a very good day

[ree]

Today has been nice. I was able for some long-overdue catching up with a dear friend. It sounds like we both miss each other and are interested in spending some time online together, and we have the means to achieve that, so that's just yayness all around.

I had worried that, if I spent today chatting, I wouldn't get anything done around this house. That didn't happen. I think I actually got a little more done than usual, because I was looking forward to responses instead of sitting alone with my "welp, everything is terrible" mood. That's extremely promising for chat-housework balance in the future!

(Maybe I should have been able to figure out that, if I took better care of my emotional needs, life would go easier. But. Everything is harder lately, for pretty much everyone except maybe a few assholes. And I figured it out now and can use that knowledge, moving forward. Yay.)

I like today. It's very good.

Everything being harder for everyone except maybe a few... truer words... I think they are true all the time, but we definitely feel it more now. I'm glad you and your friend had a chance to catch up! Some of mine have been exchanging letters and post cards with me. It's really nice. After this is over, I hope we still exchange letters. I really missed that!

That sounds lovely!

I don't know if you use Android, but I remember you liking Vivaldi - did you hear that their Android browser came out of beta lately? It has built-in adblock now!

Did I? I haven’t used an Android device in at least 6 years!
