In short:

Very hot weather & no AC => window open at night => getting woken up at 5:30 in the morning by early morning trains => tired af

Dealing with my executive dysfunction. I managed to study for 90 minutes this Monday morning, and I tried to continue that same afternoon, but I couldn't do more than 30 minutes.

I need to put my head in order to avoid those situations, but I can't.

I've been playing Tears of the Kingdom a lot which is great!

But today I'm suddenly feeling pretty sad. I have really bad executive dysfunction and ADHD and there's a lot of things I want to draw. There's Art Fight and also this July art prompt list for a fandom I really want to do some art for, but I don't know if I have the time or motivation to do it. Not to mention there's an art commission that I haven't finished and they've been waiting a while. They have been so patient but I've been planning to get it done this summer and it feels like it's almost over. And like, I have hobbies outside of drawing so that makes it harder.

Also r/place starts today. I loved r/place last year. It was incredible to participate in and see. But all the shit Reddit has pulled and how bitter I feel towards it has really put a damper on it and I feel sad just thinking about it.

I'm also pretty bummed out about how...empty the fediverse feels in a lot of corners. Even the communities that have opened as a substitute for other subreddits are often empty or inactive. There seems to be a lack of a fandom on Fediverse which means it feels pretty lonely and even if I made stuff relating to that I feel like it wouldn't get a lot of attention.

Holidays! Almost the end of them and I am so tired I must say. In a good way I think but I will need to recover at home for a few days.

I am addicted to internet and mmos and I managed to curb it a solid bit due to holidays but it never lasts honestly.

Here I was doing 10k steps a day bare feet on the beach walks, generally being more healthy than at home and I fear I will slump again into my old habits of sitting and mmoing all day. Already bought ffxiv complete edition on sale.

Frankly lemmy is also part of my eternal crusade against digital addictions

Things are much calmer than last week workwise and I have a couple of days off this week thankfully. Saw the first of a few Edinburgh previews last night which was great (was in a damp side room of a pub so felt like being at the fringe already). Seeing an outdoor Shakespeare play on Friday so hoping it stops raining before then!

I had a lovely weekend full of sleep. My bedroom is on the top floor, with a tall ceiling and no attic above me. It was a loudly rainy morning yesterday, so I just slept in and it was so relaxing and chill.

Today I got stuff done at work. I feel accomplished and on-track with my work goals. Tonight I'll probably play a violent shoot-'em-up game (Payday 2) with friends online.

I need to get my tiny elderly dog to eat his breakfast as soon as I get home. My WFH partner reports Tiny Dog is a Tiny Butthead.

Been a weird one, ngl

Looking forward to my two weeks holidays starting next week.

Really dragging this week out knowing I'll be off though.

Have so many games and shows to get stuck into. TOTK has been neglected for too long.

Good. I came out as bi to my cousin yesterday. I've actually been having an ok week. I hope things stay ok

As a wow player, I started my 3 day weekend and accomplished getting a new raid mount, and one I’ve wanted since I started playing! I’ve only been playing since around September, but it’s a 1% chance of dropping so I’m grateful!

Wrapping up a trip to the Philippines! Having mixed feelings about going back to real life soon. Also, this is my first post here. I always feel awkward introducing myself in those introduction type threads, but hello everyone!

currently reading a number of books after completely crashing out of doing that for the entire month of June. i think i can get about 3 in before the end of the month

What books have you been reading / into?

Just learned all about EFI keys and signing my own hardware drivers

Thanks for these posts, it's a nice little reminder to check in with myself. Ups and downs, but mostly good. Feels so nice after a long day to relax playing the new Zelda. I don't care if I ever beat it, I just want to run around gathering mushrooms and stuff, it's so soothing for me.

It's been a weird couple weeks for me. I was working six days a week for the last three months and now they've been giving me these random middle of the week days off so my sleep schedule is just wrecked lol back to work for today and tomorrow now but it's been pretty slow here so I mainly just browse beehaw and mastodon all day. Luckily I get hourly + commission so if I see one or two customers today I'll be happy. It's been a pretty chill week I guess. 😌 Sorta depressing that my life is all about work lately though

Back in April, I took a reading challenge that I had found online to read for at least thirty minutes per day, because I really should read more often. I failed about twenty days in, doing the bare minimum. What have I become?
