Has anyone else here ever been so through so many consecutive months (or even years!!) of being stressed out to know end each day, that you start to notice… *things* happening to you mentally?? Like… I have this new fascination with Lovecraftian horror now. I used to cringe hard at it. But now… my brain responds to it like any other form of art or media. Entertained. Not horrified.

Then there’s the anti-catharsis of seeing all these new indie games that I CAN’T PLAY BECAUSE ALL I HAVE IS A PHONE… This one:
Look Outside.

My God, it’s just beautiful out there!! Look how colorful and vibrant it is!!

Trying so hard, SO SO HARD to cope. And it’s not that I can’t. It’s just that I have forgotten all my other, more “mundane” go-to coping skills, except for Aloe of course. Although, it becomes more difficult as The Oasis continues to acknowledge real life’s winter season…

I have good friends who can hang with me weekday afternoons, but they are married and spend time with their wives on weekends. I vow to put an end to weekend isolation this year.

I have to be very honest about something. Recently, since last year, all of last year… I have been feeling significant damage to my mental health. Aloe lives, she cannot be hurt by something like this. Only I can.

Videos of game play throughs have been keeping me entertained. Weed has kept me calm. THE COLD IS KEEPING ME SHAKEN AND BLURRY HEADED

Something that the universe never says about going through life: When you’re a young adult, coffee is a boost to keep you going. When you’re about to turn 30, coffee becomes NECESSARY!!

You never realize how big wolves are until you sit them next to a dog (namely a German Shepherd). Also, that our ancestors still teamed up with them.

There's a local who brings a wolf to the cafe, great big lovable beast!

Starting to feel better now but early this morning while it was still dark it felt like somebody had just dropped a house on my chest..

Fun fact: If you feed a raven or crow, they may leave something shiny for you, although they become aggressive if you don't feed them consistently.

That said, some individual birds have been observed leaving small objects (bones, bits of metal, bottle caps) near people who feed them. This is rare and not intentional gifting in the human sense - it's more likely coincidence, play, or caching behavior.

Also they don't expect food on a schedule. But if birds associate a location with food, they may vocalize loudly and hang around persistently

That isn't aggression or revenge - it's learned expectation, like pigeons waiting near a park bench.

Training any wild animal to come to you for food is a very bad idea, they do get more aggressive if the feeding stops and it also encourages them to forget their natural instincts. More and more areas in Australia are banning the feeding of wild animals and the fines aren't small.

I have to say that the non alcoholic Heinekin is pretty good.

You should get into brewing Kombucha. You can get it to an acidity or dryness you like. Jun is kombucha made with green tea and honey instead of black tea and sugar. Jun kinda hits like beer. A lot of head, and very dry with a little sweetness. If you add hops to the tea, it really does taste like beer. Plus you get those happy belly probiotics.
