You should see her on the beach!

Otherwise the front cabin is for storage + litter and ventilation is set up to suck all smells out!

Northern Atlantic sailing with all the whales!

This boat has been her home for the past three years but it did take her a few months before she started coming out while sailing.

Nahhh, while sailing she gets unlimited wet food because she doesn’t drink as much so most of the grumps come from the need to wear her life jacket to go outside haah

People talking on the other side of a wall. Built a whole life around avoid that possibility 🙃

Makes me so grateful to have a girlfriend that excitedly asks to watch BSG with me. (Although I’m looking forward to being done with the new caprica arcs)

Pretty sure we had a deal with them years ago where we were required to use oracle products for everything. So that’s how we ended up with so many of out apps running on oracle DBs.

Went snack shopping with the girlfriend yesterday because tomorrow we’re going to watch big sailboats (Sail GP F50) go nearly 100km/h! (I like sailboats)

Eh, I never had any issues taking my concerta in the morning and having beers in the evening. Not sure what the negative effects supposedly should be lol

I usually don’t drink much if I took a Ritalin booster but I’d still have a beer if going out for dinner 🤷‍♂️

(But to answer your question, the amount you’d ingest while cooking would be negligible. Add it a few minutes earlier if you’re worried.)

Last time I took a mental health sick leave was for three months after a breakup. Back then I moved into my parent’s in-law suite and basically just tried having one single task on my todo list at a time. Wether that was dishes, making my bed or showering. (This excluded taking care of my cat as she didn’t sign up to be neglected) I mostly worked on 3D modeling projects at the time and worked through the process of buying a sailboat to live on. The biggest help for me was being able to get “old people meals” from the local small grocery store and having.

These days I haven’t needed to take time off because I pre-emptively sail to a remote anchorage for a week or two and separate myself from being able to run errands or be available for people except the once that help me recover (they bring me food and cuddles :3). No neighbours, no noises that aren’t me (except the screaming kitty) Only me in my lil solar powered spaceship taking naps until I slowly start being able to do the tasks I wanna do.

I know I’m doing better when I start just naturally cleaning up the counters, working on lil projects and my brain doesn’t need 2-3 naps a day. For my sick leave I was starting to look forward to working on my work projects by the third month. Oh and the emotional disregulation started fading lol

But yeah, sleep and reducing demands (including even just the POSSIBILITY of doing things) is key for me.

Oh 100% And I was thinking of extreme examples with the Pickering Nuclear station having (once up to) 8 550MW reactors dumping heat into a fairly shallow part of the lake and the NB reactor having no chance to remotely affect the bay of Fundy temps lol.

Lil halicination farms on the seafloor are a dumb idea but not because of heat affecting the environment beyond the thousands of organisms that would live directly on them.

When on stims I set my alarm for an hour before I gotta be up, take meds and go back to bed. Wake up as the meds are already kicking in.

After that it’s just doing whatever works for you to release some of those sweet sweet brain chemicals your meds are effective on.

The plants on the lakes so monitor the water temp so they don’t affect the ecosystem during the warmer seasons still.

But I doubt the one in NB had to worry about that when more water flows by it than all the rivers in the world combined.

But yes, much better source of cooling at the cost of maintenance and equipment. Just like tidal power but with fewer moving parts.
