#then i'm going to drive home and try to listen to a webinar in my car

[whentherewerebicycles]

i swear to god i do more work in three hours in this job than i did in ten months at the other job lolllll. but i can’t even be too resentful towards old job because 1) i’m out of it and never have to think of it again YIPPEE and 2) the timing of that job (specifically my lead escalating shit to Unbearable Misery Levels) enabled me to be in exactly the right place & right time to apply for this job.

On Friday I get home from work (or stop working if I'm working from home) and my spouse and I eat dinner. It's usually my spouse who cooks during weekdays. Then I will do some internet stuff, like go through emails (I get a lot of interesting newsletters), social media etc, maybe chat with friends on Discord.

I might put on a podcast or a video recording of a webinar about something relevant to my interests and work on a project while watching/listening. I also have some writing projects so I might work on those without any sound/video on, or do some research for those. Or if I don't feel like doing anything "productive" I might play a videogame (Pokemon Scarlet rn, but in a short time Mask of the Rose comes out!!!) or maybe read a book if I'm feeling particularly hygge.

Showering is also a horrible activity that you gotta do that takes time, I hate showering so much but you gotta do it. Around 8pm I start getting ready for bed, which mostly involves cat care stuff, like cleaning the litter box, sweeping the sand off the floor around the litter box (and maybe other parts of the apartment if people/cat have tracked sand elsewhere too), cleaning the water bowls and putting new water down, putting down food, maybe playing with the cat or going out in the hallway with the cat in a harness.

Saturdays and Sundays I still wake up around 6am because I can't fuck up my sleeping rythm and also the cat would like breakfast (cat also likes routines). Read the newspaper on my phone, eat breakfast (while reading a different physical newspaper), scroll Tumblr. There is a great chance of cat wanting to go out in the hallway so we will try to do that as early as possible so that there is less chance of other people moving around that would scare the cat. I will often cook on Saturdays and Sundays, and it's usually my gig to cook if we want to try a new recipe. That is also something I do a lot at all times, look into new vegan recipies.

On Saturdays I also need to do grocery shopping, so before that I gotta make a meal plan for the week and put all the needed ingredients on the shopping list. Since we don't have a car going to the grocery store is kind of a big activity.

Lately I've been working on a museology project where I go to this construction site during the weekends to photograph its development, so that might happen on a Sunday (I do it sort of every other week at the moment). And a new development is DnD so that might become a big weekend thing.

And both Saturdays and Sundays are the kind of days I will schedule stuff to, like maybe go visit my parents, or some association/activist meetings, maybe there is an online event I want to attend, maybe there is a movie on at the cinema that interests us...

In the past we would also go to church on Sundays, which is kind of an enormous thing too, since it's over 2 hour drive there. Not been going lately though, but maybe someday again in the future.

But then the evenings are similar as to during the week: dinner, computer, maybe work on project, shower, and at 8pm begin the cat care activities after which I go to bed. In bed I tend to scroll Tumblr or read a book until I get sleepy.

And like obviously my spouse is here in my home with me, so I talk to her about everything all the time.
