Hoping to get caught up on chores, manage work, plan one social outing, and most importantly, play a lot of the Oblivion Remaster! I love that game so much, it’s probably had the biggest positive on my mental health in years.

My meds got upped, so I’m dealing with the effects of that. Out in the woods camping which is helping some.

I have a bunch of summer vacation planning that stresses me out to do

Work has dramatically slowed down for the season. I have an interview on Friday to try to get a second position to carry me through the summer.

I’m debating on whether I should call back on a teaching position. Politically it still feels very dangerous, but a low income school district probably is my only safe bet as a queer person right now (even if it will crush me mentally). I need health insurance.

I’m trying to quit weed and beer. I got some medication that should help me sleep. Things seem very hopeless on a larger scale, so it’s hard to not drink the stuff that makes me feel better. At least a tolerance break for weed - I get up to 200 mg on days when I don’t have work, and I think it’s having effects on my brain.

I’ve been making and distributing little art projects and zines. Maybe that helps with something in the larger picture. Sometimes I give myself “points” for everything I put out there. If I leave the house with ten zines, and return with none, maybe that’s a good thing.

My goal is to take a break for a short walk, twice every day this week - morning and afternoon.

I made excuses last week, but could have done it.

Going to try putting my phone in another room before bed. Doomscrolling before bed and just after waking up doesn’t seem healthy.

My wife has surgery tomorrow. Not sure how we can afford it.

I’ll survive, always do.

There’s a few things on my todo list that I’ve been putting off longer than most so I’m going to try to start and finish those. One is honestly just a phone call but it’s not going to be an easy convo

Get through to my boss that we need to make some fucking difficult decisions that are going to piss off some parasites, otherwise we’re headed toward an epic fuckup.

Just two pointless things:

• I want to finally finish my Terraria guide so that I can stop making lists and start playing.

• Started using a Lemmy app that has multicommunities, want to finish up sorting all of my subscriptions into categories. I might actually try another Lemmy instance again because not being able to even upload a profile pic for the first 4 weeks on lemm.ee is just stupid.

Also today’s mission:

• Find the person that sold me two joints yesterday and buy some more and hopefully get her number this time lol.

Other than that, all of my actual real goals are longer term and this isn’t the week where I announce something life changing yet.

I’m getting a new housemate soon so I’m going to meet the girl that might be moving in. Gonna do my due diligence on her.

I’ve got a few jobs at work I wanna get cracking on as well.

Also I need to mop the floors BUT I HATE MOPPING
