For the older posters here, you know the drill. No struggle sessions, keep it nice.

For the newer folks, hi! I'm Corgi! I made these threads from time to time to see if everyone is doing OK. Got something cool you wanna talk about? Need an ear for venting? This is your space! Just be nice, this isn't the thread for arguments.

I made a down payment for next year's wedding recently, and I've been having a BLAST with the Retroid 3+. I've been going to the bar with the pup the last few days and just sitting with a pint and playing MVC2, Twisted Metal Black, Smash, and Mario. Met another Hexbear IRL recently, that was nice!

Hope everyone is doing well! Remember, you are loved stalin-heart

yesterday they delivered a mattress and one of those adjustable bed frames i ordered a few weeks ago, and took away my old mattress (14 years, originally $200). i haven't had a good night's sleep in probably 3+ years and only thought about "maybe it's the mattress" after stumbling on some discussion online where somebody posted almost-religiously about figuring out their sleep style and getting a decent mattress to suit it.

so fuck it, i did the whole deal where i went to a place and laid down on a bunch of mattress/frame configurations. almost zonked out in the store on one of them in a few minutes. my first night (last night) i slept like a rock. normally i toss and turn like an angry pig, trying to do some kind of bullshit pillow+blanket contortion tetris. this was the first time my morning alarm woke me up in god knows how long, with me being in the near exact position i laid down in. normally the first hint of light has me waking up and stirring around in addition to all the other times i would do it throughout the night.

all this set me back a chunk of change, but its starting to look like one of my all time best moves.

We just got a new couch and it's nice to not be poked by springs. Hell yeah, glad the new mattress is working!

Met some really cool new people over the past few months and made friends, turns out they're all LGBT like me lmao. I find it very interesting how we all sussed each other out and became friends, gaydar is definitely real for me at least lol. They're the only people I'm out of the closet to in real life now, so yeah being semi-closeted sucks. Also not able to see them in person for a while yet, which is also shit.

I keep getting triggered(not like the internet meme, PTSD triggered) and telling my boyfriend dumb shit when he's already having a hard time. How do I not be like this?

That"s been weighing on me but I'm good otherwise.

Sending good vibes. Have you considered therapy at all? Might be a benefit.

I have but due to irl circumstances I won't be able to for a few more months. I will be getting an appointment as soon as I can.

Going back to school half time on top of a relatively comfy job and oof I forgot how much I hate change, plus the workload is a bit daunting.

Trans dungeon started up and it seems like they're taking covid precautions super seriously. Want to be involved but don't want to overload myself. But I need social interaction...

Good luck! You can do it!
