The birth (or death) of a relative, the release of a new program, game, series, movie, the date you were dreaming about, could be anything
My wife is next to me, holding me in her arms while she sleeps. I am excited for her to wake up naturally and then we will go get bagels from our favorite bagel place.
That’s wonderful. My wife and I are similarly close and I find myself constantly looking forward to spending time together.
I’ve been working every day since January. Every weekday, every weekend day, every day. But finally on June 15th I’ll be down to one remote job and can go sailing for a few weeks straight. I’ve finally sort of got my finances in reasonable shape, I’ve paid off my car, and have a little breathing room.
That’s awesome! I commend people who can work nonstop like that. I hope you enjoy your well deserved break!
Very lame of me, but I’m really looking forward to the Conservatives losing the next British General Election.
Not from the UK but excited for that too. Asking just out of curiosty because I’m not too informed on the matter, do you really like the labour program or just happy to see conservatives kicked out?
Also I was thinking we should stop calling them conservatives and start calling them retrogrades since (at least in my country) they want to strip people of acquired rights making us go back in time.
I think “regressives” is suitable term.
I am actually excited for the Labour programme, though I realise I’m in the minority! The lack of enthusiasm is mainly because people have so little faith things will actually get better and partly because Labour haven’t always been great at communicating why they’ve made (IMO necessary) changes to their policies.
Agree with you about conservatives, but that has always been the problem with conservatism, unfortunately.
A consultation this week to start hormone therapy
hells yes! congrats!
Ey, congratulations!
I bought a steam deck and have been checking every day waiting for it to arrive… Or even be shipped! They finally packaged the damn thing!
Congrats man, my deck was one of the best purchases I did in a long while
Yeah the shipping was weirdly the only bad part of the experience. You’re in for a great ride!
I’m gonna go camping. Not sure where or where yet, but I’m gonna drive up into the mountains and spend a couple nights in the tent.
Pay day, I’ve been working on a new project at work, and the time I’ve put in for it gets paid at a higher rate - I’ll end up with a little more than double my usual paycheck!
Summer full of concerts:
-
Roger Daltrey @ Tanglewood

Pearl Jam @ Fenway
-
Sting @ MGM(Boston)
-
Metallica @ Gillette Stadium

Got debt down from $18K to 6K in 8 months. Would be 1K if Colorado would ever approve our electric car rebate for 5K. Slow bastards.
Realistic: Getting a faster motorcycle and going on longer touring rides and track days with it. I currently have a Suzuki GZ250 but it struggles on the highway, and the acceleration of even a “middleweight” bike like the Trident 660 is exhilarating.
Unrealistic: Getting a girlfriend…
I just got a new immersion blender.
Milkshakes and vindaloo :)
Hmm. I just realized I haven’t been excited about anything in a long time.
That sucks.
I had a similar realization recently. When I was younger I’d be excited for something for months at a time, but now that I’m older I can’t really look forward to something until it’s right there.
I’ve been trying to look forward to small things lately, even if it’s something small I’m doing for myself like a nice dinner. It helps
I would try to be excited for you, but I am too tired from life.
My reaction when reading the post’s title: nothing.
I am not tired.
New hydro power in Ethiopia - it’s nowhere near me, but nice to see how optimistic the young people are there.
I’m a teacher. I’m looking forward to summer vacation starting June 29th where I get to have 66 days off to be with my 3 kids. They’re now at a really fun age and I can’t wait
That’s awesome. Well deserved and congrats!
getting my offer letter. compensation is fair enough for my skills, so i am just playing some games waiting for the offer letter.
