun.
Lost a dog to lymphoma. The whole week prior he was mostly not eating, his back legs were swollen up, and he was having even more trouble standing up and walking. Saturday I woke up and found him under the guest bed laying in a puddle of blood, I cleaned everything up while my wife called vets and then researched an at-home euthanasia. He was 9, a pitlab mix. I figured the mix in him would make him healthy, but he died so young. I lost my last one to a bowel obstruction in 2020, he was 11 or 12. The next one’s 11 right now, but going strong. Watch the universe take him 2028, that’d be every 4 years right now…
Anyway, back to work tomorrow, so hey… the wheel keeps on turnin’.
Very sorry dude(tte). These are tough moments :(
I’m very sorry. It’s so hard to lose them.
Sorry for your loss.
Ngl this is one of the reasons I never wanted any pet after reaching adulthood.
Rip to the dogs.
We usually keep a 3-dog pack at home, two small dogs (25-35 lbs) and one medium dog (65 lbs). The big boy with the bassy bark to deter break-ins and scare away harassers for my wife when she’s walking them, and the two smaller owns so we can manage a pack that everyone has friends in.
Our youngest is such a bundle of love and joy… I think we’ll get 10 more years out of him, at least. He’s four. We got him after the one that died from the bowel obstruction.
It’s rough, but in a few months my wife will probably want to get another medium sized boy, and she’ll check the pounds. I think it took us 3 months to replace the first one.
You got to spend some time with your brother. He’ll remember that.
Dude I’m like double his age. He’s a teenager and I’m not, that’s it.
I’m 40, my siblings are 19 and 23 and 41. They all appreciate hanging out.
I don’t tbh. I have my own problems
Then why half ass it in the first place? If you’re double his age then I would expect you to have enough life experience to fake your enthusiasm, or to have enough perspective that an awkward 30 minutes with someone you supposedly care about wouldn’t be worth complaining about online to strangers.
I don’t, I’m anti social. And I’m always honest, I don’t like fake people or to fake myself.
Hey man, I hope you grip those problems by the nuts and tell them to f— off.
Good luck to you, bud. 🥊❤️
Ok
Aw. Well I tried.
? I don’t get it
That’s unfortunate for you both.
Sounds like you finally have a chance to be the adult in a room. Could be a fun, new experience for you!
It sounds like you’re not really interested in how everyone spent their weekend and want to vent instead. But on the off-chance that I’ve misjudged the situation: the weather was kinda shit, so I spent most of my weekend playing The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles on the Switch. Is good game.
Spent most of today on trains coming back to Germany from my 2 weeks Interrail trip to the UK. Had a great time there. Spent yesterday exploring Bath and climbing up Solsbury Hill in the evening.
Started GMing a Cyberpunk Red campaign, went to the pool, cleaned my bathtub.
Only understood the second part.
Far far too short, though did have a mates birthday so that was fun
Got the air conditioner mounted in the bedroom in time for the heatwave. Now to take a quick afternoon nap and then work on the fence.
Lol damn, my job is to go to comic conventions and deal with all the weirdos (I don’t mean that in a negative way; I’m a fuckin weirdo too) almost every weekend.
I was in South Carolina this weekend, currently staying in a hotel on my way back home. Then next weekend I get to drive back out this same way to Knoxville for a show.
Edited to add: STOP BEING SHITTY, OP. Goddamn you’re fuckin insufferable. Why even waste the time on this post if you’re not gonna do anything about your life?
I went to Vienna to see Kraftwerk and it was really great. Vienna is a bit shitty though IMO
