Ugh almost to the end of night two.

This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post of your own.

It's snowing here but I have to work. Does anyone else like how heavy some jackets can be? It's like weighted blankets.

Awe yeah. I love it until I start to sweat profusely, lol.

I'd wish it snowed more than a few flakes per week :(

No Berlin for us after all, the company decided not to hire or transfer anyone and instead let one person do the work of 3.

My practical training started today, I was really nervous about getting to know with the new people, but they were ok and we have a small team, which is nice. What's funny though is that the project, in which I'm doing the training, is preparing a course similar to the one I'm doing the training to at the moment.

It's time to finish or prep my Christmas presents.

I have two wooden mushrooms that I carved and sanded that are ready to be stained. I've been putting it off since October. It's not even that big of a deal or that much of a hassle but brain still procrastinates.

The last present is easier. A small jar of home grown weed. I don't even smoke much weed and prefer to vape. I just like growing weed plants because they are pretty and I really like the smell of the fresh flowers. I air dried them in the unused cold room in the basement this year and it worked amazingly. There was no smell for anyone to complain about and I didn't lose my whole harvest to mold this year.

There are too many Black Friday deals that I want to buy. And I have no idea which ones to choose.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I cant find anything to buy.

You are a better consumer than me. :)

Had some trouble too. I did buy some painting supplies earlier this week to get into a new hobby (acrylic painting specifically) but when I searched for stuff for my other hobbies I suddenly was overwhelmed with offers.

If any are essential, pretty difficult.
Anything else: Put it in the basket.
If you still remember it by tomorrow, think about it before you buy.

Mother's cat stays more days because mother forgot about leaving town for stuff so. I already packed the cat stuff up so unpacked it again.

The mud game I play is doing an event so I'm trying to take part but I'm bad at the dailies and only scraped out exactly how many I needed. I guess I could do like five designs a day but that would be exhausting on my brain. It's still mush.

I need to call the new doctor office since they finally got numbers on their website and not just lorem ipsum so maybe they're finally open! Yaaay.

The kitten is still being a little wiggly creature.
