My friend, an immigrant to my country, was laid off two weeks ago and wasn’t able to land a new job. She was 4 months away from getting her PR, but without a new job, she wouldn’t qualify. After many stressful nights of crying, doing resume review and interview practice, she YOLO’d and sent the CEO of her old company an email asking to be employed until she got the PR, and the CEO simply said “Sure”.

Absolutely crazy, and rare to see that sort of compassion. I’m super happy for her, even though it might be awkward, but getting over this cusp will lock her in on her new life.

Watched a bunch of tits (the other tits) romping about the hazel bush, they were hilarious.

I found some money I squirrelled away for a big luxury purchase, so I’m buying a painting. It’s the first piece of art in years that’s stopped me in my tracks to stare. I have a print, but it’s not the same.

Was supposed to watch something with my best friend last night but we just ended up chatting for like 4h. Never fails to cheer me up

Happy?

It’s triple digit weather for the 9th week.

My friends 16 year old son just got diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.

My daughter is having a rough recovery from an apendectomy.

I’m having to work extended hours due to staff shortages.

Payment from my last job is a week overdue and I don’t know how I’ll eat or get to my new job.

My back is fucking killing me from being on my feet 12 to 14 hours a day.

What is happiness again?

Public holiday 3 day weekend

I got a picture of mine featured in a newsletter on Buzzly.

Got health insurance AND dental b so finally fixing some dental problems that I’ve had for years without worry of going broke.

Unironically the republican primary debate. My favorite part of any election season is when they drag a bunch of these clowns out of the woodwork and we get to watch them slaughter each other (verbally) over the course of six months like teenagers in an 80’s movie. Too bad the fascists are always the ones that win.

Not sure if it’s happiness per-se, but I’m excited about joining uni next week.

56 hours in brutal heat and humidity working in a steel mill with a weekend off

My new mattress is getting delivered tomorrow. I’ve been sleeping on a cheap crappy Ikea mattress for years, and I just couldn’t ignore how bad it is anymore. Hopefully with the new one I’ll finally be able to sleep longer than six hours without waking up feeling like I’ve been in a fight.

Nothing.

No not joking

I went on a vacation trip last week. We took the ferry fron Connecticut to Long Island, rode our bikes from Orient Point to the Hamptons, took the train to New York City, hung out in Brooklyn for 4 days. No car the whole way. It was awesome. Brooklyn is super cool, biking in NYC is the best way to enjoy the city. I am full of ideas for the next trip.

Polaris just dropped their upcoming LP’s third track, “Overflow”, and it slaps as intended.

Metalcore band from Australia, if you don’t know them, chek them out.
