The book I read asks to find something worth waking up early. I thought I would go grab a coffee in the coffee shop but in reality I want to sleep more and I'm extremely nauseous rn

Hope you're feeling a bit better. Waking up early can be pretty tough.

[–] vivalapivo@lemmy.today 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I do, actually. I was laying in bed for an hour with my phone and grabbed this fucking coffee 💪

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago

Heck yeah, nice work!

Things have been pretty overwhelming. It's a difficult and stressful time at work and in my personal life and I don't feel like I can talk to people about it. It'll be ok though, I'm working through things but it might be a little while before it's really under control. My fitness routine is the thing keeping me sane right now so I'm grateful for that.

Pretty rough, all around, and I'm running outta time, it feels. 🤷🏽‍♂️ C'est la guerre.

[–] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Missing my cat terribly. Had to put him down two weeks ago after a long history of illness and it was the hardest and shittiest time. Now my living space just feels empty and I miss his attitude. Aside from that I feel suprisingly well, I can think straight, mostly healthy. A bit strange.

[–] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

I feel that, i miss my cat too... But i'm glad you're okay, besides that.

[–] mischk@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Quite okay. I'm a bit tense because of a work appointment, but that's okay. Tonight I've set myself a challenge: I've been wanting to go to a club meeting for a while, but I'm so scared of it. Today I finally want to make it again. I've made a plan and hope it works out!

[–] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

Yay, good luck!

[–] jupyter_rain@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Wish you all the best, you can do it! :)
