All in all, pretty good. I finished with intensive out patient last week, so I start regular out patient today (3 months sober!). It’s my second week of my new job and so far everyone is pretty chill. My pixelfed account is trending right now (I’m not completely sure what that means/does, but either way it’s cool that people are enjoying my hobby) I’m @Swanton if any of you want to check it out. It’s only Tuesday, but so far so good

Then I’m hitting the farmers market and then relaxing at...

What are some fun time wasting websites and or apps?
Nothing specific, I’m hoping for the opposite. Something most people either aren’t familiar with and/or just something you enjoy.
what are your weekend plans?

what is something that immediately makes you think someone is a decent human being?
I think people who are patient and interact with children with respect and empathy is a giveaway.
it's Friday night, what's everyone doing this weekend?
