Yeah, a lot of my friends are either still living at home, or they're struggling to survive living with working roommates or working girlfriends/boyfriends in a $1,100 a month 1 bedroom 400sqft apartment.
But I knew what had to be done to be able to have canines mates of my very own, and what I had to do was work work work school school school save save save for pretty much every penny I have. But once I got to the point I needed to be, I jumped at the first opportunity. I am lucky that my parents didn't kick me out of the house as soon as I turned 18, that definitely helped a whole lot, even if I had to pay a bit of rent towards the end.

So glad I'm not of a younger generation, things were hard enough 30 years ago.

I will say that many that are still living at home now don't have a lot of motivational drive. Pretty much since young childhood to young adulthood I had it drilled into my head that if I don't work my ass off, I'm going to be living in a cardboard box eventually. The joys of growing up poor.
But yeah, things now are kinda fucked for the younger generation in general. Hopefully this'll eventually change, but probably not anytime soon. Ain't much we can do about it, as the politicians are only out to serve those that line their pockets.

I understand that. Lately I have had a little crisis of confidence in my effectiveness in my role as well as temptations to take my foot off the gas.
I feel bad because years ago I would have killed for this job and now it feels kinda bleak sometimes. I keep telling myself “you did this turn around in 4 years what can you do in 8”. It’s the dark times that make the good times worth it. Despite how dark this sounds I am super fortunate to have what I have and my heart goes out to those who don’t have enough who are struggling. Sometimes you realize that things like loneliness or confidence affect those at all levels in life. It can take a lot to admit that sometimes.

You could say that. Hope yours was better, YIMBY. Yours too, Floof.
I ended up taking a nap and messing my sleep schedule up even worse.

I just got done taking a nap not too long ago, and right now I'm just sitting in front of the mock fireplace heater toasting myself up from the post nap chills. I was luckily able to whip my schedule back in place.
Hopefully you're able to find some R&R soon, and hopefully you're able to correct your sleep schedule soon as well.

Those post nap chills are real, for sure! My newfie girl is trying to snooze about 3 feet from me while my littler girl has decided to sandwich herself between me and the heater. ?
I'm sure you can do it Fox! I believe in you!

It's almost a shame that I have to get up and take my two on a walk, but it's that time again.

T'was only a short walk, just so that they can use the bathroom. I've already taken them on their daily long walk earlier. They're both back in front of the heater of course, the little girl about 2 feet away and the big girl about 5 feet away. I'm now in my chair. But it's time for me to head off for now and enjoy the rest of my night. Later counting crew!
