Real life happy
-
When the flip side of executive dysfunction kicks in and suddenly every task feels trivial and you just hammer through a week’s worth of roadblocks in under an hour while bopping around in your office chair to hype-up music and taking periodic dance breaks.
-
@Solstice Hey um did you get enough executive hyper-function for the whole class?

Holy shitballs, i have to say about almost a week in that the cgm is amazing and is already helping me a lot in trying to figure out how I can stay on top of things. I don’t want to get into too big of a detail because most people don’t want to hear it, but if you’re considering one either for medical reasons or I can certainly see why there’s going to be an otc one soon for people who want to use it for health reasons, I’m happy to talk about it with folks via PM or whatever. I’m really glad that my doctor was cooperative and that it’s frankly even more helpful than I thought it would be.

trying to learn a new trade
while training mypotatodogall at once.
edit: oops.

@ten Don’t worry, training a dog to hunt potatoes is super easy. You’ll barely waste a calorie on it.

For at least today, for one moment in time, there is justice in the world. This makes me happy.

I started doing Historical European Martial Arts two weeks ago (finally), with a local group that just formed. I’ve been doing it most days since then, and I ache, but it’s a really good ache. I have more energy than I have in years, and I feel great. Plus I get to swing a sword around.

Tornado hit my house Tuesday. Six trees down, one on my house, and the power pole snapped in two and the live wires killed two massive trees worth of birds and squirrels. No one was injured, the one child home was fine, my mechanic was at the house and acted: great man.
I had the greatest day Tuesday. I happened to get the news of the third tornado to damage my life in three years during the first break of the trial in NYC. They led me to a side room to check my phone. I have insurance and won’t have a home a couple of months again. The real life happy is that I spent the day inside the courtroom for closing arguments of one of the most significant trials in American history.

I gave my child chocolate milk and showed her the joys of blowing bubbles in the milk.
Why did our parents tell us not to blow bubbles? It is awesome!
-
@junipersky It ends in spilled milk.
-
@Snackness But there’s no use crying over it.
-
@Pyrephox I confess that I did cry over spilled milk (well, froyo, in the back of my car) a couple of weeks ago and I stand by my decision.
-
Anyone who doesn’t cry over spilled milk hasn’t spent 45 minutes pumping it.

My coworker’s partner is liquidating a lot of their inventory from their Etsy shop. So today they showed up with a bag full of block printed t-shirts for me and tried to foist them off on me for free, until I insisted on paying something for it.
(Pay artists. It’s a rule, not a guideline.)
My clothes are extra queer now and I am very happy.

This is the content I needed today. Maybe someone else will enjoy it too.
DO NOT CLICK if you don’t like fake spiders (there are no real spiders)

Semester 1 finished, great grades all round. At age 38, on my 4th attempt in 2 decades, I’ve finally successfully completed my first semester of a bachelor’s degree.
That’s definitely a big happy.
Although, I was hoping that big success on the first semester would make me feel more confident about, you know, the rest of the three years I’ll be doing this for. Apparently not!
Still, it’s a start and it’s proof that I absolutely can do this. My brain no longer gets to point at my past failures as if they’re evidence that I’ll fail again
-
Learned what unremitting means today. +1 to vocabulary.

I am so happy that there was a net positive gain from my suffering and I’m not even being sarcastic
