... and now I have a temperature! :(
On a more positive note, watched episodes 1 to 4 of Stranger Things and I am liking it so far.
My cold got very annoying last night, I didn't get to sleep much, so today I took a rest day (just some yoga, no exercise, long nap in the afternoon). I did paint an abstract landscape on a whim. I think it turned out nice, so I will probably revisit the concept soon.
Half of my brain is telling me we are too tired and should sleep all day, the other half wants to pick up Esperanto and go back to learning python... Being off from work is confusing. XD
My gemini capsule has a gemlog now and I update it usign a script I made...
I tried running but it was too hot and I am too out of shape so I only did 10 minutes, then took a long walk. It was actually quite nice anyway. Tomorrow I'll go back to an easy training plan so I can get myself back into shape and start training seriously for the charity run in a few months.
I feel like I have been away from here for ages. I think it's just a couple of weeks though?
Work has been intense... but not I am taking a couple of weeks off! My first two days off I was basically a low-energy blob of tiredness, but I am starting to feel a bit less burned out already.
I have been away for a few days: work life got *intense*.
I hope everyone in here is doing OK?
It's really hot in Italy right now, it's kind of hard to function - but I just need to survive June then I'll be in Finland enjoying some holidays!
JinJer is back in the set list for Tuska, I hope they make it. I also wish we'd read good news about the situation in Ukraine in general, but I feel like that's wishful thinking at this point.
Whever the topic of younger generations comes up, I've been trying to explain my father where their nihilism comes from, however I think the generational gap is too big for him to really understand.
All this time spent being grumpy about how adding my Now updates directly into the html page is uncomfortable, and it *just* occurred to me I can chug it into a text file and use cat.
Love, Death + Robots S3 was amazing. As good as S1 and S2 if not better. I liked each episode, but I think "Night of the Mini Dead" was my favourite because it made me smile a couple of times.
Those who reached out to me in my sad update the other day: thank you so much. It means a lot to me. <3
I need to scream into the void. Please ignore me. It's just... it all hurts so much and I feel alone. I'll be fine in a minute.
I wonder if there is a gemini ring for geminauts with Now pages...
New project: added to my capsule a list of books that changed my life. The list is small for now, but I will keep adding more. gemini://tilde.club/~melyanna/library.gmi
I have no energy today. :(
I was hoping to go for a run, or at the very least for a long walk; turns out it's too hot and I am feeling too tired to even move.
Spent all day reading and mucking around with my pi instead.
Anyone doing anything interesting with their tinylog feed?
I hear a lot of people saying they are abandoning gemini and moving on to something else (or back to the WWW) but I actually like it more in here than anywhere else.
It's been an intense day at work! Busy for sure but felt productive and went in a breeze. I feel like I could sleep for an entire week now.
Writing from my phone :)
Revamped my gemini capsule a little (also moved it to tilde to keep experimental things a bit more tidy).

There is content I want to add and I'll move some stuff around so it soon won't look like a big wall of text anymore!
I completed my first Wings for Life World Run today!
The run is for charity and has the purpose to raise funds for research to cure spinal cord damage.
It was great fun and it feels great to have set and achieved a goal. :)
I already registered for my next one next year.

Breakups suck. I feel hollow.
“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
Since I lost things I had in my life that made me happy, my brain now can't accept I can be happy again and just goes into "this won't last" mode whenever I am feeling happy about something in my life. How does one break this loop?
I am back... I think? How is everyone?
Not feeling my best right now. Sad and anxious.
Counting the days until I get to see my Love again. <3
My afternoon at work was one giant meeting-golem made of smaller meetings, from 4pm to 7pm.
Well, hello World.
