Extra long weekend for me.

Sat birthday party. Sun nothing.
Mon public holiday.
Tues day off work.
Wed catching up with my sister while she is in the same hemisphere. Thurs back to work.

Rest. Little time to myself from a packed 60hr work week. I need to defrag my brains.

Congratulations!

I had such a good day, got a mega inexpensive haircut which looks great, had a lunch date with myself (all you can eat Indian is nom), walked around the farmers market and city library, and just had some me time, which I normally never ever have.

Gonna have coffee with my sweet friend tomorrow. And sadly I have to go back to work Tuesday after five weeks off, but at least I'm in the right headspace because I was super duper burned out.

Napping, Netflix, taking care of a sick husband, working on end of school year paperwork.

Cram for a test next week.

My wife is taking a certification test tomorrow morning she's spent like the last four months studying every free moment for.

She's normally super anxious but feels fine. I feel like I'm gonna hurl. So my weekend is chewing my nails while she's in the test and then, uh, "working out" with her since we haven't had time to the past few months. Beyond that, who knows.

Tomorrow I'm finishing up a game jam with a friend, then Sunday I'm driving for like 12 hours to visit with family

Drawing!

How many kids do you have?

I mean, the state of parents, whose kids are turning 1, is extremely exhausted, at best.

I will learn for my new job. A lot of skill need to be learn. I will use the weekend to catch up.

Do chores, throw people, cry

1,500mg of THC orally while I marathon Star Trek TNG (it will be raining).

I'm working with a new group of people in my current job and have been bowling, crazy golf and 11 too many cocktails!

We also work 4 on, 4 off so Monday is on Sunday this week.

A meetup is doing a picnic on Saturday so I might go to that. Otherwise just hanging out by myself. Probably some park walks. Maybe a bike ride. Video games. Frustratingly looking at tinder. It's so clearly enshittified.

Monday/Tuesday I have plans with folks that couldn't meet this weekend though, so that'll be nice.

Clean the house. Zoom meetup with a friend. Go for a long walk or bike ride. Finish reading a book overdue at the library.

Oh yeah: read up on best way to plant blueberries and a fruit tree. Been sitting outside for a week now. Window for spring planting is closing.

Tonight, zone out, probably watch Judge Dee’s Mystery since I only have a couple episodes left, maybe play some Genshin Impact. Tomorrow I need to clean since my house is where the ttrpgs happen and Saturday is game day. Sunday idk - I had a really good time working on watercolors a few weeks ago so I think I will try to fit that in too.

Sleep, drink plenty of water, sleep, eat, sleep.

Cook French toast for my partner.
Help her finish customizing the new PopOS laptop I gifted her. She's enjoying it a lot more than Windows so far and commented on how she realized how much bullshit Microsoft makes you go through these days. Win.

Procrastinate house projects and stuff, in no particular order: rebuilding the backyard patio (which is currently just a frame), preparing the backyard for paving stones (old aboveground pool that's gone), finishing the concrete side-porch (currently water curing, so not much to do for now), finishing repainting my office (missing a coat), sharpen all our knives, oil the new hammock stand, fight with the neighborhood squirrels, laundry.

I'm usually excited to tackle these when I have some downtime but I've worked about 30 hours in the last 2 days/nights so I'm a bit broken for now.
