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
Gonna be going to climb Mount Fuji in 2 days. Super excited about it and looking forward to some time off work
Please share some pictures here :)
good luck, i hope it goes well!
Exciting! Please send pics if you’re willing to!
I recently heard a radio feature about it, they have problems with it being overrun by tourists, people not being prepared (it’s a mountain, not a walk in the park) and leaving their trash everywhere +___+ So please take care! And enjoy it must be an amazing trip __
Actually not as many people as I expected when I went. I know it’s not a walk in the park haha I been living in Japan for 4 years and hiker many other mountains just never had the time to go to Fuji because it’s pretty far from me where I am located in Japan. The hike itself was a lot easier than I expected and there’s so so so many rests stop with drinks and foods that even people not in shape could probably hike it. Definitely enjoyed every bit of it and wish I could go do it again.
That’s interesting, the article I read made it sound like it was a serious hike (but I guess “easy” and “hard” will mean very different things to different people). I’m glad you enjoyed it, it seems like a really cool thing to do __
My wife is having cardiac surgery right now, I am staying at a hotel near the hospital, working remotely, trying to keep busy and not think about it too much.
I’m very sorry to hear that. Hoping the surgery goes well 🙏
Fingers crossed that she’s going to be well.
Back home now, all seems OK 🫰 Thanks…
Yay!
It’s okay. I hit a new weight high of 129 lbs (I am 5’11" so hitting as low as 119 is fucked) but now the idea of eating even more is extra nauseating and unappealing. About to see my therapist though and they’ll be thrilled with the gains. Anyone else fucking despise food and eating and biological needs??
My wife has struggled with disordered eating, and it’s been a long journey for both of us. She is also tall and got to a really scary place. She’s doing much better now, but it continues to be a process. Keep up the great work and don’t give up!

I’ve been trying to pull myself out of a depressive episode. No luck yet.
Same. I’m spiraling and recent events have only made things worse.
I’m sorry you’re going through all of that. Sending a hug if you’re comfortable with it
Good. I came out as bi to my cousin yesterday. I’ve actually been having an ok week. I hope things stay ok
It’s alright. Just came back to visit my parents and just can’t help but think why is relationship so hard for me for some reason lmao.
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.
I’m guessing Detoxification from some addictive substance?
Delirium tremens- serious withdrawal symptoms
Ah, thank you!
i’ve been stuck in a rut now for a couple of weeks, so this week hasn’t been any different. i am in a state of living right now where nothing is interesting to me: no games, no movies/shows, no music, not really anything. i am thinking about buying pikmin 4 to help with that. i’ve never really played any pikmin games but it looks so fun
The thing I found that works for me is trying to exercise. Even if I got nothing else done that day, at least I got 15-30 minutes of exercise. Plus, in the long run, it tends to help with your mental health.
thank you for this advice! it might just be my issue. i usually lift a few days during the week, but i haven’t been able to for the past few weeks due to life. i’ll give it a shot & hope for the best
Massive windstorm came through my area last Friday afternoon. Had like Cat 1 hurricane winds. In the Midwest US. So it knocked down trees and powerlines all over the metro area. I was out of power from 4:00pm on Friday through 8:30pm Monday.
So it was a shitty weekend. I (and my brother who’s visiting) stayed in my apartment on Friday night, which was sweltering. Humidity and like 85F (29.4C) temps inside, even with windows open, made it miserable to sleep. Saturday, we spent like 7hrs at my company’s tiny office (we’re actually full remote) charging up phones and battery banks, while just hanging out and enjoying the AC. But we stayed in my apt again on Saturday night, which was just a bit cooler, but enough that I was able to sleep like 8hrs. Sunday during the day was OK, but then it rained again and got sunny afterwards, driving up humidity. We finally decided to get a hotel room. On Monday, after checking out, we hung out at the local library to work (I could’ve gone to my office, but I knew a couple co-workers w/o power at home were there). Monday evening was a little cooler again, so we braved the apt, and then the power came back. Even through Tuesday, there were still like a thousand customers in the metro without power. I think the utility is back to normal ops now.
Overall, it just a wasted weekend. It sorta felt like homelessness, especially when going to my office, then to the hotel, then going to the library. At my apartment, it was sorta like camping but way less fun.
At least I had no property damage or injuries. Driving around, I saw lots of trees on houses. I saw at least a few vehicles that looked totally destroyed since trees fell on them. So it could’ve been worse for us.
Spent the week at a work conference. I normally WFH, so getting to see everyone in person was kinda nice. Got a flight delay going home - no big deal, but I’m anxious to get back home to my dogs and partner.
Last week my gf and her friends gave me the chance to do something different, so I quit my job (on the grace period right now) and we are starting to figure law stuff out cause we are international
Best of luck :)
Thanks Buddy
Pretty much like the last couple: Not fast enough during the work parts, the weekend will probably fly by so fast it’ll feel like I didn’t have one. Rinse, repeat.
I’m trying to find a new job asap! Last week was really the last straw. I was hired for a technical position but for the past two years I’ve done nothing but punishing manual labor almost entirely unrelated to my job. I don’t mind working outside my job description but the reality is I’ve lost so much knowledge just from being out of practice. I hope it hasn’t ruined my shot at the right job. Its technically possible for me to return to school full time but I’m not sure I could 1) make the sacrifices required and 2) actually succeed. I’ve failed twice already.
I know everyone working out in the field wishes they had a desk job and vice versa, but damn I’d love a cubicle.
Dealing with my executive dysfunction. I managed to study for 90 minutes this Monday morning, and I tried to continue that same afternoon, but I couldn’t do more than 30 minutes.
I need to put my head in order to avoid those situations, but I can’t.
On the other hand, you’ve managed two hours of study this week, and that’s ok.
