I love Pearl Jam! I had Ten on cassette when I was 14, bought Vitology on CD when I was 16 but was never a huge fan, then I saw them live in 1998 and loved them since!
I took my Dad last night, I told him back in 2018 that if there’s one band you need to experience live, it’s PJ. Took almost 6 years, but we got him that experience last night!
Happy sober friday folks!
Mine is over and it was rainy, comfy, indoor and I napped for hours in the afternoon We have a long weekend here so everybody is away. Hardly traffic and rain, best combo for lounging and napping on the couch.
Happy Friday brothers and sisters! I’m always excited because I have my celebrate recovery Friday evenings with an amazing group of people. Me doing a complete 180 in all the ways I was living, things get pretty hard in these weekend nights alone. This always give me something to look forward to in my growth as a man, a good friend, son, father, etc… preps me for a great weekend. When as before I would always look forward to that seat at the bar of loneliness and pain. Have a blessed Friday
I’ll see if I can get a few pictures for you. There’s usually ladies in amazing 50’s dresses. And men that looks like, well… like the guys in Grease with their hair back and everything.
I have a hospital appointment firstly this morning to photograph /scan some moles for any nasties as my Dr referred me.
Couple of gym classes later to set myself up for the weekend nicely: weightlifting then yoga.
Three of my longest friends are coming over tomorrow for an extended lunch and meet up as I’m hosting. So, today will be some food prep for vegans and flexis alike. We have been friends 25 years ago will be nice
Connection should be good.
Have a great weekend.
Edited to add, I’m awaiting another skin consultation as I’ve had several big bites (I think mosquito, but could be spider) on my legs that haven’t healed since the 26th May and are still driving me insane with inflammation and itching. Ii know that in my teens I was allergic to venom/whatever the little things stuck in me, and i have had to been treated for some scary repercussions of a bite with medication, but it’s been years since that happened. At least it’s not worse, but honestly I’m so over these bites now praying I can get a hold on my skin issues at the moment as literally since the bites happened I have hives appearing all over and I’m getting a bit down in the mouth around them. Gahhhh.
@Planipennia hey Matti…how’s it going? Hope it’s a busy schedule that kept you from starting this Friday off …have a wonderful day
@Tragicfarinelli best of luck with the appointment…those bites can be annoying as hell. I know I would get gnat or spider bites every year around my ankles and they would last for 8-13 months…last time I had to cut it out cause it just wouldn’t quit. I do hope they are able to figure it out and give you something to bring you relief.
Happy Friday everyone
Up and ready to head out into the crisp cool morning for a lovely walk. Gonna be a busy day. Working a booth for the restaurant at the Pride festival tonight. This is always fun and with the weather being cooler will not be a heat overload like last year. Just hope we are closer to the stage this year.
Have a wonderful day / weekend
That is the absolute worst. As I’ve gotten older I’ve reacted worse and worse to insect bites/stings, most recently to a spider bite on my forearm. I’ve been reacting badly to mosquito bites early in the season the last couple years with giant welts, luckily after a few bites it seems my body adjusts and doesn’t freak out as badly the rest of the season.
That combo of itch and pain is miserable. I hope they can offer you some relief!
Happy Friday, indeed! Looks like a beautiful day and the end of a pretty good week for me. I’ve spent as much time as possible outside and kept very busy in my garden and running around town for supplies as I beautify my space. It has brought me a lot of joy and helped me deal with some remaining mental funk, both giving me quiet time to work through some difficult thoughts and alternatively get into Zen mode and shush my brain from time to time. I really needed this, well I’ll extend that to I need this on the regular. I’m grateful to be understanding that about myself (yet again, I just get away from that understanding often).
More outside chores today as I clean out my pots from last year’s garden and prepare planting areas for some late vegetable/herb garden planting. Thank goodness for high quality starters from local growers!
I’m also preparing myself for a week on my own while my husband travels to Italy for work, the lucky duck! He flies in to Rome and will spend time there and also in a couple cities in both the south and the north parts of the country. I’m excited for him, mildly envious, but looking forward to living vicariously through him. Some alone time right now is a little scary as I feel a bit vulnerable but if I make the most of it I can really benefit from that time, too. But for today we will spend time together when he gets off work and go out for a nice meal tonight. Enjoy your day, friends!
