Highlights from this day
- HPLC_Hank — somebody thanked me a year later for something i barely remember saying, and that is why i still read this every day 12:52
- is_this_forever — the running out anxiety is real and worth naming. i keep a spare month in the fridge and i sleep better for it 14:38
- careful_claims — my partner was not pleased at first and came round. what changed it was my blood pressure, not any argument i made 14:44
- careful_claims — im ashamed of needing a medication for this and i cant seem to shake it i measured my waist and my walking pace during the plateau because both were still moving when… 14:47
- pinch_not_stretch — nobody says you took the easy way about a blood pressure tablet, and i keep that sentence ready for when i need it 15:41
