    I live in Norway, and in my city dogs go free on the city busses. I rarely take my dog on the bus, but I've never had any issues when I do. My dog gets a bit stressed if there's a lot of people, so we try to go when it's calmer if we can. We've met other dogs, and I've seen dogs a few times when taking the bus the past few years, and it's never been any issues from anyone. Most people seem to enjoy seeing a dog :) To be fair I've only seen well behaved dogs on the bus, and the owners are always attentive to their dog.

    I also saw the one piece live action, and I think it's a great live action. They've done a really good job, and everyone involved in the production deserves applause.

    I picked up OllieOllie world on switch on sale, and man I am so bad at it. I actually seem to get worse if I retry a level too many times. Not sure if I regret it or just need more time

    I read! I can't do audio books, I have no patience for them. It sucks cause I know theres several good audiobooks around, like the Stormlight Archive and stuff, but audiobooks dont draw me in the same way as reading does, so I end up not paying attention to them and having to rewind.

    I'm still reading The Expanse series. I'm currently at the start of Persepolis Rising, which I think is the seventh book.

    I don't know how to write a blurb about it without spoiling anything, so I'll just say it's a really good sci-fi series. I thought the first book was a bit of a drag to get thru, where I got real tired, but either the books got better or I got used to the style of writing cause I didn't have that problem with any of the other books.

    I just wanted to say sorry about your situation. I think the breakdown is understandable, that's a lot of stress to have been under for a long time with your jaw, and to then have to be on a liquid died for so long must be so hard. I went crazy with a two week liquid/soft food diet after my wisdom tooth surgery (x 2 since they did one side at a time). I hope you heal well this time so you're done with it finally! You're doing great, remember to try and be extra kind to yourself.

    I'm not doing great. I started therapy and was diagnosed with PTSD at the start of the year, and today I learnt that my therapist is changing jobs in a month. She's going to try and refer me to someone else, but with how the medical system is where I live, and how understaffed it is I probably won't get a place there, which means I gotta quit or pay out of pocket (if I can afford it).

    I've spent the summer moving apartments which has been a huge stress. The apartment I moved into was not cleaned at all, and I spent a lot of time and energy cleaning it, and arguing with the landlord who claimed he'd cleaned, even with pictures of dust 5 cm long hanging from the middle of the ceiling like the worlds most gross birthday decoration. I'm just really feeling so burnt out and sad all the time, and especially this past week I've felt extra exhausted.
