But why am I obsessed with slow rising squishy’s? Maybe I’m just hungry.

I'll be honest: I burned out real hard this fall, between my wife's surgery, not being able to finish Yule Be Sorry in time to publish this year, and just the world at large, so getting any words feels great. I missed these guys. 336 words so far, and it's a slow day at work... 🤞🏼

“How was it? You were pretty quiet all day on text." "Weird not to have me nagging you every hour?" Cal teased, and his dad grinned. "A little bit." "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll hear from me more as I settle in." He let out a big sigh as they crossed the parking lot, his breath clouding in front of him. "I don't know. I don't think I've quite processed it yet. But the boss is kind of a jerk." "Grumpy old fella?" They crossed to their respective sides, and Cal opened the shiny red door. He must have gotten it washed again. Any time his dad ran errands without a bed full of cabinetry or lumber, they were guaranteed to go through the car wash. Cal shook his head, both at the way his dad babied his truck and in response to the question. "Grumpy young fella. He's probably only a few years older than me. But he doesn't seem to like his job much. Or maybe he just didn't like me." His dad's head turned sharply toward him as they pulled out onto the highway. "Misgendering?" "No, no. Nothing like that. Just didn't even give me a tour. Showed me my desk and expected me to fill in the blanks, I guess." Cal swallowed and looked out the window. "I'm making it sound worse than it was. How was your day? You get the Kramers' kitchen installed?"

He's 40. He is who he is. They are incompatible.

I could never, I'm already frustrated just about reading this.
My (f38) bf (m40) takes so long to run any errands that it disrupts my day and it's threatening our relationship We've been together 3 years and this has been an ongoing issue and I'm honestly at my wit's end. My bf has admitted that he's nervous and overly cautious behind the wheel. However he's SUCH a slow driver that any errands he runs take almost twice as long as I would take to do them. If he has 2 or 3 places to go.... forget it, he's gone all afternoon. I don't mean complex errands either, I mean things like going to the grocery store for just a few things. This translates into his movements too, and he just meanders around taking his time, even if it's more urgent, like if I've sent him for an ingredient last-minute because I'm making dinner and we need it. It's slow to the point of being disruptive. I end up getting incredibly frustrated if I'm with him, and when I'm not, I end up doing everything else that needs to be done that day while he does one or two errands. So his day might look like 1. Picking up HIS online order in store 2. Grabbing a couple of groceries 3. Do a couple of dishes (maybe) While in response, my day will be: 1. Mop and vacuum the floors, 2. Do 3 loads of laundry, 3. Make dinner 4. Walk the dogs 5. Clean the bathroom a bunch of other little things. When we do things together, I'm left getting frustrated over simple activities because they take SO long, and I have to cram all the things into the rest of the day while he works (from home). He absolutely doesn't care how it impacts me, and has repeatedly told me that I'm being unreasonable for "rushing", either on foot or in the car, I'm just too impatient, and that I drive too fast (occasionally true but usually it's the normal speed, I'm just more proactive than he is). He also thinks he's the only correct one on the road and every other person on the road is going too fast and being unsafe. Every one. So am I crazy to consider ending things over this?! I feel like we will literally never have a functional life together and I will be left carrying everything all of the time! If it can be resolved, how do I approach the issue in a way he will acknowledge and actually consider? TL;DR: My (f38) bf (m40) drives incredibly slowly, takes the longest routes he can, and otherwise just takes so long to do any errands that I have to take care of absolutely everything else and I can't rely on him to even run to the store for 2 things in a reasonable amount of time. He thinks he's right, he's being the safest, and everyone else drives/ moves way too fast. I can't see a functional life with this, so how do I get him to understand?

Things are gonna be a bit slow for the holidays. I got Balatro Mod Project #3 mostly planned out but I'm gonna be out for pretty much all of next week, no need in getting busy just yet.

Might stream this coming Thursday/Friday. Been thinking about a dedicated Granblue Fantasy Versus session. Maybe.

I’m hoping next year to…somehow get my creativity back. Find more ways to share my OCs and stories with others. I don’t know if that means figuring out why I hate drawing, trying to write again, or making a game I don’t hate…but if life could slow down just a bit maybe I’ll figure something out

Has anyone else noticed that bluesky is really slow today? Like sometimes I'm having to hit the post button multiple times, and just recently it said it posted but I can't find it, it does not seem to have posted. Maybe it's just me, but I'm thinking It's bluesky. Everything else is working fine.

Morning routines in the Rosette household! A cozy moment of cuddling between a pair of Very Busy Scientists. :3c

I'm really happy with how the ambience came out here. It's so shiney and warm!!! And you know how much I love these two just existing around another.

