I went to buy tickets for a bucket list concert (Caifanes & Café Tacvba) and then I found tickets on sale for another bucket list concert (Ricky Martin, Enrique Iglesias, and Pitbull together). I bought tickets for both and made all my plans. Two days ago I got an email from my all time favorite DJ (Mura Masa) announcing a North American tour …so I got tickets to that too. Tonight while I was making plans for the third concert, I saw an ad for another couple concerts (Twin Tribes and KMFDM) and now Im booked to see 8 acts in the next few months. I am so excited I could die. I’m building playlists, and singing like a fool. I keep walking around shrieking to myself and weirding out my cats. It feels really good having stuff to look forward to.

Work was a madhouse today and I’m on day four of fighting off a cold. It is supposed to finally warm up enough this week to melt the ice from last week. We are going on an overnight trip this weekend and the hotel has a hot tub… I am looking forward to it!

1. One of my students got a 98% on their calculus exam. One is graduating college with a chemistry degree and starting grad school and another will graduate with a chemistry degree early next year. They grow up so fast.

2. The dumb minecraft mod pack I have been working on sporadically has had its first early release.

3. An old friend that Ive known since kindergarten decided to hit me up out of the blue because they were lonely and thought I would be a good person to hang out with. We went our separate ways after high school and did our own thing for the last… 20 years and its nice to get back in touch and do stuff together again.

4. So it turns out that most of my close friends are also formally diagnosed with ADHD like I am which is interesting. I guess it makes sense that people that have similar brain hardware might be more likely to be frirnds but still.

I’m pretty stressed out about the situation I’m in. It’s a long story but I’ll try to sum it up. I’m more or less working 2 full time jobs right now along with all the stuff that comes with being a home owner and partner to another person.

One job is “normal”. And boring, so I hate every second of it. Other job is my dream but isn’t currently paying the bills very well. It could, if I could quit the first job and focused on only the second but money won’t ramp up immediately.

I’m not making enough between the two jobs to build up a buffer. Quitting the first job is the best path but it will also come with upsetting my partner for a period of time until the second job ramps up.

I’m so annoyed about how expensive it is to live. None of us signed up for this!

It was a very good week! I had a session with my psychologist where I got to undersand with her a few aspects about my present life.

It feels good to actively understand those issues. Now that I’m aware of them, i can start taking some actions.

Trying to decide if I should go to the orchestra this weekend. I have a ticket, but nobody to go with. Should I do it?

All over the place. Super stressed about some shit, super happy about others… It’s weird as hell.

Pulled my back pretty bad. Otherwise ot much to report.
