How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

[Coffee Druid]

Get your shit organised and make sure that it's actually viable for you to go, if you suspect there will be ructions at you leaving. If you leave and then have to come back because something didn't work out, you'll be getting "I told you so" and "remember the last bright idea you had?", etc. for ages thereafter. Better to leave later and definitively, than rush out the door and end up regretting it more than waiting a bit.

My older siblings are already out and living on their own (and have been since they were younger than I am now), so that shouldn't be a reason to object. I think my dad has seen me as the "baby" even though I'm an adult now and thinks I'm still incompetent and can't do things on my own (and I won't be living on my own, I'll be with a friend I've known for years). He'll likely act like I'm being selfish because I get treated like a servant at times and he thinks I should help clean up his hoarder nest for him. Fuck no.

My mom is way easier to discuss it with. She worries, but in a normal parent way. I won't be too far so I plan to visit or call as much as I can.

Sounds like you've at least given it a good amount of thought. Bon chance, hope it works out!

My mood for the last two months is basically this.

Doomer time.

I just want to see the clock back to 2016 bros. This shit is getting too real.

Had an appointment with an older client today who called me a beautiful man twice and said I had very expressive eyes. Kinda off putting coming from a new client, hell from anyone you're working with, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't make my day.

 

[BOONES]

Rethought my purpose as a user on this site. I think it was something that was a long time coming.

 

[Sped Xing]

My wife left me. To go on holiday with her parents for a week, but still.

So I haven't left the house all day, and am on hour 16 of Fallout New Vegas. This is pretty much how I'd live in general if not for her. My God, single life is depressing.

I was feeling really good about my runs lately especially after a 10-mile distance two weeks ago that went SUPER well, I was pumped up enough that I started planning a longer run up into the hills and some long distance longboarding days. I got a Camelbak from a family member and replaced my gross old water bottles with some new ones, so I was pretty ready to go charging off into the hills.

And then I hurt my achilles tendon skateboarding.
It's not a major tear or anything, I actually hurt it 8 years ago and had a long recovery, this is the exact same pain in the exact same tendon. The injury is on the leg I push with while skating so that sucks. And because I'm a dumbass I've just kept running but Thursday's distance went terrible. Today's run felt a lot better so hopefully it will stop bothering me soon. I've been doing some stretches and wearing a brace everyday. Reading the Jack Scalfani thread and hearing about him needing both of his tendons replaced has me scared about that kind of injury now.

Trying to figure out the advancement of a book i'm working & playing modded Oblivion like hell in my last vacation week before institute classes.
I'm happy.

 

[TheRatcatcher]

I went to the groceries with my mom, rode my bike with my sister, and I realized I'm kind of a shitty writer.

 

[The Sauce Boss]

Checked in to a Hyatt Place today and rented out a room for a week. There's a bunch of bars and restaurants by me, all open for business.

Catch me partying like a motherfucker. Today I had two Presidentes, a full meal at Chilis, half a pack of Shiners and a 2-2-2 at I-Hop and I'm starting on a bottle of Taaka i'll be nursing in the morning.

 

[Curt Sibling]

Looking forward to a visit by my bro and the family dog.

The world can go to crap, and all the insane, depressed people with it, a small dogger don't care.

 

[Coelacanth]

It's scorching hot in Britbong land at the moment which always ruins my energy levels but apparently life decided it would be very fun to give me neighbours who have five kids that just love to scream and shout. Loud noises hurt my ears in general so as you can imagine living next to five kids who act like Peppa Pig and her bro every day makes it very difficult for me to even go outside and deal with shit in my garden.

 

[Crankenstein]

I'm looking at gym equipment since wearing a mask to work out is intolerable. It's surprisingly affordable.

Not much help if you don't have space for it, though. :/

Get a bench that can incline and decline, also some standalone racks. They double up for squats and bench. Some adjustable dumbbells isn't a bad idea either.

 

[Michael_Jordan_Peterson]

I still miss her. I'd give anything just to talk to her for a bit.

 

[PumpkinSpiceBitchMeringue]

Don't take your meds without ingesting food first, kids. You'll regret it! Haha
holy fucking shit

 

[General Disarray]

Good morning all! It's overcast and oppressively humid in my neck of the ghetto. Body hurting a bit, getting old sucks. Got an alert for a job I applied to - they saw my resume but there are over 500 other applicants Making lemon-blueberry muffins a little later today and for breakfast, I'm thinking of making sausage gravy. Beef and bean enchiladas are on the menu for dinner tonight. Have to get off my ass to make the pilgrimage to The Corner Store for smokes soon. Trying to cut down. I hope my fellow Kiwis are having a good day. Stay healthy and hydrated frens!

 

[sleazetown]

I made her cry last night. I hate myself because to hurt the person who relies on you for emotional support and looks up to you is such a shitty thing.

 

[Overcast]

Still working, but fuck it's getting harder and harder to want to it seems. Starting to notice how many people at the store I work at have their noses exposed when wearing a mask and how many of them don't wash their hands properly. Part of my job involves maintaining the restrooms, so I see A LOT of people actively not following the 20 second rule that's been pushed super hard on us lately.

This also includes co-workers. Guy in fucking curbside has his nose exposed while getting food and bringing it to customers. Fuck, even most of my supervisors aren't washing their hands properly. We're also going through a hairnet shortage.

My old man and I talked about the whole vaccine thing, but he's not even sure it would work and brings up the idea that this whole pandemic thing could last years.

Not sure how right he is, but I like to think he's a pretty smart guy, so the idea that this whole thing will never end and things will never go back to the way they used to be has seeped into my mind. Like fuck, I've spent my entire life getting to where I am now, and it feels like the world is actively trying to take that away from me. From everyone who spent blood, sweat and tears to establish something for themselves.

"We're in this together."

We never were. There are people actively encouraging radical groups to burn entire cities and ruin people's lives. Most of the people who live here don't care enough to practice basic hygiene, not even the essential workers we all put our trust into.

I really really want things to be better. I really want to be positive about this. I'm at least glad I can still work and I have a place of my own. But part of me is scared that somehow those will get taken away too.

TLDR: Fuck this stupid virus, fuck China, and fuck people in general.

 

[The Sauce Boss]

Currently sitting in a wife beater, flannel and faded work jeans / boots in a michelin rated italian joint. I am underdressed as fuck and the entire staff is visibly confused, and I'm LOVING IT

Update to previous: my new laptop came in today! Straight upgrade to my old one, had to say goodbye to my old partner. She saw me through my first day of college and the streets of Portland, OR in the pouring rain. If you ever want a gaming laptop for some reason, ROG's are reliable as fuck.

 

[Carnavoyeur]

Major empathy burnout. My boyfriend's emotional issues are constant, my ex messaged me out of the blue a week or so ago to ask how I felt about being in his will because he wants to kill himself, and one of my younger cousins attempted suicide twice last week and my mother wants me to go with her to visit regularly now. I am terrible at comforting/consoling people in general but god damn this is getting to be so much that I'm finding it increasingly hard to keep giving a fuck and I don't know what to do anymore. It doesn't help that I am not in the best state of mind myself, and I'm bouncing between guilt over feeling shitty for "lesser" problems and resentment over having no one who cares about my feelings because they're either too concerned with others or themselves. I want to turn my phone off and leave town for a week or two. Or forever, I dunno.
