  #3GoodThings - I wanted to give up on my challenge to juggle 10 times in a row but I didn't and now I feel relief rather than shame and frustration. Yey! - Jaws is a really excellent book. - I also practised some card magic today whilst enjoying a delightful mint tea.

  #3GoodThings - I had a juggling lesson and it was exciting. - There was a bake sale at work so I bought a couple of duffnuts*. - I got out for another little run. *These are doughnuts but in English you can pronounce "ough" in literally any manner you choose so I call them duff -nuts

  I have 3 new pairs of leggings. The softest leggings ever made in the UNIVERSE. Here is pair #1 for your viewing pleasure. I chopped my feet off* because some of you don't like feet pics, or you're just too cheap to pay for them. *chopped off with my photo framing skills. Not lopped off with a sword Edit: most important part that I can't believe I forgot to mention... They have pockets!

  #3GoodThings - Feeling down in the dumps all day but being brought round by my friend being unable to say "Ocarina of Time" until he settled on "Orca of Time" and we spent a long time imagining exactly which hole you're blowing down to get a sound out of that. - Jenkins was a bit off last night but was his usual chirpy self today. - I recorded a song. I sang Night Will Come from Groundhog Day. It's not great but that's the point. It's human-made. When I&#3...

  #3GoodThings - I embarked on a how-hard-can-it-be task which was making my own Yorkshire puddings despite only knowing the theory and the meal was to impress the in-laws. It was a success and they were huge. - I got a voucher for a free pie. - I slept for over 10 hours last night.

  #3GoodThings - Going out last night means that today feels like Sunday. It's nice to realise I have another day off before work yet! - I finished my music/video project and sent it to a couple of people already. - Tea makes everything better.

  @Erased_Citizen@cupoftea.social do you think Kenny B is more of a meat feast or a mushroom and ricotta type of pizza person?

  Mixing it up for a change and I'm going to come up with #3GoodThings for tomorrow rather than today: - I'll be doing my friend a favour just to make them smile. - The teapot I painted today will have cooled and be ready for use. - I'm going to record more of my violin for my little project and it's soooo close to being finished.

  #3GoodThings - I did a charity run, the first run I've ever done with other people, and it was lots of fun. My legs will hurt tomorrow but that's okay. - My best friend invited me to an online spa birthday party for her in October and it sounds rather lovely. - There was a video of me before the run and I looked happy and careless. As in, I had no cares. That was also fun. Also, SO MANY glow sticks. #running

  #3GoodThings - Making elderly people laugh. - I ate to benefit Future!Helen when Present!Helen was refusing. - My best friend checked in on me and told me she was proud of me. #food

  #3GoodThings - Not shying away from scary conversations. This is a good thing. They're awkward and often end in tears, but keeping the avenues of communication open helps hugely in the long run. I lived up to this twice today and came out stronger because of it. - Jenkins 🐇 gets softer by the day. He probably did it on purpose because he ate the carpet and wanted to be cute. This carpet has already been torn up due to building work, so it's fine. - Jenkins also helped with some DIY....

  #3GoodThings - Reconnecting with an old friend and laughing more times today than I remember in a long time. - Whole day to myself and I made a big leap in progress on my film project. - Another positive mental health day where I feel pleased with myself.

  Solo trip to London, here we gooooo! Also, I got my new microphone setup to work and recorded a crappy version of my violin... but it worked! And I did a beautiful stream of planes into Manchester airport this morning. Yey for air traffic. This is #3GoodThings! And the bonus 4th is Jenkins is back downstairs now the paint has dried and wafted out of the lounge and he's just done zoomies. He's been pretty miserable upstairs but his respiratory system will thank me! Zoomies means he&#3...

  @Troggie@beige.party @Erased_Citizen@cupoftea.social I agree it *should* work. But it's not recognising my keyboard plugged into it. Which is really mean of it. I will continue to fiddle because I'm convinced this is the way!

  Much excite for axe throwing tomorrow morning (hopefully). It just feels like a fun thing to do. I think I also need a mace.

