Man I'm glad I bounced off her stream in 5.3 during her SHB run and blocked her. Not to say everyone has to love the exarch, but there was something about the way she was laughing and joking during an emotional moment with zero empathy that was just... Off. I had a bad gut feeling and blocked.

Ty for this. I should have updated this sooner but hes doing okay atm. He was super lethargic and wouldn't eat or drink at first, but I confirmed he wasn't dehydrated, was still going to the bathroom, finally got him to drink, and finally tonight he ate food. He seems okay and stable at the moment

And yes, he loves watching vtubers on my second monitor.

He's such a baby but he's my little baby... But he's also an old man. I just want him to be okay.

Every emergency vet near me costs a fortune but the regular vet is closed today. I have having to second guess myself on how serious a situation is and if it will cost my animal's life, but if I go broke I can't get him food either and damn is that beating up my mental today.

I hate health scares with animals man. Trying to keep my anxiety in check but my cat puked like 6 or 7 times last night and woke me up and won't eat. I thankfully just got him to drink and he went to the bathroom recently, but I hate having to sit here and check finances.

They are anxious and they must snuggle.

Its thundering and raining which means I'm sleepy and the dogs are nervous and demanding snuggles.

And they're just still focused on growth and certs as if all the extra effort and work I've taken on doesn't mean shit. They said they're gonna consider compensation options but I'm just not optimistic. I wish the job market would stop being shit I'm so tired. Think I'm gonna go be a ball in bed.

Yeah, I'm done and burnt out man. I feel like I'm at the end of my rope with my job. I've been pushing and burning so hard and trying to improve myself and show worth, but it still feels like I'm getting the run around. I finally had a meeting with my bosses to talk about my status

Before workout, full of joy and whimsy

After workout, full of crushing pain and agony (in a good way)

Before and after. Gonna try to get back on the bike again... Or, treadmill

And jumped from one dumpster fire to the next holy shit. I've seen some shit Quickbooks updates but it's been a while since I had one so bad it cooked a whole server and we had to build a new one. That was a fun 5 hours of my morning

Today really was one of those working until 10pm because one of our customers blew up their accounting software kind of days huh

Bro I just had the most insane interaction in my neighborhood. What is with old ladies randomly loosing their minds about people walking their dogs and going to the bathroom as I literally have the bag in my hand to pick it up lol.

Time to send a letter to the HOA I guess lol

That or it's because I don't eat fish or something who knows

When I cut it off cold turkey I was doing okay for the first few weeks, sometimes doing one soda a day but barely that, but after a while it just kept getting worse and worse. Pretty sure I just probably broke some part of me that regulates that naturally so I need supplements.

I think it will, I think this will hopefully get me feeling a bit more normal. For a few years I was drinking 1-2 energy drinks a day and by that I mean I started prior to COVID and only really fully stopped like a year ago. I think that amount of caffeine over so long just really messed with me

Yeah this will be my first "regular" medication but it's just been so bad, the fatigue and exhaustion have impacted my life so bad like just trying not to pass out at work

Also got the standard spiel I was expecting of eating better, dieting, and exercise which I know I have to do but is hard when I'm tired 24/7. But I did get weighed on the scale so my mood is doing great right now... Yeah...

Finally got a confirmation from a doctor. My Vitamin D is "markedly deficient". How deficient you may ask? Well I had to get a prescription for it. My fun fact of the day is that apparently there is a lethal dose for Vitamin D and it's about 60k mg. Anyways, I've been prescribed 50k mg once a week.

Man anytime it rains really hard like this I just want to take a nap

The short version is that they basically changed where all of their emails were being sent to for the rest of the world and said to send them to Google when they don't have any of their mailboxes in Google rather than send mail to Microsoft, where their email was actually saved

Ah, today is one of those "Microsoft client decided to sign up for Google Workspace without telling us and push new MX records to break their mail flow" kind of days huh.

I need a soken theme song. Man in his 30s with spike and flowy anime hair

Bro why my hair looking like an anime protagonist today? And no one told me.

I just got home and the only thing I have the energy for is laying down and maybe crying, still seeing where the night takes me. I just want it to be worth it but I'm at the end of my fucking rope.

Holy shit it's really hitting me just how fucking exhausted and burnt out I am with my job right now. I've been pushing myself harder to try and get that promotion or pay increase and I feel like the end is in sight but I'm just so tired and exhausted all the time.

Digital sketch of Asmodeus, Lord or Lady of the Nine Hells. She's depicted here as a horned humanoid woman with short wavy hair. She exudes power, seated on a spiked throne, leaning into her hand as she gives a sinister smile.

✨ going through wips and letting a bunch of them go, which includes lady asmodeus here! our dm revealed this was our canon at the end of our last campaign & gave me some inspiration to pull from #dndart

I have spent my day deep cleaning my house for next weekend. Scrubbing the floors and the kitchen down. I got a little light headed in the bathroom. It's tiring, but it feels good

Work selfie. Hair has a mind of its own.

Post work selfie savage. With an extra dose of stress and a small mental breakdown

In a funny note, I was so stressed that I somehow got my hair to stick up like this all day

Today was one of those "have a mental breakdown from stress" work days huh
