I am buying a ceramic light up Mini Xmas tree. I fondly remember my grandma having some of these. It's my first Christmas relatively alone in my own space. So I don't wanna go all out for just me. So this will suffice.

Sounds like you need a headset for gaming and other things for a more enjoyable experience and to tune those funny sounds out. Do you have one?
I started using herbal (cocoa bean) cigarettes yesterday. They're tobacco free and nicotine free. The reason I got them is because of the crazy ritualistic desire still bothering me. I haven't had a pack of cigs on me since mid July. In that time frame I've consumed 2 real cigarettes. Yes, 2! So I definitely feel I'm done with "actual" cigarettes.
I did, however, miss nicotine.. badly. I don't want to vape though. I find myself way more impulsive on vape. I use it way more often than if I were to smoke.
Taking a nicotine spray product and trying to be satisfied is annoying. I can't help but think about the whole ritual of pulling out a cigarette from the pack. Lighting it. Flicking ash.
So this is the best of a bad situation. Harm reduction. These herbal cigarettes aren't as dangerous, at all, compared to real smokes. No radioactive fertiliser used on the crop, no companies adding 2000 chemicals to them, etc.
And I can limit my use to 5-7 nicotine sprays along with 5-7 herbal smokes.
I'm trying lol. I knew I was struggling not having some sorta vice. No drugs, no drink. I was going nuts. So this is a tiny, but safer, sliver of the past.

Wow. Vivid dreaming always gets me freaked out. Not only was it very vivid but it was extremely strange. It always has common themes when I experience it. I wish dream interpretation was more rock solid and I could figure out perfectly why I always dream the same things.

I am really looking forward to getting more time these holidays and really cleaning out my home of unnecessary things. I feel like seeing a lot of it taking up space and messy is bogging down my mood. It represents chaos, a chaos I'd love to eliminate and replace with a less energy sapping structure.
Once much of the business and chaos is all addressed, it'll be nice to just sit back and relax and have the energy and be in a better mental state to enjoy hobbies again without a care in the world.

Stoke me a clipper.
I've been at my cottage for over a week now. It was something like +3 outside and raining when I came here. And few degrees below zero for the past week, and because electricity prices have been high, I've only used the fireplace. After a week, +13 indoors is enough in the bedroom in the morning, doesnt feel cold at all.
I wish I could live here, not just visit. Completely silent, not a single person anywhere near

Absolutely. I had couple of old friends visiting me on weekend, good times, good food and enough beer and cocktails. Other than that, I didn't see or talk to anyone.
Still waiting for the doomsday asteroid event. Eagerly. Lol. XD
Seriously though, I expect when it gets announced (likely by amateur skywatchers) that it'll be refuted and denied. No point in admitting that the end is right there.. societal breakdown and all that jazz..

I hate cats. Never owned one and never wanted to either. I used to live with a girlfriend who had one. I generally tried to ignore it. It mostly ignored me so we got along ok. Never could see the attraction of owning a cat.
Dogs, on the other other hand, are a man's best friend.

Today has been a good day. Best day I've had in months.
I have been fighting with my insurance company regarding my long-term disability and a few weeks ago they denied me coverage dating back to the end of August.... this afternoon I learned I won my appeal and I am now approved moving forwards.

Bought a Colorado Avalanche ultimate trivia book for my buddy. Hopefully he loves it. He's a huge Avs guy, so he should enjoy. He better. I feel dirty. Lmao.
