    I’m waiting for my wife to give birth! We’re going to have a little girl this weekend and I’m so excited. It’s our first, so there’s lots of nervousness about it.

        Yeah, so we just finished up and are relaxing in the postpartum room. My god, it was a messy process there at the end.

        But I got the little redhead girl I wanted, so my wife and I are very happy.

        Here’s to firsts 🍾

          That’s wicked. I’m so happy that you’re that! You guys have a new family member and are doing well. It’s a really weird experience becoming a dad. You know your wife is going to have a baby. You’re somewhat prepared for this life-changing experience, then someone hands you a baby.

          One of the things that most people don’t tell you is that as a dad, you’ve had no time to bond with your kid. Your wife is had 9 months however feeling every little flutter every little kick. Don’t worry about not connecting with your kid right away. It’ll happen.

      I don’t know why the one on the bottom makes me laugh. Looks like he’s got a wicked hang over and you’re talking too loudly lmao

    A friend who I’ve only known through the Internet is flying up to a neighboring city. So, my husband and I are driving down to meet him in person for the first time.

    It’s crazy that I’ve interacted with him for close to a decade without ever meeting him physically. Wish me luck!

    I’m camping on the side of a lake at a state park with some family friends, which is very fun.

    Visiting my 6w/o nephew at the hospital. He was born early with a heart failure and immediately taken to a special cardiological clinic and I hadn’t had time to visit him and his parents yet. I’m quite excited to meet the little guy.

    Thanks for asking.

    Friday was my 40^th birthday.
    Saturday will be spent playing with my new lenses, reading my new TTRPG books and finally playing in the Pathfinder 2e campaign I’m in.
    Sunday will be yardwork and relaxing.

    Currently drinking a beer in bed. Tomorrow I’m going hiking in the morning and to a country dance bar at night. (The latter is definitely not my thing, but I’m being supportive of a friend.) Sunday, another hike and lunch with a friend, and then I’m thinking backyard fire pit time with my partner. Monday ideally will be games all day, but we’ll see if life gets in the way.

    Planning to drug myself into sleep, then live vicariously through Lemmy when insomnia kicks in, maybe write something of use to someone, while trying to balance painkillers, nightmares, and existential anguish long enough to get to physical therapy next week, without thinking too much about what I want/should do but can’t.

        Tea brewed over a couple to few hours in the sun. Drop some teabags into a large glass container, seal it up, and place it into sunlight. Works best on especially hot days, as you can run the risk of bacteria if it doesn’t get to a hot enough temperature to kill it.

          Interesting. Why not use a water boiler? Does it taste differently when warmed up slowly by sun?

            I suspect some folks would say yes, there’s a taste difference, but I’m not real sure there is. For me it’s something my Grandma made, so it has that special comfort angle.

    I’m gonna install arch linux for the first time :3

    Today I did a bit of handywork around the house.

      It will be difficult to understand how to set up the boot partition, at least it was for me the first time. But I learned a lot during my first failed attempts… :)

      Arch has an installer these days though which often works but not always.

      Same here! Although my partner has no concept of “too cold” so we’ll end up on the beach in the middle of winter too.

      Talking to our little boy our plans for the beach are:

      Make a smiley face, Find Seaweed, SAUSAGES!

      That sounds nice. We spent a pile of time at beaches this summer
