Back from hospital today. Upon arrival Thursday was in so much pain I had to be just about pulled out of the car. After surgery, woke up in recovery room, legs no longer hurting. Mighty grateful. Care excellent. Right now a little residual pain from previous inflammation. Looking forward to post-op visit. Thanks for the support. 👍

roll over?
 
It's remarkable how quickly the sadness starts to disappear when you're as mentally shattered as I am.

Also, I'm going to get drunk.
I will be chugging 80 proof orange liqueur.

Update. Kitten is in heart failure. It's my brother's, so the decision is in his hands.

I'm crying. We have only had the thing for a week and im CRYING?

There's something poignant about a kitten in heart failure. We care a lot about our pets, especially when they're helpless little things. My brother had a similar reaction to his cat's diagnosis of feline coronavirus in the inert stage.

The most you can do is offer the poor thing a comfortable life and minimize it's suffering.

I'm sitting on my front porch, enjoying the balmy breeze of a warm, foggy morning. There are eight dogs nearby, as well as some of this year's goat kids. My wife is next to me, and quiet. The only audible sounds are birds and insects.

This is a proper start.

Thanks. Today Max, the kitten, is apparently doing better. He does, however, have a heart defect. So, we do plan on making his remaining life comfortable. We think he was probably thrown out because of it, and we won't do that to him. Sort life or not, we'll make it good.

I've officially got the job I applied for. Part time retail, but it's a start right? Until I actually find something in the field of my major. Especially one that's close by. I've been out of the workforce for over a year (covid+being full time student) so I'm anxious about getting back into things. But the managers seem nice and all.

My bf has a similar job working retail, and normally I'd take care of most of the house stuff and cooking since I was at home all day doing classes. I warned him that with both of us working we need to share some more of the responsibility. But I'm worried he'll just sit on his butt being lazy. If he does, I'll make sure to kick his butt into gear.

Explained to my parents about how that kid who committed an hero and got all this stuff was bugging me bc I felt like the only thing I got out of my life was depression...And then had the audacity to ask if I was looking forward to anything after I said the kid got it good since he wasn’t living in clown world anymore

So you basically used an 8 year old's suicide to try to make your parents feel sorry for you, because his family got a settlement but all you got is depression, then you said the 8 year old was better off dead? Can you seriously not see why your parents, or any reasonable person in general, would be unsympathetic to that line of reasoning?

It's honestly fucked that your takeaway from a child's suicide was "he got all this stuff" (first of all, he didn't get anything because he's fucking dead).

They’re well fucking aware of it. I didn’t fucking say the kid was better off dead
 
Strange. I feel somewhat tired, but at the same time this feeling keeps me going. Also, french macarons have become my white whale and I want to keep making them until I fucking nail it.

Take care, people.

I did a test and was found to be seriously deficient in vitamin D. I got a booster dose of vit-D and after a few days I felt better, leading to feeling comparatively unstoppable by the next week. I'm hitting PRs in the gym - focus and discipline are at levels from years ago. I've got a few booster shots planned over the summer. Feels good man.

Note: Might not work for others but get your levels checked, most people are deficient unless they live in an area with good sun.

I’m trying to overcome my anxiety of dealing with the impending summer heat. I just want it to be fall already.

I relate fully, as someone who lives in a place that can get over 100 degrees during peak summer. Maybe more than the heat, I absolutely loathe the bugs. Every time I go outside I get several more bites. I wish I appreciated the spring here more, since I won’t get comfortable weather for several more months now.

With the uptick of people seeking mental health aid during and post the lockdowns its been really hard getting in with my psych outside of the scheduled appointments and I no longer feel my meds are adequately working and it has me a bit scared because the first opening isn't until end of the week.

Doesn't sound like long I know but I'm worried of a major issue kicking in before I can talk with the doctor and I'd rather not have to watch myself get sick again. It's worse when you know it's happening than before diagnosis.
