I picked up a 3D printer.
This summer is my first ever in 42 years I have a “beach body”. I’m totally getting a sick Spider-Man costume for Holloween/comic con.
I was a single, almost 40 years old and happy but somewhat lonely dude 2 years ago.
Now I have a wonderful wife and my twin boy and girl are the sweetest little bunches of joy I can imagine. Additional, my mum sold her house and now we have enoth money to take a year of work and care for the kids together.
I’m tiered and, i am exhausted, but feel so endlessy blessed and happy every time I look at my wife or my children.
Can we get this thread like once a week or every other week or something? This is awesome
This is what Elmo wanted from us.
My cat. Sure its not recent. But my cat 😃
My union renegotiated our contract and it means I have enough coverage to get a crown for this tooth I just broke, the coverage literally doubled.
My garden in the back of my house started producing spinach, kale, arugula, and lettuce. Still waiting on the green beans, zucchini, and cucumbers. But the garden is absolutely blowing up. So I’ve been entirely invested in it.
After a long recovery I can finally start working out again
Also I have an amazing dog that I love and I’m thankful for him every day.
Friend I’m at the end of a two year long recovery to be able to use one of my arms again. It’s amazing to be able to do things with my upper body
It is joyous
I’m happy for you! Keep going strong!
Two specific things.
- My wife & I bought a house! 🎉
- My doctors got me on ozempic because i have hypothyroidism & i literally cannot lose weight. Ive dropped 20 lbs in a month & a half!
Congratulations. Please be very vigilant about monitoring GI side effects though, my SO was hospitalized because of Ozempic and is now in a class action lawsuit because the manufacturer did not reveal it can cause gastroparesis.
Im specifically on zepbound which apparently has less side affects. But damn that first week was a literal shit show.
I did not know hypo caused that, I’ve been trying off and on for years to drop weight. I was diagnosed years ago. I did see my weight go up but I assumed it was because I left the service and wasn’t doing PT regularly anymore. I’ve been stuck at -16lbs for months now. Awesome to hear that, might peruse a similar angle myself now.
My doc was telling me that people with hypothyroidism dont have a “set weight” or a weight that your body is comfortable at because everything is broken and terrible. So yeah. Definitely ask.
Wait, how. Why can’t you loose weight? How does it come, that you can’t loose weight with a calories deficit? I’m really curious.
Hypothyroidism is a hormone imbalance and one of the side effects of that is weight gain. Additionally, to supplement your hormone deficiency, the medication you take causes you to gain weight. A lot of people cannot control their weight with hypothyroidism. This medication is kind-of a god send.
Thanks for the explanation.
This is a nice thread. I don’t have any big achievements recently but I’m doing alright. Hope you are too.
You achieved positivity for others this week. Win in my book
I just had my first serious art show. Not solo, but still.

We bought a house with some farmland and moved in a few months ago. My farming ventures have been hit or miss (“learning how not to do it” as some might put it), but we had some fruit trees/bushes. We now have ume (plum) jam and are still into fresh blueberries and biwa (loquat). It’s really nice to be able to eat things from our own land when they are most fresh and delicious.
Ume sounds so good.
My post-surgery biopsy says no cancer, we removed the sad stuff just in time.
That is good news, indeed! May it always be so.
i fought a traffic ticket and won lol
