But most things I'll just leave in the box from wherever I ordered and wrap it in that. Makes things easier. I hate when they ship stuff in jiffy bags for that reason.

I got Columbia hiking boots earlier this year and that's going to go down as one of my all-time best purchases. I can kick a rock in these things without hurting my toes, they have great traction, and they're a stylish teal-and-pink color. Hiking helped me get over my break-up. That, The Art of Forgetting, some great friends, and lots of therapy.

Just woke up from a weird dream, but I know weird dreams are common in early sobriety, and I had my first IOP session last night. Y'know what that whack-rear end dream means, y'all? It means I'm working it.

I thought I had a whack rear end dream last night, but then it turned out that it was just my kid coming in to wake me up at 2 AM. Luckily he went back to sleep easily.

I would love a Patagonia jacket for winter camping but I know the second I wear one camping a nice hot lil ember is gonna float out of that fire pit and melt right through the shell. My GF got me an awesome camp chair for Christmas last year and in my first year using it, it suffered two burn holes through the material while I wasn’t sitting in it

It will probably surprise no one that I am an excellent and precise gift wrapper. I love it when all the patterns line up and poo poo. God that serotonin boost is like nothing else. Like meth before a surgery.

I've melted some Arc'teryx Perimetet pants sitting too close to my Solo Stove. Shame too as they're discontinued. I'm insane and  where I have an eBay alert set up for whenever Arc'teryx Perimeter pants in my size pop up.

Yeah this is the kind of thing that makes me shy away from spending real cash on stuff. Lived too long in my 20s on a retail shoestring budget.

COVID finally hit my house, my wife just tested positive. Kid and I are negative for now, but looks like we'll mostly be holing up for a while. Still holding out some hope that we'll all be in the clear by Christmas, but it's cutting it close. Wife and I both got boosters recently, so I'm hoping we can fend this off.

She told me $15 off the haircut plus they have a bourbon bar, so a drink is included with the haircut. I like the hustle, I’m gonna try it out. I need a haircut anyway.

I found an artist who evidently does a lot of her advertising to horny guys on Tinder, and hey, there wasn’t going to be a romantic vibe given our respective personalities and interests but I liked her paintings enough to buy one, can’t argue with results!

Holy poo poo my GF is finally a CPA They just retroactively extended the expiration date of past tests (that she passed during the pandemic) and now she has all of the tests passed. She was planning to spend all afternoon on a practice test, now she is gonna get icecream and play with the cat. We're both so excited and happy that its finally over, she's been working toward this for 8 years

I have HBOmax, or guess it's just max now, and I watch John Oliver on it and it's loving hilarious to me that every time I finish the latest episode I get a recommendation for Bill Maher. Yes the thing I want to watch after the liberal comedian does funny but in depth reporting about real world issues is the libertarian interviewing fascists while making "jokes" about pronouns.

my mom died yesterday long story short tl;dr the parkinsons made her too weak to fight off an infection probably caused by aspiration, and made worse by gross medical incompetence. friday night stepdad had to make the decision to stop suctioning out her lungs every two hours as she was into tachycardia and wbc going back up again and rbc bad and so on, just let her go, she was very calm and relaxed on the morphine the last two days before she slipped away peacefully hug your moms this xmas, if you can and want to I mean, some moms are bad but my mom was good and if you have a good mom, please hug her

Ah hell, condolences Leperflesh, wishing you and yours the best. And yeah, my mom's still going strong, but lost all her hair after 4 weeks of chemo, and it's been rough watching her go through that. Enjoying the time we have, I'm hoping she can get at least the 5 years average survival rate past it.

thanks, everyone. No, she wasn't in any pain at the end. My stepdad played her favorite music and she vaguely responded to it, although she wasn't mouthing the lyrics any more and she hadn't been responsive to simple instructions (like "move your hand") for a week+. She was totally at peace. Kalli I'm wishing your mom good luck. Cancer treatments right now are amazing. It's no guarantee but survivability is so much higher now than it was even ten years ago.
