Life has decided to unconsensually fuck me and the people I care about up the ass. I could use some stories about the joy and wins of my fellow Fediverse users.

I've lost enough weight to no longer be type II diabetic.

Hell yeah! That’s awesome!

Realized I’d dropped a cup and band size and that’s why my bras all felt terrible. New bras yay! My wallet cries, but it feels nice?

I overpaid my taxes and got 3300€ back.

Also, yesterday my customer blew my mind by telling me that he's a literal rocket engineer by profession. Then I blew his mind by knowing the difference between Ramjet and Scramjet. He gave me that impressed Obama meme look which stroked my ego.

I just have a shitty bookkeeper who I paid to screw up my taxes.

I went to the local science center for the first time in probably 20 years. Was a lot of fun to see how much has changed and what has stayed the same.

Money is not overly abundant currently. Today we got a notice in the mail from our landlords that our rent is being lowered by 20 bucks a month (yes, you read that right, lowered) and we have been overpaying on our utilities so we're getting some money back which, incidentally, can then go directly to our upcoming electricity payment haha.

That felt like things working out nicely out of the blue.

The shitbox I live in is getting a new roof. And not just any roof. A metal one.

I had a jump pack in my car when a friend's battery suddenly died without warning.

There was a wooded area that got devastated by a tree disease so I got some stuff together and planted new ones of different local types.

I found a forum where I can talk about suicide without anyone shitting on me or shoving motivational cheap crap down my throat, that's good, it feels good to have place where I can talk openly about it.

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Mind sharing where you found it? Asking for a friend.

Okay but they also encourage suicide which is not what someone who's suicidal needs.

[-] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Uh... hmm... um... well, I didn't die. I mean nothing bad has happened, so that's good, right?
