    I’m seeing a chindhood friend tomorow that I have’t seen for 1.5 years. As kids we were best friends, but when we got older we kinda just stopped seeing each other that often. So realy looking forward to that!

      Omg very similar here! My best friend, who lives oversees now, is coming to visit for 3 weeks. It’s been about 2 years since I’ve seen him. If I didn’t know him, I wouldn’t think it possible for another human to understand me on such a fundamental and intuitive level as he does. I’m stoked!

    My dad is able to get out of his wheelchair and instead use a walker, which I didn’t think he’d be able to do again in his lifetime.

    My mom is treating me to a train ride for my birthday. I’ll get to ride through autumn foliage and enjoy tea and such. It lasts about 2 hours and I’m excited. 🤗

    I recently got a job that seems like its going to work out well. I could be making way more money, 2-3x as much, but I decided pretty early that I’m not going to make missiles. This is way below my skill level and isn’t challenging in the slightest, but its a good change of pace. Was happily unemployed for a long time but its time I get back to routine and it feels great having money coming in instead of just out. I’m going to chill with it it for a good while and start applying to those niche jobs that I’m perfect for and pay a lot. Or I’m going to start a business with a buddy or two.

    I’ll be getting a puppy next month (from a good, reputable, and loving breeder). I lost my last puppy to an extremely rare type of cancer a few months ago and I really need this.

    I still miss you, baby dog. And so does our other dog. She’ll be so happy to have another friend.

    Today, just completed a task that required coordinating with a few different teams and was a known blocker for a very big project coming up fast. Got it done ahead of time.

    My boss positively called me out in front of their boss and other high ranking members of the org for it with a thank you.

    I’ve been at this team for< 2 months. from a team where the boss would take credit for everything and then ask you to explain it to him several times so he could just parrot it back to his boss even after “leading” the team for over a year.

    This felt like a joy.

    It’s a small win but after months of agonizing over my contract end date and a million rejected job applications, I got extended for another few months. Honestly just a huge weight off my shoulders as I desperately needed a break from the job search and was only a couple weeks away from the end date. Plus, it’s looking likely they’ll be able to make my position permanent by the end of this extension 🤞🏽

    I got the psychiatrist’s approval for genital nullification surgery. I have a surgery date next year. I’m going to be able to wear tight pants and bikinis.
