hello Beehaw, it’s a sleepy morning–and i did not get very much sleep. luckily i have no social priorities so this is not a big deal. currently reading a number of books after completely crashing out of doing that for the entire month of June. i think i can get about 3 in before the end of the month, we’ll see

It’s been a weird couple weeks for me. I was working six days a week for the last three months and now they’ve been giving me these random middle of the week days off so my sleep schedule is just wrecked lol back to work for today and tomorrow now but it’s been pretty slow here so I mainly just browse beehaw and mastodon all day. Luckily I get hourly + commission so if I see one or two customers today I’ll be happy. It’s been a pretty chill week I guess. 😌 Sorta depressing that my life is all about work lately though
Same old. I have an exam this Friday, just wanna get it over with so I can concentrate more on reading and writing.
Been a weird one, ngl
Been really annoyed by all of the beehaw brown outs, but I’m trying to be understanding about the difficulties of a growing platform.
Also been getting back into VR gaming which has been fun and made me pretty sore
I pinched a nerve in my back late last week and today was the first morning I woke up without any immediate pain, so that’s progress at least
I’ve heard that after you’re 40, when you wake up and feel no pain at all you know you’re dead. So far can mostly confirm.
oh yay! maybe you dehcnip it last night :o
decent so far, spent all of yesterday with family. hope everyone else is having a good week too. good luck on the book goal @[email protected] & make sure to get some more rest!
My dad is going through DTs and I’m on the other side of the world on a business trip. I hope the withdrawal doesn’t kill him before I get to see him again.
Not sure what DT is but I hope he can get some help and you see him as many more times as you’d like.
Delirium tremens- serious withdrawal symptoms
I’m guessing Detoxification from some addictive substance?
just finished two books today: I’ll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman’s Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer and The Greatest Polar Expedition of All Time: The Arctic Mission to the Epicenter of Climate Change. i have concluded that i dislike most true crime and that i mostly derive amusement from such books because they display how incompetent a lot of cops are. i would recommend The Greatest Polar Expedition of All Time if you would like to know about what it takes to do a scientific mission in the Arctic
I finished the book on Endurance by Alfred Lansing which was pretty amazing. TGPEoAT sound pretty cool, will definitely be checking it out :) Thank you. Have you read In Cold Blood (?) by Truman Capote which is supposed to have basically started true crime as a genre?

no, already have a huge backlog (400+, even at a pace of 40 books a year) so i have no idea when i’d get to it either lol
Lol I know what you mean. Looking at my audiobook catalogue gives me anxiety sometimes 🤣
I’ve read In Cold Blood for school in high school junior year. WOW that was a good and heart-wrenching book.
It was, but not just that I’ve read somewhere that the book managed to influence the jury who was hearing the case because it was so popular.
In short:
Very hot weather & no AC => window open at night => getting woken up at 5:30 in the morning by early morning trains => tired af
I had a really difficult weekend and didn’t sleep much last night, but I did sell a piece of jewelry that I’m really proud of yesterday, so that’s a bright spot.
Yeah. I just finished a book that I really enjoyed called A Day Of Fallen Night which is a pretty cool to The Priory Of The Orange Tree if you’ve heard of it. It really was a great read, but the pacing and chosen method for organizing the various character viewpoints made my skin crawl more than once. It was frustrating, but one of those books that I really wanted to read regardless.
There is once a book that I read through, because once I’m committed I find it very hard to stop reading, but it was by far the most horrendous experience ever because the author didn’t use quotes for the entire book and I had a real hard time following the dialogue.
Just finished also a couple of novellas which were a really nice and different from the more intense (e.g. action heavy) books I tend to read. They were the first books I’ve read where the protagonist is non-binary and referred to as they. It was challenging in some ways but also very good for me as well. A Psalm For The Wild-built and it’s sequel A Prayer for the Crown-Shy.
Writing styles can certainly make a break books.
That Meltdown book looks interesting!
I desperately need to read Priory! A Psalm For The Wildbuilt was so good, was short but probably my favorite read of the year! I’ve been meaning to get to the sequel but haven’t managed to find time
The sequel novella is just as short, but I was fortunate to be able to read them back to back. I enjoyed them so much and found them so refreshing in so many ways.
I don’t remember The Priory having the same pacing issues as it’s prequel, so I hope you really really enjoy it. And to be clear, I liked the prequel a lot too.
What is happening?! 🤪 We can blame Connect for Lemmy in moving this to the top level… blame alyaza which is more fun.

Good. I came out as bi to my cousin yesterday. I’ve actually been having an ok week. I hope things stay ok
I had a lovely weekend full of sleep. My bedroom is on the top floor, with a tall ceiling and no attic above me. It was a loudly rainy morning yesterday, so I just slept in and it was so relaxing and chill.
Today I got stuff done at work. I feel accomplished and on-track with my work goals. Tonight I’ll probably play a violent shoot-'em-up game (Payday 2) with friends online.
I need to get my tiny elderly dog to eat his breakfast as soon as I get home. My WFH partner reports Tiny Dog is a Tiny Butthead.
Update:
Been having a long week myself. I could hardly sleep the last two days and work has been insanely busy. I’ve been spending my weekends doing a second job to try and get out of debt and get experience in a field I want to enter. I am so tired and desperately need a day off, but I feel like if I do, I’ll just be depressed all day. Good luck with your reading! I’ve been reading City of Brass and loving it, hope to get that finished in the next week or so.
Sorry my phone kept giving me a network error when I posted, then it posted like 6 times 😭

I saw you’re post about this today! I’m glad you’ve found someone who is understanding of your struggles.
Are you feeling a little bit more confident about the future?
