How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

[Tsar Nicky]

I'm unironically fat, retarded and currently unemployed but other than that doing pretty okay

 

[JosephStalin]

Not feeling great. Discovered that some people I considered friends only actually tolerated me because I’m married to Mr. Fraggle and they’re his friends, so I spent half of today miserable whilst also trying to look after a cranky, crying baby. It’s left me feeling pretty isolated and anxious, like I feel like aside from my husband, I don’t have anyone any more.

You have your husband and your baby. Still ahead of many.

If they were your friends only because of your husband they never were your friends in the first place. Now you know how worthless these people are. And you now owe them nothing. No need to play any games with them, just excuse yourself should they come to see your husband.

Better to have just a couple of true friends than a bunch of phonies.

Also collected my last paycheck from my old job at Johnny rockets today.

You didn't offer any of us those Johnny Rocket shakes?

Rude.

I literally shitposted all day. From the moment I woke up at 7 to now..... 3 and something am. The last time this has happened was in 2014. Internet is scary.

 

[WhoBusTank69]

Currently in a rut where I do not know how to progress. Though in a self-sufficient state I am aimless, a Jack of some trades with an interest in none.
I think this is where the desire to build a log cabin in the woods comes from.

I'm feeling so lonely I could cry tbh. I'm big autismo to the point I have 0 friends and a family I can't get close to, but not am not retarded enough that the isolation doesn't hurt like a bitch. I am feeling the last person in my life that fits the mold starting to drift away and I'm not looking forward to another period of just hanging in there, but hey ho.

 

[Cool Dog]

Pretty much

 

[Monkey Shoulder]

I fucked my right knee pretty bad a few weeks ago, and now my left knee is going because I had to change the way I walk.
And l still can't sleep more than a handful of hours each night.
Other than that I'm pretty good. Been mostly sober for 2 months now.

 

[Elysian]

I got laid off
Everything is worse now

 

[Anime Kid With Goggles]

I just had a nocturnal emission for the first time in my life. It's very annoying and fucking bullshit. I have to wake up in a sticky pile of coom and replace my fucking pants, and it's not even my fucking fault, my body just decides to do it against my will. Dumb ass fucking shit.

I had to make an appointment to put my cat down yesterday. He passed away hours before the appointment.

I had to put mine down at the ripe age of 9 last year after his FeLV destroyed the circulation in his legs. It wasn't fun.

I deleted all social media last year and this is the last place I post that requires registration.

Do it. You'll feel better.

Deleted everything after the 2016 election and still don't miss any of it.

Currently in a rut where I do not know how to progress. Though in a self-sufficient state I am aimless, a Jack of some trades with an interest in none.

I'm the same way, have a job and a home, self sufficient, yet socially I've made effectively 0 progress towards a partner or developing new friendships or socializing at all. I'm missing something and have no fucking clue what it is.

I had to make an appointment to put my cat down yesterday. He passed away hours before the appointment.

My elderly kitty (~16 or so) had bone cancer that they found in April. She went downhill out of nowhere fast   

Spoiler

and died on Thursday when we had her appointment booked for Monday

. It fucking sucks, I feel you.

 

[Reluctant MC]

Good evening gentlemen and gentlemen
I felt pretty good and relaxed these last 2 days, let's hope it lasts for a while. I hope everyone else is doing great or holding on.

 

[Figger Naggot]

Not great. I've been feeling shitty for the past month. Always tired, joint pain, been getting some swelling around my elbows and feet. So I went to my doctor to get some blood tests done last week. The results came in a a few hours ago and they told me that I tested positive for markers that indicate I have some sort of shitty autoimmune disorder. I'm going to have to visit a specialist to figure out what's causing it. Considering I live in a place where it's prevalent, and the fact that I've had to pull ticks off in the past, I'd bet money on this being related to lyme disease.

