    Haven’t had a smoke or vape in more than a week now. I know I’m not out of the woods yet but this is a big achievement for me.

      Good for you. Quitting nicotine is fucking hard. I quit smoking over a decade ago, but I finally got completely off nicotine products just last year.

      Just some advice that helped me: keep a zero nic vape around so if you’re out drinking (or some other situation where your willpower is low) and find yourself needing to vape you have one that you can hit without backsliding with nicotine. Otherwise you’re going to find yourself hitting a buddy’s vape loaded with 50mg nic salts or something, and you’ll be back to square one.

        That might help me out. I’ve tried to quit vaping so many times but I keep going back while drinking. I live a 2 minute walk from 2 different vape stores and disposable vapes are so easy to talk myself into buying

    You know how you get electric cars? Know how you get electric bikes?

    You get electric boats now!!!

    Currently floating about on one on an alpine lake and it’s completely silent and nature is just fuckin amazing so why disturb it. Just trundled past a duck family and they barely moved

      There’s a lake near where I live that doesn’t allow gas boats. It’s electric or manually paddles only. It’s very nice how quiet it is out there.

    My new mattress is getting delivered tomorrow. I’ve been sleeping on a cheap crappy Ikea mattress for years, and I just couldn’t ignore how bad it is anymore. Hopefully with the new one I’ll finally be able to sleep longer than six hours without waking up feeling like I’ve been in a fight.

    Unironically the republican primary debate. My favorite part of any election season is when they drag a bunch of these clowns out of the woodwork and we get to watch them slaughter each other (verbally) over the course of six months like teenagers in an 80’s movie. Too bad the fascists are always the ones that win.

    Quality time, spent with quality people. Getting to see my significant other for their birthday weekend despite the distance was great.

    I went on a vacation trip last week. We took the ferry fron Connecticut to Long Island, rode our bikes from Orient Point to the Hamptons, took the train to New York City, hung out in Brooklyn for 4 days. No car the whole way. It was awesome. Brooklyn is super cool, biking in NYC is the best way to enjoy the city. I am full of ideas for the next trip.

    Polaris just dropped their upcoming LP’s third track, “Overflow”, and it slaps as intended.

    Metalcore band from Australia, if you don’t know them, chek them out.

    I finally feel alive again. I lost my pet some weeks ago and it devastated me, but I have a new dog that came before she left me and I have to care for him and my chihuahua too.

    I also wasn’t sure how I would survive all the time I have to spend on my faculty (my schedule is horrible) and the lack of attention span I have, but yesterday I went to the library and studied a little bit, I’ve been understanding Algebra topics and haven’t missed much homework. I’m managing to organize everything I need and, even if next time I won’t, I’ve been helping to organize an important event for my career.

    Life hit me, but I’m recovering.
