The birth (or death) of a relative, the release of a new program, game, series, movie, the date you were dreaming about, could be anything

    Very lame of me, but I’m really looking forward to the Conservatives losing the next British General Election.

      Not from the UK but excited for that too. Asking just out of curiosty because I’m not too informed on the matter, do you really like the labour program or just happy to see conservatives kicked out?

      Also I was thinking we should stop calling them conservatives and start calling them retrogrades since (at least in my country) they want to strip people of acquired rights making us go back in time.

        I am actually excited for the Labour programme, though I realise I’m in the minority! The lack of enthusiasm is mainly because people have so little faith things will actually get better and partly because Labour haven’t always been great at communicating why they’ve made (IMO necessary) changes to their policies.

        Agree with you about conservatives, but that has always been the problem with conservatism, unfortunately.

    My wife is next to me, holding me in her arms while she sleeps. I am excited for her to wake up naturally and then we will go get bagels from our favorite bagel place.

      That’s wonderful. My wife and I are similarly close and I find myself constantly looking forward to spending time together.

    I’ve been working every day since January. Every weekday, every weekend day, every day. But finally on June 15th I’ll be down to one remote job and can go sailing for a few weeks straight. I’ve finally sort of got my finances in reasonable shape, I’ve paid off my car, and have a little breathing room.

      That’s awesome! I commend people who can work nonstop like that. I hope you enjoy your well deserved break!

    I bought a steam deck and have been checking every day waiting for it to arrive… Or even be shipped! They finally packaged the damn thing!

    Hmm. I just realized I haven’t been excited about anything in a long time.

    That sucks.

      I had a similar realization recently. When I was younger I’d be excited for something for months at a time, but now that I’m older I can’t really look forward to something until it’s right there.

      I’ve been trying to look forward to small things lately, even if it’s something small I’m doing for myself like a nice dinner. It helps

    Nothing. Dinner if I must say.

    A new fursuit. Current one is almost 15 years old, has been to dozens of conventions with hours and hours of running around like an idiot.

    Fursuiting for me is a hugely important form of self expression and escapism, I absolutely love it.

    ultrasound basin. you know those small things with water and vibration you dip your jewelry to wash all the gunk off?

    now maybe it’s big enough to dunk jeans and shirts.

    Going home. I’m at some weekend festival to support a hobby my husband has become very passionate about. I’m incredibly happy for him and love that he’s found this but it’s just not my thing and I want to go home. Also some asshole at a party last night said something stupid to me to make me feel unnecessarily unwelcome and I really shouldn’t be letting it affect me. Anywho

    ETA I also really miss my dogs!

      Fuck that guy. He’s the problem, not you. Try to look at it from that perspective and you may ease your mind a little.

      Who does that? It’s horrible to treat someone like that.

    I’m a teacher. I’m looking forward to summer vacation starting June 29th where I get to have 66 days off to be with my 3 kids. They’re now at a really fun age and I can’t wait

    Having just washed my clothes, as a night owl I’m going to reward myself with a nice dinner, when most people are having breakfast.
    Here’s the plan:

    There’s a coffee shop/deli in my town that has the best tomato soup, plus they make their own croutons, the best I’ve ever had for soup, as they are hard and don’t get soggy. I’m going to order two soups for takeout, pour olive oil on it, as well as cracked pepper and cubed avocado. Also, I’m going to air fry some asparagus with garlic butter, on the side.

    Then there’s sharp cheddar in the fridge, I’m going to make a bunch of squares, place each square on a tortilla chip and bake at a low temp for a short time, just enough to make the cheese ooze without it thinning. On top of each chip, a teaspoon of green onion dip and a slice of fresh serrano chilies. That’s the original, old school nachos recipe from Ciudad Juarez back in the 1930s or 40s, I believe.

    Not to toot my own horn, but I think this all sounds pretty damn good!
