Positivity

Alright, so with a new year coming, me and my lovely girlfriend decided to go for it. We’re gonna build ourselves for the summer!

After a while of running quite dry and moving my science on sheer enthusiasm and ramen, I finally got personal research funding and a great side job.

Some may notice that pika@rekabu.ru has been appointed moderator of !Antisexism@lemmy.today and !positivity@lemmy.today. This is my second account.

I’m just sitting here in the shade with a book in my lap, not even really reading it anymore.

I went to the space education center in my city today, and since it was a weekday afternoon, the place was pretty empty. Which worked out better than I expected. One of the astronauts who worked on Spacelab was there doing a talk, and with so few people around, I actually got to have a real one-on-one conversation with him. He was laid-back, sharp, and super generous with his time. We ended up walking over to the Spacelab exhibit together, and he pointed out specific gear he used during the mission, telling me little details you don’t get from the plaques.

I took a walk in the park this afternoon and ended up chatting with an elderly woman who was sitting on a bench near the path.

The last few days had been warm, full of that early spring energy where everything feels like it's waking up.

Today was a beautiful spring day, the kind that fills your heart with joy.

I went for a walk this morning. The air smelled like wet leaves and the sky was that weird gray-blue that feels kinda peaceful.

Hey all, I just put in my notice at work. I actually have enough in savings and investments to not work.

If anyone here remembers, I told about a wonderful girl I met...so, long story short, she's here with me now :)

Alrightie, so here I am, going for my very own PhD! Getting here was still a lot of stress and I was looking for this moment for a while. Now, finally, it actually happens :)

For the first time in 8 years, our entire grand family gathered together this New Year's night.
