    I reunited my wife with her semi-estranged son on Mother’s Day. Feeling pretty damn great about how today turned out.

    Planted a small orange tree in the yard. Dug a big hole. Mixed topsoil and citrus fertilizer. Expect to see first fruit in 3-4 years.

    Mother’s Day gift for my wife.

      Setting time limits is smart. Now you’ve GOT to get married and have a kid within the next couple of years. Smart.

        Or you could do it inside out… get married then get a fruit tree, so they HAVE to stick around just to get to try the fruit. Trick is keeping it going for a few decades. That’s where fruit-tree LADDERING comes in. Plant a new one every few years. Wait till fruit. Rinse, repeat.

    I did well training and sparring visiting a martial arts club in the next town. I’m preparing for a tournament next Sunday, my first one.

      I’m in that track too! Soon, so very soon.

      It’s quite the logistics effort unless you can afford lots of help.

      We’re just doing it by hand, so it’s crazy most days, but we’re getting there.

    Recently became sous chef at the kitchen I work in. Constantly felt like I wasn’t good enough and so I’ve been putting more responsibility on myself to make sure things are done correctly.

    Yesterday I coordinated our mother’s day buffet and it went perfectly. No hiccups, no running out of items. Even got acknowledged by my chef for doing such a good job. Felt pretty great.

    Closing on my first home this week.
    In the USA. In this uncertain economy.

    I don’t know what the future holds.
    I’m terrified, excited and anxious.

    … Might need a new Lemmy handle.

    Voluntarily left my cushy job in marketing (SEO manager) after ten years and was substitute teaching in the meantime. Discovered I loved it (always kicked around being a teacher) and love the positive connections made with the kids.

    I’m starting my MEd (Masters of Education program) May 19 to be an elementary school teacher. Not that it matters, but I’m a 40+ father of an elementary school kid myself.

    I am mentally torturing my friends on minecraft with crafting tables. I have made christ the redeemer out of crafting tables. I have filled our base with crafting tables. I have built hundreds of crosses out of crafting tables. I am gods hand and he is telling me to craft.

    I made a house, crafted the bedrooms with the latest decors, put solar panel decorations on the roof and moved in a goth family. It was pretty heartwarming to see it all happen really, though I did delete their toilets shortly before saving.
