Love my kids, love my wife. Feel useful at work. Getting rdy for the final stretch of my undergrad. Life is a grind atm and I don't have a lot of free time, but I wouldn't swap it for anything else.

I'm in the same boat, I feel like I've never been busier or more stressed at times, but it all feels so worth it for all the good things going on simultaneously
My cats
Love my kitter cat, for being a free street cat, she has brought me immeasurable joy over the years
My dirt bike
Hell ya ๐
just got the engine done (for a tiny bit of power) on my street bike.
a whole lot of fun with a dash of killmyself danger. pretty fun.
Playing X4, despite the crashes.
But to be really honest, giving drawing lessons to 9-11yo kids. Something I never considered doing in my life, but damn does it make me feel good, though the kids' progress (or lack thereof) often leaves me wondering if I'm actually being any good
whaat x4 looks like modern tachyon: the fringe.
how did i never hear about this game before
X4 is a very complex game. You start as a relative nobody in space, but can earn money to create big mining and trading fleets to get more money while you're busy with other stuff, finally using said money to buy military fleets.
It's full of eurojank, it's a huge time sink (I'm a bit over 100h now), but it may be the kind of thing that tickles your neurons just right.

Its summer here and I hate summers!! But I feel so greateful and happy that I am in a safe and comfortable enough environment to be able to be naked whenever it is too hot.
This is such a privilege considering I am a girl.

My family. I feel really good that I can trust and rely on my parents, that I can talk to my brother, that I have my grandma close and still healthy. It's a privilege to be related to these people, to be honest.
Can't choose who you're related to, so ya, it is a great privilege when you're surrounded by good people and you have that network of folks you love and can rely on
I don't wanna reveal too much personal info but things have been going so well for me for a while now! So I'd say this current one ๐ I'd say the past two years have been the happiest ones of my entire life
As long as you're happy, I'm hyped for you, keep that happiness streak going!

Most days my husband. Some days my kids. Some moments my job. Every night i love how comfortable my bed is.
Love this, I am like 3/4 of the way there, I just need a bed like yours to crash out on ๐ mine is killing me!
We ordered it from Costco. They have a great return policy and will pick up things they delivered if you want to return them. Plan was to buy a mid price memory foam mattress and then, if needed, keep exchanging it for the next one up until we hit our budget limit. The first one was perfect! It's been 9 years. I don't know how long beds are supposed to last. We rotate it periodically and it's still crazy comfortable.
love my dog
Good dog!!
Today's a dear friend's birthday, and I've got a really cool present for them!
Honestly, prefer to give a good gift than to get one, there's something so nice about sharing something with someone else

Started a new job that I landed after nearly a year of being unemployed. 100's of applications and maybe 10 interviews for my effort. I finally get a break from that fucking slog.
That's amazing, congratulations! I despise looking for jobs
Thank you so much!
