How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

Day eight of tapering from antidepressants! I'm actually OFF my meds now. A couple of brain zaps, but feeling good!!!
Walked everywhere, organized my house, played with my family a lot, and just enjoyed music.

I tapered off pretty well, but tomorrow will be day three of being completely off it. I'm expected some worse chemical withdrawals but fingers crossed it isn't too bad.

I cried for the first time in a long while today. I lost a family member last year and was numb to it-- even though it was a heartbreaking moment to grieve for them in such a raw way it was also beautiful to feel again

I got Covid again lol

This is my fourth time through, so I’m hardly despairing, but it is pretty annoying to have to stay in bed coughing every other time I open my mouth. Just as I had plans for the week, too. :/

Oh well, at least my bed is comfy. And I’ve got vidya + snacks, so it’s not all gloom and doom. Maybe i’ll even be more energized by the time I get better, so i’ll be able to do what I planned more efficiently…

Well apparently the bumblebee gave me a five-star review and recommended me to all its' friends because I found a red admiral butterfly in a similar position today. Climbed up onto my hand no problem. Tried to take him to a flower where he could get some nectar and rest but nope - went to sleep on my hand instead. Chilled in my garden for about 10 mins before it woke up and flew off to join other butterflies in my neighbour's fig tree.

I should probably preface this post by saying that my grandpa is an asshole who has burned bridges with both friends and family, stole 10k from us, stole from his own mother, and his own son has made a point to not even let him know where he lives so he doesn't have to deal with him anymore- but grandpa is currently in the process of trying to speedrun Jack Scalfani's record for strokes in a single day. He had one a year or two back, then had one today after a bad fall where he fractured his face. He's in the ICU and has had three(!) strokes since. We're all kind of in this weird mental space between "holy fuck it's finally happening" and "this is a genuinely terrible fate and I feel bad".
My mom has said plenty of times that when he passes she'll throw a party, but now that the time might be coming she's starting to feel guilty.
My grandma will probably breathe a huge sigh of relief that she doesn't have to be afraid about running into him in town anymore.

...of course he could also possess Jack Scalfani's cockroach genes and proceed to live for 10 more years!

3 months ago I quit my morning retail gig after 5 years cause I needed a better source of income. Worked a few months for a rehab center as a patient transport aid. Didn't even break enough bread to cover gas mileage. Did two weeks at 7eleven. That's when I learned apparently in New Jersey there's no law in which an employer has to give associates a break. After dozens of applications and interviews I decided to go back to the morning job with School on the horizon and the need for a new car creeping up on me. I figured if I just cut my hours down from that and my evening job I could stand it. And of course after me and few other people left the department actually got upgraded and doesn't look like a make shift counter in a defunct cafe area. Plus our old department head left for produce and was replaced by a more competent girl I got along with so maybe it will run a little smoother.

There's a strip mall near my house. I've been slowly lowering my expectations for work and was in a really bad headspace for a while, but when I get back from camping I'll probably basically just go door to door across the entire strip mall dropping about resumes talking to them and getting their application forms and webpages. If I get something there I won't have to drive this winter

But why? She didn't make him fall and have the strokes.

It's more that she feels guilt for wanting her own father gone and out of her life, even though he treated her so badly over the years. She's still got this feeling that she shouldn't wish that on her father. My step-grandma sent a photo of him in the hospital and he looks so terrible, I can't help but to feel super bad that he's going through that. We all hoped that he'd go by being hit very abruptly by a manure truck or something.

On a funny note, my step grandma is afraid that this will all "get his driving privileges taken away" as if he isn't, you know, on his goddamn deathbed!

My grandma, mom, and uncle already have a plan to go to Disneyland together next month so it's likely it could turn into a "Ted's dead, let's go to Disneyland!" trip :lit:

The weather is starting to get a bit chilly again, so I'm back on this website. Missed you niggers, but I have to touch grass sometimes. Managed to drop around 23 pounds, and while I'm still a bit chunkier than I'd like, I'm back in the healthy weight range. Definitely has helped with my general health. Now that the weather is cooling down, I can add in some exercise in addition to my earlier dietary changes.

My dog had a cancer. Luckily, the vet was able to remove the entire thing surgically and the dog is completely recovered now, but it's always worrisome whenever they get a health problem. He's starting to get a bit older now, and this was a reminder of that.

Just got done reading some of the malignant politspering going on in the Trump thread and it has reinforced my opinion that the best thing I have done for myself in years is stopping following or giving a shit about Politics.

That's how they get you voting for politicians who are set out to dismantle your country though.

I'm looking for lesser developed countries where the USD is still strong. I do most of my work online so leaving this shitshow seems preferable, especially since niggers are talking about bringing back lockdowns. I will not allow myself, my soon to be wife, or our future kids to grow up in the heart of the country that believed in turning my kids into trannies and periodically making them prisoners in their own homes.

I just learned that I won't be able to test out of an introductory course on a subject I already know everything about. Can't wait to sit in a 3 hour lecture weekly and not learn anything, what joy.

At least it's a very easy A, but that's still 3 hours a week of daylight I could be using for something better (probably not).

I got two perfumes today, and I really like them.

Yves Saint Laurent: Opium Pour Homme EDT
It smells old school compared to what's the the perfumery trend for guys nowadays, bland and "inoffensive". So it's a shot at a better time, because it smells elegant and formal. Spicy with star anise, which is basically unheard (the anise) of in more recent scents.
Wish it smelled a bit denser, but the retards at YSL discontinued the Eau De Parfum version a long time ago. And this one is discontinued too, so overall. They have discontinued their best scents and all their new stuff is big flops.

Boucheron: Jaipur EDP
I get mostly powder from it, but it is such a unique scent that's addicting. Another note that's unheard of nowadays

I'm watching a video about the convergent evolution of prehistoric "false" turtles, essentially reptiles that evolved the turtle body plan independently of the real turtle evolution line.
It's really interesting and I like this kind of thing but I can't keep myself from cracking up

It's because the guy spends a lot of time talking about one such species called Saurosphargis

But the way he says it, I can't stop hearing "Soros Faggots"
And he says it over and over
"The Soros Faggots were found to be..."
"This is the oldest known member of the Soros Faggots taxon"
