Share some of your good news!
Everybody always so cranky on the forum! So let us remind one another that this is just a game and a very small part of your life and talk about good things that have happened to you lately. Big things, small things, medium things, maybe even medium small things!
For the kickoff and why I'm creating the thread because I'm giddy as hell with the big thing I did yesterday. I paid my last payment on my student loans. 14 years of being hamstrung by a $500 a month bill is finally, finally, FINALLY dead (by daylight).
Now obviously my first purchase post-loans has to be this...
Holly deserves all of the nice things!!!

Alright, this thread failed miserably but I have to brag about my first ever real manly man's adulting and I don't have an excuse to post it elsewhere here...
If you've seen some of my cute animal pics, specifically the squirrels, you'll know my deck looked awful. I finally took some time off and overhauled it.
This is the deck before I did anything to it. It's hard to see but there are pieces with actual holes and rot and whatnot. So I completely cleaned the deck, sanded all the paint off, and replaced the boards that were really bad.
Additionally, the support beams by the stairs weren't actually connected to the stairs so I talked to my brother who did deck building in a past life and he recommended I get metal brackets.
Notice the CAR JACK holding up my deck instead of...well...the deck holding itself up.
Then finally stained it all.
Took two weeks, a lot of money and power tools, and hard work but that bastard looks like a brand new deck now.
I'M AN ADULT!

I'd dress up as a cat and lay on that Lotus Tower for free. Just pay for my travel expenses.
EDIT: And provide drinks and snacks for sitting out on the new deck

My health seems to have stopped getting rapidly worse.
Still have a couple issues that have cropped up recently, but overall it seems like my slide has come to a halt.

Eh, well, we'll see. I've learned not to get my hopes up but I am grateful for the reprieve I've been given.
I'm young though, so I've got time before I start rapidly declining, I think.

I've briefly touched on my health struggles on this forum (I haven't talked about it a ton just because this really isn't the kind of forum that talks not DBD) so unfortunately I know that exact feeling.
You take the good when it comes but it's always kind of in the back of your mind that right now it's good but what about when it comes back? It sucks to live like that but chronic pain (in my case) has a way to beat you down like that
All you can do is take it one day at a time and try to keep moving towards getting better. I'm rooting for you Pulsar.

I do just try to take it one day at a time. Hard to do sometimes though, I'm sure you get it and I'm sorry that you've also had to go through this
I was going to school but I had to drop out because my health got too poor to continue, which was a shame because I had college paid for and I was only 17. I moved back home and my parents mean well, but I think they just don't get it lol
