If the roads are okay to drive, definitely going out for a hike today. It keeps me sane

I hope you have a lovely hike! ☺️ I need to get back to going on my walk consistently every day again
I wouldn’t last long if I tried for a daily regimen, I’d fail so hard by maybe Saturday of week 1
For me, it’s 1-2 times a week for 3-6 mile day hikes. Gives me something to look forward to later which is important because it’s mildly addictive to get out and away from concrete and people. I savor it more when structured like that and it’s easier to keep the habit going.
Not to say one habit is better or whatever. But maybe if daily isn’t sustainable for you, mix it up
Most places you can hike aren't open when I'm awake due to a sleep disorder (I'm only awake at night), so for me small daily walks work best. I don't have very far I can go unless I wanna drive somewhere like a closed shopping center, so I usually walk 15-45 minutes (one loop around my complex is 15min, usually I do one or two loops)
For me the benefit is less getting away from other people, my sleep schedule is very isolating so I have plenty of alone time 😅. But it's good to get out of my head and move my body for a while :)
I'm gunna finish this coffee, feed the cats and then spend all day in my CNC workshop finishing up a big project, a really kickass frame for an old autographed TOOL album, Opiate, I've been meaning to frame for over 13 years. I might even fire up the smoker and make some ribs. Wife is out of town on a business trip so I'll prolly drink a bunch of beer, fire up some of that sticky-icky, and go through a bunch of my favorite early 90's G-funk albums.
Goood morning!! Today I ~have~ ~to~ ~work~ ~long~ ಥ_ಥ
(Not sure if every lemmy frontend can display subscript)
On my app I just see the tildes.
by subscript do you mean the two eyes? then yes I can see it. also good luck at work!
Morning I have work learning Elixir/Phoenix and waiting on an Amazon delivery so I can solve a few issues throughout the day. Last warm day of the week then it gets cold so I'm going to try and get some late night gardening prep done
Its bedtime for me but tomorrow I'm hoping to check in with someone about an upcoming date, get through some todos, and think about what I need to do to prepare for said date ☺️
(We're going to an arcade!)
I have work and then NOTHING. I am ready to go back to bed lol.
Gotta start the day early with some data scrubbing. One of our ETL processes is fucked and I’ve been tasked with figuring out how to fix it.
What is an ETL process?
Extract, Transform, Load - 3 steps to move data from one place to another
Interesting, thank you!
Good luck :)
Be broke and homeless, same as everyday. Gotta figure out how to feed two people all day on less than $2 😔
If you live in the us and haven't considered making a trip to a food bank that might be a really helpful resource
Sending love from my part of the world to yours my friend 🫂
I have nowhere to store or cook food 😐
That definitely does make things a lot harder, but there may still be some items there that would work well, and if you have to waste extra of some items ultimately that's much better than you and your other mouth going completely hungry- it may be worth taking a look
A loaf of sandwich bread and some peanutbuter isn't amazing but it's calorie dense and both are okay at room temperature
I'm wishing you luck, thats a brutal and soul sucking place to find yourself
The same thing we do every day Pinky
I've got one job to do this morning, which should take me a couple of hours to complete. Then I'll do tax prep paperwork for a couple more hours, then go over to my elderly parents and replace one of their toilets.
Once I do that I'll come home and post about my day on DullMensClub
I’m gonna go to the gym, and then study. I have two exams next week 😔
Good morning! No specific plans on my side!
Survive. So cold. Such a bad night of sleep. Ugh. I hate mornings like this.
I'm so sorry you didn't sleep well. :(
Finish up putting together my floor-to-ceiling bookshelves in my living room and putting all my new furniture and accessories together. I ordered everything for Amazon. It's awesome!
