Playing X4, despite the crashes.

But to be really honest, giving drawing lessons to 9-11yo kids. Something I never considered doing in my life, but damn does it make me feel good, though the kids' progress (or lack thereof) often leaves me wondering if I'm actually being any good

Started a new job that I landed after nearly a year of being unemployed. 100's of applications and maybe 10 interviews for my effort. I finally get a break from that fucking slog.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's amazing, congratulations! I despise looking for jobs

Its summer here and I hate summers!! But I feel so greateful and happy that I am in a safe and comfortable enough environment to be able to be naked whenever it is too hot.

This is such a privilege considering I am a girl.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

As a never nude I commend your bravery and I hope you enjoy it to the full extent of the law

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My family. I feel really good that I can trust and rely on my parents, that I can talk to my brother, that I have my grandma close and still healthy. It's a privilege to be related to these people, to be honest.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Can't choose who you're related to, so ya, it is a great privilege when you're surrounded by good people and you have that network of folks you love and can rely on

Right this very second, my chicken preening herself next to me, occasionally pausing to make sure I see her preening herself so that I continue to sweetly praise her

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

That is adorable

[โ€“] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

Good chicken! What a pretty and fancy chicken...

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I don't wanna reveal too much personal info but things have been going so well for me for a while now! So I'd say this current one ๐Ÿ˜ƒ I'd say the past two years have been the happiest ones of my entire life

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

As long as you're happy, I'm hyped for you, keep that happiness streak going!

Most days my husband. Some days my kids. Some moments my job. Every night i love how comfortable my bed is.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Love this, I am like 3/4 of the way there, I just need a bed like yours to crash out on ๐Ÿ˜‚ mine is killing me!

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

We ordered it from Costco. They have a great return policy and will pick up things they delivered if you want to return them. Plan was to buy a mid price memory foam mattress and then, if needed, keep exchanging it for the next one up until we hit our budget limit. The first one was perfect! It's been 9 years. I don't know how long beds are supposed to last. We rotate it periodically and it's still crazy comfortable.

Today's a dear friend's birthday, and I've got a really cool present for them!

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Honestly, prefer to give a good gift than to get one, there's something so nice about sharing something with someone else

I was able to revive my old PlayStation 2 thanks to Hacks and Homebrew and I'm replaying several games from my childhood apart from playing several others that I couldn't at the time, and I'm having a wonderful time.

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm interested in knowing the titles you're playing, if you care to list them.

[โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Oh the list of all the games is veeeeery looooong, like 70 games, but my current favorite that I couldn't play in the day are:

  • Psychonauts
  • Zone of The Enders
  • Yakuza
  • The Simpsons Hit & Run
  • Downhill Domination (this game is Rad as hell!!)

While some that I'm replaying because they are really REALLY good are:

  • Devil May Cry 3
  • Soul Calibur 3
  • Lego Batman
  • Sonic Megacollection plus
[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Soul Calibur 3!!! Yeah!!!

That all of my recent health issues the last 3 months were temporary.

[โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

GOOD. You need your health, and I find it's the uncertainty that can be so stressful

[โ€“] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Love my kids, love my wife. Feel useful at work. Getting rdy for the final stretch of my undergrad. Life is a grind atm and I don't have a lot of free time, but I wouldn't swap it for anything else.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

I'm in the same boat, I feel like I've never been busier or more stressed at times, but it all feels so worth it for all the good things going on simultaneously

[โ€“] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (5 children)

I'm aware that it makes people cringe, but it's so true that I've never been more happy; more bottoms than a top could ever ask for... Enough to over come the negativety from all the judgemental or bitter queens.

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Super happy for you and wishing you lots more happy years ahead! โค๏ธ

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Stoked for you, and Iove that description โค๏ธ

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Not more stoked than I; I've never had a busier social life and my asocially autistic ass is still surprised by it each time I get another invite.

I made a shit tonne of brownies and ive had 2 cups of sugar in one day alongside 5 cups of coffee. WHAT A DAY TO BE ALIVE

PS. Folks add pomegranate molasses to your pantry and your brownies. One of my favourite ingredients to give a dish complex depth in flavour, works with sweet and savory.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Sugar for all its supposed evils really does bring me daily joy
