But if you notice me starting to do things like "it's been a long day I just want to relax with a drink", maybe step in and poke me. That's not okay logic (for me).

Also if we play games together and you notice I'm drinking while playing games (as opposed to playing games drunk after hanging out with irl friends), maybe actually stage a full on intervention. That's basically all I did at the height of my depression/suicidal ideation.

Hey so I've posted a bit about drinking these last few days

Long time followers might also notice I post occasionally about having quit drinking/having to forcibly abstain from alcohol

I wanted to say that it's okay, for now - I quit drinking when I realized that I'd allowed my definition of "fun" to overlap nearly completely with "drinking". You can imagine (correctly) how negatively that interracts with depression. Part of why I quit then was so that I could still drink socially - which is what I've been doing these past few days. Basically, I can drink while having fun, I can't drink to have fun.

what I've done so far tonight; drank, watched thor: ragnarok again

what I'm planning to do with the rest of the night: eat pizza while taking a bath with my giant black-red-glitter bath bomb :x

Honey cayenne cortado & water https://witches.town/media/rIwE9nB_u2aCFUxQhUE

Back: coconut - almond - honey marshmallows with unsweetened shredded coconut mixed in

Front: flourless chocolate cake with espresso topped with said marshmallow mixture and then topped with sweetened shredded coconut

Gluten free and vegetarian, but cake contains butter & eggs, and marshmallows contain gelatin https://witches.town/media/8dwBQ8DyvLDCYIyyYh4

Things the dog does not like: being made to dance to ska with his mom

happened to get a full game of people in mystery heroes who were ALL super nice. All 11 other players were the nicest.

Feels so good.

I regret to inform you that Kris has been what we call "a bad dog" this morning.

On the flip side, I met the loud neighbors and got invited to another members-only bar??

But they were also drinking out of a bottle of svedka at 9:30 in the morning so maybe I don't want to run with that crowd.

going on a platonic date with a girl to the gay club was a bit 🤔

bar: we do heavy pours
me: okay, sounds like a thing
*3 drinks later*
me: wheeeeeeeeeee
bartender: your water glass is empty let me fix that

Bought a $20 membership to a members only bar because they had a "stop killing trans women" sign.

(not bragging or suggesting printer setup is beneath me more that nothing makes me feel quite as befuddled as driver selection and I now feel like I've learned nothing in the last 10 years of my life)

someone please come set up a network printer for me please

PhD does what?
