Hello comrades and welcome to the fourth improvement megathread of January! 
One more week to go, there is still time to make some progress and finish the first month strong.
How was your week?
Do you have any plans for next week?
Good luck with your goals! 
A community which focusses on improving yourself. This can be in many different ways - from improving physical health or appearance, to improving mental health, creating better habits, overcoming addictions, etc.
While material circumstances beyond our control do govern much of our daily lives, people do have agency and choices to make, whether that is as "simple" as disciplining yourself to not doomscroll, to as complex as recreating yourself to have many different hobbies and habits.
This is not a place where all we do is talk about improving "productivity" (in a workplace context) and similar terms and harmful lifestyles like "grindset". Self-improvement here is intended to make you a generally better and happier person, as well as a better communist, and any other roles you may have in your life.
Rules and guidelines:
I want Communism to happen exactly for all those reasons. You should have systems of social support that exist to help you when life comes at you too fast.
Update on the cons, swelling has gone down on the hand and I'm not watching the clock waiting for pain meds. Have an appointment tomorrow with the orthopedic place to hopefully set it correct and get a long term cast.
addiction
Relapsed again on both, AND got my first ever speeding ticket last night, AND my dad had a fall and is going to the hospital and it doesn't look goodFUCK YOU, IT'S JANUARY
Update on the pros, got the other 2 kitties in yesterday for their shots and microchips. Curly didn't wanna get in the carrier, then didn't wanna leave it, then didn't wanna get back into it when it was over. Felix complained (gently) the whole time but was well behaved. Not as good of a trip as Rosie and Goggles had, but still surprisingly good for their first trips.
hell yeah
