  5. Go me.

    I woke up somewhat anxious and sad, my usual oh-woe-is-me-why-didn't-I-spend-my-life-differently.

    But I've actually managed to self-soothe myself, and get my head into a more responsible and self-loving state. I'm definitely learning how to do this (finally!... after, what, decades...). Better late than never.

    The past is past. I can't change it. And honestly a lot of my life was pretty damn good.

    And I choose to be present, here, now, and make choices in this moment that take me on the path I desire.

  6. Holy shit, I am excited! A piece of crap laminate countertop section is arriving today after Home Depot’s “design” team took more than a month to get it together (they’re the only ones with the matching laminate). It’s a fucking rectangle with one beveled edge. #adulting

  7. Successfully sent my best friend thier birthday present - only 3 weeks late this time.

    😶

    [I fail at Adulting. I fail ~so incredibly hard~]

  8. 我竟然能在同一个(类似的)坑上栽两次……刚发现 401k + mega backdoor + brokerage link 有一样的问题…… :ablobcatknitsweats: :speechless: 下午得再搞一下 liquidate + transfer back + rollover to Roth IRA :faceplam_startrek:
    TLDR IRA 和 401k 这种账户里永远不要把 pre tax 和 after tax 的钱放在一个坑里

  14. My 93 year old mother is in a memory care unit in northern NJ.

    She gets a little fidgety, and keeps turning off the Google video device I'd been using for years (since the pandemic, really, to check in on her. Frustrating.

    I thought about this, and decided to return to the "tools of the ancients." Today, I wrote her a letter, and posted it. I'm not sure she'll be able to write back, but this will be a way of hugging her, still.

  15. It's sometimes easier to herd cats than get five adults in a room to play a session of D&D.

  16. Too lazy to make lunch. Had a small bag of Takis Fuego instead. Anything spicy is good in my book, though I wish it had been spicier.

  17. Adulting 101 heute:

    Wenn jemensch mir sagt, dass mein Kuchen total toll aussieht, dann sage ich brav "Danke!" und versuche das anzunehmen und nicht kleinzureden, als ob ich gar nix geleist et hab.
    (Puh.. ey... ich find dafür hab' n Fleißbienchen und n Stück Kuchen verdient!)

  18. I’ve been doing some cleaning and rearranging. For the time being we don’t need two large, cozy crates and 4 additional dog beds scattered around the house for the time being. It helps my grief to have them collapsed and stored out of the way.

    However, I happened to see the colony of dust jackalopes behind the headboard! They are so far beyond bunny, absolutely have gone cryptid! Yikes, I cannot unsee the Horror!

    I did not take photos. Instead I slammed a shot of liquid Benadryl (faster acting) and grabbed cleaning supplies. I can see the wall again. My back has opinions, but I referred back to the first glimpse and asked it to settle down.

    Now to get to the planned adulting. Cleaning off the ceiling fan blades and changing the bed linens. Oh, and putting stuff back on the headboard; apologies to my wife for her future confusion!

  19. The Myth of the Adult Friend Group

    "This points to a mismatch between expectation and reality. The cultural ideal of a cohesive friend group may be harder to sustain than we imagine. In practice, emotional well-being often depends on maintaining a few reliable, intimate relationships. That may help explain why many adults naturally gravitate towards one-on-one, or dyad friendships."

  25. colonoscopy done, uneventful, great nurse who was also originally from Massachusetts and we had a mini-bond over a lot of things.

    They only used sedative so I wasn't ever fully out. So I'm a tiny bit groggy and tired now (mainly from the nap I took after!) but fine

    apparently they snagged one polyp so we'll have to see what the biopsy is for that
