happenings: 2026wk15

As i write this I'm contemplating calling in sick tomorrow. I looked at my employee records and i have taken only one sick day in the last year. And three vacation days.
If i was a tech or business bro, this would be a flex. However i work at a school, where all the professors work from home whenever they feel like it and take tons of trips in the summer.
But tomorrow is Fall registration day and I'll be fucked on Tuesday. Kids are already emailing me today (Sunday) about help for registration tomorrow. This is a catholic school...Why the heck are you emailing me today asking for me to do something before tomorrow? I hope they know i don't work weekends like the professors, i mean its on the department website.
I'll probably end up working remote tomorrow. So a half win.

I'm looking for a personal trainer again. I had one last year near the end of the summer and it was great. But the gym was a 25 min drive. And the only think i hate more than Billionaire politicians is driving more than 10 minutes at any given time. I found a few closer ones but they don't list their prices on their sites. I have to go in. FFS. More driving. If its more than $300/month, I'll buy $500 dumbbells and do it on my own.

My childhood friend who got married reached out after 2 years. I asked to met up and chat (she lives 20 mins away...too much) and she hasnt responded. She seems to be busy grinding at her job, so i'm sure it will be hard to find a time. I just really want to go to a restaurant.

I introduced my family to a local Bog with a trail and they have been obsessed with it. We are not an exercise-together family, so it's new for us to be taking almost daily walks. Even my Dad is into it, the man who stays at home for 90% of the year since he works remote.

I ordered my old SSRI that i was taking in my gym era last year. Somehow they make waking up at 6am to workout much easier, i don't even need creatine. I just had the positive energy. Maybe it will have the same effect. Maybe I'll double the prescription without permission because i refuse to pay $40 to see the doctor in person to up the dosage. I also miss drinking, so I'm not sure how long I will do this. When i was high on life, I was also having the motivation to go on dates with some egotistical chucklefucks, as one reader put it nicely. I hope I don't ride the high too much.
