none of this is really Texas specific

If it makes you feel better, the first Whataburger opened in Corpus Christi TX and H-E-B is mostly Texas associated, though I think they might have started opening in other states. I hope you have fun with your family visit!
 
I saw the announcement the remaining guys from Rush were going to tour again, and that night I dreamt I was telling my dad about it. It reminded me of when I had events I could feel excitement for and people with whom to share that excitement.

Tax: found out a book I got was printed and bound in Turkey. Day was ruined.
 
Doing fine. Drinking a good craft beer right now while playing Silent Hill. It's cold and rainy, perfect weather for this game.
The friend thing doesn't hurt anymore. I thought about it and realized that they didn't really make a difference in my life.
Work is going fine. My manager likes me and I was included in a big project. Let's say it's a worldwide thing, so I am really looking forward to it. My coworkers ask me about gaming or music in between work talk, and we have really good chats. I've worked remotely before but it's the first time that I've worked with such engaged team. And my English has improved quite a lot in just a few months.
For the first time in my life I don't hate my job and I see in my parents' faces how happy they are for me. I am the first generation to go to college and now I have exceeded their expectations. I am glad I am able to make them proud.
 
Basically, I was scrolling through tinder one day and I came across this gorgeous cosplay girl. Massive nerd, just the way I like it! So I gave her my only super like. But the thing is that I was having an absolute miserable experience using that app, and I was getting zero matches, so after weeks of disappointments, I quit and uninstalled. That was over a year ago.
So yesterday I decided to install the app again, and I noticed that that girl actually matched with me just after I left. I decided to check her Instagram profile on her bio but it has been deleted, and she doesn't answer, likely having quit the app as well.

Oh well :felted:
 
It's a 3-day weekend; it's in the 60s-low 70s with intensely blue skies, and the leaves are finally showing off their fall brilliance; and I got my ass out for a walk on a trail by a beautiful lake and under a canopy of beautiful trees. Got my year-end (!) self-eval in on time yesterday, and actually saw my (young adult, back home for final university year) kid for a few minutes today. Going to make banana bread later for kid to have a treat when home after working 6 am - midnight (2 jobs). Pretty good moment in time.
 
Not handling this second round as well as the first. Been falling asleep way mode often. They took away dilaudid as a pain option for me. This sucks ass.
 
I had a cancer scare but the dumbfuck lab techs were wrong. I think I lost 5 years of my life span losing sleep over it though....

Bright side is that my care package for a friend is almost ready...hopfully her final order is almost done.

We're all happy to hear it was just a scare <3

What's a care package? Like a box with gifts? That's sweet.
 
Leaves are falling off, it's getting brown outside yet it's still sunny. Very beautiful but I'm skating that line between early sunset depression and appreciation that it's getting darker faster. In some weird way reminding me that "even in the darkest season, I've got a job and drive my little car to the office and I've made it out of the bottom tier job bracket".

Oh, and my cat ejected some kind of clean water-like liquid out of sight and I can't tell if it was puking or peeing or what. She had just eaten kibble so it seems unlikely it'd be completely water-clear puke, yet the smell was more guteral than urine. I won't go to the vet until it happens again but I've so little experience with sick animal I'm spooked.
 
So I went to Church today, they had a semi-retired travelling boomer pastor for today and his granddaughter who was a regular member of the church until this fall when she first started going to college had enough time to drive all the way to attend this Sunday's service. It was an alright service and got to see some friends I haven't seen in a while. So afterwards the semi-retired pastor invites me to lunch with his family at a pizzeria. So I go and we all had nice conversation so far then he turns and talks to his granddaughter about how college is going and it goes well for a time until he says something along the lines of "you better get a good paying job soon to pay for my social security". And I'm like he's very lucky that he is a pastor and had the rest of his family with him or else I would have said something very nasty towards him. I'm sick and tired of the gall and absolute never ending self centered entitlement of boomers who had the easiest time of any generation in america and demand everything without a care about the problems of their grandkids are facing.
 
had some elections today and my country keeps voting left so that was disheartening. also it's been way too hot outside even though it's october and that's been pissing me off a little. didn't get to wear any fall/winter clothes yet.
 
We're coming into a weird time of year. August of last year my parents split up. So I'm navigating this year with my dad's birthday next weekend, and my mom's birthday next month, with festivals and holidays and traditions we all used to do and now trying to divide it up between them. I got lucky at Christmas because we had to go up to my wife's family's for the week. This year I think its just going to suck.
 
I had to put my cat down today. It hurts so bad, but I was able to give him 16 happy years and be by his side as he went. It hurts so much. Both my childhood pets are gone now.
