Woohoo! 🎉

All the pet pictures! I’m having a shitty day and they’re cheering me up no end

Also grateful for no afternoon meeting today

Hambam! 🥰

No pets currently, but here’s a pic of the nice maggie that spent the day in my backyard a while back

You’re totally right about the reality check - usually I’m on the ball but was a bit distracted today, which I’m sure didn’t help.

I also know what you mean re the monk situation. I’ve definitely had a few instances where in hindsight it’s been, why the f did I fall for that?! Scammers know how to get past people's defences.

Oh, that’s a chomp.

Hope your liebe is doing ok. Years ago, after some very bad news, my doc told me to have some time outside in nature. I very sceptically laid on a towel in the backyard, which actually seemed to help. Maybe a walk or some time outside might help?

Thank you. It definitely reminded me that I’m probably not great at self defence if it came to the crunch, lol.

The local shops usually aren’t too bad during the day, but less ok after 6 or so at night when there aren’t many people around. When I lived in the area, the smith street woolies had a similar vibe to Preston - it definitely made shopping there an experience.

Thanks.. feeling better now

Posting this to debrief so will prob delete in a bit. I was just at the local shops, and jogged slightly crossing the road as the walk lights charged to orange.

As I got to the other side, this aggro-looking man held his hand up (middle ‘FU’ finger up) right in my face so I had to dodge my head back, and kept it in my face as I went around him. He continued glaring aggressively as I went past and away down the street.

Have never seen him before, and no idea what that was about. There are always people begging at the shops and some seem to have mental health issues, but I’ve never felt actually threatened in the 10+ years I’ve been here. He was very likely methylated or something, too (not that that’s an excuse).

I’m fine (and am usually tougher than this), and I know it’s very minor in the scheme of things, but am feeling upset and yuck right now.
