Normally on the weekend we shop the weekly fliers/specials but not doing that atm so instead we've just been going on a ton of walks around the neighborhood. It's a p large and if you stick to one side of the street and follow the sidewalk up and down every little cul-de-sac like you're lost in a maze it's about 2.5 miles or 5k steps for fitbit faring friends.

We've just been having a quick jaunt after every meal.

We also got puzzles around, typically we bust em out in winters when we don't wanna brave the roads but works well here.

We already cooked a lot so if anything it feels like we're cooking a bit less cause instead of making some nice dinners out of whatever is on sale that week it's just gonna be simple recipes that make good use of what we have for a while.

I have wanted a gaming pc for so long. Especially because they stay good for like a decade at this point, and I could probably downgrade my laptop and use it for my creative poo poo as well.

But, I just got a job after being out of work since June. And that job was a 50% pay cut from the job that I had to leave in 2018 because my father in law was dying. EI was a 50% cut from that job as well. So it’s been rough and there’s some debt and savings to rebuild.

But, the world only ends once so maybe I should just go for it.

I might go hiking next week. Good social distancing there.

I'd have gone today but it's loving 29F right now in Spring.

Hiking owns; doing stuff outside is the only thing keeping me from completely losing my marbles argh

Speaking of, the other day I complained about the disc golf season ruined, but it's been gorgeous out all week and my bf and I were looking forward to playing a round at an out-of-the-way course that's never busy, so naturally it was pissing rain with intermittent hail today, cool cool coooool ended up rotting my brain on the computer instead and will try again tomorrow

I typed random avatar and this happened.
Mostly working from home, couple of meetings, some training, reporting and strategic planning to present to... no one I guess. Hopefully I’ll continue to have a job, but again I manage an entire region by myself so firing me means loosing an entire department that oversees 8 countries, so it’s kinda inconvenient for them. At least, I keep telling myself that.

On off hours, mostly games I bought but never played because of loving stupid Destiny 2 (a game I now hate thanks to a Gambit match where some hunter piece of poo poo literally killed us 29 times with a sniper rifle, making us lose the match with a score of zero) and its teenage hyper players.

Finished Spider-Man (good) and trying to get into Horizon Zero Dawn but it’s just so generic and open worldly, feels like UbiSoft made it.

Also, loosing my mind because I want to get the gently caress out of my house and freaking out about the economy.

I've been insanely lucky in the past 6 months so I treated myself to a new pc. Last summer has been one of the most stressful times in my life.

doing a lot of solo running

I always do a lot of solo running, but now it's the core event of my day not just an adjunct. Trying to stick to somewhat less trafficked routes, though the risk form passing even dozens of people on a trail (with as wide a berth as possible) must pale in comparison to two minutes in a supermarket

I have no idea what I'm doing!

I'm in North Texas still being told to come into work. I work a Sunday through Thursday shift at a factory and last week we went from "make sure to wash your hands!" To full on lockdown in four days.

Now they've split the workforce up into two teams that cannot mingle with each other and only one entrance into this place is open. We have to come in, sit down for ten minutes, then take our tempurature before being allowed into the building proper.

I am waiting for this place to have a temporary shutdown because I want to paint the rest of my closets at home and play with my cats more AND catch up on posting in some threads!

Edit: They set the coffee vending machines to free vend so we are all wired :coffee:

Yeah they started doing the temperature thing at work. It's completely insane. Our boss is wearing a mask around, just a particulate mask. Totally feeding into the fear and misinformation about this thing. It's pretty frustrating. At least we still have pizza fridays, despite the cleaning lady panicking over the germs.

This. Going to work for a company where the employees are disregarded and marginalized as the norm, where we are getting no extra help from our company, and we are a vital link shipping out 10 million+ pounds of food a week that ends up in grocery stores and other food processors. We handle, in and out, well over 20 million pounds of food a week. Mostly protein.

We did not have enough people before this all went down. It takes months to even get a basic worker up to speed.

Into the Breach is pretty sweet.

I'd recommend Darkest Dungeon and Deep Sky Derelicts but they are somewhat different if also rogue-like-likes.
Or slay the spire, god knows I've spent some sick days entirely playing it.
