matterbandit: I know this isn't the forum for such discussions, but I felt the need to respond to your remark, GR. ;) Just because a certain publisher decided to push their drm game onto our platform, does not mean I will punish all those other cool publishers who wholeheartedly released their games here drm-free.

So, what I'm saying is that I use my GOG wallet like a bag full of delicious cat treats: I do my best to reward good cat behavior. And if there's a cat out there who thinks it's cool to vomit all over my face, well then, that cat ain't getting a single treat from me. :P
Well said and agreed 100%(it's the same stance I hold). :)

matterbandit: With Autumn and Winter at my doorstep, I noticed that the general decline of bright sunshine has a profound effect on my mind and every year, it gets worse and worse. So, today is my second morning experimenting with light therapy and I already feel a positive difference. :) Hope this treatment will carry me through the dark months ahead!
You should/could also try soothing/uplifting music as well...that often works for me. :)
(I also sometimes like a good cup of coffee/etc when getting up)
There's a quaint Vietnamese take-out joint newly opened in my neighbourhood and I must say my tastebuds were quite impressed. I love quality authentique Asian cuisine very much, so I'm happy to have this new place within reach. :)

Never seen that oldie, but it's now etched in my mind. xD

I cleared a "hurdle" on going back to Linux.

I have an NAS on which I keep media files, in preparation to go back to Linux I installed a VM on which to run test, one of the test was to access the NAS. I originally was unable to access its shares and the error I was given was not helpful because I knew it was wrong (something about a wrong share name). I eventually figured out that my NAS uses an older CIFS version and I just had to tell that to my mount command.
I rarely buy clothing in thrift shops. Books, kitchenware and other stuff, yes, but rarely clothing. Often, I find that the men's selection is so sparse and bland, compared to the variety of choice available in the women's collection, so I don't even bother browsing it.

But today I accidentally stumbled upon a gorgeous charcoal grey wool sweater with a pronounced collar, just perfect for the cold days ahead! Not often do I hear myself say, "Wow, that looks great on me!". I paid 2$ for a sweater in mint condition. :)

Springboks this time :)
My cat's blood glucose numbers were 166 last night thus didn't get an insulin shot and was 119 this morning. Normal for cats using the cat meter is 80-120. He won't get tested this evening for another hour.
I did a video chat with friends... though after the short call I cried because I realized how sad I am and how I have no friends on this side of the country so they are all 19 hours away...
Cruelty Squad, though not in the... "normal" way
Went to a protest, and I'm glad I went.
Yesterday before i went to bed (technically it was today because it was past midnight) and - out of the blue - after i left the bathroom I realised how good everything at the moment works for me.
My entire family is healthy, I'm financially safe, I have a job that I really like and my work-life balance is somewhat even and theres no indication whatsoever that will change in the future (in both ways) ... and all of this in one moment which brought a really broad grin to my face .. so, yeah .. can't really explain why my body thought it had to be, but it happened. And I'm glad it did!

Against the law in Texas? Kudos!

I'm currently happy about the autumn weather. It's so cozy and colorful!
Being alive?. Spring warm weather i guess...
Apparently Facebook is down worldwide xD

Whatsapp too though, which sucks a little bit.
