Wow thanks for asking! Apparently I grabbed the wrong kind of contact solution because my eyes turned bright red this weekend after I started using it and are only slowly going back to normal. I’m a mental health crisis clinician and 100% thought I was going to listen to someone blow his own head off or get killed by the cops yesterday, but it ended up just being a bb gun and everyone turned out alive, so that was pretty great. (The outcome not the situation to begin with obviously) If you live in the USA call 988 for mental health emergencies!
bah. its just work stuff. higher ups saying stuff and when I broke in to correct/clarify I got reprimanded later. Mostly annoyed because I have enough personal things that I like to make it a point to enjoy every second I can. Sorta a vicious cycle as then I get upset about being upset.
Started off with a 40 km there-and-back walk from my home to a town on the outskirts of my city on Sunday. One of the weird little goals on my bucket list, been riding that high through the rest of my week so far.
I got a new used lawnmower this week and a post hole digger for my tractor which will be fun to play with. I got the mower stuck a couple of times because parts of my yard are a swampy mess but it’s easy enough to rescue with the aforementioned tractor.
On a more sour note, I’m probably going to lose my job today which sucks, I have a history of mental health issues and my job requires me to carry a pistol, I thought I had the fortitude to not think about it being there but I don’t. I talked to a doctor about my issues carrying and my ability to carry was revoked so out the door I go.
Other than a rather extreme level of boredom with work and life afterward, it is going just fine.
I don’t know when life got like this… I’m saving and budgetting so hard there isn’t much wiggle room for anything else. Saving up for a house and all that entails is such a pain.
I have a few extra expenses at the moment which are basically eating up that fun money and I’m still recovering from a year of my SO being careless with our credit card.
Also, it’s not like I’m doing the ‘broke college student’ lifestyle, I do fairly well for myself and do get to indulge in some lavishness here and there. It’s just the mindset of each dollar spent that way is another one I need to earn later that really drags everything else down. My main issue is that I don’t really leave the house except for work, food, or other errands. Anything of that nature is a bit too large of a dent for me to even want to do without feeling buyer’s remorse afterward.
On the plus side I thought today was Tuesday, so I have that going for me.
I’m saving about 1k a month. Which means I should be in the positive in another 5 months, and back to house ready in 15. There are two free weeks in a year though, so that helps with the bill cycles.
That’s awesome! I don’t know what your region is, but it sounds like the Canadian (and US?) economy may be slowing down, so perhaps house prices will fall a bit by the time you’re ready to look.
