  • Existential crisis hitting hard, but went to a book fair and found some good books so that was nice. And after that I spent like 4 hours fixing the motorcycle, which I quite enjoy, and it's also quality time with my partner.

  • Hey, I only learned everything about horses in primary school (including behavior, breeds, anatomy and feeding...) OUT OF CURIOSITY!

  • Before this it was anger

  • 32ish when people around me started getting diagnoses and I began looking into it. Got diagnosed at 34 with ADHD. I identify strongly with autistic experience as well. The doctor who did the initial evaluation agreed there probably are autistic traits there too and it might be worth looking into, but they couldn't help with it in that clinic. It's really difficult to get evaluated in a public clinic so I've decided to let it be for now.

  • Using a lot of energy to manage stress right now. Our move to Germany, which was supposed to happen at the end of June, was suddenly cancelled as the company announced massive layoffs last week. They obviously knew about it when they wrote the new contract. We already had an agreement to a temporary flat and possible tenants coming to see our flat + other arrangements made. Never trust a capitalist. Thank dog some maneuvers were still possible to soften the (possible) fall.

    Feeling sad and disappointed and really heavy for losing that opportunity and having to rearrange ourselves and our lives again. I was really happy about a new direction but nah. I'm glad I've done a lot of work the last year learning new coping strategies so I manage a lot better with this situation than I would've before.

    Also some random blasts from the past have struck lately. It feels as if I need to face some people and situations and make peace with them. Another thing that came to an end today is a court case which has bothered me for 4 years - I witnessed a possible battery, and I've been called to the court to give a statement about it several times, only to be told the day before that it's been postponed. Failing to show up would result in fines, so it's really annoying to have to reserve the day in calendar and then it's cancelled. I didn't even have much to say about the whole thing and couldn't identify anyone... Glad that's been dealt with finally.

  • How about the Bermuda triangle?

  • Happy May Day! I was at the traditional may day march today and also joined the demonstration thst opposed a nazi march. Sad to see how the nazis are tolerated and their bullshit let to spread.

    Otherwise the day was ok, often the weather on May Day is cold and it's not uncommon that it rains or even snows, but this time it was +20°c and sunny, so we had a picnic in a park with friends.

  • Yup. I cut my own hair and this is exactly what happens.

  • We went to a discussion club today with the SO as our favourite politician was speaking there about democracy. Great event and a good talk! I'm so happy that people organize these clubs, I wish I had more time to participate. I've been to a few of them before and it's always been a good and inspiring experience.

  • Will do!

  • Bought a bottle of Tajin sauce recently and it's great! I think it started a new sauce season too! It all began years ago from Sriracha, which was followed by Texas Pete season and for a short while there was Laogan Ma and then just random hot sauces, but I think we've reached a turning point now with the Tajin! Gotta give the spice a try too!

  • Fap Laflatch signing in

  • Sounds cool! I don't think I've ever been to a circus performance 🤔

    It's nice and sunny here and different colored anemone flowers are blooming! I realized my recent street dust sensitivity is probably more about stress than actual dust.

  • Secret man cave obviously. Also not dull at all!

  • Swimming pool drains. I panic if I get above one. No idea why. I used to love swimming/diving as a kid but I always made sure to stay as far away as I can from the drains. I didn't go to a swimming pool for like 20 years (mostly because of body dysforia but the drains did play a role as well), only recently I've been to a spa - and I'm like a cat with a cucumber around the drains.

    Oh, and leeches. Never want to see one of those fuckers in real life.

    Also I have a fear of getting worms. One of my late cats got that type which, if in a wrong host, can travel to the eyes.

  • You have to ask nicely!

  • My brain insists on counting the sides of the box while breathing. My brain always wants to count things, be it steps or breaths or hearthbeat or the sides of a person's eyebrows or the straight lines on digital numbers. Basically only way to make it quiet is by listening to someone talk (=podcast) while walking. But counting breaths is among the least annoying babble it produces so I often do it, intentionally or not.

  • Sun is shining and the street dust season has begun. Being outside for a moment makes my teeth feel gritty and even inside the flat the air is heavy and dusty. Ugh.

    We spent the weekend at summer cottage and the air quality was just so much better in there! It was really nice being in the countryside. Friday night we saw northern lights too!
