I got very little sleep last night because I'm hella anxious about a conversation that I think needs to happen imminently between myself and the guy I've been talking to for the last two and a half months.
For the first month or so, things were very emotionally intense, but also involved very little actual time together. We had a lot of great conversations, and some difficult ones, but it was almost entirely through text.
And I thought I understood it. He's very shy and socially awkward, and also a person who likes to take things very very slowly in his dating life. And I wasn't exactly ready to take a leap of faith right off the bat - I'm still not done healing from my awful marriage.
But by the beginning of July, I was starting to get a bit ... uncomfortable about the fact that he doesn't ever seem interested in making actual plans. Sure, we talk about nebulous future things that would be fun, or that we should do, but we just weren't *doing* anything to make any of it happen.
I started dropping hints. Which, I realize, is maybe not the best choice, but I was trying to not be pushy or pressure him.
Then we had three weekends in a row where we had other commitments. We're now over two months from our first meetup, and we've seen each other for about 15 minutes since then (& that was more than six weeks ago!)

I have approximately four hours before I go on vacation until Monday afternoon. I feel like I'm being spoiled rotten by the girlfriend who planned everything about this girl's weekend.
I am both excited and nervous, but most of the packing is already done, I have a few last minute things to toss in a bag and a cooler, but that means my brain will have me in waiting mode as soon as that's done.

2025-05-22 17:49:55 GMT

I think my lesson for today is I'm not a methodical processor. I don't like to just SIT with my feelings.
I want to get this emotional baggage sorted, unpacked, and put away. I can't handle the clutter for a moment longer than I need to.

2025-05-19 13:52:21 GMT

Today, I set a timer for 10 minutes, took in a full sized black trash bag, and figured I'd try to fill as much as I could in that time.
The bag was full way before the timer went off, and I can probably fill most of another one with actual food packaging trash before I even have to start looking at what I pick up.
I need to pick up the pace because we have a houseguest coming in just under two weeks, and that room has to be fit for someone to sleep in.

I am sick of all the things I cook, so it was new recipe night! I found a really basic recipe for ground beef and orzo, just added a little bit (okay, kind of a lot) of Italian blend shredded cheese on top.
It's not AH-MAZING, but it's perfectly serviceable and took like 20 minutes with stuff I almost always have on hand. I'll take it.

I absolutely love this as a storage solution!

I would counter that a good plan (and that sounds like a good plan) is at least a third of the battle, because I know I have a tendency to just ... do random things when I'm trying to declutter, so there's no feeling of forward momentum. You can do this!

I am in that very weird place where I keep waking up before my alarm, but also feel like I could sleep for an entire week.
I'm pretty sure the first chance I get to get get more than 6 or 7 hours of sleep, I'm going to feel like I can conquer the world, but right now, I'm kind of looking for my next meal of brains instead.

My mom and best friend are coming over one day next week, and we are going to END TO END that living room - no more trash, no more dog tumbleweeds, get rid of all the miscellaneous tray tables that collect nonsense, it is going to be glorious.

I mean, the man spews nonsense constantly; he’s said so much unrealistic stuff, I don’t think anyone took him seriously at first.
I mean, I’m mad about (gestures at everything), so I get the rage. It’s warranted.

I just finished up my Discord game giveaways for the year, and I still have stuff left!
Anything in pink is a key that will soon expire. Everything else, as far as I know, has no expiration date. Most are Steam keys, but the GoG keys are noted as such.
If you can see this post, you can request a game. I will respond when I can, and go in order requested. If there are multiple games you would like, feel free to list in order of preference (up to 3), but you will only receive one key per person.
Feel free to boost. I want these to go to good homes before the end of the year.

(I am located in the US, I cannot guarantee all these keys will active internationally, but I expect most will!)

I mean, I’m sure I still would have bought it had I realized; obviously this is a much better deal, and I do love a deal.
I’m definitely going to need to find some bookshelf space for them though!

Seriously considering picking up Pixel Cafe for just over $3 on Fanatical.
Anyone played it? Thoughts?

I wish my everything was cancelled for today!
Hope your little feels better soon!

Okay, Fediverse, tell me about your favorite puzzle games for PC and iPhone.
Bonus points* if:
- (PC) if the game is from an indie dev / smaller gaming company
- (iPhone) the game is paid and/or has a reasonable way to permanently remove ads.
I'm not too particular about type of puzzle - words, numbers, matching, packing, jigsaw/mosiac, etc. Probably the only exception is Sokoban - I am not a big fan of those and I already have several games in that style I'm not playing.

Boosts appreciated!
*the points are redeemable for absolutely nothing, sorry.

Welp, now that I've managed to get perfect services on every stage of every level through Expert 10 on Burger Shop 3, maybe I can go play something else for a bit?

It's Jingle Jam day, and while I personally am not a huge fan of more big games, less filler (because I tend to *love* me some filler), it's still a pretty good bundle for about $45 USD.

For #HorrorGameOct I spent a bit of time with the time loop horror game, Homebody. There are a lot of things I think it does very well, but can't get out of its own way with time loop game shenanigans.

Stranded: Alien Dawn is the second game in this month's Humble Choice, and it took me just over 13 hours to reach my first Victory screen.

I was very surprised by how many folks on Game Deals Reddit called this "the worst Choice in a long time".
There's quite a bit here that looks pretty good to me!

& now for something completely different...
It looks like a new all-time low on "I Was A Teenage Exocolonist" on Steam.
Is $12.50 my bite price? Not sure, but I have a few days to consider it.
