I can start. I spent a few days with friends. We didn’t do anything that special but it’s good to catch up and soak up some positivity from them.

    I’m a happily divorced dad. Had a lovely evening with my teenage daughter yesterday. We played cards, chess and some other cards game while drinking tea and chatting a lot. She won each game fair and square. After that great time I told her how much I value these moments, and she answered in the same way.

    I ate a slice of $2.50 birthday cake. My life is really terrible right now.

    Edit: birthday cake is cake with sprinkles baked into it. It’s not my birthday.

    My application for my SRS (sex reassignment surgery) was approved by my health insurance.

    My kid and I saw a helicopter air lifting stuff on a cable, from pretty close.

    Caught it on video and he’s crazy about it. We’ve watched it like a hundred times.

      Yeah, I understand how cool this is.

      Last year we saw a chopper picking up a cable load in Doon Doon. 30m from us.

      I was in the roadhouse dunny at the time, and said ‘WTF is that?’.

      Got a cool video too.

      Maybe get a still from your video and make him a shirt from it, so he can explain to everybody how awesome it was. 😃

          Or even as a print like it is, either way that is an expressive shot.

          I would love to hear about heli story if a kid came up to me in that shirt!

    Well. I got sick on Saturday. Stomach bug.

    The best thing that’s happened to me this week is I was able to eat a few saltines last night.

        Yeah, the week is looking better. Had a couple scrambled eggs this morning for breakfast and a baked potato for lunch.

        If it all goes well, I can be back to eating the unhealthy crap I usually eat tomorrow 😁

    I finally got paid for a big job I did and now my new computer that I’ve been looking at for the past year is on its way to me. And, I have enough to get some Asian food for dinner which I like.

    Today is the 12th anniversary of the day I was physically disabled by a fuckwit driver while I was riding a bicycle to work. It is the first year in several where I do not feel existential or super depressed. I have plenty of reason to be, but all of it is deflected at the moment.

    Had a relatively quick morning with my toddler on Monday, so decided I could afford to be 10 minutes late getting into work and had a special breakfast with her at a new little bakery/deli/breakfast-and-lunch spot that opened up nearby.

    No idea if she’ll remember it, but I know I cherish little moments like that from my childhood so I do what I can to make them for her.

    One of the things I didn’t really expect with having a kid is that even without going out of my way to make special memories there are small wonderful moments almost every day.

    My older kid just texted about applying to an internship …… it’s an environmental justice role using his technical skills for an indigenous tribe! WOKE AS HELL, even in this age of dystopia!

    Quality time with friends is always refreshing ☺️

    Getting to spend time with some of mine and going out to a concert were was the high point of my week.
