Also, should note, I have never played Commander? I’ve got a ton of junk cards from my high school days long ago, so I’ll try to make them work. My friend just bought a new house so we have a cool place to hang out. Also he has a Tappan microwave from the 1970s he’ll give me if it works! It’ll be huge and really be terrible compared to even mine but it would be so neat to try to integrate into my life if it’s at least functional (and, of course, safe).

Not horrible! So I have been interested in HRT for a while and talked to my therapist about it. I kinda know a path forward with my doctor, which seems doable… I think? In silly news, got my Zip 100 drive working on Kubuntu 26.04 and Windows 11, which makes me happy, along with my M-Audio Ozonic through my Firewire card. I’ve been cleaning up my home on my therapist’s requests, so that’s good! Trying to take daily walks around some local parks. Friends want to play Magic the Gathering Commander, so I got some cards for that. Possibly going to a D&D Meetup group this Saturday! Things are already much better. Thanks all for listening last week.

No, you didn’t sound like you were trying to tell me how to live my life at all (I appreciate the reply!)! But you’re definitely right, my therapist suggested I look on Meetup for things to get me out of my house. I’ve been trying to drive to surrounding towns to get less nervous about leaving home too (I work from home, which is great, but it has given me some very bad habits about staying inside). Thank you for replying, and I will be sure to keep everyone informed!

Hello everyone! I know I signed up about a year ago, but I finally worked up the courage to post. My life’s been… pretty rough for the past year or so. No major reason why, just my mental health being weird. Kind of old, getting older, never really figured myself out, living paycheck to paycheck in a town I don’t really like, isolated most of the time. I don’t want to sound like I’m whining, so sorry if I do. It’s just all sort of come to a head recently, and I’m trying to figure out if it’ll ever really get what I want out of life. I still have some hope that things can improve, at least, even if it’s slight.
