Yeeee I just finished GG and was scrolling around Steam only to see that Get To the Orange Door finally added controller support. Been waiting literal years for that so I might finally start it tonight!
I couldn't beat your 12 hours in a windowless room, but 8 hours is close enough I guess.
Also tormented myself thinking about whether or not I really wanted to use Valentine's Day as an excuse to get closer to my crush, who was working a room over. Safe to say I didn't really do much of that
Went to my kid's school's Valentine's Day party and watched him play some silly dexterity games and eat cookies, later on after he was asleep my wife and I had little cakes and watched Scavenger's Reign.
Woke up to a breakup text, still processing that. Was my day off so I went with a family member to watch a trial they were working on, and went to a bar afterward. Been scrolling tiktok while I should be studying ever since. Riveting day lol
I made mac and cheese and took a nap and now I'm gonna take some edibles alone because unfortunately I am the girlfriend who lives in Canada so you wouldn't know her.
Took off because I was mentally unable to function and am lucky enough to have a good number of PTO days. Spent most of the day unconscious. Hoping to become unconscious again soon.
Went to overpriced Italian food with my wife. It wasn't bad but anyone with basic cooking knowledge can whip up something for 1/4th the price and have it turn out better, which is why I hate going out to Italian places. Also brought my wife a gelato after I picked her up from work.
Class and studying mostly but towards the end of the day I got my girlfriend some flowers and her favorite snacks and went over to her house. She's an artist and knows a bit about floral design so she arranged the bouquet into something much nicer.
Heres a pic
Oh yeah and a friend told us they saw a stray kitten so we went looking around for it as well. Unfortunately we did not find it
Being thankful the 2 and a half month (yes, the nearby stores here had that shit up the week after Christmas) stretch of National 'make all single people feel awful about themselves' Day is finally over for the year... until next year rolls around...
With Covid.
Visited my mom for the weekend, got sick on monday, called to check up on her... "Oh yeah I had been feeling under the weather with some covid-like symptoms all week, but I just took some Tylenol so we could hang out."
I couldn't even lecture her for it anymore, this is like the third time... She didn't even think to tell me this time. I'm pissed, I've spent my whole holiday on being sick.
Ever since the lockdowns she just hasn't taken basic disease courtesy seriously. She also kept asking if she should come by or if I wanted to come and stay at their place. I had to point out several times that I HAD COVID. It makes me so tired.
She means well by it too, she just wants to see her kids, and we live in one of those countries that proudly declared "COVID IS OVER" and that it's now just a flu-like disease. The thing is, she used to isolate when she had the flu. Not anymore.
Spent 8 hours in the wage cage. Went to my dentist (she's a woman so technically I wasn't alone on Valentine's ). Took a walk back to the apartment and played The Ascent, it was a great time. I'm actually stoked to be volcel right now so it's all good
Trust me gang, it's better to be single than in a dysfunctional relationship (which is 80% of all romantic relationships in capitalism lol)
Filling out lease paperwork and picking up cashier's checks. Me and my wife are separating. I'm moving into an apartment in March. Happy Valentine's Day!
Went to work, went to the auto shop to pick up our newly repaired and inspected car, dried and folded a shitload of laundry, played cards with the kids and went to bed early because I'm beginning to have a cold.
I'm not celebrating another American holiday. I'll buy my partner flowers another day because I want to, not because some yankiephile advertising pervert tells me I have to.
Had a dumb argument with my partner the day before. We spent Valentine's day making an effort to send appreciative messages to each other, but otherwise feeling very sad and awkward about it. It wasn't great fun.
I also worked 9 hours on dumb stuff making rich people richer.
I'm not in a relationship, not a fan of Valentine's day (Wales has its own saint dedicated to love/sick animals and I prefer to observe that one instead), but most of all I've been ill all week.
First part of the day, killing rats and removing their hearts and livers before handing them to my partner to remove their intestines. I have a weird job.
Second part of the day, my partner made us a delicious dinner of Cornish hen and potatoes cooked in duck fat, and played Hatoful Boyfriend together. It was a very cute night. Also she got me some packets of wildflower seeds which I like to spread around which is so thoughtful and I love her so much.
I spend half of it sleeping after I accidentally ate a dab thinking it was a gummy the previous evening. I had so much anxiety I couldn't sleep so I crashed hard once I felt fine the next day.
