Finally got a job after almost 5 months of being without. Tens of thousands of financial damage to repair, but I can finally get started. My whole retirement is wiped out at fifty. Probably some ugly tax implications. But we'll make it.
24Congrats on the new job!
10Congratulations!!! I had to pull out a bunch of my 401k a few years ago as well. Now I have $50k at 50 myself. I feel ya. ❤️
2Congrats!

Got Covid, also trying clean THC out of my system cold turkey, learn i have a dairy allergy (not lactose intolerance), kind of depressed, considering starting AA, having an internal philosophical conflict with social media and the people on it. Pretty standard stuff. What about you?
13Damn, that's a lot!
Pretty okay on my side, business as usual!
6That's cool. Hope your week stays chill like that

Oh man. Hope you're feeling better. Lots of big questions.
2I'm an open book. Ask away

Sorry you're struggling with drug use. That's a tough challenge!
having an internal philosophical conflict with social media and the people on it.
I'm curious to read more details about this.
1Just questioning environments people expect on the internet. You can't talk about different peoples without other people losing their mind when really discussing the differences between people shouldn't be controversial or offensive topic. People believe their self righteousness is more righteous the next person's self righteousness. And then what's the problem with admitting being wrong?

Surprisingly well. My 30 day no smartphone experiment I posted about here last week is going far better than expected. Probably going to post a check-in update tomorrow.
9Almost a week! You must be doing well. :)
2Are you gonna downgrade to a Nokia or one of the semi-trendy, intentional dumbphones?

Physical therapy was a mixed bag. Monday was good, Wednesday was a mess because the therapist and receptionist were out so both had subs. A mess. Husband is not doing well physically which is hopefully nothing. Currently I have chicken noodle soup in the slow cooker too help him feel better. My cat is still sulking over mothers cat going home and the cat refused to say hi to her so, sulk. It's suddenly cold here which feels wrong.
7Good n u

just got back from vacation, now I feel like it's time to get my shit together. got back to the gym, cleaned some stuff. hopefully this lasts lol. but yeah going good so far
4Got a small raise at my job. It's been a while since the last one (always been given stock units instead for the past few years). It's not huge, but it's enough to significantly cover one of our monthly expenses (bills, mortgage principal, or groceries). Also got a one-time bonus so that was nice.
4Fantastic!

Like shit honestly. Taking care of an old dog that has diarrhea attacks plus shitting on the public spaces of the building, going back and forth to the apartment with stuff to clean the floor.... You tell me.
4Pretty good. On holidays in Berlin ATM.
3Started talking with a woman a few days ago and it seems to be going real well! She's actually sending genuine responses which feels pretty good. All the responsibility to keep the conversation flowing is on me but I'll take a win where I can get it
My work also looks like it'll finally be picking up after two years which is gonnabe a huge relief to have OT and just general work to do again. So, so far, my week has been pretty good!
3After nine days wait I finally got my Magna back. The first starter motor didn't fit apparently.
3Got a very bad medical prognosis for an immediate family member, and just tested positive for covid for the first time. Not a great week.
1Finished holidays and went back to study for september's exams session. I've made up my mind to use Lemmy more and not just as a substitute for the daily dose of doom-scrolling.
