Briar King Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Standing outside with my dogs so they can do their business and I'm staring up at the jewel that is Venus. Mars is close to it as well but it's really dim. Amazing. 2

Delightful Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Because the world isn't an all bad place: remember a couple weeks ago I got bullied into buying shoes I didn't like? I tried to return them today and the dude goes no you wore them I can't resell them (but I can stretch them for you) goodbye. Boo hoo and I'll try sell them online. But wait, there's more. I still *need* warm shoes. So I walk into another shop to see what I can get. I'm torn between two choices. Knee high boots which I've been unable to find in my size since I was ten, and a really awesome ankle length, more comfortable, cheaper pair. I'm trying them on, I'm basically the only person in the shop. The shop owner is asking me am I student, where am I from (and major points to him for asking if I'm from my city and THEN asking where I'm originally from and making jokes about me leaving the kangaroos behind). Cheap comfy and awesome vs expensive, slightly less comfy but where-the-hell-might-i-ever-find-these-again-I've-been-looking-for-years. Ok. I'll have to buy the cheaper ones. I ask if he's likely to have a sale on the knee-lengths sometime in the future. He says, you know what, I'll give you them both. He discounts both pairs, waits for me to run and get cash ad I walk out with (blessings for my success and happiness and) both for just over the original price of the knee high pair. This has been my life story of the day. I am a happy camper. Now my toes can be warm!! 6

Briar King Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 16 hours ago, Darkness Ascendant said: photos? Yeah Kay is right. I took this one the other night on my iPhone 6 and does it no justice. You can see Mars faintly above and to left as well. I have a 7 now so I look forward to seeing what the upgrade camera can do.
Darkness Ascendant he/him Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Night sky photographs ok with my camera. huh

I'll take some when it get's sufficiently dark. On the other hand, It's been raining briefly, and guess what, I saw my first rainbow in a looong while. And when I looked closer, there was another rainbow on top of that rainbow, sure it was faint but still. Brightened up my mood considerably

Kaymyth she/her Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 I just got back into my full weight loss routine for the year. Ultimate goal is to lose at least 20 pounds (this would bring me back to my wedding weight). A bit more would not go amiss, though I think 30 would probably be a safe upper limit, as this would bring me to 140. Current plan (started from last week): Lose 10 pounds by JordanCon (late April). Lose another 10 pounds by God Auction (mid-July). Well, guys, I just weighed myself and I lost 2 pounds this week! 7

I hit it on a step that I didn't realize was so close as I turned around. So, sharing from the Bad News thread here, but my nail is basically normal looking now, over a week later (never turned black or anything like that, I kept a bandaid on it to keep it from getting messed up again, but that's off now). Very relieved about that. 2

Mestiv he/him Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 After a rough day at work yesterday, today went super smooth. My eye is back to normal after the incident with cats claws and I've finished my trial period at work and signed a regular contract. Life is good. (For now :P) 5
Sunbird she/her Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 @Mestiv I'm really glad your eye has healed up. I got super worried when you told us about the infection. 1
