As much as I think it would be fun to have emotive anthropomorphic ears, I also recognize I can barely control my facial expressions. Like hell can I keep from Angry Ears-ing during meetings

This is who you’re having a meeting with, by the way.

It gets better. It's not a linear improvement but you are a persistence hunter. You have more stamina than the horrors

[king-the-pathetic]

And you get to define what "better" is for you. Even with the new chronic pain, I'd still consider my life today better than it was some years ago

If you have a job that specifies your working hours (for example you work 9-5 or 40 hours per week)—on an average day, how much of your working hours do you spend actually doing your tasks?

I even have to work overtime

I'm at 100% capacity, I have to work basically every minute of it

I can take some short breaks (~10-15 minutes) but not more

I can afford to slack off a little bit

I only work at around 50% capacity

I work even less than half of my working hours

I basically have nothing to do all day

no job with fixed working hours / results

My dear freak son. Something wrong with him

[talesfromtreatment]

The most entertaining $6 I've ever spent

[talesfromtreatment]

Every photo of him i take with this ball he looks fake

[talesfromtreatment]

They really do make him look like he's only 2 pounds...

so i think the solution is to give dachshunds a third pair of legs right in the middle

Apparently someone living further down the street from me, have seen me and Røst going past their house almost every day for the last 6 years to get to our usual trail, which runs up above their house.

They came up to my mum out of the blue today, to say they're so glad someone actually uses that trail, because me and Røst are pretty much the only ones who do. And that they were so glad in fact, that they've apparently gone through the effort of clearing it for us, because it's gotten so overgrown the last few years it's been hard to use.

They cleared our trail just because they like seeing me and my little dog use it.

Might cry a little.

It's special to us
