The birth (or death) of a relative, the release of a new program, game, series, movie, the date you were dreaming about, could be anything
Very lame of me, but I’m really looking forward to the Conservatives losing the next British General Election.
Not from the UK but excited for that too. Asking just out of curiosty because I’m not too informed on the matter, do you really like the labour program or just happy to see conservatives kicked out?
Also I was thinking we should stop calling them conservatives and start calling them retrogrades since (at least in my country) they want to strip people of acquired rights making us go back in time.
I am actually excited for the Labour programme, though I realise I’m in the minority! The lack of enthusiasm is mainly because people have so little faith things will actually get better and partly because Labour haven’t always been great at communicating why they’ve made (IMO necessary) changes to their policies.
Agree with you about conservatives, but that has always been the problem with conservatism, unfortunately.
I think “regressives” is suitable term.
I’ve been working every day since January. Every weekday, every weekend day, every day. But finally on June 15th I’ll be down to one remote job and can go sailing for a few weeks straight. I’ve finally sort of got my finances in reasonable shape, I’ve paid off my car, and have a little breathing room.
That’s awesome! I commend people who can work nonstop like that. I hope you enjoy your well deserved break!
Hmm. I just realized I haven’t been excited about anything in a long time.
That sucks.
I would try to be excited for you, but I am too tired from life.
My reaction when reading the post’s title: nothing.
I am not tired.
I had a similar realization recently. When I was younger I’d be excited for something for months at a time, but now that I’m older I can’t really look forward to something until it’s right there.
I’ve been trying to look forward to small things lately, even if it’s something small I’m doing for myself like a nice dinner. It helps
Going home. I’m at some weekend festival to support a hobby my husband has become very passionate about. I’m incredibly happy for him and love that he’s found this but it’s just not my thing and I want to go home. Also some asshole at a party last night said something stupid to me to make me feel unnecessarily unwelcome and I really shouldn’t be letting it affect me. Anywho
ETA I also really miss my dogs!

Fuck that guy. He’s the problem, not you. Try to look at it from that perspective and you may ease your mind a little.
Who does that? It’s horrible to treat someone like that.
Thank you! I really appreciate that and needed to hear it :)
My wife is next to me, holding me in her arms while she sleeps. I am excited for her to wake up naturally and then we will go get bagels from our favorite bagel place.
That’s wonderful. My wife and I are similarly close and I find myself constantly looking forward to spending time together.
BIL got the Slay the Spire board game the other day. We played Act 1, hoping to beat Act 2 at some point this weekend. Pretty enjoyable playing the game in a cooperative fashion.
The day I finally move to Belgium.
Unfortunately that day is still pretty far away from today. At least 5 years far away.
I’m curious, why the holdup, why not move there asap?
A little something called visa restrictions is what’s preventing me from going there immediately.
No offense but why would you intentionally move to Belgium lol
I think it suits me the most out of every western European country. Not to mention being the queer person that I am, I’d like to go somewhere where I’d be accepted.
Also, I’m a Moroccan that has so much trouble fitting into Moroccan society. I genuinely don’t feel attached to my country of origin at all, contrary to the “Moroccans” that live in Belgium today, no wonder why everyone in there is sick of them.
I even use a Flemish sounding username online just because it’s funny (the “Resol van Lemmy” bit)
I did a trip there once and was surprised how much I didn’t like that country, the beer is good but it just seemed like a much inferior Netherlands ha
I think it’s time for me to utter my favorite French proverb: “chacun a sa façon de rire” which translates to “everyone has their way of laughing”
Yeah, I know Belgium isn’t for everyone. It will never be for everyone. Nothing is for everyone.
Ghent was fucking awesome though
The inevitable end of capitalism
A long weekend to rest. I had a hysterectomy on the 1st and went back to work last week and by last night I was so sore. I’m feeling a lot better overall but sitting up for 8 hours a day was a lot harder than I expected. Having 3 days where I can lay down when I need to is really nice. Plus, it’s supposed to be really nice out, so maybe I’ll do some of the resting in my hammock.
Good to hear you’re healing up well! My significant other is going to have the same procedure done shortly and it’s good to hear of overall timelines of healing and what to expect.
If it’s laparoscopic, it shouldn’t be too bad. I spent pretty much the whole first week in bed napping off and on, other than short walks every couple of hours. The second week, I worked from home (still in bed) and had to lay down for a few minutes here and there, but felt a lot better. With ice packs and rest, I only needed to take anything for pain the first 4-ish days and then occasionally when I pushed myself a little too hard, and I never needed anything stronger than advil/tylenol.
The only thing I wish I’d done was either taking higher doses of stool softeners or taking a laxative sooner - it’s unpleasant to talk about but trust me when I say your SO really doesn’t want to go several days without pooping when you can’t really push without feeling like you’re going to tear something important.
I just got a new immersion blender.
Milkshakes and vindaloo :)
I’m building a new PC soon and today I’m trying some psychedelic mushrooms for the first time.
Are you me in my early 20s? Enjoy it, dude!
Man, I miss shrooms.
Don’t eat anything if you can help it today. Also if you’re on any antidepressant you will have diminished effects. Take at least 3.5 grams if you want to “trip” at all. Have fun!
I’m going to get a fucking deep fried turkey leg today!!
Dinner!! 😃
Only thing I’m looking forward to at the moment is getting a new car. I don’t know when I’ll get one or even which one I’ll get but I’m saving
Catching some time to sleep.
