I reconnected with a friend of mine I hadn’t heard from in almost 15 years and they weren’t a CHUD! Still a lib, but I’m gonna send them Parenti and let him work his magic.

I made 3 watercolor paintings

They are my first attempts since I was a child. I’ve been wanting to for years but finally went for it. I really enjoy it

I’ve got a nice buzz going tonight and it’s got me in a good mood

my son is very cute and is about to be 2 months old.

I’m also yet to have a drink at all since he was born. I thought I’d feel like i’d have to cave before now, but i just keep on not-doing it, which makes me happy about my self control i guess. it’s helping me keep off the 10kg i’ve lost since he was born.

I’m also going to see Justice on Friday, which is kinda a lifelong dream gig and is the first real ‘thing’ I’ll do since they boy came along. I’m also more confident this week that my wife will be fine with me going out - even if i did originally buy two tickets and we wanted to get someone to sit him, which is a completely unachieveable plan now that things have panned out - which makes me feel like we’ll be able to get through me going back to work

Finally feeling like I’ve gotten out of a rut I’ve been stuck in since winter and getting back into the swing of things, thanks in no small part to quite a few people here on Hexbear being supportive and encouraging

Two people at college said hi to me first and had small talk without me initiating. Mind you I’m painfully shy and socially anxious so that’s progress for me!
