Weekly 5x5. Letting the folk punk algo pick for me on my drive really made an impact.

New rifle sighted in. Knives sharpened. Gear laid out.

I'm super ready to sit in the woods all day not seeing a damn thing while everyone else gets monster bucks.

i drove my aunt home after dinner tonight. it's been years since i had to drive through lake effect snow. when i was a kid i loved it bc the headlights on the snowflakes reminded me of warp scenes in ST. i still try to catch that wonder while having to worry about not wrecking. being an adult sucks

Wept so much saying goodbye to the cat who's staying with my ex. I think it just let loose the floodgates.

Then I composed myself over the 3 hour drive, and the first thing my nephew asked about is where she was. Welp. I'm at it again.

ordered a pizza to keep me fueled while packing. got the usual weekday delivery guy. i'm a little choked up having to say goodbye. we have seen each other a lot over the past seven years

i have a things staged for tomorrow and am doing laundry. that means i am playing peglin. (been hate playing it for weeks) i FINALLY beat cruciball 20 with ALL characters after 1,364 hours

many of those hours are from before a lot of content was released but i think i'm done with it for a while

i HATE logistics. now all my plans are being complicated by lake effect snow and plans for the dog having to change. also i'm freaking out about not getting everything packed and what will actually fit in the vehicles for the two trips i can make in the time i took off.

our cat has taken to combing my beard with his claws while i read in the evenings. he's been so much more affectionate since the divorce/moving prep has started. i'm really going to miss his little face.

so far in packing up my office i have lost a roll of tape and my good permanent marker. i've also started chaos boxing everything and i am still only like 50% through

sola scriptura is one of the reasons i abandoned protestantism. at a certain point in studying the bible, it makes less sense, esp since a plain reading of the NT speaks against it in several places.

it's still weird to me when people abandon xianity entirely before looking into older branches

i thought i was running through snus fast. while sorting through boxes i found old tins with silver dollars in them and, sure enough, they used to come in tins of 20 instead of 15. i still use them at about the same rate so it's not my fault. pretty rare that i'm not to blame so this is a win

took a packing break and drank the small bottle of wine i found doing so. now i don't wanna pack anymore

so disposable vapes apparently emit super high amounts of lead. guess i'm buying another rig or just switching back to smokeless tobacco entirely

God bless her, one of my lib relatives shared the jesse welles late show performance with me and said "not sure if you've heard of him." i'm not as plugged into scenes as i was in my 20s but i'm at least as aware of up and coming folk acts as a 30 year old
November 23, 2025 at 2:26 PM
oh hey i found some adderall. maybe i'll get some actual packing done tomorrow

It's All Crazy... is my second favorite mewithoutYou album. The Fox, The Cookie, and the Crow is my favorite mwY song to play.

oh why can't we live in a world where i could realistically bid on this?

vaping was noticeably impacting my lungs and snuff was dehydrating me. then i remembered how much i like snus. after poking around it seems that interruptions during COVID made it hard to order from sweden and it never recovered. tariffs have fucked it harder. i'm stuck with camel and skoal i guess

i'm having a hell of a time trying to figure out the logistics of moving, especially if i rent a box truck. i want to ask for help but with my mom and stepdad unable to assist and my siblings either needing to juggle kids or not having vehicles i'm sort of stuck.

an older black lady called me "baby" today at the gas station and it nearly brought me to tears. she said it just like a co-worker from years ago who was a work mom to us all and i loved her dearly. gotta make sure i'm taking those SSRIs or this move is going to utterly cripple me.
November 22, 2025 at 6:38 PM
I need to start packing again but can't force myself to do so.
November 22, 2025 at 3:19 PM
finally got things in place so i can do one of these

Back in Pittsburgh. It was so nice being around family. Now I'm staring down the barrel of sorting through a trillion boxes and packing my shit. I am not looking forward to that at all.
