aw, poor sweetie,
Anyone want a gratitude thread? I feel like I've been looking at life through a negative lens lately, which doesn't really help.
So I'm going to start this thread. I am grateful for the beautiful autumn leaves I saw on my walk today. I will show photos next time, as the ones I took today made my location identifiable to any georainbolts out there.
I've wanted to mention I'm grateful for the community. Everyone's so great on here, I've been able to ask questions, get insights from people, and just keep up with what others have been getting up to. It's been nice
I love this community!
I'm grateful that I found a competent therapist this year who could tell me I probably have autism and point in me in the right direction for the first time in my life.
Ayy, same here!!
You've got this :)
I forgot to say I'm glad for you too and hope you get some context and reprieve in your journey.
Cheers!
Thank you, very kind :). Putting 34 years of puzzle pieces together. Now I understand why spending all day doing maths and engineering is easier than making friends or finding partners. Turns out It's the brain, stupid.
I recently had some surgery (Iβm ok, nothing life threatening), and I am very grateful and appreciative of the lovely nurses who looked after me. They were wonderfully kind and skilled, eased my anxieties and made me comfortable. A very big grateful shout out for all the amazing nurses out there, they make such a difference when youβre feeling vulnerable.
I am grateful for Melbourneβs coffee
Do you have any recommendations that you wouldn't mind sharing?
all of them
I am grateful I can go to bed shortly and close the door on this shitty fucking day.
Have a good sleep
I am grateful for the frozen calamari I forgot I had in the fridge.
I am grateful for my beautiful friend who I had coffee with today, their continued love and support has been a mainstay in my life.
I am grateful for the some what subsidence of this awful headache. Also that my new door arrives at 7am tomorrow so I don't waste the whole day playing wait for the Tradie.
I am grateful for frozen veggies, letting me get some easy nutrition in when I can't be bothered.
I'm also grateful for video calls. I have a meeting tonight for a volunteer gig and once I would've had to drive a fair distance and then probably freeze in a cold hall to take part. Instead I can participate at home in my slippers with the heater going.
Today as my train was travelling thru marshland on the way to the city I saw a group of spoonbill birds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_spoonbill
just tried guzman y gomez for the first time, and I am full of regret and resentment.
It's the better fast food Mexican place. It earns some respect for allegedly being one of the reasons Taco Bell failed here, so that's nice
To me itβs ok but nothing to rave about.
Thanks for the warning.
LOVE GyG personally!
The margarita slushy is alright
I still haven't been and it doesn't sound like I will be.
OK fuck it. Doom the dark ages is pre-loading.
It's been a rough couple of weeks.
Coming home on the train. The stops and places didn't worry me, I did get a little start when a darkish bloke with a black hoodie, tee and black backpack got on.
I'll be ok. It was just a bloke
tall, dark hair, dark beard, a Mediterranean complexion , indeed, because it was a bloke that looked like that committed an act of extremist xian motivated terrorism when I was on the train on Saturday. That's the description I gave police, as well as another witness.
look up my post history
it was just a bloke, that one bad individual who did it , many men wear black and have black backpacks, there is no need to worry
We do tend to prioritise past experience over objective assessment. Understandable that this should have disturbed you. Kudos to you for applying rational assessment. Can take some time to make this stick though, so don't be surprised if these feelings happen again. Breathe deeply.
it is definitely disturbing to have an extremist shake his bag of weapons and yell he is going to kill all non xians
π’ I did not choose this, it happened
Completely true. Like witnessing a horror car accident. It's right and good to mourn the victims, but take no personal responsibility.
I was at a PD presentation today and then later on had a look at the Other Place (using my phone), and up popped an ad for the very specific thing the PD was about.
I didnβt google anything related to the topic, and only used my phone to check messages a couple of times.
That was a little too much of a coincidence. Bloody technology, snooping on me. Very creepy indeed.
They say the apps don't need to use your microphone to listen in and present you ads but this sort of thing happens far too often.
One time my girlfriend showed me something on her phone and I started getting ads on mine. Either they're listening or they're scanning faces and delivering ads to known friends
Melbcat came over to a visitor for pats and reached up trying to get in their lap! She needed to be lifted for a cuddle but after they got up she jumped into the empty chair independently.
I didnβt think she was interested in getting up there anymore or had the mobility but maybe now I need to get a pet ramp and even buy a comfier (and destroyable) chair for her.
I wish sheβd take her 4cyte. That on top of the solensia and sheβd be able to climb the walls!
Edit: Sheβs still relaxing in her chair
My old maine coone boy would only take his 4cyte if I put it in a little bit of food he had to eat before getting a full dinner. Every house he lived at had ramps everywhere because he loved to climb but couldn't get back down due to having only 3 legs. He would yell at me to carry him from room to room to save him the effort.
One of the boys had a fever and had to be picked up from childcare early on Monday. This resulted in the week up until now just being a fog of Trying To Get Things Done. Things are somewhat back to normal so we'll see how things play out.
I got Bazzite working on the old work laptop. Silly me didn't disable Secure Boot. It loads straight into Steam Big Picture on startup, so I wouldn't use this version as my daily driver, but it would be great for handhelds and loungeroom PCs.
Also, Sleep Token have dropped a new album. I know some people on here dig them. I'm listening to it now.
