I made a major improvement in my ability to not give a fuck about my job.
I work in American retail.

I didn’t know you could insert that here. I just needed that on my previous comment.
Thanks.

I got an invitation from someone I had been talking to online to come and have dinner with their family. It. Was. Awesome. I got a tour of their gardens, talked pest management, chicken composting, and propagation strategies, got a ukulele concert from their usually shy daughter with some special medical needs (and got to play something for her on the instrument she never shares), and had a lovely meal from their garden. Oh, and we traded plants and cuttings with each other to help diversify our gardens (and who they support)!

That is a lovely little vignette. Thank you for a glimpse into your world :)

I started turning away from atheism. I’ve always wanted to believe in God but i was literally unable to.

I know how you feel. I started turning away from not collecting stamps. It’s such a good feeling finding faith in stamps.
(wink)
Happy new year!!

For complicated reasons over which we have had very little control, we have had to move house 3 times in the last 5 years.
In April of this year, thoigh, we finally found somewhere that we both really love and which should be pretty much permanent. I am very happy about that.

Are we thinking in the short or long term here?
Short term (enjoyment for this year): I bought a motorcycle, something I’ve wanted to do for years but finally had the money and independence to do so this year
Long term (this will affect my future life in a good way): I got a summer research internship as a college student, which gives me valuable experience for later in life

A boat always gives the owner two good memories. The one when you bought it and the one when you sell it

I was told this repeatedly before I bought it. I naively thought it would be different for me. It was not!

I started volunteering at a children’s theatre. Just finished the third of three production runs, seeing kids from 8 to 18 astound audiences with performances that surpass professional productions I’ve seen. It’s renewed my belief in the power of the arts to change lives, when my whole training and professional life has been in the sciences.

Well… there’s not much. I have 2 nominations. They’re not much, but it’s something.

I used to download low quality music from YouTube. Now I get FLACs.2
I got to ride an old ZSSK 012 carriage. It’s not comfortable, and it’s also quite loud inside, but there’s passenger seats in the back. The view makes it really worth it.Video I took from the back
There’s also possibly another one, but I’ll just keep that one in my head. It’s a bit weird.

Get fired and the hired with a boss that challenges me and trust me.

Having a job with the right level of challenges, and freedom to approach it how one want, is the best job to have. I’ve worked at a place like that for more than a decade now. I could probably move on to better paid jobs, but I’m hesitant to let go of my current workplace.