Zinnia and Chris are spending a slow morning together. Zinnia is all shiny and gorgeous, naked in the morning light. Chris' looking on all lovey dovey, forgetting about his floating coffee. He comes up behind Zinnia, holdin her tiddies and looking very content with himself. She looks happy to see him, and a little mischevious C: Hm... Hmhmhm...<3 Z: Good morning, Chris! I trust you slept well? C: Boppies... tidbies... Z: Hoohoohoo! You're such a sweetheart! While her assistant puts his head between her tiddies, Zinnia pulls out a device with her agenda for the week on it. It's got a bunch of listings, and a rain cloud for the local weather Z: Let's see... what's on the agenda this week... The bloom is happening soon... I've got a follow-up with Phoney... Oooh! You're gonna start a new game on stream today? Chris looks up from between her tits, his eyes all shiny and lost in the warmth of the moment. C: M... No. Z: No? Do I have the date wrong? C: Too comfy. Dun wanna. Z: Chris! You can't stay in my chest for the whole day! We hjave things to do! C: ...Pleeaase? Z: ...Okay, maybe for a little while longer. C: yesssss <3 Zinnia and Chris start unabashadly cuddling, with Chris giving her tons of kisses while she giggles. C: Chu! Z: Oooh! hehee, hoohoohoo!! As the two get closer, she starts looking visibily aroused. She's tangled him up in her tentacles, he's looking up with a blush, and a growing blush is on her cheeks. Z: Hnh.... mm... Mmmh.... Chris gives her one last kiss, leaving a string of saliva with a smile. Next we see them, Chris's hand has trailed it's way down her body and found its way between her tentacles, and it's grabbing him back as well C: Oh, don't we have things to do? Maybe we should... Z: Oh, but I'm so... Couldn't we just... Oh, come now, Chris! Please! C: Heh. nice. I'll make it quick. Z: No need. I always have time for you. Maaaaan. He is NOT making it to his stream on time.

Maybe I'm slow to the game but I just listened to Murs album Love & Rockets 3:16 (The Emancipation)...How haven't I seen this being talked about? It's so good!

...is far from ideal.

Streaming and YouTube? That's a start, but quite a slog. Slow and not enough to sustain myself.

Freelance? I don't really have the skillset for that. Or maybe just not the experience.

Go back to writing music? I'm so out of practice.

I've been at a bit of a roadblock

I’m still on this shit because I’ve had a slow day at work to just sit and stew but do you think any of my current problems wouldn’t exist if I wasn’t as arrogant and prideful in my teens/early 20’s? maybe god is real and I’m being punished for my stupid sins lmao

I was really going through it last year, huh (poem by me, last september)
meadow in early autumn -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- though I know to be quick i rip the bandaid off slow it hurts, what a surprise? not sure why i do it despite everyone’s pleas, i let the misery stay leave suffering prolonged and, so maybe i feel somewhere deep down inside like i deserve the pain I know i’m not alone scared to jump straight into the unknown; where you find new realities but, the old you is always dying, just making way for new perspectives from eyes you’ve had all along ‘ my Thoughts sometimes feel fake but the feelings are real that’s really certain, i think i’ve got a body and a soul but I wish i could just watch life happen through my computer screen a disembodied mind watching a boring reality show would I yearn for this life if i was a brain in a jar?

Maybe I'm just slow but I still can't understand how the best way to deal with lower prices and everything being affordable is to buy less stuff.

That maybe works for that particular bridge

But I’m not sure how to approach a word like ƛ̓éxətəm Regional Park, where it’s not just accents

Googling and cutting and pasting each time is slow & not a practical solution

Wait, how did David Lynch die in January? Maybe it’s just the fuckfest that has been 2025, but I could have sworn that was only a couple months ago. I’m gonna need the world to slow up a bit, I wanna get off.

Me looking up EASY crock pot recipes

The recipe - effectively cook the chicken before adding to the slow cooker.

Listen maybe I’m just lazy but if I’m gonna use my slow cooker I prefer to just drop the ingredients in the pot and then not have to think about it for 5-7 business days

Maybe I’m just an idiot, but after I finished Mouthwashing, I started reading up on what it all meant and my reaction was “how was I hell was I supposed to extrapolate that?”. It requires a lot of reading between the lines and jumping to conclusions. Again, maybe it was obvious and im just slow.

Thought maybe it was my 12 Pro Max just getting long in the tooth that was causing Marvel Snap issues, but now I’m on the 17 Pro Max and it’s still janky. They’re pretty slow on the bug fixes these days huh?

100% with you on that. I'm sure overtime, SW2 will be a good standalone machine, but it is lacking now. Thing is, every console and handheld after the Wii has been lacking early on except the SW1 and maybe the PS5. I'm just used to a slow start from consoles now.

The posts are going to slow down now. Reality has set in for a bit and all I can do at the time is just do things I enjoy, be who I actually am and just wait.

I'm not delusional and thinking maybe it'll go back to exactly how it was but... I love her and she became a big part of my life.
