    The company that lost my $3500 computer a month ago finally sent off a free replacement and it’ll be here next week! Normally, they replace it with a refurbished one but since they don’t have any, I’m getting a new one.

    A “good” thing from a bad thing: my 6 year old computer monitor decided to croak today. As it’s currently black friday deals, I managed to order a new one fairly cheap-o.

        If you can do stuff, literally just on the Thumbtack app lmfao landlords get on there when they need repairs done, so I do them and they pay whatever I want. I fleeced landlords to the tune of like $2000 last week, only worked 3 days.

        Then when I get honest hardworking customers, I cut them a break. The landlords subsidize the regular people.

            Rent has actually been going down in my area for the last few years, and they pay me enough that I can do stuff for like the elderly or the impoverished for drastically reduced rates. So I’m good with it.

            Leave it to lemmings to make even Robin Hood-ing landlords into something bad 😂

    I am traveling through Greece with my girlfriend. After a nice (and exhausting) hiking route we are back in the hotel – one of the best rooms I have ever been to. She is having a shower and I am chilling over the bed. At this very moment everything feels great.

    I’m sort of dating someone.

    2ish weeks ago my parents met another couple at a cocktail party and found out they had a single daughter about my age. In an extremely unsubtle attempt to set us up our families did an escape room together. Honestly, sex and dating have never been important to me. My longest relationship was a couple months long in high school, I went on maybe 3 or 4 dates in college. I went to this escape room thinking I’d make pleasantries for an hour, solve some puzzles and go home. But when I met her she was cute, and smart, and funny, and after we escaped she asked if I wanted to go with her to something else she was doing that day. We ended up spending the whole day together. And again the next weekend. I haven’t “officially” asked her out, or kissed her, or really acknowledged anything about what this is. But I have had so much fun with this badass trapeze-flying, skydiving, engineering, competitive dancing, just-so-cool woman that I can’t stop thinking about when I’ll see her next.

    The other day I made butter chicken and it was one of the best butter chickens I’d had, at least as good as restaurant quality. Can’t wait to make it again and it was my 2nd try ever so I think I nailed it pretty quick. Wicked proud of that.

      Nah, it’s a low bar to clear. Was something good today? Could be small, tiny, infinitesimal, anything really. If things are bad today, but they were horrible before, that counts too.

    I got stoned in VRChat for the first time, not too long after getting my first VR headset. As a furry who’s very interested in screwing with my sense of self, this was a really big deal to me in a way I can’t easily explain.

    We switched my son’s Pre-K for a number of reasons. Mostly because they didn’t have room for him in the older class (where he belongs), but also because it was kinda trashy, kinda franchisee, and every day we dropped him off he was crying and clinging harder and harder. The new school is just some lady running something out of her house.

    A friend asked him what he’s thankful for last night and he said, “My new school” 😭😭

    I left a company after getting laid off and surprisingly found a job before the 60-day warn notice expired.

    Second day, the new company announced layoffs. Luckily, I wasn’t part of it, but that has been a wild ride.
