Damn bro, that 'All Homework done' feeling do hit very nicely, doesn't it?
Absolutely right! It does feel great.
I foolishly agreed to take the kids to a soft play, in the afternoon no less. I can't even get the pain out of the way early.
What's a soft play? Also, since its been 5 hours, is it over? How was it?
Basically it's a kid centric entertainment venue filled with slides, climbing frames, trampolines (in this case), ball pits and soft.... climbable things. The kids love it. I (as a 35 year old with a lower back issue) tolerate it.
Kids had fun. That's all I can ask I guess?
Soft plays didn’t exist when I had kids. It sounds like fun to me! Why can’t you go earlier, do you have to buy tickets for time slots?
Yeah it's got a ticketing system and my brother is busy in the morning. I usually prefer to go early and then relax in the afternoon.
Be strong!
Quite good. Ran 15km for the first time in a while, then went for a walk with people for an hour or something. It's nice summer weather, 25 degrees Celsius, mostly sunny, with a nice bit of cool wind.
Hey hows that runners high been? Have you ever measured the shortest run you need to have it kick in?
Hmmm I don't really fully know what the runner's high entails. Generally it's a bit harder to keep going at the start, but at some point it's easier to keep running than to stop. That point has been anywhere from after a few steps to after 7km. Usually it's after about 1-3km that this occurs. This time around I woke up feeling quite unrested and shitty, so getting started wasn't easy. But after the first kilometer it started getting better and better, and I guess that after 2-3 km it felt really good right to the end.
Today we are working on potty training our 2 year old. 4/4 in the potty so far!
Well done! Are you on [email protected] too?
Yup, I’m subscribed there and a bunch of dads communities!
Spending my day mostly twiddling my thumbs. Been (for the most part) unemployed for the last 3 years, getting by on small projects here or there. I went to a couple networking events this last week and got in contact with a few people that said they're hiring. But, of course, I have to wait until Monday to actually get the ball rolling on that. Very frustrating but I just have to cross my fingers that this week I'll get follow-through.
Haven't been able to get out & socialize much post-pandemic due to financial constraints (esp. since I want to get married, and need to resume dating to make that happen). Would really be nice to get out & stretch my wings soon.
So I'm just twiddling my thumbs. Might write some more fiction. Might catch up on the few client projects I have, but one of the clients has gone quiet lately.
I'm having a quiet recovery day instead of a day at a barbecue with family. I hate that this latest bug is soooo difficult to get rid of.
Good luck with that!
Working a second overtime 24 hour shift for my second 48 on 24 off in a row. I'm fairly tired and going to take a nap. I don't get home until 6pm tomorrow since I go right to class from work, then have to turn around immediately to go back to work at 4 am.
I did a ton of drawing today so I guess I should be happy with that? A lot of it just restoring my old drawings and basically transferring them to digital to update how they look. It's going well so far but I want to draw new things more often.
I also got delivery yesterday and today. I have been trying so hard to cut down on that but when it gets to be after 11 pm all the near by stores are closed and I end up just ordering anyway.
Finally adjusted to my timezone after being on a business trip for five weeks. I never get jetlag when going to places but it always seems to hit me when I come home.