So far everything hasn't been nearly as achy this week, so that gives me hope that this is something that will come and go in cycles. I'm also seriously fucked if this is something that will permanently inhibit my ability to work physical jobs, so I hope whatever this turns out to be is something that's treatable.

I felt the need to briefly sperg about this somewhere, even if it's to strangers on the internet.

Edit: The earliest appointment I can get is three months from now

 

[kūhaku]

Finally got covid, seems to be one of the weird ass new variants. If I didn't know any better, I'd think I got the flu and the test was a false positive. Symptoms are identical and I haven't gotten any of the covid-specific ones.

 

[Stanley the Gay Wizard]

me and the hubs are off tomorrow and an old buddy of mine and his partner are coming to the house tonight. This is going to be so awesome.

I’ve been really stressing since Saturday and I don’t want to be a downer but I need to just vent: I’m really hurting and I’m scared. I had a really bad grease fire in my apt when I was making breakfast and it did quite a bit of Damage before I was able to extinguish it.

I received second and 3rd degree burns all over my left foot/ankle as well as a number of less severe burns on my hands and face. I just received a skin graft from my thigh to replace the destroyed tissue on my foot. This will be my fourth night in the hospital and it’s the most excruciating pain I’ve ever been in. I’m currently waiting for a nurse to help me hobble over to the toilet. I feel so embarrassed and useless right now. I don’t want to stress my parents out too much so I’ve been playing it cool with them, but I’m not in good shape right now

So my elderly cat (16-ish, had bone cancer) passed just shy of a week ago.

Got the cat's remains back from cremation today and also

Took my (12 year old, large breed) dog to the vet this morning to address pain and swelling in his hind leg. X-ray indicated an enlarged spleen, with a mass over top of it.

If it is cancerous (odds are very good that it is and it's highly unlikely he'd survive the abdominal surgery to find out for sure), he might be lucky to get 4-6months. We have an ultrasound scheduled to look at it and find out how bad it is, and find out how long he's got left, because it seems unfair to put him through further treatment.

TL;DR: Stop the world, I wanna get off, and fuck everything.

Had a really nice walk today, no pain in the ankles, no back/hip pain, just a little upper-back tightness noticed a couple hundred yards from home. And to think there was a time when I could take such a walk for granted. Walked about two miles.

Walked through local 'regular' supermarket. To quote from the movie "Animal House', it was a deeply religious experience. Regional name-brand butter was $7.29/pound. 38-ounce bag of plain M&M's over $15. Yoplait yogurt 89 cents a cup. Individual Tastykake snack cakes/donuts $2.29 each. Marie Callender pies over $11.50 each. Price of cherries still $5.99 pound, but that's due to a 25% drop in the cherry crop. Commissary prices - the same butter, less than $4/pound. The M&M's, $10.08. Yoplait, 39 cents a cup, and they usually have a $1 off coupon when you buy five, so I get five cups for a little more than the price of one downtown. Tastykake snack cakes/donuts maybe a dollar. Marie Callender pies about $5.60 each, have a couple in the freezer. Price of cherries the same. Walmart prices would be lower than the supermarket, but not as low as the commissary.

Went to get a couple of donuts. Noticed a black man wearing some sort of pinkish shawl ranting and raving in the middle of the parking lot. Lot is big and not busy this time of day, so no danger of anyone hitting him.

On the way back stopped by a small construction site, long dormant, now active again. Asked why things had been dormant. I find if you look non-threatening, are nice, and don't get in the way, you can learn a great deal. People will tell you a lot. Found the project had been having permit problems with the city - no surprise, our city is good only for screwing people around. We discussed the sheer amount of new construction in the SF Bay Area in general, and in our local area, and wondered where the hell the water was coming from to support the houses, apartments, etc. We concluded by swapping stories of inflation as it applied to each other.

The sun's out, and I believe my two-year-old granddaughter in Guatemala is starting pre-school today, while the 14-year-old grandson should be starting school there today, as well. A nice day, so far.
