It has finally cooled down in my part of Arizona and I couldn't be more happier. It's nice to experience life without having to endure skin-melting heat 24/7. It also means that it gets darker earlier than before, mostly at 6 or 7 PM, which is very comfy.
 
Everything's kind of gone cattywampus at Casa de Archeops right now, Mama Archeops is renovating the kitchen and discovered that the floor underneath the fridge has gone rotten due to water leaking out of it (turns out that the replacement rubber sealing liner may be the wrong make for the fridge we have and years of improper door closing has caused a ton of water to seep into the floor below).

And while all of that is going on a friend of mine called me in a rush due to finding a stray tuxedo kitten that's kind of skinny and shivering like a leaf (due to the cold mountain temperatures) and needed a place to keep it safe. The good news is that it's eating and is loud as heck so that tells me that it has a strong will to live. We'll take it to the vet ASAP and either keep the little gremlin or place it in a home where we'll know it'll live a long, healthy life.
 
I saw some crackhead in a red Honda Accord with a Louisiana plate dancing and bopping his head while I was stopped at an intersection this morning. I wish I could be as happy about my morning commute as him. Thanks crackhead, if you're reading this somehow.
 
Tried to do a walk \ work out but I got food poisoning and had to race back to vomit. That sinus thing I deal with which doc WON'T tell me the reason for kicked in along with it and I barely made it back to see my old friend the Porcelain Potentate.
 
So stuff with the goth-adjacent chick I was seeing fell apart. Comically, my recent house purchase had a fair bit to do with it, as the buying and moving and initial DIY stuff that comes with making a house your own took up a lot of my time to the point where she decided I wasn't paying enough attention to her.

C'est la vie. It's not like I wasn't perfectly content being single before, so no skin off my nose. As compensation, I get to get back to going fishing more often now while it's still nice out on the beach and hang out with the guys more.

Also, my best friend is going through a divorce now. I still remember warning him off of marriage unless he was 100% sure and particularly when it came to the woman that he married, but they tied the knot anyway - mostly so she could be placed on his health insurance(!). That's turning super ugly and he's probably going to be out six figures (even with the house being off the table as premarital assets) before all is said and done, largely due to the disparity in their incomes and what she's "accustomed" to. I have studiously refrained from any "told you so" shit, since Lord knows he's got enough on his plate right now.
 
Just spent four days in the hospital with kidney stones. Plus a lovely blood infection to go along with it.

I feel better and I'm glad to be home, but have about as much energy as an old dishrag.
 
I'm actually in a state of complete and utter madness. Don't worry, reality is much worse.
 
Still sleeping all day, still feel like shit, and FN is discontinuing the SCAR line of rifles when I was thinking of getting myself a 15P as a "yay for you for surviving this long" present. Fucking lame.
 
My old bedframe broke, as I was expecting because I got it off FB marketplace for very cheap. The new one is supposed to be arriving today, and other than that life is pretty good right now :)
 
Personally im relatively good despite all the shit that has gone down over the past week personally, without going into too much detail my mother has a severe mental health problem and her being able to recover seems unlikely, she’s basically completely and utterly lost in terms of thinking rationally, I do feel upset, maybe not as much as I should be, but I pray to God she gets the help she needs, I am relived to not be completely destitute though, I have had fears that if I ever did lose a parent (either one of them dying or going crazy) I’d be shit outta luck and homeless, luckily in my case this hasn’t happened yet and I still have a supportive family so it’s ok
 
i read too many retarded libtard articles today and now my head hurts and i still miss kingcobrajfs so damn much. it is what it is toobz
 
I'm feeling pretty good right now, I found a bunch of old childhood vhs tapes my parents recorded of my sister and I in storage, and I figured out I could back them up by running a VCR through a capture card on my PC. It's a miracle the tapes hadn't degraded while they were in storage.
 
Well got fired, Might get hired for a new job, and submitted an application for school bus driver. Honestly this time did wonders for me.
 
I had (what was left of) a tooth (#31) pulled today. My lower mandible hurts and I'm still loopy from the propofol (that shit works; I wish they sold it in six-packs), meaning I'm not able to contribute to the discussion in any meaningful, substantive way (not thst iever did).

Please apprise my mates over at the USPG2 thread (to the extent I actually have any) to my woeful condition and that I'll be back to making bad jokes and providing midwit-tier analysis in due course.
 
I got home a hour ago from waking up this morning with little sleep, to rush out the door to be at the VA cemetery on time for my papa’s funeral service. I visited a few other gravesites of my long departed grandparents as well.
I’ve already been to the VA cemetery twice today, it’s less than a 15 minute trip one way from my house, and I’m trying to fight the urge to go back to his mausoleum before sundown. I really need to take a shower instead.
I could cry there, or I can cry in bed at home.
I know that he’s always going to be in the same spot, and that I can’t do anything for him anymore. But I feel like I can’t leave him to stay there overnight.
I’ve heard of other people doing this for their deceased kids and stuff, but I’ve never experienced it myself until now.
Editing this to say that it’s less than 10 minutes before sundown, so I didn’t end up going back.
