Tell us it all. We want details, especially regarding the best parts. Paint the story so we can live it. Let’s overwhelm brains with happiness and gratitude 🫠
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 mom is finally cancer free! Also, my best friend of 20 years might move to the city I live in :)
I’m so happy for everyone involved! 🥳
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.
That’s such great news! I can’t imagine how much better you guys feel with such a drastic improvement in mobility.
I’m getting married to the most wonderful person I know on Monday. Today we got the marriage license!
Congrats to you both! But especially to them since you must be a wonderful partner expressing such happiness for the marriage and admiration for them 😋
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’m jealous! That sounds lovely. There’s a train in my state I’ve been meaning to ride. Maybe I’ll do so soon. Enjoy your trip!
That sounds awesome. I hope you have a good time.
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.
Congrats! Sounds like you have some determination and a stable financial situation.
Thanks but I am genuinely just stumbling through life and somehow it works out instead of me being homeless. Idk how shit works out but I feel like I don’t deserve it.
You do deserve it. Everybody deserves a stable living condition :)
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.
My parents’ house was finally paid off. I can now start saving again.
Congaratulamations!! That sounds like such a relief
