I like this thread.
I'm mostly keeping very busy with working on my house. In the past month I began re-leveling floors, installed a sump pump, and am working on painting some of the hideous paneling on the walls (which looks much nicer). We have a list of high-impact stuff we want to do before we have people out for my wife's graduation ceremony next month.
Work has been improving for me and my boss is really trying to make sure deadlines that we schedule are reasonable, which is a big improvement. I'm starting to look at whether I could start a side-business as well though that's still in the early stages.
I'm starting to get really happy with the slow momentum build that I'm seeing on Mastodon. The broader network is growing at an enormous pace, but I'm also finding there's a few EoFFers (both on my instance and abroad) that are moving more and more to interacting via the fediverse, which is really cool. It helps that Twitter is a horrible place and Facebook is self-destructing, so I think there's a real desire for genuine interactions on a platform where your personal details aren't being sold to the highest bidder.
