It's Fathers' Day here. The entire last week my general-use email inbox has been hit with literally hundreds of marketing messages about "show your dad you appreciate him" , "show dad you love him" and "thank dad for all he's done for you".
The one that really made me laugh, though, was "Show your dad how you really feel about him".
Superficially appealing, but also, likely to end in jail.
I have a new family now. I cooked husband many things, we had a family day trip, various board games were deployed, everyone seems happy.

I can relate, I burn like toast. I should be used to it but I'm too white.

I feel your pain. I do a shitload of outside home improvement type work around my house, since I guess that's what you start getting the urge to do when you're getting old, and I never tan. Just a choice between pale and red. I passed out in a chair with just trunks on at my buddies pool once and it was the worst week of my life. It was just coating myself in Aloe and trying to pass out so I didn't feel the pain. Genuinely surprised I didn't get skin cancer from that.

Sunscreen fellas... Sunscreen will save you from a lot of trouble.

No arguments there, I live by sunscreen. Especially since it takes me a couple hours to mow. My problem the day I turned myself into a tomato was alcohol. Can't reapply sunscreen when you're passed out until the sun is setting. I'm no longer capable of drinking like early 20's me, so I thankfully haven't been fucked by the sun like that again.
 
Still sick - now it's pneumonia.
So have to take more time off this week.
People at work dropping like flies because of the usual winter shit that spreads through the hospital.
I'm feeling incredibly anxious and guilty because of the amount of time I've had off in the last 6months due to illness/injury.

I can't go the gym and suppress all my emotions like I normally do so I'm stuck at home alone for another week.

Whoooo! ☹️
 
my sunburn from last weekend is getting better but now I'm peeling so bad

Tomorrow I need to do some more job applications. I think there's a couple different tacks I can try, and I'll try again for a CNC machinist position. Generally I think I fucked up this life, and I've used up all the resources that would've helped me try a different path. Sometimes it feels like I'm destined to fail no matter what I do - like the job I liked and had promise but I broke my ankle on the third day of work. Anything that requires a level of chance I'll never succeed at. Ultimately all I can do now is keep trying until the day I kill myself. I would love to win the lottery, or even enough to pay off my loans and give me breathing room to go back to school, but money doesn't fall into your lap unless you have significantly more luck then what I'll ever have.

I'm getting so burned out on job hunting, all the rejections despite getting interviews is maddening.
 
Kiwis, after much grueling I finally got a job! It's fully home office as well. For those still searching, don't give up. All of you are capable, in one way or the other. Keep your head high up, and walk on. All of you got this! If I can do it, so can all of you. :achievement:
 
I got a job that starts Thursday as a machinist again. It sounds like a higher paced work environment with hard deadlines, but my employer seems to have realistic expectations.
 
My old man (cat) isn't looking so well. You know when you can look at an animal and tell they don't feel good? Yea. All he wants to do is lay down. I mean, I expected this. He's at least fifteen. But oh gods, it hurts.
 
My ankle is swelling and feels like it's sprained, but I have no idea how this happened. Keeps hurting worse.