  Bit of a random one but if anywhere can help, it's the Fedi: My friend is naming a photo that's going up in my bathroom. It's of a puffin that looks incredible and then you realise it's doing a massive shit. He wants to name it *Fratercula Arctica Cacare* But we've essentially just made up the Latin at the end. Can anyone help with the #Latin and make sure it makes sense? I wouldn't want any native speakers to come by and laugh at our amateur language skills.

  Has anyone tried Loops earplugs for sleeping? They have some sleeping earplugs "even for side sleepers" but I'm dubious. I recently bought my first pair of Loops (the experience ones) which made a music concert a far more enjoyable thing and immediately bought two more pairs for different bags. So I'm already sold on the brand, it's just this new product I'm curious about. #loops #earplugs

  #3GoodThings - Another day, another lengthy and deep conversation with colleagues. - Ticked off lots of organising jobs around the house. - Messages from close friends making me smile.

  #3GoodThings - I promised to record a song for my friend. All week I thought about what to play and practised a lot... Then today the perfect song came to me and I learnt it super quick. Yes, it was from Groundhog Day. How did you know? - Jenkins did some epic zoomies before I went to work early this morning. His kick flip was incredibly high. - I put all of my mugs into the new kitchen. I have a lot of excellent mugs.

  It happened. Today I feel like I *need* a run. I'm looking forward to getting on that treadmill at the work gym because I know it will fix me. It will work my muscles and force my brain to get out of its arse because I'll be pushing so hard. It took several months of hating it and every time wishing it was over. But now (I still wouldn't say I enjoy it) I want to do it. My brain needs running. My 'tism needs running. It's the best way I've found to regulate my emoti...

  Haven't even lived here 24 hours and Jenkins just did some epic zoomies. I suspect he loves his new fully carpeted room! #JenksterFreitag

  After more than 6 months, tomorrow we move house. This is a big step and genuinely feels scarier and more significant than getting married. Up to now, none of it felt real. It's going to be a very exciting few months. Someone hand me a paint brush!

  #3GoodThings - Packing up the house is moving along nicely. Moving day is Friday. I'm excited to get painting. My grandpa was a painter and decorator his whole life so I think he'll be proud I'm doing all of that myself. I love it. - Last week's extreme excitement buzz is now a constant hum of warmth as it appears my new friendship is continuing quietly and consistently. I feel so much less alone and like my people really are out there (not just hiding on the Fediverse). - My...

  #3GoodThings - I have a friend I've written to roughly once a month or so for the last 16-ish years. Today I wrote a super long one to her, which she will love. - I had a snooze and still fit in all my jobs I needed to do. Most of which involved leaving the house. - Jenkins is a cunning blueberry stealer. No one would ever notice him because he's just so sly.

  It's been about a week and I've had a complete loss of appetite. As someone with a bowel disease, I can assure you this comes with no other symptoms whatsoever. No pain or blood or anything. That's all healthy and normal. But I know that loss of appetite can come with stress so maybe it's that, but good stress? Eustress? Because I've been so overly excited and happy. Could that be a thing?

  Can anyone recommend a good book for how to look after roses? Like a manual I can refer to when I wonder what's going on. I'm UK-based and I'm about to have a garden filled with roses. I want them to flourish but my knowledge is limited to chopping their heads off at the right time. #gardening #roses

  OH MY GOOOOD It's only Friday. Haven't even done the thing I'm excited about tomorrow. It might be shit but right now I'm fucking BUZZING. BZZZ BZZZ. Hello bees. How are you? I'm fucking GREAT. I never thought I'd feel like this again. I was so miserable and vacant of hope. And I remember when the plug came out and it all became possible. It was seeing Groundhog Day on June 17th 2023 and now I'm here and I'm fine and fuck I could just cry all the happy tears but...

  You can expect some unhinged madness from me on Saturday morning. So excited. MUCH EXCITE. I will be doing a social. And it will be one of those life-changing days. And I know this will happen before it happens. Therefore. MUCH EXCITE.

  Gynaecology called me today saying, "sorry you've had to wait so long on the waiting list for this follow up appointment. Are you free tonight?" And that was when I discovered apparently I've been on a waiting list? I asked if they knew what this was for and she said no. So. I guess we'll find out later!
