What made you feel better today?

I donated my time today afterwork. Fixed a motor for free. Feels good to do good for nothing. I like making people happy. Their smile helps me smile. Taking money feels good when I'm starving. Otherwise it feels good to not accept money. He came back with a box of donuts for me. Which I did accept lol.

Talking to a colleague who is also a friend. We had a mandatory reporting meeting which is always hard because they go in all kinds of detail about child abuse. My friend is also a csa survivor and so we processed afterwards and it felt good. During the meeting I colored and excused myself for a snack and bathroom break and got a cold pack and kept it on my lap.
 
Remembering that the earth dwellers I care most about are dead and there's nothing I can do to fix it.

There's nothing I need to do after really. It was never exactly my responsibility to bring people back to life, although I could've prevented some. Much too late now.

They're safe and at peace so I don't have to worry about their well-being and mine doesn't matter so everything is just dandy. 😌
 
After spending the last two months watching daily meltdowns and episodes from the relative I live with, I was completely exhausted. Yesterday I was shaking and unable to breathe right all day.
I started to go into shutdown mode and she recognized it and was able to pull me out of it! It took her a bit but it stopped me from getting too far gone. I feel so much better and relieved that she was able to care and help me!
 
Stuffing.

Food rarely makes me feel better. Think clearer. When it does? Red flags back to one 99cent whopper per week hard ass times., long ago. Not THAT long ago, but FFS, $11 for a BigMac? Nope. 99cent whoppers are burned into me brainz.

If a dollars worth of food makes me feel better? I’ve been slacking, hard, on the home front.
 
that the postage label at the post office actually worked when sending my laptop back, speaking to a woman on the bus and keeping busy all day 😊
