One I would describe as more of an acquaintance. We have a really good mutual friend, but we pretty much only hang out in group settings. We get along well, but there's not much binding us together.
Another is actually more like a brother at this point. We tried to be friends initially after the breakup, but we were both pretty immature and shitty about it at the time. I ended up cutting off contact and then reached out several months later after emotions had cooled down. We're not as close as we used to be, but we care a lot about each other, and I do think he'll always be like family to me.
This week is going fine so far, but last week I said goodbye to my kitty buddy, Ralph. He was 18. I've known him his whole life, and he's lived with me for most of it. (A friend of mine left him with me when she moved and couldn't take him with her.) This guy has been by my side through so many changes in life, always the sweetest of cuddle buddies. I still keep expecting him to hop up on my lap when I sit down.
Every time I think I can't be more dumbfounded at the state of things in this country, I'm proven wrong. This is the actual front page of the HUD website right now.
It would be cool to be able buy merch with the option to donate the same merch (or cost of merch for other needs depending on request) to another person in the community.
I always hate when people are sad but... I told this guy straight off the bat that I'm in a monogamous relationship. Had some excellent conversations with him about socialism. He kept trying to kiss me. He's a nice guy. He's mostly sober but on a bender because he can't deal with the world. Damn, do I get that. But fucking boundaries, man. I finally just up and left mid-conversation.
Happy that my current representative has a spine. I'm in the midst of a move, and my new representative, not so much. Just emailed him to let him know I'll be campaigning against him in the future.
I officially got the job offer that had been in HR limbo for awhile, so that's a huge relief! Less than a week until the big move. Trying to force myself to take a breather now and then between frantically getting things done.
