how's your week going, Beehaw

my entire family got sick so i have been in the unenviable position of suddenly being load-bearing, and i'd greatly appreciate if that was not the case

Individual acts of kindness are keeping me going through the late Weimar. I'm writing this from the garage of a friend who offered to let me stay with him while we deal with "not going to get above freezing for a few days."

For a bit I thought my new prescription of lexapro was going to carry me through this year but the week of feeling joyful has leveled out and I am just as grumpy and annoyed as before. Just less sad. I want the joy part, though.

Got like 3 feet of snow in 3 or 4 days, I stayed at home, good :)

Little high, little low. I'm adjusting to online discussions after not being part of them for quite a while. Had some fun conversations with my partner and I am writing again, which is great. Job hunting is such a drag though. Simply inhuman.

Hello and hope you feel better Alyaza!
Spent the weekend playing TTRPGs and honestly, I'm learning to cherish these moments because it's kind of awesome that I've got 2 separate games going on that's able to fit in my schedule and energy levels.
Watch the premiere of Last Week Tonight with John oliver and it's such a breath of fresh air after watching Jon Stewart. It's my first time watching Jon Stewart this past year and I don't understand the hype around him. I guess he's funnier than Oliver but that's about it.
Started playing Pillars of Eternity on Xbox Gamepass. I'm not super far in, so I'm hoping that the real-time with pause combat starts clicking with me sooner rather than later.
- I started PoE three times and couldn't ever get into it. I hope you have better luck.

Been sick since Thursday. Finally on the mend I think and I'm exhausted, hot, and mucusy.

Hopefully your family gets well soon, it really blows when you're the only healthy in a household.
So far so good, I'm finishing a photo project I started last week and the band that commissioned me is so far happy as hell with the images they're getting. They're even going to be giving me a shirt and a copy of their album when it releases.
I can't share the images until they get the ones they're happy with but I'll definitely share those over on my PixelFed when I'm done with them.
I've also got it down to just Lightroom holding me on Windows, I'm planning to learn some of the open source alternatives once I'm done with this project as not only has Windows over stayed it's welcome so has the Adobe suite. My plan is to leave Windows (ideally) before the end of March.
- Your Mt St Helens photo is beautiful!
  
  Thank you!
  I'm particularly proud of that one, I was hoping to give a couple other local peaks the same treatment this last year but the conditions just didn't align right with my time off.
  There's hope for this year though!
- Beautiful photography!!
  How do you like PixelFed?
  I’m in the process of establishing a nonprofit. I know I’ll have to manage the usual social media sites, but I’m looking at starting accounts on alternatives too.
  
  Thank you!
  Pixelfed is pretty chill overall IMO, especially with how it's algorithm is implemented. Chronological and only what you follow unless you look for things, things it's just chronological.
  I'd recommend keeping your work social media accounts separate from personal accounts, it makes things easier to maintain and easier to keep a public image.

Hello! I'm sorry for your family and I hope they all recover quickly. I've been spending my days working and slowly getting better at managing my own stress levels; therapy was a godsend for me and my therapist is an angel.
