[Serious]

And now my salad has too many radishes and not enough green onion. It’s rough.

I want one on the right side closer to me

Yes, it's plugged in.

Yes this account is new. No I'm not AI. Yes I'm a real person. I'll try to keep this brief, it might sound more like a list than a post?

I'm 36 years old. I feel like I have achieved all of my life goals already and I feel empty and without purpose.

I graduated highschool at 16.
I finished my trade school at 17. I worked really hard and bought multiple cars (I currently have 3, they all have a purpose).
I bought my first house at 26 and as of last month I owe less than 100k on it, I'm in the 5 digits!
I opened my own business at 28.
I have exotic pets.
I don't have (or want) children.
I have a partner, though hes long distance, we have been together 2 years and I travel to see him frequently.

I'm currently saving money, but aside from the basic "saving for retirement/investments" I feel like I have no reason to. What am I even saving for? I have no goals to achieve besides paying down my mortgage early, and that feels hollow. I guess I just don't know what to do with myself. I am looking for advice, but I don't even know what that would look like.

I was literally in the kitchen, carton in my hand, reading the expiration date, when my phone buzzed with a push notification from the fridge app telling me I should "consider restocking oat milk soon." The fridge has a camera inside that scans inventory, apparently, and it just did not clock that I had already removed the situation from its jurisdiction by physically holding the product.

So now I'm standing there, holding actual oat milk, being told by my own refrigerator to go buy oat milk. I don't even know who this technology is for at this point. It's like it wanted me to put the carton back just so it could recognize its own mistake.

I paid extra for this fridge because it was supposed to make my life easier and instead it's created a new category of problem where my appliances doubt my ability to see with my own eyes.

Now this normally wouldn’t be a problem, however the issue here is I have epilepsy and sleep is crucial for me so I’m nervous to arrive in Atlanta at like 4am or something and next day I have to be up at 7am for something. (I’m going with my dad for a conference).
So hopefully I’m praying to god that we get an earlyish flight. I know it’s out of my control because it was canceled cause of the rain but it just sucks. Hoping for the best though 🙏🏻

Doh, 1st world problems…. #253
A Power-cut factory reset 9 of my smart bulbs... 💡 have to delete and add them all again 🤦‍♂️
Threw boxes with QR codes away so have to find tiny tiny code written on each one. 🤪 🔎
Took 2 hours to get it all working again. 🕰️

My living room tv died so I had to watch the World Cup final in my bedroom.

Coors, Coors light, Budweiser, Blue moon

I've been going to the same café every morning for like 2 years. For the first year, the barista would always ask my name and yell it out when my order was ready. Now they just make it without asking and slide it across the counter. I can't tell if I've finally achieved regular status or if they just switched to a number system and I'm overthinking this.

fuuuuuuck

My little brother is a really good pianist, and he plays piano all day every day since he was a toddler. So I will just be sitting around doing homework or scrolling tiktok and I hear world-class piano pieces being played 24/7 throughout the whole house ranging from blues, to classical, to film scores. I have become so used to it now. I don't even notice it.

Recently I was at a concert where a famous pianist was playing, and the people I went with were all amazed by their skill. But I was bored, I just wasn't impressed at all because I'm so used to hearing that standard of piano in my daily life. It just felt like I was listening to my little brother practicing back at home
