How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Everyday, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it, don’t wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the Men’s store. A catnap in your office chair. Or a piece of cherry pie with a scoop of ice cream and a cup of good, hot black coffee. Like this.

And don't forget to put this while you're doing it.

Take care, people, and have a good 4th of July.
 
My hearing shit itself tonight so sounds are muffled plus I'm tired as all hell with insomnia. But I start a new tech job in a couple weeks on the bright side! So I'm managing. That's about as well as anyone can describe my life right now.

Been following the Byuu disaster since the DDoS attacks and I'm getting very intense secondhand embarrassment from the Twitter posts (am LGBT myself).
 
Today's my birthday! I'm gonna go to a barbecue later today too, so I'm feeling pretty alright.

I also found out at the last minute on Friday that I have Monday off, so that gives me an extra day to go gift shopping for my granny, since her birthday is ten days after mine and I don't know if I'll be able to celebrate in person with work and all. Might as well cover my bases.
 
Bout to go full Caddyshack on a gopher thats fucking up my 4th. I worked for 4 years to make my lawn from a goddamned jungle weed patch into a putting green, and I'm not gonna let some little rodent fuck it up. I saw the holes in my neighbors yard and warned him he had a gopher, but now that it has invaded my lawn, its fucking go time. I got a hose, gopher gas, , a few quarter-sticks of dynamite my buddy got me when he went out of state for the good fireworks, and a crossbow. I'm going to war for the 4th, and I feel damn good about it.
 
Today at Mass, we opened by singing "My Country 'tis of Thee", and ended with "America the Beautiful". And my parish is big.

Don't let Clown World get you down too much, Kiwis. There are still tons of good, decent people in this country who have not surrendered to wokeist insanity.
 
In short: My life would be okay, if this great reset/automation/memeflu nonsense didn't make me suicidally depressed. I don't know what to do. I mean if I had a gun sure, I would just fix it, would have done a decade ago. Happy end. Sadly this is the bad end that I can't just press Alt+F4 on this. I don't want to feel so much existential dread that I can't enjoy anything. I wish I could un-know this. I wanted to do things and learn to do art, but what is the point if there is no hope for anything at all.

I was the real lolcow all along!
 
Feeling kind of dead inside. Yesterday I had a bunch of small things snowball into feeling upset and shitty. It's the day after, but I'm still just burned out.

Also shaking my head a little bit. We're spending the weekend with my boyfriend's mom. I have a lot of things to say about her (and bf agrees). But she got steak for the 4th. Not just any steak, 4.5 pounds of wagyu beef. That's neat and all, but she's pretty bad with money (and on a fixed income) so it's more like "not again". That shit's expensive. This woman also bought $60 of sliced roast beef for herself, and let most of it go to waste because she barely ate it. She's not a good cook either, so I pulled my bf aside (he's the grill guy) and politely told him he needs to take care of it and treat it very nicely.
 
Society makes me want to kill myself, the fact that shit like twitter and tiktok exist gave me AIDS, and Biden isn't my president. So the run of the mill

Implying papists can be American
 
I have a cat who is terrified by all of the fireworks going off in the last couple of nights, and I wish I knew how to comfort him. I am a new pet owner, so this is all very unfamiliar territory for me. I know tonight is going to be hell for him, so any advice would be welcomed.
 
I'm fine, I'd be better if I didn't have this nagging feeling that all the worlds (real) leaders were conspiring to murder us all.

Other than that, yeah fine...chugging on.

Taking a few days off from work to revaluate things and spend more time with my folks.

Living on your own's nice, but you really come to appreciate your family a lot after spending a lot of time away from them. Just spent 4th of July just eating hot dogs and watching Yellowstone with them. Couldn't get into it myself, but my folks seemed to like it a lot.
