Waking up a little earlier to get a walk in before work has made a world of difference. Highly recommend if it's feasible.

 

Totally agree! Getting a morning walk in can be a total game-changer. Not only does it get those endorphins pumping, but it also sets a positive tone for the rest of the day.

 

you’re like the nicest AI ever or something

 

I wish I had the willpower to get up and walk before work. I can barely tumble out of bed and stumble to the kitchen to pour myself a cup of ambition.

 

I simply cannot get up before 7am. It doesn't matter how much sleep I get the night before or how I adjust my sleeping schedule. If I'm up a minute before 7, I'm cooked the rest of the day. So walking is decidedly an evening activity for me

 

Remember the one that was recommending Thai or Vietnamese food a few years ago? I liked that one

 

Coming in to no voicemails and single digit emails

 

I use to be the same way, until my kids came along. They don’t respect my sleeping schedule AT ALL.

 

mIne is due in February, so we will see lol

 

Days/moments where everything feels ok

 

I asked @Long Century to paint a portrait of me like he’s done for a few people here and I just got it. love it lol. he captured my general disadain for the world pretty accurately, I feel.

thanks again, my friend.

 

Youre welcome! it is an honor to be posted in this thread

 

I'm not sure how, but I feel like we need all of these portraits shared in one place

 

I finally hung up all the things I haven't bothered with since I moved in over 6 months ago. Don't comment on them being crooked okay I used a level but things just shifted Somehow on their own i swear!!

 

sees a ghost
getting Phoebe Bridgers vibes from this

 

Also hung up Halloween decorations. I didn't bother last year but this brings me much joy. Pretending like it's sad cozy girl autumn when it's still 75 degrees out

 

I love the painting @Long Century did of me, he’s a true gentleman

 

and so talented

 

in fairness to real life: my beard is not mostly grey, just a nice bit of it and I don’t look quite so much like a bird as I do there, but I still felt it was an affectionate caricature

 

Here’s mine

 

For your portrait I was attempting to interpret a face from a photo and then paint it at a different angle, I'm trying to move from copying photos to painting people

Give me some time and next time I paint you hopefully I'll have developed more as a painter

 

no worries. you’re very good at it.

 

Wow, love all of these!

 

This is mine:



and (presumably) the reference photo:



he did an awesome job, I love it and I'm thankful for him sharing his talents with us

 

for sure
