RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

Went to the doctor. All tests are well. This means my fatigue is probably just caused by my customer service job, in which I get 9hr shifts and no chair to sit on

Tomorrow I will have a job interview. First one in a few years. Of course they'll turn me down but that's still a progress. In my region and profession I wasn't able to reach even this stage:)

Pretty good! I got a puppy on Monday and have been looking after her. She's been super chill while I've been working from home. Today was the first day she was allowed to go on a walk to the park (due to the timing of vaccinations) and she did really well :)

I've been awakened from my house-hunting slumber by a house that has everything I want, and is actually somewhat affordable (compared to other similar properties, but still, yeesh this market)... Except it looks like it hasn't been cleaned in about 40 years. Going to an open house tomorrow. In all the photos, every single window and door is wide open, so I'm expecting maybe some kind of smell that might change my opinion, but it looks like it wouldn't be too much effort to clean it up and finally move up from my tiny apartment... I'll probably get outbid by 30% like the last couple times, but I won't know until I try!

Not too shabby. I'm chilling in the sun with a coffee and a view of the sea, sitting on garden furniture I just (almost) finished making using old pallets and discarded furniture I found in a skip. It occurred to me that all I really want is to grow my own food, relax with my family, and make shitty furniture from found wood. Regrettably I live in a city and need to work to afford survival 🙄.

My stress levels are at their peak. I think I'm going to end up being homeless tomorrow

It is how it is. I'm just tired.
