Welcome to this week’s Friday Open Thread! A space to gather, a space to hang out, a space to post photos of your pets or partners or friends or bookshelves or plants or dinner or outfit or your partners or friends holding your pets in front of your bookshelf with plants and dinner on it with a reflection of you in your outfit in some sort of strategic mirror (ten points for anyone who goes out of their way to actually do this, or who can say this sentence in one breath) or anything else that feels right in your heart. Send love, share love, get in here with your awesome moments big and small. I missed you guys.
It’s almost the weekend, so hopefully you’ve gotten everything you had to do done so you can enjoy it! The last few weeks I’ve been working especially long days because that’s what’s making my brain and bank account happy right now, even though it’s murder on my body. I’ve also been adulting hard — a term I’m certain adults use — and figuring out a US credit card and saving for my new half sleeve in advance and only eating popcorn and wine for some dinners instead of many dinners. The world is my oyster! Maybe Monday I’ll go to the DMV! (Probably not.)
Also the last time I hosted I talked about how much I want a dog and guess what, I still really want one! I dogsat for a friend a few weeks ago and even though the dog in question threw up all over the bed and was bad at focusing on walks it was still everything I’d hoped for and more. Anyway my building manager is talking to my landlord about whether I can get one right now, so fingers crossed.
Anyway if anyone happens to have advice related to back pain, wrist pain, eye strain, making your elderly laptop battery last longer, taking care of a (future) new puppy or being patient enough to wait for your new tattoo instead of exploding with anticipation, I’m here taking notes.
But enough about me! TELL ME ABOUT YOU. What happened this week? What are you feeling proud of? Excited for? Eating right now? Drinking right now? Watching? Reading? How’s work? How’s school? What are you doing later? What’s making you happy right now? What new thing did you just try? Did you finally remember that weird dream you had about the ghost with all the pies? Did you talk to that girl? Whatever’s going on in your life, we all wanna hear it!
