I can start. I spent a few days with friends. We didn’t do anything that special but it’s good to catch up and soak up some positivity from them.

    Nothing crazy, but my dog fractured a tooth and I was very worried he would either have to have it pulled or have a big ugly titanium crown put on, at great expense. He went to the vet today for it and it turns out the fracture wasn’t as bad as I thought. No root canal and crown necessary. They shaved down the sharp parts, sealed it with resin and he’s good to go now! I’m unbelievably relieved and it cost less than expected. Easily the best thing that’s happened this week.

    And tomorrow I’m going camping with my dog and some friends too! That should be a fun time. It’s unseasonably warm and while I wish it were cold, I’m going to enjoy the nice weather while we have it!

    I went to Costco and got 7 shirts and paid only $38ish total.

    Plus $3.05 for a giant slice of pepperoni and a pop.

    Downside: I didn’t get the pants I was hoping to find. But oh well.

    My older kid just texted about applying to an internship …… it’s an environmental justice role using his technical skills for an indigestible! WOKE AS HELL, even in this age of dystopia!

    I picked out summer bulbs with my daughters. And we are looking forward to seeing them grow.

    I’m a happily divorced dad. Had a lovely evening with my teenage daughter yesterday. We played cards, chess and some other cards game while drinking tea and chatting a lot. She won each game fair and square. After that great time I told her how much I value these moments, and she answered in the same way.

    My wife and I had been trying for a child. Then she left me 2 weeks ago.
    The best thing that happened to me this week was finding out she’s not pregnant.
    Also, instead of depair or grief over the separation, literally all I feel is relief.

        It hit me like a semi truck, cause shit went sideways out of nowhere within 2 weeks.
        But she’s moved out without a fuss, our finances are separate, and I kept the cats.
        Still kind of numb, but I also massively enjoy the quiet and relaxation right now.
        The marriage was exciting, but it was also a constant whirlwind.

          Thats wild, from married to moved out that fast. I’m sorry things turned out that way. I went through a shockingly similar experience last year, so I know how difficult that can be. Grief comes in waves and out of nowhere sometimes. Silver linings like kitties and quiet nights are the little things that can help a lot, I found.

            Thanks for your kind words.
            Yeah, I’m sure the grief will still come.
            And it’ll be hard to achieve my dream of becoming a father now, as a 41 year old single…

              Im happy to try and share some positivity. It costs nothing to be kind after all. It might seem daunting or difficult now, but the only way it’ll never happen is if you stop trying, you know?

    My girlfriend has started her second chemo meditation this week and the side effects are so much more manageable than the first’s. We could even go for a hike on day two, which is way more than I had hoped for.
