fox Posted July 26, 2019 Author Posted July 26, 2019 I don't know where to write this. It makes me sad - I actually surprised myself with a pretty great session of tears, I thought I was done there - but I can't be sad for the experience of him. Today (for me) is ogre's anniversary of passing and I miss him. He will always be a love of my life. He will always be at the front of the line. And I will always regret not hugging him. (Look at him. He is so, so beautiful.) So I'm really, really sad. But I got to know him. I got to chat with him. He was one of my people. He was genuine and kind and fierce, and I am really, really happy that I knew him. I miss you, honey. Always, and so very much. 2 Quote
fox Posted July 28, 2019 Author Posted July 28, 2019 LIstened to a podcast (On Being, with Esther Perel as guest) and then had to write because of it. I fucking love that shit. I love the need to write. It's happening a lot lately and there's an energy there that's fucking electric. 1 Quote
fox Posted August 7, 2019 Author Posted August 7, 2019 The gym. I could not mentally function, then I gymmed, then my mood was only cynical, not completed closed and douchey. Hah. Fuck. 1 Quote
fox Posted March 16, 2020 Author Posted March 16, 2020 I came here to say @hirondelle. Because yes. I love you. But I scrolled to see this thread for a minute, and saw ogre and I got teary, but also happy. I love him, also. So fucking much. Goddammit honey, I miss you. And I love you. So much. (I still talk to him. Often. Just yesterday on a dog walk, actually.) 1 Quote
Timberwolf Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Finding out that I can get Spotify on AppleTV 4. When we first got it, I searched for it in the apps, and it wouldn't come up. Today, something said search for it in the apps again, and there it was! So cool!! 1 Quote
Moonhawk Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Watching movies and netflix with the family. Playing mario party with the kids yesterday 2 Quote
fox Posted April 20, 2020 Author Posted April 20, 2020 Kids are back, sun's shining, it's actually warming up outside and my snow is almost gone, and I have an incredible human in my life who makes me smile. All in, life is pretty okay right now. (Great, if not for this whole COVID mess. So. Balanced, at present. Which is really important. It felt really imbalanced there for a bit. At least there's some (literal) sunshine now.) 2 1 Quote
Dulcet Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 I’m currently taking a class that I’ve always wanted to learn for only $11.99. Udemy finally got me and I couldn’t be happier. I also went shopping today because I had extra Link money put on my card. No stimulus check yet but I’m surviving. And fuck. That’s a good thing. The class I’m taking on Udemy is on pandas in python using Anaconda. I haven’t learned anything fancy yet but my goal is to create a portfolio of some sort on the blog here to show employers. Basically I’ll be manipulating datasets and turning them into visuals if possible. I’m really excited. 2 Quote
Dulcet Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 I’m on a government assistance program called SNAP which issues monthly food stamps on a card that’s still called Illinois Link. I don’t know what other states call it but food stamps can only be used for food and you don’t pay tax. I usually get $60 a month put on there but this month (in light of COVID-19) they put an extra $110 on the card for me to use for the month. Quote
hirondelle Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Ah ok awesome - thanks for the info @Dulcet. I always thought food stamps were literally stamps, we did't have them in the UK when I was a kid. The govt just supplemented income and didn't control where you spent it. You could use it for beer money if you want. Quote
fox Posted May 18, 2020 Author Posted May 18, 2020 Reconnected with an old acquaintance this weekend. Had a great chat. It inspired a new piece of blather-y writing (more a letter than anything else). Felt good. (Also did a lot of me things this weekend. I feel stress that it's coming to an end and I will be back in stretched-too-thin land soon, but I am going to try to live here, in the moment, and not there, in that fear. The fear that may not be real. But this weekend was very need meeting. I am thankful for it and know now what I need to establish with my solo time. I know what is important to me.) 1 Quote
fox Posted July 25, 2020 Author Posted July 25, 2020 Happy I knew him. So thankful he is a part of me and my life. Thankful to be able to miss him. To love him. My life is so much richer for having him in it. 1 Quote
hirondelle Posted August 22, 2020 Posted August 22, 2020 @Timberwolf and I got up early (5.30) had coffee and went for a walk around the park together 1 Quote

Kenai Posted July 9, 2021 Posted July 9, 2021 I have a date tomorrow! It's my third date with a lovely gal named Andrea. I am a bit excited. 1 Quote
fox Posted July 24, 2021 Author Posted July 24, 2021 Maybe "happy" isn't the right word, I'm a bit more numb than I'd like these days, but I feel a bit less weighed down after writing (a blog post about bullshit diet culture) and actually, soulfully communicating (hate. Being vulnerable is hard and itchy and I don't like it), and also raging (about The Patriarchy). Today is weird. Ima go for a walk. 1 2 Quote
