How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

First day of an extended vacation. I do have to deal with one guy in a couple of days for a few hours, but the next two weeks I can cause hell. ... Honestly I don't know what to do with myself. Not any even heroes to slay lately.

Also woke up just in time for another thunder storm. No fans, no music, no dealing with anybody, just rain, thunder and goofin'.

I usually don't notice because my weight is normal/slim, but for some reason I feel really bummed out after looking at fat people threads and videos of people talking shit about fatties. Most of the time it's more covert and they pretend to hate them for mostly other reasons but... idk. While I agree with some points, I feel bad because it's obvious they'd get less shit for that "other stuff" if they were thin. What is wrong with everyone? What is wrong with me? I shouldn't give a fuck. But for some reason it hit differently these days.

Pets have this sixth sense on their owner's emotions and act accordingly.

A couple days ago, my male Red Eared Slider was basking on his bridge (His daily routine) and still has his old shell pieces (scubbing).
"Look at you, boy! Growing up well and scubbing, so healthy!"
He raised his head proudly in response. A year ago he was basking on his old bridge while I was sitting on the sofa, depressed. He stared at me intensely
"Irwin, are you staring at me to cheer me up?" A wink, as if saying "Of course!"

It's like to this turtle, I can't be sad near his presence.
Yesterday I took a local yoga course and a negative art idea about self-harm dissipated. I thought of OPL and how he used those crystals and thought, "He is the Universe's and God's Cosmic Joke and proof God has a sense of humor."

I agree 100%
You complement the female turtle, she whips her head upwards as if stating, "Thanks; I know I'm beautiful!" My Red Eared Sliders seem to use every part of their body to communicate affection, even dancing to welcome my mom's fiancé (who spoils them by food and buying them their tank)
They wink to communicate; if you're near them, you might as well have given them permission for affection. A few days ago when I entered the kitchen, the male swam in my direction as if preparing to give affection. I even theorize that 90% of their affection is spontaneous, 10% is planned since lizard brains are cunning.

Hell, they even get ready for their cooked vegetables; they are aware that the veggies are good for them.

Got dumped at the beginning of last month, but honestly I feel a combination of anger (for her making such a flippant decision after dating for years) and liberation (finding someone better) rather than sadness.

However, instead of just jumping back into dating for a rebound relationship, I've been working on getting into better shape. I've lost about 16 lbs so far and I have at least 10 more pounds to lose before reaching my first goal around the end of September. The overly rapid weight loss is partly because I was deathly ill for about a week where I could only eat chicken noodle soup without clawing out my throat from pain. I'm thinking of doing some simple calisthenics so when I get to my ultimate goal weight (losing an additional 30 or so pounds) there might be some muscle definition with the fat gone. Maybe 50 reps of crunch, squats, and push ups?

I’ve mentioned a bad coworker a couple times before. Today was the final straw for bosslady and he ended up getting fired. He had made a comment to an older female coworker that he wished he were working on a site that allowed him to carry his gun, specifically mentioning he had hollow point rounds. She was concerned enough to tell me. I relayed it to bosslady who immediately deactivated his keycard and sent out a group email that he’s not to be allowed on site. I feel conflicted because he didn’t make any actual threat, but with him bringing something like that up out of nowhere, the older female employee feeling like she had to tell me, I felt I needed to bring it to the higher up’s attention. Nobody liked this retard, but now that it’s a done deal and he’s gone, I have a few people acting a bit differently towards me, like I i kicked sand in a baby’s face or something. Not sure what the deal is, just feeling kind of…sad isn’t quite the right word but close enough

Anxious and heart is palpitating: heard rustling in my closet; that mouse is still in my room. The electronic mouse repellant is useless save for a jack for my charger. Not really scared of mice, but NOT looking forward to having to retrieve rodent corpse from an old fashioned mouse trap.

Just find a cat lady and borrow their cat. They'll get rid of the fuckers for you and then you can dump it back on the owner.

Funny you should say that: directly next to our apartment, we DO have a cat lady with multiple cats. Very sweet lady

But my mom is allergic to them, So we're sticking to glue traps and old traps.
 
Initially was looking into Hungarian citizenship after the whole 2019-2020 fun time era and incorrectly thought I wouldn't be able to go through the simplified naturalization process. Looked into it further and it appears I'll be able to with certified and translated documents in addition to knowing Hungarian at an intermediate level.

Considering the happenings in the US I think its time to open up the checkbook and get some researchers to get those documents, learn Hungarian and wait to see what happens here. Even if the process fails I can say I have tried something. It also might motivate my parents to stop playing house renovators in their retirement (boomers) and instead actually start looking at options. The problem is I'm also finally starting to not be lazy and pursue some professional certifications/licensing in my fields of work which would also be useful internationally.

Edit - grammar.
