Better now that the site is up and running. Hope it stays - my week is already improving!
Bittersweet. I just came off 10 weeks of parental leave today and while I like what I do, a large part of me just wants to stay at home all the time with these adorable knuckleheads. It’s tough balancing out what’s important in life (them) vs. what keeps a roof over our heads and I am grateful to have a job that has always understood and respected those priorities.
Otherwise, the mental plate is FULL. Wife’s got some major health stuff we’re working through, potty training, and an AuDHD diagnosis for one of the kids. Just a lot happening and we need it to quiet down juuuuust a bit.
Not horrible! So I have been interested in HRT for a while and talked to my therapist about it. I kinda know a path forward with my doctor, which seems doable… I think? In silly news, got my Zip 100 drive working on Kubuntu 26.04 and Windows 11, which makes me happy, along with my M-Audio Ozonic through my Firewire card. I’ve been cleaning up my home on my therapist’s requests, so that’s good! Trying to take daily walks around some local parks. Friends want to play Magic the Gathering Commander, so I got some cards for that. Possibly going to a D&D Meetup group this Saturday! Things are already much better. Thanks all for listening last week.
Also, should note, I have never played Commander? I’ve got a ton of junk cards from my high school days long ago, so I’ll try to make them work. My friend just bought a new house so we have a cool place to hang out. Also he has a Tappan microwave from the 1970s he’ll give me if it works! It’ll be huge and really be terrible compared to even mine but it would be so neat to try to integrate into my life if it’s at least functional (and, of course, safe).
