Wasting time on the Fediverse is so much nicer than the other socal (and beyond! Also social, too.) media I used to waste time on.

Good news! The fediverse isn't limited to SoCal!

For me, I came to think of my dog. I have joint custody of him. Every time he is with me it makes me happy. He makes me happy. I may be ill and exhausted but he makes it worthwhile to keep going. His unfiltered joy brings me joy. I treasure our moments together. Good boy is good.

This morning coffee is so good. Lactose-intolerant partner is gone for a week so I bought real cream to go into it. I don't mind the plant-based stuff at all, the occasional real cream is all the better.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Do they not have lactose-free cream where you live?

People conflate lactose intolerance with a dairy allergy, but lactose is a sugar that is easily removed during processing of milk/cream, and there's a lot of milk products nowadays that have lactose removed (milk, cream, half&half) or never had lactose to begin with (most hard cheeses).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Lactose-free milk is easy enough to find, but cream is harder to find and is much more expensive here when it is available. Partner also has a preference for plant-based for other reasons, so it's simplest to keep that on hand so any cooking and baking results in something we can both eat.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I mean why not just use different creams?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

My wife and I use this same setup. Honestly it's easier to manage one, vs keeping track of two. Also I'm not sure we would get through separate ones before they went bad.

My kitty is soft and cuddly.

I can read!

I CAN READ!

Not everybody gets to learn to read and for that I feel blessed.

My glasses and the fact I have any that allow me to read questions.

The question: "What is the first good thing that comes to mind when reading this question?".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"What question?" Was the first thing I tough after reading that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

OK, but that doesn't sound like the "first good thing" that came to your mind when reading the question. Just sounds like the first thing you thought.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Lmao, I completely skipped the "good" word on the question, had to read it a couple times to find it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

yeah, I guess it's a bit of an unexpected part of the title, lol

I'm sitting here all comfy/cozy. I'm warm, with a full fridge, and a house all to myself with today and tomorrow off work. The feral pack of kittens I feed is trusting me more and more.

I wonder what other people will put in the comments.

The grammar and spelling were correct.

I quickly skimmed the title and got:

"What is the first... mind... reading... question?"

answer: "Do these pants make me look fat?"
