Is my birthday today so I’m gonna have a gram of mushrooms and watch a silly dumb comedy movie with my wife.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That sounds awesome. I'm not in to mushrooms, but that sounds relaxing.

HBD, my dude

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Thank you! Shrooms are definitely an acquired taste haha. Have an awesome day

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Saturday I'll be running session 3 of a D&D campaign with some friends, Sunday my parents come over for some father's day grilling, and Monday I have off work so I'll probably just chill and play TotK for 10 hours.

My summer might be peaking here lol.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Not going to lie, that's a tall order to beat.

It's my step-dad's birthday/father's day this weekend, and we're going to do something for that. My MIL and FIL are likely coming over as well at some point to see my kids. Low key is the order of the weekend.

Planning to go out to the local state park and look for good boulders to climb. My goal for this summer is to transition from indoor to outdoor bouldering.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm manifesting tickets to a local festival right now which means I'm basically waiting for them to fall out of the sky and hit me in the face. I miss having money for these things! It's meant to be rainy anyway so maybe I won't miss much!

Apart from that I'm meeting a friend for some food and then visiting some family. I'm starting a new job next week so I might do some prep for that. Or I might not, I might just wing it on the day haha!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What line of work/industry is your new job in (if I'm allowed to ask)? Best of luck with the new gig, you'll kill it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Teaching! I've been in the wrong industry for years but I think this is where my skills really lie. I've terrible attention to detail and can't plan to save my life so office work has been a terrible drag. Teaching is something that really comes naturally to me, I love being at the top of a classroom. I know you're meant to plan loads for it but I've found even my best plans often get derailed and I'm good at improvising so I'm not going to get too hung up on the planning part!

Thanks for the well wishes, it means a lot :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That's awesome. The world needs more enthusiastic teachers.

Wishing you nothing but the complete realization of your goal and the personal fulfillment that goes with it.

My daughter has a new best friend and I haven't met her mum yet, so the girls have organised a get together for us at a local cafe so we can meet and get to know each other. It's kind of a blind playdate for the mums, lol. The cafe they've chosen is between where we both live and the food and coffee are excellent there. Apart from that I'll be making my weekly assault on Mount Washmore in the laundry, and continuing with my only occasionally successful attempts to declutter the house.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Mount Washmore

I'm adopting that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

At this point, I'm not really sure! I was supposed to spend this weekend with family for fathers' day, but my dad's sick with a cold. Prob spending it with my fiancee's family for her sister's birthday

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Cleaning out the fridge is priority one, it's out of control in there!!!! Zoinks!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It's Juneteenth weekend in Atlanta so it's food trucks, music, and booze until Tuesday

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I'm going to my sister's baby shower tomorrow, and then on Father's Day we're having a cookout! I'm honestly more excited for the cookout because there will be smoked brisket :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Moved into a new place, need to get some stuff for my home. Like towels, lamps, mat, utensil tray, bin, plastic containers... I'm headed to a factory outlet and I'll try not to get carried away.

Might get a sound system if I'm not careful

My new kitchen table and chairs will arrive next Tuesday, so we'll spend the weekend moving out the old kitchen table and washing the floor. Fun fun.

My friends have been getting into Worms WMD! Im awful at it and its very unintuitive, but its still fun to just get drunk together and fuck up the plans of my friends who know how to play it, lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's fun being the agent of chaos in a game with people who take it seriously. Makes things interesting, and sometimes you catch them with their pants down.

Figuratively.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Right? Thats my role in any smash bros game too, lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

SO and I are going out to dinner tonight. Tomorrow if we feel like getting up early enough we may go check out some local farmers' markets or garage sales. Besides that, no specific plans. Maybe grill some ribs I've got in the freezer.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Going to have lunch with a friend on Sunday, so he can draw me a custom token for my commander deck! Then gonna cook house dinner for my co-op that evening, since it's so dang hot I'm thinking something cooling like a quinoa salad

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'll be going to a motocross race in Mt Morris, PA. It's my home track, and one I've raced dozens of times as an amateur. I've gone almost yearly since I was a child. It's raced yearly in the AMA Pro MX series for almost 50 years.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I’m going to a Guinea pig show this weekend! I’m considering entering my boy piggies for the “Best Boar Pair” award.

I'm going to a game store on Saturday to have a mini painting with some friends in a local TTRPG group. I have a huuuuge backlog of mini's that need to get painted... It's real bad lol

But doing it with friends will help motivate me, which was the whole reason we organized it because they suffer from the same problem haha

Probably going to hunker down and code, if not visit the big city near us.

Trying to fix several things with Sopuli, hitting the gym and hanging out with my friends.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Mow my grass. Maybe work on my truck. Play some games. It's been a stressful week. Between my mom and I being sick with whatever was going around eventually leading me to take her to the emergancy room Wednesday. Now she can't keep anything down but otherwise she is better, at least looks and sounds better. Then there's just been lots of small things adding to my stress level.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
