What did you do this week?
As part of a weekly series, these topics are a place for users to casually discuss the things they did — or didn't do — during their week. Did you accomplish any goals? Suffer a failure? Do nothing at all? Tell us about it!
That sounds very sweet.
Hope you find good people.
I certainly didn't buy toilet paper, and that's a bit of a problem to be honest.
I worked a bunch, had several meetings about scheduling and projects. I got back into The Long Dark which is a beautifully quiet post apocalyptic northern survival game.
I took my son out to practice disc golf, twice. He loves disc golf; we'd go together all the time if weather permitted, and it finally does now. He is getting better at throwing, and actually managed to par a hole during our practice. He is five; this is a pretty great achievement, especially considering that I still bogey half the time. He had a pretty big shot off the tee (about 25m), another big upshot (about 18m) and then banged in a 10m putt for three. There's something really joyous about sharing hobbies with your kids, so I hope he stays interested in this long term.
We had a heart to heart later that day about him growing up. He told me that he was going to have a big beard just like me, but he followed it up with, "But I'm not gonna be so fat." Kids, eh?
work on my uni project which i really enjoyed, after which i got the message that it'll be postponed until end of the month,. i'm just forced to be at home for three weeks now which i usually don't mind but i'm so fucking stressed from all the corona crap so this sounds like an absolute dreadful period coming up.
guess i'll mute the tag and hibernate through most of this to avoid stress induced heart failure or something
Almost finished the mod. It's small, so it only took a little time to get right. Some people liked it. A few even left stars on the GitHub repo, which I appreciated.
I GOT BRACES!
Well, at least that's I thought I would be saying. I actually got a palatal expander and when she put it in my teeth I realized it wasn't very good. A palatal expander is basically a tool to push your teeth futher out of your mouth. Unfortunately unlike it the Wikipedia example, the one I got covers my teeth and replaces it with a smooth bit of glass or whatever, meaning I can't really eat or speak all that well.
I did some more shopping and picked up my meds at the start of this week, had a videoconference on Wednesday, and coordinated a bit with my colleagues after that. I re-read a bunch of fics I had on my phone, set (back) up a LaTeX installation, and started working on a handout on the use of spreadsheets for my students.
Mostly, though, I got bored. I'm not sleeping that well, which means that I can't focus, which means I'm just lazing around, eating like crap, and wasting my time.
