Hey PP! I am glad the sad brains have relented a bit :unsmith: That short blue hair is amazing on you.

I'm bumping this thread back to the front page for kind of a selfish reason; I was browsing through my pictures folder and I had never realized how visible my own sad brains were in a lot of the selfies I've taken. My eyes in a lot of them really bummed me out. I didn't even realize when I took them I was so unhappy :( I am very powerful at emotional repression.

But this morning I had taken a selfie, and looking at today's picture and my old ones side by side I look a little tired but a lot happier. And "a little tired but a lot happier" is a pretty good way to be and I'm grateful for that. Today I will commemorate "the day I realized I am a lot happier than I used to be."



It's good that you're doing better, and that you realize it.

We finally have some decent winter with a bit of sun, so I got out of the house for once (WFH since march, woo) and actually rode a bike.

No reference picture but I've definitely also had a case of "unhappiness visible" that I didn't really notice until I saw how I looked while biking outdoors again.

Hope you're all doing well in these hosed up times!
I hope you're doing well too! I'm glad you got some outside time. Outside time in nice secluded places has helped me quite a bit.

Not to say you're not fine looking yourself!

Jules is the best, I caught him tearing open a bag of cheap bread I was using to extract a bearing and had left on the ground.

For a month I put out food for him and he'd run away or attack me if I got within 10'.

Then one day I put out his food and sat down 15' away, as was custom, and after he ate he ran up and was like "your shoulders and lap are my home now fucker" and he's been living on my deck ever since.

He only loves me, if my Mom or GF are over he'll stay in his house, but not come any closer.


If more than 1 person is over he runs away, then the second they're gone he comes back for food and shoulder time :kimchi:

He's the 3rd in a line of wonderful, adoptable and cuddly kitties that have moved into my crawlspace, and the first that'll be my cat and I'll have forever (other two are also in great homes)

This big boy showed up just after thanksgiving. Here it's stalking Little Dog. So far it only seems to want to sneak up and boop Little Dog on the butt and then bolt across the yard, but I keep an eye out when the dog is in the yard to make sure there's no escalations.

I put out a heated water bowl and daily kibble after getting hit full blast by the guilt rays it was shooting at me through the sliding glass doors. When it got colder out I got shelter and lined it with a bunch of straw.



I've been calling it Mr Kitty (but am unsure as to the sex right now). Now that there's a LOT more snow than in the picture, it pretty much stays in the shelter+straw I made for it, only coming out to drink out of the heated water bowl or eat the kibble I put out. When it warms up a bit, I'm going to get the TNR group out here so I can make sure it's fixed and gets a round of shots (and also scanned for a chip).

I am currently working late because people are bastards, and listening to metal, The Anime of Music, to get me through it. It will be TEN YEARS next month that I saw Turisas live, wearing pinstripe trousers, a white shirt, braces, a tie, and warpaint. Like a viking that works in accounts. This is me post gig and post sweat. Ten years. Good god.

LAB I'm glad you're feeling happier these days, I know finding happiness is a rough journey, I wish I could get out of my own sad brain a lot.

There's a lot of great cats on this page! Coincidentally I took this cat selfie around 2:30am while drinking my sad brain to sleep.



Unfortunately Sweetleaf got a mass growing on her throat that the vet confirmed to be cancer. Inoperable. We were given painkillers, and an appetite stimulant, we're trying to spoil her and give her lots of snacks and love until the tumor inhibits her eating or breathing.

First, this is a beautiful picture and you are beautiful (I mean this is the least creepy way possible, for the record).
Secondly, I can't say how glad I am to hear that you're happier than you used to be. Even if you think that is a small accomplishment in itself, I can assure you it is not and you deserve to recognize that in yourself.
Thirdly, and not to trot out my own bullshit, but I can 100% relate to not realising how unhappy you are, so in that vein I am all the happier that you realised it and that you are doing better now.
Be well and be safe, Birb lady :)

:glomp: Thank you for these kind words, they (and you!) are immensely thoughtful. It sounds as though you too are doing better than you once were, and I'm glad for that and hope you stay that way or, even better, continue to improve. All the best to you as well.

Also, cute bike. :3:

Thank you! :) it's a work in progress and I'm not there yet but putting in the effort does help a lot, and yeah, however wobbly I still get I'm doing heaps better than I was doing only a year ago.
All the best to you and your crew :)

Also AP, I'm so sorry about your catte. She looks like a wonderful girl so I'm going to second LAB's request and ask for extra cuddles to be given to her from me if that's okay.

Thanks for the kind words, friends. Unfortunately last week her health declined rapidly. After she failed to eat any food or do much of anything besides sleep Thursday, my roommate told me he was taking her in for a quality of life check and his veterinarian partner had warned him these checks frequently end in putting the animal down. Before he left for the check i lay on the floor next to her and gave her lots of scritches, I got her purring but she was sort of gasping for breath while she did. She did not come back home that day. That picture was the last I took of her, and the last time she felt herself enough to come seek attention and snuggles. It is a loss I'm still processing.

Oh honey I am so, so sorry. It's obvious you were a wonderful friend to her, and through your love and companionship you made her life a happy one. She loved you just as much and just as deeply as you love her. Wherever she is now, she still does.

rear end Penny, I'm so sorry for your loss. You did what you could and you gave her the best life she could have. It doesn't make the pain go away but in your own way, you did help make the world a small amount better.
Take some time for yourself and be well as much as you can.

Sorry friend. I had to bring in my dog to be put down half a year ago. He was having seizures and the beginnings of bone cancer. It's not easy, and I feel for you.
