Had the week off, and I'm back to work tomorrow. I can already feel my mood changing as I think about going back. I think it's time to change it up. I shouldn't dread work.

What makes you dread going to work?

I work in a warehouse. 50hrs a week, constant surveillance, pittance wages, almost hourly conversations with your supervisor about how they need you to give it a "push". I've worked crap jobs before, but this is something else.

Ugh I hate those kinds of talks. It’s like they assume you aren’t doing your best so surely you have more to give. I hope you find something better if you decide to move on.

This week is my one week per month in office. I carpool with friends who make it more than tolerable. I actually look forward to in office time because of them. Last year I hated this job so much, this year is a lot better with friends.

My son went out to the city center on his own for the first time. Meeting up with his friends to have a good time together.
I’m proud of him, he’s growing up to be so independent and responsible ❤️
Sorry, emotional parent moment :)

Found out my street will be closed tomorrow for a festival, that should be fun, just have to make sure I don't have to leave in the afternoon.

Swam, walked backwards for 500m (until muscles burned).

Looking forward to cities skylines 2 tomorrow

Festival of lights... vanquishing darkness, and tons of food :)
