a meme with a white background and a cut-out photo of a grey and white cat with its mouth open, looking in the direction of a photo of a laundry basket full of clothes that has been edited in. text has been edited from other versions of the meme to say in all caps, “Why is it always full[?]”

i have so much to be grateful for, and yet there's still so much going on that's less than awesome.

ah, well.

sorry to hear. the fatigue can be rough. try to hydrate and if you can, have a little something. hydration will help and you need to eat, even if you can't cook. 🫶🏻

understood... just don't let it go too long.

separate email to someone trusted could work too, but not always 100%.

anyway, you know where to find me.

i would call them (not reply) and ask if they meant to send that or "let them know" the link isn't working and see what they say.

sorry to go IT/tech support on you but i would be really careful and run a scan. monitor for any strange behavior.

it was likely a goof by someone tech inept (i used to be operations/admin at a law firm...), but unexpected contact with a bum link is making my spidey sense tingle.

being alone does not have to be lonely.

(i know some of this is my disposition but i don't think we examine loneliness enough, in ways that build up distress tolerance and coping mechanisms.)

i lived alone for a few years, and was alone for much of it due to my medical issues and no family or friends nearby. there were weeks when i could barely get out of bed, much less leave my apartment.

but i rarely felt lonely. i chatted with friends, had video calls with family, etc.

some of you are absolute badasses in one way or another, and some of you don't even realize it!
