MangoKangaroo,

I have the big sad.

potpie,

That sucks, Internet friend. Want to talk about it?

MangoKangaroo,

You’re very kind to offer. It’s mostly just self-image stuff that will have to clear out in its own time. I’ve at least got an okay support structure, so I’m not going it alone.

Radiant_sir_radiant,

Have a virtual hug anyways (no rubbing, promise). And remember - this too shall pass.

MangoKangaroo,

Thank you 💜

Radiant_sir_radiant,

Congratulations, I presume?
Is it a poly constellation or don’t you have a name for it yet?

Is it a poly constellation

just a fairly straightforward arrangement where all three of us are dating each other

Radiant_sir_radiant,

Aww, so lovely. It’s not often this actually works out, so I’m genuinely happy for the three of you. There’s no such thing as too much love!

xilliah,

I’m interested in something like that too but lack experience with it.

I’m wondering how you balance between letting things flow organically and sometimes forcing communication. Because I really value the former, but I feel extra communication might be required for poly.

Sombyr,

Just like every other week of my life, it was mostly good and I had a lot of fun, but just one bad thing happened and that’s all I clearly remember now.

This week I played games with my wife, we both made new friends, which we’ve been hoping for for a long time, went to an in game event and laughed our asses off about how crazy that got. It was really fun.

But then I got sick, severely injured my pinky toe and can’t walk, and had a minor argument with my wife because I woke her up to ask what to do about it, even though I knew what to do already and my anxiety just made me not trust myself.

I really hope the good parts are the parts that stick in my head, but that’s not usually how it goes with me.

Radiant_sir_radiant,

severely injured my pinky toe

Aw man, that sucks both for its effects and for how much people underestimate the consequences. Did you stub it or cut it? Keep it snuggled up to the two toes next to it and make sure there’s a steady supply of chocolate.

Sombyr,

Slammed it into my solid wood coffee table in the dark because I wasn’t paying attention. Broke it, which is the second bone I’ve broken in my life. The first was the same toe, the same way.
The toe is cursed I think.

pretty great! had my first agility lesson of the new year with the pups, and they rocked it. got a crate for the incoming foster dog (her name is coco, pics next week). got together with some bike/camp folks and planned our next campout and longer day ride. got to see the fellowship of the ring (extended edition) at the theater. played a first session of a tabletop game called wickedness.

i need to stop being so busy, but at least it’s good busy. 😮‍💨

Radiant_sir_radiant,

Lucky you! Mine did every obstacle exactly once and then was like “look, now you know that I could do it if I wanted, can I go now.”

Don’t forget the pics!

i always pick dogs i think will enjoy it, since it’s my main reason for having dogs, hehe. my last dog (passed away last year) was the only one i’ve owned who didn’t really enjoy agility on any level. she was my professional couch potato. she was also much more chill than my other two agility nerds.
