Old friends and their kids are coming to visit for about half a week. Haven’t seen them for a few years. No big plans: just hang out and catch up.

Celebrating my anniversary! Going to go do some fun boat stuff on the water. Have a nice dinner afterwards. Also planning a murder mystery birthday party for next weekend.
That sounds lovely, happy anniversary to you and your partner!
Man, you are all such nerds, and that's why I feel at home here. :)
I'm going to continue playing Tears of the Kingdom and hopefully crush pull day at the gym tomorrow.
I've never heard of a "pull day" at the gym before, what's that mean?
Oh, don't get me started talking about lifting! You'll never get me to shut up. :-)
It's a way to describe the "split" that a person does at the gym. I do the so-called PPL ("push, pull, legs"), split, meaning that on some workouts I'm focusing on the muscles that generally push things away from you (like the muscles of the chest, the shoulders, and the triceps), and on others, I train the "pulling" muscles (the lats, traps, and biceps). Then of course there's leg day!
All it is is a shorthand to structure your workouts so that you don't fatigue the same muscle on subsequent days. Hope that helps!

I just finished watching the first John wick while having a beer! Going to pour myself a glass of wine and watch the second one now
At that rate you'll be hammered by the fourth one
The Princess Bride is as wonderful a book as it is a movie! You're gonna love it 😊
I'm gonna be cleaning my apartment because we're finally getting a couch!! And I need to get the place in order so it's easy to maneuver it in. We've lived in our place for a few months already but still in box city... so it's nice to have something to force me to unpack and make it look presentable.
I think it was nearly 3 years in our new house before we finally opened the last box and sorted it all so don't feel to bad!
Thank you!! That's very validating to hear 😊

My husband and I have decided to start our own book club this weekend. We are nerds and both enjoy reading but he has limited time and I have limited patience with it because I had a stroke a few years ago and it's not as easy as it used to be for me. We're starting with short stories and we'll just read one at a time ad discuss when we're done. I'm hoping it will improve my skills over time and I know we'll enjoy the extra bonding. We're reading A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms by George R R Martin. He's read all of the ASOIAF books and I've not read any of them. We've both watched both of the related TV shows.
That’s really cool. Tried to do something similar with my partner, but we didn’t end up sticking with it. We tend to have different reading habits. I like to read one book at a time and he always has a few he’s actively working through. The timing was just always off.
I was a voracious reader for most of my life and it never occurred to me to read more than one at a time. was thinking of some other options earlier tonight for if'm into it this weekend and I finish the first story long before my husband. He has to work tomorrow and I do not. I have some options.

Probably hitting up some stores with the wife tomorrow. We looked at paints last weekend for the house and found them to be a bit dark, so we’re going a little lighter! May wash that down with some Korean BBQ and then probably spin up some characters on Diablo 4 with the wife too. Guild Wars 2 has had my attention lately too, so I may farm achievements on that

I'm getting off a medication that give me extra panic and anxiety so I'm taking as much anxiety medication I can and sleeping it out of my system hopefully! Fingers crossed!!
I've been there too, remember that even if you didn't have the medication to sleep through the weekend, YOU WOULD STILL SURVIVE.
Of course there can be a difference between a horrible experience and just a bad one, but sometimes the little phrases we can repeat to ourselves in our head can go a long way to providing peace and calmness.
I hope this doesn't read like it's easy to handle this stuff, it's not, but hopefully you will find the strength when you need it!

Racing a sailboat from San Francisco to Half Moon Bay, spending the night there and motoring back on Sunday. We've been doing well in the ocean races so far this year, so I'm hoping for a good result tomorrow.
Enjoy the book! I've not read it yet either, though I plan to some day. :)

I'm sick. So I'm just passing time on my bed, setting up a new laptop I just got. Not super exciting, but it's always fun getting a new toy.
Drinking, smoking, and trying to convince myself that "ok, tomorrow is it, stop drinking and start walking".
Maybe jump on a bike or e-bike? It's like walking but gets you further. Maybe ride to a nice lunch spot so you have a 'reason' to go?
Depends a lot on what your neighbourhood is like.

Finally getting some time to discover this site and getting myself used to browsing here.
If I can give you an advice: don't stop trying to get used to kbin.
For me, at the beginning it felt a little complex and hard to find what I wanted, but after some days it started to feel like home and everything now makes sense (except for the upvote button that don't really upvote a post)!

Visiting my Dad in Toronto. Seeing the sights with my family for the first time. Just wrapping it all up and loving the overall pride vibe. Happy Pride to everyone! Spread love... I'm sending it right now!
I will be continuing to learn UE5, catch up on some work, and hopefully feel better. Had to go to urgent care today for a appendicitis scare. X-Rays looked good so I just got steroids.
Nothing is planned because I was almost sure my wife would be in labor by now. So, I guess just more sitting around and waiting.

A few of us are going fishing, but I think I'm gonna swim.
It's my birthday on Sunday but due to my previous landlord fucking me over I am very broke this paycheck so no real plans other than stay home and be with my wife.
Happy birthday! Enjoy spending time with your loved one, that's a present in and of itself! Also, fuck landlords

Planting grapes and irises, then going to the local Italian restaurant for dinner. Tomorrow, picking up hay for the donkeys. Playing Valheim between all that. 😆
I'm seeing lots of videos of soldiers on streets in Russia and feeling uneasy.
It's the first day of the new Russian civil war.

Finally clean my space because it is a complete mess
Lots of streaming and calls with my gf
Downloaded Surveillance Capitalism and going to play Diablo 4
I'm finally getting a quiet weekend where I don't have to go anywhere. I plan on finishing this week's to-do list, and then Saturday night a friend and I are having our weekly anime night. We're watching Demon Slayer. Then Sunday I want to watch The Amazing Mr. X from 1948.
Our weather has been all over the place, so If it cools off probably a long bike ride with my wife. It it gets hot again then hopefully planting our butts in one of the glacial runoff rivers to stay cool.
No specific plans but probably a combination of Diablo IV and System Shock :)
watched a bunch of shows. finished black mirror. vacuumed the floor and thinking of how to make an analytics newsletter
Saturday afternoon where I am. But last night I went out for dinner and drinks with a few friends, tonight I have a 30th birthday party to attend, and tomorrow I'm playing dungeons and dragons
There’s an art festival I’m planning to go to tomorrow. It’s horror, occult, and oddities type of stuff, so it should be fun. Then maybe hanging out with a friend visiting from out of town.
