Currently got all-day sunsetty warm lighting, endlessly-looped tropical bass music, and bottomless premium coconut milk on-tap.
Whats it made of?
It’s made of glögg.
Roger that
Blankets, wool socks that go all the way to my knees, and a cute dog friend.
I am escaping into the Caves of Qud after tucking my kids in. Dunno if its sunny, more salty, but its fun.
Good friends, good music, good vibes, and good weed.
Indoor climbing gives a big, wide-open, brightly lit area that scratches my itch for being outdoors.
Hot yoga burns out any chill I have.
Trying my darndest to keep a very consistent sleep schedule. January is my toughest month usually, and my friends know when I say my bedtime is 10pm I mean it. New Years, parties, travel, whatever be damned.
Edit: oh, new this year is a weighted blanket. That’s the “cozy” bit compared to the above. I like the weight without having to add 5 quilts that are just going to make me sweat.
My wife has a stack of 9 mostly finished quilts that just need bindings and thread burying, all set to get finished and given out between now and the end of the year.
As of yesterday the stack is down to 8 because the lap quilt destined for my workstation is currently getting its binding.
During the Winter months, I mostly just wear the same pajamas I do during the Summer. I tolerate the cold way better than I tolerate anything at 20°C and above. It’s also a great time of the year for soups, stews, and hot chocolate! ☕
Santacon.info - gotta be in Jolly good shape for SantaCon!!
Alcohol after work. Weed every 4 hours. Psychedelics for this weekend.
The alcohol I want to quit or limit, but I’m ultra giga stressed by my 3 part time jobs. Only 10 more months and I get to quit one of them (I did the math).
Sounds great and stressful, try and unionise on you last day. As a parting gift.
Got a new soldering iron so I guess that’ll do along with some warm lighting as you said
Watcha soldering? Anything fun?
Haha thanks for asking, it’s about half-fun half-stressed-out, I’m making a 40A 10 channel CCT LED controller on a perfboard with a bunch of temperature sensors, presence sensors, fan controllers and other stuff. The first one sucked ass because of EMI from high frequency switching on the FETs so hopefully I’ll figure something out this time… Thinking about doing a split design, with everything power related completely distanced from all the low power stuff as I’m not super knowledgeable.
Sounds cool!! Good luck with the project! EMI is one of those things I’d never even consider until i got way into a project like that, then have to reverse course and try a new approach with that in consideration. Gotta learn somehow though, lol!
Dark and cold because the world is breaking rapidly, or the weather? Former, shits cooked, try and enjoy the fall I guess? Later, it’s fucking dumb hot and humid in my country, so living in aircon getting angry at the heat!
I started painting models recently so that’s been keeping me busy.
Consume a shit ton of cannabis. Yeah.
I’m not. As soon as it is seasonally appropriate to do so I’ll be blasting “The Man in the Santa Suit” on repeat.
So, tomorrow presumably?
First Sunday of Advent, no sooner
Ah okay. In Canada the day after remembrance day is usually the “respectful” start of the season.
Respectfully, that’s too early. More than six weeks of Christmas season is just too much.
All I need is my warm clothing and a place to be snug.
the answer is always the same: look towards the future.
the accelerationism that trump is going to unleash of all of us is going to galvanize american voters into action and the last time that happened, we ended up with things like social security and unemployment as appeasements from the people in charge to neuter support for further leftward shifts in my country.
maybe this time around we’ll get ubi after the dust settles.
