yeah they know me, and they singing every word like they was at the karaoke

No news remains no news, and not much of good news, aside from the fact that we may not go to trial.

it's a pleasure to rediscover that having someone I really like around more means wanting to have them around more.

I've decided I'm too old to not be serious about my life anymore. Yes, this last birthday happened to be the big 3-0, but let's be real: I could've made this decision at any point in the last decade if I hadn't been so fucking shell-shocked that I managed to make it past 21 without offing myself.

So in the last week, I did the following things in this order:

Monday: got diagnosed with a skin infection
got severely grossed out
made plans to move out

Tuesday: moved all of my toiletries and at least half of my active wardrobe; spent the night at my new place, which I'm sharing with three other people.

Wednesday: got my peer recovery specialist certification

thursday: locked my keys in the car, went to therapy.

Friday: Went to work, did not die from the death of a thousand overdoing things.

Today's dollar store win: Red Hots cinnamon gum.

Today's dollar store loss: blistex chapstick that manages to trigger my main allergy to a type of scent anchor commonly found in laundry detergents.

Maybe now I am recovering from death plague we can talk

Hah, it was months ago but I am still processing!

It's always good to see you post. Congratulations on the certification! And the birthday!

FWIW, in my experience and that of many people I know, getting into your thirties is awesome.

Congratulations both on getting your certification and on not succumbing to the thousand things!

And I hear you about no news.
