Hope everyone has been doing well since the last one! If you've got something cool going on, this is the place to talk about it! Or if you need an ear, we're here for that too. :soviet-heart:

Rough past few days with me, but I'm feeling better. Gotta go take my dad to the doctor tomorrow, he's getting up there in age and it's just something I'm sensitive about. Also working through some emotional issues. Romance is dumb. Spent most of yesterday being nonverbal towards everybody, but I took the corg out for a long walk and then we chilled at a bar together while I did band stuff. She can sense something isn't right and has been extra snuggly (which is a lot).

Hope the person that's reading this is doing really really great.

    DST ending is absolutely wrecking me this year. There are no windows in my department at work, so I see the sun for 15 minutes during my morning commute and maybe 30 minutes during lunch, 40 if I'm lucky. I think I need to find a job that's at least partially remote because I'm going to have a very difficult time doing anything productive until March. Going to try to clean the house a bit today, hopefully a neater living space will help with my mood.

      Is it possible in your situation to get up and do something outside before work? I usually wake up a couple hours before I have to go in and I find I always feel better all day if I walk my dog right after waking up and go into work already feeling like I accomplished something.

      If not then I hope you get the change you need.

        I'm going to try to start taking my dog for longer walks in the morning, although she will probably resist pretty hard once it starts to get cold because she's an old lady haha

          aww, sounds cute. Mine is still a puppy so I have the opposite problem of her trying to get me to do another lap around the neighborhood when I really have to leave for work.
