I was watching inside out 2 the other day. They got the scene where anxiety disables everything. It’s going so fast but getting nowhere.

it was hot and humid overnight, the apartment was horrible… it’s raining now, but alas, the strong wind keeps me from opening the window in the bedroom for a fresh breeze, there’s too much rain coming in. but at least it is raining, I love the sound of the rain.

I’m laying in bed writing this and my voidfloof came to lay with me - I guess he isn’t bothered by my body heat lol

I hope it’s passed, and you are feeling better now. Elbow have a new album out, it’s pretty good. It finally started raining here, our dry season was too dry and it’s so good to have the rains most days now.

It’s 26°C (79°F) here in Toronto.

Hi! I saw your post about moderating and I think it’s cool that you decided to carry that community for everyone. Thanks for doing that!

I’ve been taking care of my ancient wizened pet rabbit. She’s like 90 in bunny years (considering large breeds like flemish giants don’t live as long) but here’s an old and young picture of her huge dumbo ears.

I go to a restaurant store for her because they sell giant bags of cilantro and she mows through it among other things.

I’ve also been running a tabletop rpg system I wrote and built a setting for, and it’s going pretty well! It’s kind of a science fantasy thing and players are all humans, but they can be terran or from a colony world we build out together. That entails negotiating what adaptations the colonists originally gave their children to thrive on that world and so we ended up with a huge strongman character from a hot high gravity world for example. He has heat venting scales that look like a bush viper all over him and he’s the only one enjoying the desert they’re currently traversing while I throw creatures at them like a tamer version of Scavenger’s Reign.

Sorry to hear your feeling that way. I hope it’s not do something crazy level depression. I had a bout of that yesterday. I packed my bags told my family I was going to the laundry mat, actually did that, then drove 150 miles across my state to get a bottle of water and a Slim Jim. I was dead set on driving across the country but it was raining hard for hours. I stopped and spent 2 hours crying in a rest stop. I decided to turn around. Didn’t get home until 3 something this morning.

I’m sorry to hear you’re having a rough time today Lady. Depression sucks 🤍

Hopefully this pic of my parents’ floof monster will put a smile on your face!

The cat continues to not understand going into the bath is dangerous when the human is also there. I stopped her this time but lord. You’d think she’d be more nervous after going in once. Weird cat.

I’m trying to find a method of meal prep that doesn’t do my head in. I only have energy sometimes so it’s frustrating. I have next week planned so we’ll see how it goes.

A few days ago I was sitting in a public park. There were no other people close to me in the park. The sun was shining in a mostly cloudless sky and some of the taller trees were casting shadows on the grass. A gust of wind would blow through and the sounds of all the leaves from the trees made that pleasant rushing sound before ebbing away with the retreat of the wind. The smell of Earth was strong, like freshly turned soil. There were birds and insects, unseen, but loudly calling to each other oblivious to me in the park with them. I heard a commotion from the underbrush not far away, and see three squirrels chattering and giving chase to one another. It was very pleasant!

I wish I could have packaged this moment in the park in a bottle and give it to you to experience right now. A bottle of peace and contentment, as long as you don’t mind the chatty squirrels.

My life is garbage and I’m struggling to keep a roof over my head. Want to trade stories?

Reading words of sympathy from people I don’t know has never made me feel good. Listing grievances against reality to randos on the internet is a lot more amusing in my opinion.

Coming to this fairly late, so I hope that means things have eased up for you.

But, fwiw, I’m happy when I see a post you’ve made, even one like this.

I exercised for the first time in like 4 years today, 30 minutes on an elliptical machine, and I’m mad about it because i enjoyed it, and now I’m sore. I’m probably going to have a fantastic night of sleep because of it too.

grumbly curmudgeon noises

What do you want? And what do you need? I know motivation is a different thing but is there any one thing that can help you stabilise?

Go out and find someone else to help. Walk a neighbor’s dog

Sitting online isn’t going to help as much as getting out of the house will.
