Me and the SO is going on a two day cruise, where 40 metal bands play. We even splurged on a fancy cabin with a queen size bed. Going to be so much fun!

I gave my PhD dissertation defense on Friday, so I am looking forward to not having anything specific to look forward to.

I haven’t played a video game for any length of time since Elden Ring first came out, so I might play Shadow of the Erdtree. Or maybe BG3. Or maybe I will just do some dnd planning. I want to get some home repairs done, so some of that. Maybe just go chill with some friends. All the little things that I haven’t had the time/energy/bandwidth to do for so long.

I want to enjoy not being consantly anxious about my research and not just be distracting myself from said anxiety, but to truly relax, just for a week or two before I move and have to start job hunting.

Nothing at all

Friday afternoon.

I’m baking sourdough tomorrow.

My brother has been visiting - which is great, we don’t see each other often, just once per year or two - but I can’t wait to have my place back to myself this week. I love my brother but I am tired and need to just chill on my own without anyone else for like a day 😫

My therapist

Got tomorrow off. Might take a nap.

An old, dear friend and his family are in town to drop off his daughter at graduate school. Reconnected with him back in April when I visited his side of the country. Looking forward to having them over and introducing them to my own family.

I made a post last week asking for advice for an interview. I will be starting this week so I am looking forward to starting this week. A little scared cause I’m sure they will make me do programming stuff and I’m not too good with that but hopefully I can be decent enough at it.

Flamethrower training, it’s gonna be lit.

Baking some apple cider donuts tomorrow. Starting a soft sculpture workshop on tuesday. New barré instructor on wednesday.
