I've not been eating healthily recently: dinner tonight was bred, a handful of peanuts and a few spoonfuls of canned green beans, second time this week. Otherwise I've been eating pasta & tomato sauce. It's also the second time I collapse asleep as soon as I come home from work. I need 8 at least hours so I try to never sleep less than 6 hours. I automatically fall asleep around 1am anyways, and wake up between 7:10-7:30 (my first and second alarms lol) during the week.

My boss doesn't want me to come in 15 min late and leave 15 min late (so that I sync with the bus), so I have to wake up & leave 30 min earlier and just wait around at work 15 min before work, and wait around at work 15 min after work just because ordering me around makes his dick hard?

Running on about 5 hours myself. Somehow I don't feel too tired. I got a plan for this weekend if the weather is good. I'm gonna head out to the forest and record the sound of me hitting a tree with a sturdy stick to make the snow fall off if there is any, or to just record a small set of wooden and leafy percussion sounds in any case. I may also return another day with contact mics for further experimentation. Anyway, that's the lengths I would go to acquire literal sounds of wood when I could just sample something off the internet. Cheers to another day

Update: No snow on the trees. But I captured some nice impact sounds of thick branches hitting dead logs. Found a broken off pine branch with some needles still on it and was able to record some scraping and wooshing sounds. Found a nicely sized rock and dropped it on a tree stump. Found the remains of a campfire and hit the partially charred log pieces together for a nice crunchy sound. I also captured some dry sticks and such getting broken by my footsteps. In total I made 18 individual recordings and finished the day off with a spliff and a beer watching the sunset from a clearing.

I also saw a deer at a fairly close distance. It was running away so it probably heard me messing about. No chance of getting any sounds out of it but it was cool to see one in the wild.

I slept fine. I did a programming challenge for a job application last weekend, didn't hear back from them yet

Wondering if they were serious in the challenge details when they said I'd be writing a feature for them.

Also helped build a new table for the soon to be new dining room. After a break for the last month or so, work on the house is picking up again

Garlic and crocus, and other bulbs, are beginning to wake up, finally! And a kind of wild mint I just made a root cutting from, and sowed in a pot.

Sleep is such a balance. Go to bed with the mere possibility of unhappiness, and I have unpleasant dreams, and interrupted sleep; go to bed feeling excited, and I cannot stay there.

I'm looking forward to starting the various fruit tree seeds that I have been saving since the summer--or for the cornelian cherry, since the summer before. I hope to finish the beds for them to grow, so that they are able to grow tall before I plant them in various successional habitats.

To prepare beds I will need to be careful, as the soil here compresses so easily: after I watered the wild mint it seemed as though I had planted them into stone. There are patches of clay here and there, although the rest is sandy-silty; either the soil in general has very little organic matter, or the garden where I took the soil is located on one of these patches.

In non-judgement and quietness of the soil, the path will come: follow it.

Do you smoke weed?

I’m one week off and my dreams are vivid and completely bonkers.. I’m not even sure if at all I like dreams.

tuesday OP wrote

Wow for me I start remembering my dreams after only a couple days sober, and then they are so intense, and often more nightmarish then anything else

sometimes medication will give me really wild dreams. dreams are difficult for me. i maybe have something called aphantasia, which means that generally i cannot visualize things with my brain. so even if i do dream which i probably do, what did that even look like? i do know i used to dream but tbh it was mostly nightmares so I'm not mad that i don't anymore.

someone left me unsupervised and bored in the same room as a set of clippers. I'm assuredly too old for an undercut at the temple but what else was i supposed to do with myself???

got stabbed in the head with 8 needles with medicine yesterday to try and help my daily headaches, hurt so so so much and today i have a headache still. i hope it works but it probably won’t like all the medicines ive tried and that one time they put stuff up my nose. at least my rats are really cute and are making me feel better with their cuddles. 🐀🐀

tuesday OP wrote

how is the headache today?

ratratratrat wrote

still there, but this has been going on for 3 years so I got used to it. hopefully the medicine is just taking some time to work, the next thing is Botox and if that doesn’t work, I don’t know if anything will.

bc i have to get up at 6:30 for school which is still very dark in winter i've been waking up at random times of the night wondering whether my alarm is going to go off soon and then sometimes being kept up by other random thoughts but i've been off school for half-term this week so i've been sleeping a little better.

6:30 is so rough for not morning people.

I never thought a break up would take 4 months (and counting)...

And everytime I need to be confronted about I just snap bc I don't want to give explanations about the obvious. I was manipulated, even gaslited, and my money gone. Not saying that I was a victim, I have my part in this shit show, ghosting them and acting like a shit friend now. I was naive enough to give it a try despite the red flags and the abuse, and my low emotional intelligence led me to shut down to any conversations or to be open about my feelings. Maybe my desperation for affection and a "normal" relationship made me surrender.

I feel trapped right now, they can do more harm to me and not sure how things will play out. I just have a call that destroyed any hope for a calm weekend.

Anyway hope everyone get their rest, it's important to sleep and get the good chemicals inside your brain

I should probably filter videos about the Ukraine war. Although, it's not really the videos themselves, it's more the legitimations of the portrayed violence in the comments. Fighting Russian imperialism is one thing, but every video of drone grenade droppings seems worse than the one before and the argumentation circles around the 'nature of every Russian soldier'. I get wars. I don't get arguing for dropping a grenade on people having a blowjob.
