    I took all my meds on time, and so did my dog.

    Oh! I also baked a pizza and it was really tasty. Pup didn’t get pizza, but did get oven-dried fish skins and he’s really happy about that.

    I’ve been focusing hard on my job, and received feedback from a C Suite Exec this week that he is impressed with my professionalism and interpersonal abilities, especially when meeting with other execs or company lawyers. He even has started coming directly to me because, quote, “Shit gets done when you’re involved.” This is huge to me because I’m impossibly awkward in social circles and mostly a shut-in neckbeard, but somehow it works for me at my job.

    I also received recognition in the form of a beautiful glass plaque from the CEO this year, and it feels amazing.

    I crawled my way up from homelessness to stability and now I’m rocking it at my job. Feels good man.

    I know it’s a bit taboo and perhaps unwise to put so much emphasis on your job, but it’s what brings me happiness because I’ve struggled and fought to get to where I am now. My success has afforded me a comfortable upper-middle-class life and I’m still kind of shocked that it all came to fruition. Went from sleeping under the underpass to a penthouse condo in less than two decades.

    I left a company after getting laid off and surprisingly found a job before the 60-day warn notice expired.

    Second day, the new company announced layoffs. Luckily, I wasn’t part of it, but that has been a wild ride.

    The company that lost my $3500 computer a month ago finally sent off a free replacement and it’ll be here next week! Normally, they replace it with a refurbished one but since they don’t have any, I’m getting a new one.

    I got stoned in VRChat for the first time, not too long after getting my first VR headset. As a furry who’s very interested in screwing with my sense of self, this was a really big deal to me in a way I can’t easily explain.

    I’m sort of dating someone.

    2ish weeks ago my parents met another couple at a cocktail party and found out they had a single daughter about my age. In an extremely unsubtle attempt to set us up our families did an escape room together. Honestly, sex and dating have never been important to me. My longest relationship was a couple months long in high school, I went on maybe 3 or 4 dates in college. I went to this escape room thinking I’d make pleasantries for an hour, solve some puzzles and go home. But when I met her she was cute, and smart, and funny, and after we escaped she asked if I wanted to go with her to something else she was doing that day. We ended up spending the whole day together. And again the next weekend. I haven’t “officially” asked her out, or kissed her, or really acknowledged anything about what this is. But I have had so much fun with this badass trapeze-flying, skydiving, engineering, competitive dancing, just-so-cool woman that I can’t stop thinking about when I’ll see her next.

    I ordered more edibles for tomorrow which means I have an extra one for today and I won’t run out like I thought I would.

    My employer offered me a modest severance package, and set my last day to be the first working day of the month, meaning my health care benefits are valid for almost a full month after my last day.
