If you have some spare positive energy, could you send it the way of my dog friend? She's suddenly got about 100,000 fewer plalettes than she's supposed to, and she needs to rest and grow a bunch more.

@ej Really though, I live in the foothills of some mountains and there's a great deal of wilderness adventure to be had. Now I'm certified to help if I come across someone having trouble in the woods and hopefully keep them okay until they can get back to civilization.

The cat's favorite person is out of town and she is alternating between walking the house meowing plaintively for them and laying on me for comfort.

@ej I believe in trying to live a well written life, but it honestly did not occur to me how weird and dystopian this might sound to other people until you said something!

A happy ending: when she finally found me, the waitress let my order cut in line in the kitchen, and I got everything I needed right away. And then made sure to give her an obscenely large tip since my lone dinner was kinda cheap.

@Mainebot Thanks for the pep talk <3

Also attempting to eat at a restaurant alone, but the waitress is super ignoring me

Currently cramming for a wilderness first aid class.

Actually I need to find a career.

I need to find a new career.

Something has connected to my wifi speaker and is playing The Killing Moon by Echo and the Bunnymen. I'm simultaneously confused and happy?

I got dragged by the river, and almost came home with a new dog. I also saw a cute raccoon and my favorite heron.

Tomorrow is my first paddle trip of the summer!

@viciousviscosity Ah, but if you do see them again tonight you have ENSURED they are having a good evening!

Sometimes the sad things you read about in the news mirror sad things in your own life and it's much harder to compartmentalize the resulting stress. The upshot is that you are more empowered to do something about it I guess?

@sato1108ss Hopefully it does not hurt!

So normally, "I found something dead on my doorstep this morning." would be bad news, but I think some nocturnal huntress chose to bless us with food and I'm really just trying to understand what I did to deserve the honor.

Sometimes self care is mailing yourself little books of poetry and then forgetting about them.

@ej Ah, the UK section of the grocery store! Presumably popular teas and biscuits, marmite, various canned puddings with names that sound suspiciously made-up... The real treasure there is your candy bars! We have terrible chocolate.

@ej That would be amazing!
