Normal week!
Apr. 12th, 2025 01:19 amSo we finally had a normal-ass week this week. No surgeries, no hospitals, just a regular fucking 5 day span of stupid work that led to a weekend where NO JINX no one is sick or injured. Word!
I know last week I said I might write more introspectively about having a health scare and existential dread from the hospital but like... I don't feel like it. That shit is instantly behind me.
I spent all my free time this week putting the finishing touches on programming the Recipedia in Dracanea, and just a few more listings to go. It's unbelievably boring copying and pasting each listing over and over to slightly modify the ingredients and stuff. I keep saying it to Meg and stuff, but I really really hope that whole concept clicks with players and they actually enjoy it/make the IRL recipes found in it. Cuz it ended up being WAY way more work than I ever expected.
Know what's obnoxious? People who lose their shit over fake problems, and can't practice like... mindfulness/scope of life. I had to go to a customer's house two days in a row, because after spraying (as per their request, no bait) their house, it flushed some ants out. And apparently there was a lot of ants around their kitchen window this morning and the wife was crying about it. So I had to go back again today to tell them "This is why we usually put bait inside". If the worst problem you're dealing with is "There's some ants in the house we just sold for $700,000" then you're doing pretty damn good lol.
Also, same vein, saw some attention whore on Discord have a melty over eating a couple cookies, looking for sympathy and toxic positivity and all that horse shit... Like, I have her blocked because she's an unhinged sociopathic asshole, so normally I wouldn't even see her posts. But judging from the replies I saw people giving her hidden post, it sounded like something major/big happened so I morbidly curiously unhid the post, just to find out it was about eating two cookies... I cannot fucking deal with the human race anymore lol.
The weather has been kind of iffy this week. Lots of rain, kind of chilly. But after the extreme drought last year, I will never complain about rain ever again lol. I also worked a full-ass, regular house work week for the first time since like... early March. It was fine, but I'm trying to look at it positively as like, I'm getting the best payweek in a month's time.
Uhhh, other than that, not much else to ramble about? Me and Skunk went to look up how expensive it'd be to stay in Montauk for like 2 days, since we wanted a de-stressing mini trip, and it's off-season there. But lollllllll that did not matter. Even in frigging April, hotels and AirBnBs were running like $300 a night. I hate this fucking economy ಥ◡ಥ So cuz of that... campinnng here we come! Lol.
