Despite forgetting my meds earlier this week, i have bounced back mentally and want to spread some good vibes!
So, to that end, how ya doing? Been alright?
Purpose of this thread, for the newer folks, is just to open up a space to tell us about anything cool you’ve got going on, or vent if ya got something on your mind.
Remember, you are loved 
For my own part, “worked” 85 hours last week, but got paid today. Am officially caught up on rent and my internet bill, gonna chip away on power and gas next. Once those two are down, I’ll officially be out of the financial hole that unemployment put me in and can pay back personal debts! Have an interview Friday for another tech job, so I can stop doing the AI training thing if it pans out (but I’d still keep it up enough to buy a nice amp head >.>)
On a not so great note, I’ve been finding myself craving cathinone stims the past few days. Fortunately, i don’t have the money or the sources, so that works out nicely. Another positive note - 8 months without booze!
That’s really all with me. Hows about you?
Good to hear you’re getting on alright.
Late last week, while sitting on the toilet the light in the bathroom went out. Lights in the the other bathroom were also out. Anything plugged into the electrical outlets also did not work… with one exception, a very tiny and very dim LED night light. Nothing else in the house is affected, other rooms on the same circuit were not affected. Biggest bummer was that the air conditioner for the bedroom was now not working and it was going to be at least 100 degrees F for the next few days.
Crawl around in the attic, slowly boiling my brain. Two different sections of electrical wire, on two different circuits, had a total of 18 inches of insulation stripped from the neutral and ground wires. One section had the ground wire completely chewed through.
Kinda got all panicky about needing to hire an electrician.
We said, “fuck it”, and did a lightening run to Lowes and spent about 100 bucks on stuff to splice in a new section of wire to replace the stripped out section.
Two days later and only one accident of cutting a live wire later (didn’t die, go me) everything is good to go and we’ve got A/C in the bedroom again.
Guess lots of folks are taking vacation days and I’ve got quite a few opportunities to get some extra hours of pay over the last few weeks.
Two good things so far… now I’m just waiting for the bad thing to balance everything out.
