Gay Dad Nauseum in North 'burbs of Chicago
@drphdchiburbs.bsky.social
50. Around Chicago. Want to travel again when/if things get better. Love photography and musicking (if you work hard at something, it is no longer playing) and making stuff with my CO2 laser.
So I'm almost finished with Box #5 of the wheel of time. I'm still enjoying it.

Sometimes, taking 5 minutes away from tv or video games to show interest in your partner can be painfully tiring and exhausting for both of you. Thank God it's only 5 minutes.

Here's a good fit for a tee! If you're on the taller side and have a hard time finding clothes the fit, try 3 Fit Theory. You enter your dimensions (ha) and they send you 3 choices with you turning two.
I like this fit!

I've had three different "2025 recaps". This makes sense and it seemingly includes all of the months in 2025 instead 11 for these things that come out in December.
Unfortunately, accurate maths and data principles don't appeal to the masses.

Husband is out of town. I think I woke up in the exact same position as I fell asleep, 9 hours ago.
Will update later on about if it was indeed restful sleep.

I bought a new, new pair of jeans. 33" waist... and they fit! Yay! I'm not going to buy another pair until I hit my goal weight. (Because my current jeans can go to my husband). This gets expensive.

WoT book #4 has 1.5 times as many pages.
Chapter 26 was... exposition. Need to bookmark that.
Halfway through this one. Don't like Faile. But just my opinion.

Do we really need to open the discussion on why blaming all medical issues Americans suffer on "the American diet"?
(e.g., NAFLD)
There are so many scientific and medical reasoning issues with saying shit like that, let alone the colonialist overtones, especially when they are from the UK

ORD to AMS 4/23 is almost triple what it was last year. My dream of using the miles we've accrued since COVID just will never materialize. 350k miles might get me free wifi on a trip from Chicago to... Indianapolis... and that's a maybe.

Hey y'all... there's a difference between getting head and getting a head cold. One is enjoyable and the other... not quite. He specific when you send requests out into the universe.

I *do not* love not being able to plan ANYTHING beyond two weeks because our g******** sucks.
Job? Maybe not.
New travel restrictions? Probably.
Cost of flying domestic or international going to double again? You might want to plan on that.
