I was thinking more like drink a Ghost Bubblicious Strawberry Splash and do push-ups, sit-ups, and air squats.

You sure? You haven’t lived until you take them to get ice cream, then take them to a beach surf shop to pick out fishing nets and let them run around in there with them when everything is either a seashell or made out of glass.

lol yeah i'm 99% sure that's not for me. For one I would need to meet a partner that I'd want to have them with and that's been a hard no way, not gonna happen with this person or that person on that front so far.
I'm 41 now so I think that time has past. I have other things I need to do before I bite the dust at this point.

My uncle didn’t have his first kid until 60, so it’s never too late to start! And he’s still KICKIN it at damn near 97 years old. I mean dancing at wedding and shit and pounding bottles of wine kickin it.

So my wife has been having problems with depression, and went and talked to somebody and got on antidepressants. She's been talking to me about giving it a shot because she's worried about how many it is what it is's I have left,
But I've hit that point where you're just raw dogging life fueled by caffeine and nicotine, realizing I could lay in bed all day on the weekends and be depressed and miserable, or sign up for all the overtime and be depressed and miserable and double my paycheck. I mean, my mental health is garbage either way, I had to go to a therapist when I was a teenager and apparently I went through more trauma before I was 15 than most people do by the time their 40. On the flip side...I still owe like $15-20k on my car, and at the rate I've been going, I could pay that bitch off by the end of the year and maybe buy a motorcycle too.
As much as I hate feeling like I do...I've hit that advanced blue collar depression where I'm gonna see if I can make an extra $30k this year. I'm kinda worried about fucking that up.

Not to make a debate of it, but so far it's been my experience that having kids is basically a 50/50 chance that it'll be the best or worst thing that ever happened to you - if not both at the same time. I've seen some parents who are sort of completed by the whole family unit, and I've seen other parents whose entire sense of self worth and will to get through the day were obliterated by trying to raise kids. I'm on team no-kids, unless you're already well established, have a trustworthy and stable partner, and are doing it on purpose. Most parents I know who don't check all three boxes have landed in the "just shoot me in the face" category.

I saw a meme about the Witcher that pretty much sums me up as a dad, It was Geralt with a shirt that said I hate kids, then a frame with Geralt and Ciri, then a frame with Geralt and Ciri where his shirt said I hate all but this kid.
Granted it's given my wife and I both anxiety because we're terified we'll wind up being as shit as our parents were...sometimes it turns out the person who hates kids until he has one is so good at dadding it's not even funny.

While a healthy and positive option, it is also the prison option.

Literally any hobby can become a time eater. The good time eaters are creative hobbies. Muzak practice, perhaps?
There are far too many people that become parents that, deep down, don't really want to be. Blows my mind that it happens so often, when there are so many options to prevent it. My wife and I were birth control adherents until we were absolutely certain, then the snip and I don't regret it for a second. The last thing I'd want to do is create a life as miserable as mine for some little munchkin that never asked to be born.
Not to say that it's all misery now, but man those growing up years when you just damn well know your parents would rather you weren't around are HARD on a person. And I just wouldn't want to risk it. That's not a "come on and take a chance" type of game in my mind.
Today's FWP:
Bought a new battery yesterday for the bike, since the old one could barely hold a charge. Replaced it, went to start it, fuck. Don't even get lights. Since it's a Suzuki cruiser, you have to dismantle half the "shell" around all the guts to even see where the fuses are. So this morning was an hour of me sweating, grunting, swearing, throwing tools and fucking around just to replace a itty-bitty 30amp fuse under the shell and then get the fucker tossed back together so I could ride it this morning.
And it still has bent handlebars, so I have to remember to pull my knee out when turning right hard, or I stab the shit out of that knee, plus it can scratch the tank. I want to get them replaced, but literally nobody will look at it until after Sturgis (so September sometime), and I don't have the tooling to keep the bike upright without all its parts on it. Definition of a FWP. It's ridable, just missing one mirror and a slightly tweaked bar.

Deltek is no longer supporting the software we use for our timesheets at my office, so now EVERYONE needs to catch up on timesheets so we can upgrade; guess who hasn't done one at all this year? This fucking guy. And guess when they're due by? Fucking today, end of day.
Shit sucks!
Shit sucks!

I just bought my wife an outdoor hot tub for her 40th birthday.
So now, not only do I have to make a spot for it (gonna cut a little wedge into the patio to kinda integrate it), but I'll be paying 100€/month for the next 1.5 years.

So after years and years of depression, all the drunkeness and manic episdoes that most of them I don't even remember, I decided to talk to someone (especially now thanks to covid I can do it at home), and actually try some meds that work. Fill out all the online stuff and waiting for my first ever video call...and waiting and waiting. Then I get a text that there's nobody that can help me . God...I love the irony of that, I needed that laugh.
So now, after as much as I've been working, was planning on just sleeping all day Saturday, I have to wake up somewhat early because of my stupid mental health.

Glad to hear you're looking into it, I was gonna comment on your last post about it here and suggest it may be a good idea to start talking to someone. It's one thing to push through and distract yourself to cope, but it's not sustainable in the long run.So after years and years of depression, all the drunkeness and manic episdoes that most of them I don't even remember, I decided to talk to someone (especially now thanks to covid I can do it at home), and actually try some meds that work.

I mean, I've been dealing with this shit most of my life. There's the whole joke about how millennials think 10 years ago is the 90s, I have worked and drank myself to bed so long, 10 years ago it was like 2010 or 2011. I have lost a couple years of knowing when the fuck it is.
I've felt like this for so long, I'm kinda scared of feeling "normal"

Good mental health care, whether it’s therapy, medication, or a combination, can really make a big difference in your life. It’s definitely worth putting in the effort to find the right people and the right treatment, and to give them feedback. The feedback is critical in getting everything dialed in and making sure it continues to work for you.So after years and years of depression, all the drunkeness and manic episdoes that most of them I don't even remember, I decided to talk to someone (especially now thanks to covid I can do it at home), and actually try some meds that work.

Good step to make the move and talk to someone. Even though it's easier said than done, take the time to find the right person to talk to. If you don't feel comfortable or don't feel like you're able to fully share with that person, make the effort to find someone else. Do it on your terms and you'll get a whole lot more out of it. The right person can surprisingly help break through walls and properly process the things in your past.
Just because the first person you talk to has a title of some sort doesn't mean they're the best fit. It's who and what you feel even if you have to retell your story a few times to find who you feel is right. This kind of stuff doesn't get enough recognition or encouragement. Sleeping may seem like a great immediate solution but it's valuable time that could go toward getting you in a better headspace. Hang in there and fight the fight. There's good help out there no matter how dark, difficult or pointless it may seem.
