Applying for jobs. If anyone here is hiring entry level cyber hit me up (USA) haha. Other than that I'll probably just be having a nice weekend with friends and family.

I bought a ticket to some booze-fest to support my niece's judo club. $50 gets me a souvenir cup and 4 hours of supposedly unlimited beer. Lord help me... Well, I'll at least be hitting the gym...

I’m super jealous and surprised some of those acts are still performing. I’ve seen quite a few of them, but never Slayer, the B-52s nor Patti Smith and I would love to see any of those 3 at some point.
Instead I drove 6 hours (traffic was horrible) to a dumpy Vegas wannabe on a river, only to have to take my MIL to the hospital til 2AM. My kids will be up by 8 and I’ll spend the weekend unsuccessfully hiding from the sun. My only consolation is my MIL’s boyfriend is going to let me whip my kids around in a tube behind his boat since I can’t ski or wakeboard with my broken foot.

I am decent at crochet but I've only EVER made amigurumi, so doing things like - making a gauge swatch, using alternating kinds of stitches (ami is pretty much always single crochet), not pulling everything as insanely tight as you can, making a foundation row - have been things I've had to learn! I had to go up one full mm hook size because I am a very tight crochet-er it turns out.
On saturday we have a beer tasting with some friends, so hopefully it will be nice out so we can be outside!
And one of our cats has decided he is against using the litter box after 10 years, so I guess I'm spending my spare time troubleshooting my cat's glitching out.

A bunch of stuff. This was the first week of my 4-10 schedule, and with the FTC and FRC seasons coming up, I had meetings, health stuff and personal commitments after work all days this week, so I'm going to probably have to readjust some, but it's Friday and I am on my time now!
Regarding FTC and FRC, they are robotics leagues for Middle and Schools respectively, and I got pulled to figure out how to teach the fresh meat how to program and/or introduce them to Java (high school) from Blockly (middle) . Plan A is to borrow the middle school equipment if the FTC teams aren't using them right this second, but we also have old NXT bricks that can probably be made to run Java code, so more information is required.
Aside from that, I'm looking into getting a new bedframe, clean up around the house, do some dishes and laundry and catch up on my writing. (maybe.)

Celebrating my 55th birthday (I may be the oldest person here?). It's been a journey the last couple of years.
I actually managed a 3-mile (5 km) hill and dune hike today. It was the first time hiking poles as assistive devices had occurred to me, and I may never put them down again until the f*cking hip replacement. The weather was beyond utterly gorgeous, and the views of the Lake Michigan shore put tropical beach Instagrams to shame.
There's been a wine tasting dinner involved, too. I'm grateful for the incredibly good fortune to have a fantastic spouse, a great place to live... two out of three (no job yet) ain't bad.

Mead question for you if you're willing to help!
I made a mead/melomel a little while ago, and it was kind of... yeasty tasting. A lot more of like a sharp yeast flavour than I have had in my similar sized fruit wines with the same yeast and the same amount of time to ferment in secondary (I'd have to check my notes but I think I racked off the lees at 10 days and then fermented for 6 weeks.) I bottled, but I mentioned that I didn't love the flavour I had, and some people said they had heard that mead gets better after some time in the bottle.
Do you have any thoughts on that? I've never made a mead before, and I don't know anyone who makes anything but beer personally, so I'm curious if you have some experience, how long should I be bottle conditioning before I try drinking it?
Good luck! I've switched from clomipramine to imipramine this Friday. So far, nothing, which is better than having side effects, I guess. We'll see in a week.

Well, I'll at least be hitting the gym that morning. Though, the effects of alcohol on muscle protein synthesis kinda puts a damper on things...
I imagine I'll be taking it easy on Sunday.
Going to the Riot Fest to watch a bunch of 40 and 50 years old punks play songs from the 90s. Rock and roll will never die!

Well my doctor prescribed some clonazepam. So a whole bunch of delicious nothing.

I walking into clouds man
But I can’t poop
Well, pooping from the clouds would be very impolite towards the people below :-P
Nah I’m good at aiming. Probably over some ocean anyway.
Swimming in the ocean in the south of Portugal, it's still hot here but not overly so. Going back north tomorrow.
