Engine intake filter and cabin filters changed, other minor tweaks done, car back to mostly 100% after oil change. Weeeee @.-.@

Now to decide which Linux distro to make my main system OS. Dual booting with Win10 but MS has been annoying me lately.

Plus the majority of games I do still play work on Linux so I really just need Windows for my art tools.

Remember back when you could buy a game and it would work out of the box?

Yeah, those were the days.

I've been exceptionally worried about passing and feeling I've become masculine over time.

This is coupled with still getting sir'd or called he in public even tho some people know my name. It's made me uncomfortable.

In such, I'm posting a picture of myself for the wooooorld to see, and maybe provide some thoughts.

I do know I've gained weight.

Really powerful storm moving in. Debating going to meet it and snap pics.

Only downside is the roads inbetween there and there are at risk of sudden flash flooding.

Greh.

Went to the range, pewed guns with some friends, had delicious food after. All in all a pretty good day. ^^

Got to fire some pretty uncommon weapons including a M1941 Johnson, which was a competitor to the M1 Garand.

Going out to the desert tomorrow to go pew guns at targets with friends, should be fun.

Gotta love Eureka! moments working on a project. ^^

Seem to come to me the most often while I occupy the majority of my thoughts on other things for a bit

Talked to my mom about my Asperger's diagnosis and apparently found out she has a mild form of it. Coupled with it being common, or the traits of it, in my family on her side.

I found that oddly comforting as far as coming to terms with it goes.

I was lonely, so I made a friend! ^^ I will paint them tomorrow, but here is dolph-friend!

Some nights can be especially lonely, as my romantic partner lives in Washington and I moved down to Arizona for a job. Distance can be hard for anyone and so can loneliness.

For others who have similar situations, of being far from loved ones, or even friends, or even just needing someone, then here is a dolphin friend for you as well. ^^

Today I learned drinking water while living in a desert is important.

Do not be like me and forget to drink water besides a cup with pills, while on a diuretic like spironolactone, while chugging caffeine, on an extremely hot day.

And then get home, proceed to do physical work of running cables and then wonder why you feel overheated, shivery, shaky, exhausted, and about to collapse.

Drink. Water.

Have laid off weed for about 3 and a half weeks from daily usage and my sleep has returned to crappy. Urgh.

Only laid off because it was starting to make me sluggish the following day and had to counterbalance it with high caffeine levels.

There is no winning, stupid body. -.-

At least my anxiety spikes haven't returned.

Meanwhile at 3:46 AM I'm wide awake. Guess I'll wake myself up at 11 or something.
