It’s practically 80⁰F/26⁰C where I’m at, and I’m sleep deprived :^L

    My (now ex) partner tried to throw my work laptop into traffic and put me through an entire day of physical and emotional abuse.

    I walked home on xmas day around 10pm after managing to trick them into letting me leave.

    I dont know how to feel, im safe and we’re never talking again but yeah, its hard.

    Snowed like crazy and it was cold as hell but I slayed at the party games. My niece and nephew loved their gifts but they did get into a few toddler fist fights which I had to break up. The food was also fantastic and I brought home a large casserole dish full of leftovers.

    Some of my family were annoying but that’s normal coming from those specific individuals, I just had to do my best to ignore them. It wasn’t even political, just them arguing and also poking fun at me because it’s easy.

    Its over. I’m in Christmas now. I’m in the southern hemisphere so we are balls deep into summer but it is literally 10 degrees C. We had to have a heater on over night. Climate change is fucking stupid.

      OMG! It was a bit less than 23° here.

      I visited my ex neighbor in a care facility, today, then took my fur baby for a walk, stopping to check on an elderly neighbor on my way home. They were outside enjoying the weather and their intended early dinner had gotten cold, so I reheated it for them and joined them, white grits and chicken fried mechanically separated, pressed beef or pork, hard to say, followed by a doughnut and nutritional drink. My guts are rebelling, lol. I planned on a salad at home but it’s Christmas Eve, and she asked, so I didn’t want to be rude. Washed up and came home and had an orange to hopefully get the fermentation and good gut bacteria on track, acv shot wasn’t sounding great.

      New Year’s Day will usher in overnight temps freezing and below at night, about -8 was the lowest I can see for now, probably in time for my next client, but I’m past ready for them!

    Not bad, will have a white christmas with snow in forecast (altho its been warm here too and it may just rain insread)

    I took a pet sitting gig, mostly alone in the woods at an anarchist-esque community space with a dog and cat in a cabin without electricity or water for 9 days.

    I kind of prefer this, my mental health is way better than it usually is this time of year. I dont do christmas well.

    Hit by a very debilitating episode since yesterday 😩 I’m not sure if it’s because I stopped the tricyclics or my body just decided it wanted to throw a fit but here it is. Got prescribed stronger antiemetics to try but I haven’t ordered them yet (insurance bullshit) and I could go get them on the 26 when stores open but they will have to order it so I’ll only get it on the 27. I have a family dinner and drive on the 26 lol.

    Aside from that I’m just managing one day at a time I guess.

        Thank you for your kind words 🙌 I’ll try to take it easy until then but it’s not easy with a family that doesn’t really seem to remember that I’m disabled and has never once asked me about what my triggers are or how I manage with them. People incl family just assume what you can and can’t do and what you need or don’t need for you when they could just ask “Do you know your triggers, and how do you usually deal with them?”

        The day I dread most is the 26th but it’s at my grandma’s house so I still want to go lol.

          Oh believe me, I am well aware

          “Do you know your triggers, and how do you usually deal with them?

          Yeah, that’s not a question I will answer from my family, because then they will be the stage upon which tap dancing in stilletto heels commences. Tomorrow I am giving myself the gift of peace by not going home; and my personality disordered parent the gift of a different target.

    It was about 4°C here in Germany, warm for December. My little niece loved the presents I got her and I ate like a Hobbit and will propably take days to digest all that delicious stuff.

    All in all a pretty good christmas.

    Good, I finally got to sleep after 2 weeks of retail hell chain clopening and having a generally messed up schedule. I slept 18hrs today, if that doesn’t say good enough on its own idk what does, dream quality and content was just the chef’s kiss on top. This is also the first Xmas eve they’ve let me had off in years. Best Xmas eve I’ve had in decades, 10/10.

    For not so good because my schedule was so tight this year everyone is getting their presents in bags this year and no fancy desserts, I’m simply too exhausted to bother with baking or candy making.

    I’m tired of leftists taking Ls and I wished it got significantly worse for right wingers and I’m starting to hate reddit and removed for rule 3 violation because moderators would rather prefer that the problem didn’t exist than do anything to meaningful address it so not good
