very specific but if I find out any of you work for PaloAlto developing their linux VPN client I'm going to fight you sincerely, the sys admin trying to support your garbage pile of software

Annual performance reviews and self reflections at work are the bane of my existence. I'm spending hours polishing and typing what I do in a way that HR wants instead of doing actual productive work D:

After 10 years together with @doubledogx2.bsky.social I proposed to him while we were on top of the world together in the Alps. He said yes!

I'm so tired of dealing with bad news Got word today that my grandpa is in the hospital due to heart issues and severe edema around his heart, lungs, and legs Then my aunt now needs to go to the hospital Then like 6 months ago I was basically told to say goodbye to my grandma (she pulled through)

Me wondering why I'm so wired at work right now Me realizing the coffee shop I frequent changed their iced coffees to be triple shots, and I've had two this morning

The owner/CEO of my company is like 85 years old and was calling my sys admin team nearly daily this week because he kept getting confused when trying to connect to the VPN. He's nice and all, but man do I think he needs to retire.

One of those nights where I'm just kinda feeling useless and not good enough I know it's just my brain being dumb

When a user somehow manages to disable their endpoint protection AND THEN ASK WHAT TRAFFIC WE MONITOR ON COMPANY OWNED DEVICES Those are some pretty big red flags

Honestly looked like the top AC hotels were already sold out BEFORE the general opening...

Started my second batch of mead on Sunday and it's already at about 10% ABV and tastes pretty good :D

I wish more people would post their fursuit maker in their bio or in their pics I see so many cute fursuits and can't figure out who the maker is 😭

Man, I hate being alone with my thoughts

Finished playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 the other day and I can honestly say it's one of the best games I've played. The writing, voice acting, setting, and performance are all phenomenal Now I just want more of it D:

I <3 farmer's markets I wish I was better at planning out what I'm going to cook so I could buy more of my ingredients from local markets

I'll be honest, I've been trying to ignore some brutal anxiety lately. My family lives in Minnesota, and my mom isn't a US citizen. She's afraid, but being strong about it. It just breaks me knowing that my mom is scared everyday

At what temperature am I allowed to leave work lol Asking for a friend

Paid off the first of my student loans today. It was the smallest one, but it still feels like an accomplishment. Hopefully I can get through the rest of them sooner rather than later

Stremio + RealDebrid + Torrentio combo is so nice for streaming. Genuinely was getting pissed off with the fact that streaming apps I was paying for wouldn't give me HD streams even with gigabit internet

My company's HR can't go a year without fucking up our benefits somehow through lack of communication.

For dinner I made seared Hokkaido sea scallops with garlic wine butter pan sauce, parmesan/pecorino risotto with fried shallots, and prosciutto wrapped asparagus with balsamic glaze @doubledogx2.bsky.social is in a food coma now :3

Helping wrap gifts!

Get back into work after MFF only to find out that my manager didn't do any of the tasks I usually do, while I was gone 🥲

Even my barber today commented on my weight loss 😭 It's nice to know others notice it even if I don't see much of a difference myself

it is absolutely demoralizing that I'm going to miss Thanksgiving because I'm sick and Christmas because my family is visiting my grandparents in Germany for it

Idk if it's the stomach flu or food poisoning but I haven't felt this sick in a long time x.x

Day two of my internal alarm clock waking me up earlier than needed x.x Just like a real dog, it doesn't understand daylight savings

Got news that my grandma most likely won't make it through the next couple days and that my family in Germany has already said goodbye I can't say goodbye since I'm here in the US Not taking it very well right now

started making mead and expected it to take like two weeks to finish brewing it's somehow done in like a week nearly 14% ABV too :D

Made French toast, corned beef hash, and eggs for brunch and now I'm watching Tail Spin with @doubledogx2.bsky.social <3

Hot water in our apartment building has been out with no ETA on a repair. So now I'm boiling a ton of water over and over to make a bath for @doubledogx2.bsky.social I feel so medieval right now

Will my tennis elbow ever get better? Will I be able to get back into lifting weights like I was? Stay tuned and find out! But for real, the elbow pain has been driving me nuts x.x

Ughhh my man called and told me my sister was in the ER for four days due to severe pancreatitis. I just can't catch a break with bad news x.x

Come get a piece of this >:3 #FursuitFriday 📷 @ferinoch.bsky.social

Just got a call from my grandpa that my grandma had a massive heart attack and emergency surgery to put in 3 stents. I'm only slightly keeping it together for now and haven't really processed it yet

Intense nightmares two nights in a row has not been fun x.x

When the spam/scam furry artist bots can't even fill out their FA bio xD "insert your artistic style"

I really need to get my fursuit refurbished x.x But I'm also super paranoid about shipping my head and it possibly getting lost

I dislike doing SOC 2 audits :)

Band I missed seeing last year is doing a North America tour again this year but in cities they haven't done. So the closest options for me are either Milwaukee or Grand Rapids 😭

I hate that it's still hit or miss on if I can actually get my ADHD meds filled on time About to run out and pharmacy says they're out of stock and it might be two weeks before they get more :)

Going to work after being on vacation for two weeks sucks x.x Trying to do anything meaningful at work today was nearly impossible

Omg I'm flying back to Chicago and just got a business class upgrade :D

Flying back to Chicago tomorrow. My time in Germany is always too short. I'm also always terrified that when I say goodbye to my grandparents, it'll be for the last time :c

Went up in the Alps today :3 I can't get enough of these mountains

My 85 year old German grandpa has been wanting cinnamon rolls for a couple of years now. Unfortunately, I forgot to make them last year for him, but I delivered this year >:3

genuinely running out of stuff to watch I have such a bad habit of binging stuff, like I just finished Solo Leveling in a couple days D:

When only one person in your family remembers it's your birthday :c

Older pics but I got ass for days

Meeting at 6, be sharp. We’re discussing the leadership in the house hold. Bring Coffee.

I bought some pink cut off shorts a few months ago as a joke. I got too much ass and dick to really pull them off xD What do you think?
