Me and my wife finally got an apartment after being homeless couch surfers for 6 months
That’s wonderful! Congratulations ☺️
Happy for you!
I was on Lemmy and saw a post where a user named TooManyPancakes (which is a lie!) asked everyone for some uplifting news to brighten their day.
It was a wonderful exchange! This caring person, with the poorly chosen user name, took time out of their day to reply to as many comments as they could, with uplifting affirmations of their own.
Completely made my day to see someone ask for help and then return it in kind, many times over. ❤️❤️❤️
Aw, you’re sweet! I just figured I probably wasn’t the only one that could use some positivity today
And for the record, it takes a lot of pancakes 😉
I crushed it in a job interview
Nice! I hope you get it, crossing fingers and toes for you
I got hired!
Granted, my bike was stolen pretty much immediately, but still! I’m exited to potentially not be broke anymore, once that first paycheck comes in.
Boo on the bike theft, but getting the job you were shooting for is rad as hell!
Thanks!
Gotta get that big motorcycle U lock, anything else gets wrecked by bike thieves. Kudos for the job!
I’m taking my health a lot more seriously now, and haven been able to lose 10kg since may.
Damn, that’s some good shit
Congrats!!
Keep up the good work!
Found a woman that is exactly as weird and different as I am, which I thought was impossible, I was already fine with staying romantically alone my whole life :)
Hell yeah! Fingers crossed for you!
It’s when you become comfortable being alone that you find the right person. I think it’s because the right person would never be interested in someone who is desperate.
My life happened to end but I came back.
Additionally, since I’m from Europe I am not bankrupt due to that.
Congratulations on your next chapter! A friend of mine had a freak cardiac event where his heart stopped for 7 minutes and they brought him back. Says he doesn’t remember anything except being home and then waking up in the hospital. Wild stuff.
Thanks!
For me it was almost 30 minutes but under low flow. The root cause is still unknown and I am neither the age nor in any risk group.
When the defibrillator is used you get medication that causes memory loss for around a day before so theres no memory for me.
Also got some wild medication and there’s a lot more to it but sufficient for now.
Best wishes to your (too) undead friend.
My post-surgery biopsy says no cancer, we removed the sad stuff just in time.
That is good news, indeed! May it always be so.
My sickness is finally clearing up after weeks!
Fabulous to hear! Feel better soon 💜
My partner and I replaced the broken kitchen faucet all by ourselves, which might sound lame, but neither of us is a plumber, and it’s glorious to have running water in the kitchen again.
Not lame at all, that is improving quality of life. A leaky faucet is just agony, especially if you only have one sink.
Well done!
It always gives such a sense of satisfaction to do that kind of DIY
McGyver!
Cheers to you!
That’s fantastic. Theres nothing like the satisfaction of a job well done, especially if you’re still learning. Keep it up!
Awesome!
I finally unlocked the confidence to be the version of me that I want to be. Got the haircut I’ve always wanted, have it dyed the colour I want, I’m getting a new piercing soon, and I’m planning out the tattoo I’m going to get once I have some spare money. It’s been a journey to get here, but I’m so fucking happy with who I am and I no longer feel the need to apologize for being comfortable as my self.
Shit yes! Be unapologetically you, you deserve it. I’m super curious though, if there’s any more detail on the piercing and tattoo you wanna share (totally no obligation)
I just grilled a nice steak.
I can’t afford them too often so when I do it’s a great day.
It feels good when you get to treat yourself, doesn’t happen often enough for sure!
Ohh man i reward myself with a weekly steak it usually ends up being like almost a quarter of my weekly food budget fuck a good steak is a godsend.
Hell yeah. Prioritize enjoying life.
Yesterday my toddler comes up to me and says, “daddy, build block tower?” So I tell her to go get her blocks, which she does. We built a block tower, knocked it down (which makes her giggle), built it again, etc.
A decade ago I was in a horribly toxic marriage and honestly didn’t think I would ever have kids. Today, I have an awesome wife and three kids. I love all of them and I enjoy getting to spend time with them. I never would have imagined myself being where I am today and I am reminded often that I am a very lucky man.
I would just love to see your baby giggle at knocking the blocks down. Congratulations. That’s super cute.
I earned a certification last week for work!
Hey congrats, that’s awesome! Hope it leads to a pay bump for you
I hope so too lol
My partner of 12 years and mother of my children got citizenship in my home country a few days ago. It’s been a long and difficult road to get here.
Congratulations!
