Woke up insanely hungry. Feeding my fat fucking face by gobbling up 2 pounds of ham and a whole ass can of baked beans.

Doing a mad prep rush, but taking a quick coffee and smoke break. Was 10 mins late to work today because my rib isn't letting me get to sleep in time. I need those 500mg horse pills of Motrin. Like, 5-6 at night will let me sleep on time.

Nintendo's got some jokes...😏

Getting speed cooking down fast. Spaghetti, meatballs, and veggies all done in 20 minutes (time it took to bake meatballs) now got one kid in the bath, the other in front of Super Mario World, and out on the balcony enjoying my PTSD meds one toke at a time.

Did he ever? The most popular political meme I've seen of 2020 was, "Fine, Biden, but this is bullshit!" Not a fan either, but meh, We're not going to get a real choice until the boomers are outnumbered. It is what it is.

Ha! It worked! Enjoy the horrid quality of before and after 😅

Yeah, at work, pics taken with my phone and all that. It's not too much of a bother. Let me try something here that may work. Facebook's horrible reduction of quality may have simplified it enough.

Oh I totally get how you feel. Been there, it's a dark pit. Persevere, and hoping the absolute best results for you.

Trying to crop pictures down to size for a post. Weird that the one with smaller perimeters is still a larger file size than others. Shame. But I assembled the stand, had difficulties due to faulty directions that skipped over attaching the bridge, and seeing there were no pre drilled holes to attach it. Had to do heavy lifting, drilling myself and finding appropriate hardware from the store to attach it. Fucked my rib up, the one that was broken like 2 years ago. Can't tell if it's broken or not, whatever. This thing is amazing as hell and I'm bummed I can't upload the photo.

Not making it out this year. Want to be in bed by 10 tonight. I'm tired and cranky and stayed up until 3 AM last night building an entertainment center. Had to do extra as the brain childs who designed this thing totally spaced on considering pre fitted screw holes to hold the top part in place so I had to improvise today. Already beat and think I broke my rib again trying to lift the fucking thing up off the ground. Almost done though.

About to head back home. Just out killing time until my drill battery recharges. A lot of projects got put to a halt until it charges. Once home, it's finish drilling the back of my new entertainment stand so wires can go through, get it all set up, add some photos on the top shelves and call it a day.

Man the stores, both online and brick and mortar don't sell things like they used to. I can't seem to find things quite like what is in the pics I'm posting. I want a comfortable leather/pleather/faux leather, whatever. Couch that turns into a bed like what I posted. If anyone has any leads, please post them here. And yes it has to be black. All I'm getting in any results are futons or those weird couches that have one section stickint out longer.

Seems in a way we're on the same type of path into 2024. I seen that you've gone through some horrible shit too, and entering 2024 as strong as you can. Keep going, you're not alone in facing this new year as bravely as you can.

I manage to avoid them pretty good. I don't deal with customers directly. I run inventory, shipping, and relisting items. I can ignore them for the most part. But man just sometimes I still can't help but poke a potato with a stick. But entering into 2024, one thing is certain. Them throwing temper tantrums at this level is putting the word baby back in front of boomer again.

Thinking of how perfect the timing was on one of my potato moments. There I was, pulling the product nobody bid on. One item was a huge box of Depends. I wrote, "The Trump Special" on them before throwing them into one of the bargain bins. Most our customer base are rabid MAGA. Tuesday they're gonna be swarming around those bins...

Excited as fuck! The last package finally came from Amazon. The biggest one. Once this entertainment stand is set up, I can finally rearrange the whole house!

Impatient for this month to be over. I want to see this money market dividend in action. I also want to start on my new ETF, $JEPQ. Things have been sitting and waiting since the begining of this month. The closer this month gets to being over, the more impatient I grow.

I'm still actively playing Tears of the Kingdom. Doing all the collecting and upgrading quests to finish off the game. After that I'm going to try out this PS4 V.R. set that fell on my lap for free. Someone sold it with a broken PS4, so it got returned, and was about to go in the trash but was handed to me instead. Came with all the parts and two games. Saving it until I my new furnature arrives and I get that set up, then I get to see how far along V.R. has come since Nintendo's Virtual Boy.

They charged me after all... I feel bummed lol.

The most expensive Amazon order I had WAS pending in my checking account but then disappeared, yet the item is getting shipped. Nothing in the history either. I'm feeling pretty giddy about this and not saying shit, but gotta keep a couple thousand there just in case.

A show called Mini Force. Been ignoring it mostly but looked up just in time to see one of the heroes had grown into a giant and was destroying the town with farts against their will with their team members having to put a diaper on him. And I thought what I watched as a kid was weird as fuck.

I miss free time. The ability to just fuck off and do whatever dumbass ideas come to my mind. And toilets that let you leave upper deckers in. What the fuck happened to those things?

A lot of behind the scenes prep work to make 2024 even smoother sailing than anticipated. I finished my 2023 goals by early November. Dividends took me an extra mile since. Transferring 40% of my 2024 goal to my vanguard from my savings to enjoy a 5.3% APY (If the money isn't going to be used right away may as well get some interest for it until it's time to be used.) and to also ease up on my monthly contributions through 2024. Also transferring more funds to my global bank as early preparations for a family trip to Lithuania later in 2024. Upgrading some furniture. A new entertainment stand that can hold more shit, a new bed frame that can store shit in side drawers. Might eyeball some better quality dressers and a cat tree or two later on in the year too. Also facing huge mental exhaustion. These upgrades and moves will help make life more relaxed and livable for my family this year as well. But most importantly, with all this shit done and out of the way now, come Christmas I can actually enjoy my paid time off without all this background nonsense nagging at me, allowing me the rest I need.

The walls are closing in. Jack Smith just went to the Supreme Court to rule on any qualified immunity, effectively calling his bluff. No more delays, and I'm 99% certain they'll rule that he doesn't, on account Biden is still in presidency and they don't want to grant him immunity. Smith is making people fucking squirm hard. I'm here for it.

After lurking Twitter for an entire year, I'm seeing how it has changed and (d)evolved, and am getting a better understanding of what the bigger accounts do for interaction. They key to this is over the top stupid tweets. 3yearletterman and Greg have been great tutorials. As far as trolling goes, I can't help but admire Letterman's dedication to invoking controversy. I have a good idea how the basics work. Now I just need to fine tune a profile and finally get paid to troll as a side hobby.
