      Oh dear, I didn’t know there was tomato for vacuums… depending on how it goes, this knowledge will make you either my new friend or my latest enemy…

    I helped a stranger at Costco load up a giant grill into his truck. I have no idea how he would have managed it on his own.

    Yesterday, I made a choice that was very tough for me to make. So three years ago, I had a best friend, and we both liked each other. Things got hard because my feelings went too far, I became emotionally unstable and turned into an attention seeker. So because of that, I then ended the friendship.

    Recently, she added me back. I thought we could be friends again because I felt like I improved my mental state in the last two years and won’t turn into an attention seeker again. Well, a week later, I was the same as I was three years ago.

    It was ruining my mental health severely. I couldn’t focus on anything. But I still wasn’t ready to give up on the friendship because she was a very nice friend, and I still liked her for some reason. So I refused to give up. But things got worse real quick, and then I decided to write a long message to her explaining why I can’t continue this friendship and then I blocked her everywhere.

    At the cost of ending all probabilities of a future with her, I feel much better now.

    Gotta do something about this attention-seeking thing, though.

    Over 2 calendar months without a drink today. Coming from 2-3 beers a day, previously. Did February, but told myself that didn’t count since it’s a short month, so now I’ve done March. I thought I would start drinking a bit now to “celebrate” but it’s funny now that I’m here the urge is gone…

    I’m going to Muslim wedding next month, so now I’m thinking I’ll at least keep it up until then, just to make going to a dry wedding easier on myself.

    I’ll see after that. I definitely don’t want to go back to daily drinking again.

      Same boat (started with dry January and didn’t stop)!

      I still feel good. Not sure long term if I’ll become more lax for special events but not for now.

    I just reached the final cut scene of Nioh where the main story ends!

    To me, the difficulty is OK and my biggest challenge is the lack of free time to play it. Free time to play video games is a luxury because not only I need to have free time, I also need to decide if I want to use it on playing video games, among lots of other hobbits, and learning, upgrading work skills. It was a struggle but I managed to finished it without feeling too guilty.

    I learned to play a cool song that incorporates slapping and fingertapping on guitar, but I re-areanged it to play without fingertapping cause finger tapping on my guitar sounded horrible. Still sounded pretty close.

      Wow! I’m still working my way to doing 5k at any time, and this looks huge to me. Congratulations! I can’t imagine having that kind of cardio endurance right now

        I can’t imagine having that kind of cardio endurance right now Even I was thinking the same when I started running. Now, here I am. I think you can also do it.

        I started with the target of 5k, once I reached that, my target was to run for 1 hour, then 10k and after that under 1 hr 10k. Now my target is to run a half-marathon.

          Thank you for your words of inspiration. I’m proud of my progress to date, and really happy with how running makes me feel. But I still felt like 5k must be an eternity away.

          Your words make me feel closer to 5 and even 10 k than I would have thought possible

    This week has been rough for me. My nervous system is fucked up for various reasons.

    Normally I drink one cup of coffee per day. But I had an Uber passenger whom I took to his job at a convenience store. He said “Can I offer you some coffee?” so I came in and grabbed a cup (my second for the day).

    That was Monday evening.

    I was then awake until wednesday night. I could not catch a fucking wink of sleep for that whole time.

    What the fuck, brain??

    Well, Tuesday and Wednesday I obviously didn’t drive, because I’m not going to put my passengers in that situation, of having a sleep deprived Uber driver.

    Finally Wednesday I realized how I could knock myself out. I cooked a big thing of pasta and ate a ton of it, and sure enough having a big meal knocked me out.

    Fucked up, but I’m proud that (a) I didn’t risk my passengers’ safety by giving in to the temptation to drive (I really need the money so it was tempting), and (b) found a way to fall asleep finally.

    I know this story doesn’t make sense. I really wish the way my brain worked made sense. It would make life so much easier.

      I struggle with insomnia due to bipolar. This sort of reaction seems familiar and atypical. If it happens again, maybe see someone. Good on you for staying safe.
