I can start. I spent a few days with friends. We didn't do anything that special but it's good to catch up and soak up some positivity from them.

My daughter turned one. She has some issues immediately after and soon after being born. Happy and chubby now though.

I took so e light electrical work as a solo handyman and didn't embarrass myself fucking anything up. I'm looking for a steady job in the field, so it felt good.

Woke up next to my wife.

Tbh, I do that a lot but it's still the best!

I got out of work at 11 AM on Tuesday instead of the normal 2 PM.

I met my newborn nephew

I got a couple thou in the mail from Starbucks as restitution for violating my rights as a worker. For once in my life the law actually protected me to some degree so thats pretty nice

My MIL's surgery went well and she's much more lively and relaxed now, thank God.

Nothing crazy, but my dog fractured a tooth and I was very worried he would either have to have it pulled or have a big ugly titanium crown put on, at great expense. He went to the vet today for it and it turns out the fracture wasn't as bad as I thought. No root canal and crown necessary. They shaved down the sharp parts, sealed it with resin and he's good to go now! I'm unbelievably relieved and it cost less than expected. Easily the best thing that's happened this week.

And tomorrow I'm going camping with my dog and some friends too! That should be a fun time. It's unseasonably warm and while I wish it were cold, I'm going to enjoy the nice weather while we have it!

Profit splits from the corp I work at dropped.

Basically an extra monthly wage that I don't have to put into rent.

[-] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 20 hours ago

Maintenance went so quickly we managed to travel back home in the same day and don't need to stay at the hotel

I'm a happily divorced dad. Had a lovely evening with my teenage daughter yesterday. We played cards, chess and some other cards game while drinking tea and chatting a lot. She won each game fair and square. After that great time I told her how much I value these moments, and she answered in the same way.

;u;; That's just lovely man!!!

My older kid just texted about applying to an internship …… it’s an environmental justice role using his technical skills for an indigenous tribe! WOKE AS HELL, even in this age of dystopia!

[-] IlmariGanander@lemmy.wtf 4 points 22 hours ago

I went to Costco and got 7 shirts and paid only $38ish total.

Plus $3.05 for a giant slice of pepperoni and a pop.

Downside: I didn't get the pants I was hoping to find. But oh well.

[-] mech@feddit.org 27 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

My wife and I had been trying for a child. Then she left me 2 weeks ago.
The best thing that happened to me this week was finding out she's not pregnant.
Also, instead of despair or grief over the separation, literally all I feel is relief.

[-] parsizzle@piefed.social 4 points 21 hours ago

Thats really tough, man. Im glad youre holding up okay for now. I'm happy for you to have dodged the baby bullet as well :)

[-] mech@feddit.org 2 points 21 hours ago

It hit me like a semi truck, cause shit went sideways out of nowhere within 2 weeks.
But she's moved out without a fuss, our finances are separate, and I kept the cats.
Still kind of numb, but I also massively enjoy the quiet and relaxation right now.
The marriage was exciting, but it was also a constant whirlwind.

[-] parsizzle@piefed.social 2 points 20 hours ago

Thats wild, from married to moved out that fast. I'm sorry things turned out that way. I went through a shockingly similar experience last year, so I know how difficult that can be. Grief comes in waves and out of nowhere sometimes. Silver linings like kitties and quiet nights are the little things that can help a lot, I found. 

[-] mech@feddit.org 2 points 20 hours ago

Thanks for your kind words.
Yeah, I'm sure the grief will still come.
And it'll be hard to achieve my dream of becoming a father now, as a 41 year old single...

[-] parsizzle@piefed.social 2 points 20 hours ago

Im happy to try and share some positivity. It costs nothing to be kind after all. It might seem daunting or difficult now, but the only way it'll never happen is if you stop trying, you know?

[-] moondoggie@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Two paid snow days in a row!

[-] Tywele@piefed.social 23 points 1 day ago

My application for my SRS (sex reassignment surgery) was approved by my health insurance.

[-] IlmariGanander@lemmy.wtf 3 points 22 hours ago

That's awesome! And a huge relief I'm sure.

I MET A CAT OUTSIDE AND WE CUDDLED FOR AN HOUR

[-] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I ate a slice of $2.50 birthday cake. My life is really terrible right now.

Edit: birthday cake is cake with sprinkles baked into it. It's not my birthday.

My kid and I saw a helicopter air lifting stuff on a cable, from pretty close.

Caught it on video and he's crazy about it. We've watched it like a hundred times.

Finished a large Part of my Project which i need for my Masterthesis. I feel very relieved.

My girlfriend has started her second chemo medication this week and the side effects are so much more manageable than the first's. We could even go for a hike on day two, which is way more than I had hoped for.

[-] silly_goose@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

That's great to hear! wishing her a quick recovery 🙂

I picked out summer bulbs with my daughters. And we are looking forward to seeing them grow.

Yesterday was payday

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Well. I got sick on Saturday. Stomach bug.

The best thing that's happened to me this week is I was able to eat a few saltines last night.

[-] parsizzle@piefed.social 3 points 21 hours ago

Sounds like youre over the hump! Youre almost back to health! You got this! :)

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

Yeah, the week is looking better. Had a couple scrambled eggs this morning for breakfast and a baked potato for lunch.

If it all goes well, I can be back to eating the unhealthy crap I usually eat tomorrow 😁

[-] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago

Had a relatively quick morning with my toddler on Monday, so decided I could afford to be 10 minutes late getting into work and had a special breakfast with her at a new little bakery/deli/breakfast-and-lunch spot that opened up nearby.

No idea if she'll remember it, but I know I cherish little moments like that from my childhood so I do what I can to make them for her.

One of the things I didn't really expect with having a kid is that even without going out of my way to make special memories there are small wonderful moments almost every day.

[-] j4k3@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Today is the 12th anniversary of the day I was physically disabled by a fuckwit driver while I was riding a bicycle to work. It is the first year in several where I do not feel existential or super depressed. I have plenty of reason to be, but all of it is deflected at the moment.

My boyfriend/fiance got their job approval from the imigration office :)

[-] Monster96@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

I finally got paid for a big job I did and now my new computer that I've been looking at for the past year is on its way to me. And, I have enough to get some Asian food for dinner which I like.

[-] tangible@piefed.social 7 points 1 day ago

Deadlifted 150 kgs (330 lbs) for reps this morning. Not a huge amount, but still nice. Other than that, a pretty uneventful week so far. Spring is just around the corner.

[-] parsizzle@piefed.social 2 points 21 hours ago

Congratulations! Thats a milestone all the same! Just remember, way less people are fit than you think. Probably the vast majority of people couldnt do what you just did! Be proud! Youre kicking butt on your fitness journey!! 

[-] lasta@piefed.world 8 points 1 day ago

Quality time with friends is always refreshing ☺️

Getting to spend time with some of mine and going out to a concert were was the high point of my week.

Hung out with friends, and got out of a bad group project for a class and now I get to do my own project, which will be a lot of work but it's gonna be fun and its better than having to keep working with the team

[-] OwOarchist@pawb.social 6 points 1 day ago

I trapped a mouse in my trash can and killed it. And then I fed the dead mouse to a feral cat that sometimes lives in my basement.

[-] silly_goose@lemmy.today 6 points 1 day ago

lol. Good for the feral cat and you I guess.
