The low positive reviews are probably because of the initial backlash. Seems like a lot of gamers are hard to forgive, but I never really cared since I didn't back the Kickstarter or anything. Definitely also recommend!
I start Mages of Mystralia but haven't got very far yet, so looking forward to the twist!

It really does feel nice to feel clean both inside and out after a shower. I put a dash of mouthwash in mine so it gives me a nice refreshing feeling after too.

I'm also kind of glad I have more frequent cleaning visits because it doesn't give my plaque that much time to build up and the cleaning sessions themselves are a lot shorter.
But I still hate it. (Also you comment about ADHD people having worse dental outcomes... Just adding it to the list of "I probably have ADHD".)
Good luck on your root canal!

I recently picked up some bone conductor earphones so I could run without worrying about cars and stuff. I wonder if that could work for you? -

Could be a hobby, could be a new habit.
This year I started using a water flosser! My dental hygiene isn't the greatest and I could count on one hand how many times I flossed in a year, but I read a post saying how someone uses their handheld one in the shower and, yeah, that absolutely clicked for me!
I feel like I have weird sensory issues with using it over the bathroom sink. But in the shower, everything is already wet anyways. I can't believe it's a habit I've been able to keep up for more than half a year now with ease. It's something that I look forward to doing every time I shower. I've even started flossing with regular floss more now because I no longer bleed or feel gross. (I prefloss with the water one first.) Really happy.
I wish I could maintain more habits like that.
I also bought a standing desk and I really love standing and working now, too.

I started again in September as a way to burn off grief and keep my mind focused and it really helped, before that it had been a couple years.
I was pleasantly surprised I could do 30 minutes straight without needing weeks to build up to it. Definitely takes some effort and I'm slow as molasses, but I guess muscle memory is no joke.

However, out of all the dentists I've gone to, none of them have done X rays after the initial consultation.

Tanukey Link ParentI should say, what I pay is 20 bucks, and the national health insurance pays the other 2/3rds so the dentist is billing about 60ish, 75 if I count the fluoride addition I always get.I should say, what I pay is 20 bucks, and the national health insurance pays the other 2/3rds so the dentist is billing about 60ish, 75 if I count the fluoride addition I always get.

I'm back in my home country and it's been extremely busy. There's so much to do. Thankfully my godmother has been helping me out a lot.
We're picking up the ashes today in fact and we've secured a date for the funeral. I didn't realize how long these processes take. I'm so lucky I can work remotely because I'll definitely have to be here for a few more weeks.
I haven't had too much time to myself to cry. I don't like doing it in front of people and my mom's friends / my friends have been over to help clean / organize / go through her things pretty much every day since I flew in. Which is good, but I'm sure I need to be letting out my emotions more. Recently I've felt myself be more annoyed/snappy but I'm trying to keep calm but also not blame myself for being a little ill tempered. I really just want to clear everything up so I can head back as soon as possible. But these things take so long, and I know my friends are trying to cheer me up but sometimes I just want to focus on getting a task done. Cleaning done. Things organized. Work, work, work. I hate that I live so far away, but my life isn't here anymore.
Appetite is really down, which figures, but I'm exercising every day which is helping build it back up. Sleep is still rocky.
My partner has been amazing! Especially the first couple nights I had to call him because I just couldn't sleep. No complaints on that front except I miss him and I wish I could be back home already.
I really appreciate the check up. The one silver lining is how many people have come out of the woodwork to support me and my family. Friends, family, acquaintances, old coworkers, even strangers. I can't imagine the people who have to do this alone. I feel like I have all the support in the world but it's still so hard and so overwhelming.
Thanks again. -

I'm also not a religious person, and I'm sure I'm going to get the same sentiments. I'm just going to let people say what they want because I really don't care but if it helps them grieve, then so be it.Thankfully my work is being very understanding, and I'm also getting that sentiment.

Right, based on the checklist it said a lot of stuff is going to need a death certificate and that takes at least about two weeks. Thankfully I have a remote job and I’m going to ask them if I can work from the other country for a bit after my bereavement leave. We have people over there, (granted in that country’s division,) so hopefully it won’t be too big an ask.
Thank you for the advice I really appreciate it.

Thank you for telling me that about drowning. To be honest my worst fear for a while was that someone would find her in her house who knows how many days later. Her mental / physical health really worsened after COVID. I don’t want to go to much into detail, but in a way I’m glad she was with her dog and with her friends. And yes! She absolutely LOVED that dog! They went everywhere together. And I mean literally everywhere. I think she tied herself to her because she wouldn’t ever be able to bear her dog dying without her. I only got to meet the dog once but she was truly one of the sweetest dogs I’ve ever met.
Edit: (Hit enter too fast.)
I don’t have any children of my own, but I know she would have said the same thing though about not worrying so much about the end. She also said just stick her in the ground the cheapest way possible because once she’s gone she’s not going to care. I’m still deciding on whether to do a service, but I’ll try to at least get her dog buried with her. I know she would have liked that.
I picked it up because of your comment and I’ve only played about an hour so far, but wow! It’s so cute and I really love the art! I caught myself a few times laughing at the cat mascot (his name escapes me) and how much he likes to insult your character.
Seems like a very charming game! Thank you for mentioning it.
