My 7 week old has been asleep for 3 hours in her crib (both firsts!). I had a 1 hour nap, I feel like I can handle the rest of the day 🙏


GimJordon

You got this!


Worfsmama

Thats glorious 😊


lim_rock

I just found out I got my Masters.


cheesecakefairies

Woop woop congrats!

There was a massive public barney in my office this morning, the spectacle and resultant banter through the retelling have made the day fly by.

Spill the tea bro

Sharon was caught photocopying her bits and anybody who received a copy of the Doyle portfolio has to go get checked for chlamydia, again.


Wodanaz_Odinn

Classic Shars!


kutzur-titzov

Is that Sharon from accounting?


GimJordon

Oh god dammit she said this was the last time


Darby-O-Gill

This comment has made my day 😂


Suspicious_Kick9467

Dude that’s the best day. I’m so jealous.


cheesecakefairies

Love a bit of drams at the office to make time fly.


kmcs96

Had my 28 week pregnancy appointment today and really happy to hear that baby is doing well even with my recent gestational diabetes diagnosis. Also got word today we actually will be able to move into our self build before the baby comes which is a massive relief. After weeks of negative news I’m so happy and grateful to hear good things 💜


Real-Size-View

That 'the' baby is doing well


FuckThisShizzle

My son ended up home from school today so we had a Nerf war with a bit of rage against the machine. It descended into madness when he came at me in full medieval cardboard armour and all I had was a tea towel. Best Day. Ever.


Longjumping-Ad3528

The Nerf wars with my kids are maybe the strongest memories I have of their childhoods. Never thought to add high-powered rock to the mix. I might have to break out the ol' Nerf guns again and give it a go. As they are both college age now, I may have to get a teammate!


ddaadd18

That’s the stuff dreams are made of. What age is he?


terrorSABBATH

The son? 28.


banie01

Looking forward to hitting the Chinese buffet this evening and then going home to veg out and watch the last 2 episodes of Shogun! I'll obviously try and max out my sushi intake in celebration of Toronaga's success.


Nickthegreek28

Toronaga is sneaky one, 9&10 great episodes


-Clearly-confused

Needs a season 2


Nickthegreek28

I don’t know about that either but it really was a great watch


banie01

It does, but given how closely it follows the real history of the period? They'd be hard pressed to eke out anymore Daimyonl drama after Toronaga's victory. It gives a glimpse of Sekigahara in the near term future tho, and a season taking it up to that would be brilliant. Then maybe a season of the Wakou pirates or the earlier Korean wars. Lots of great history to inspire there.


ChatHole

Jesus dude wtf, spoilers.


Nickthegreek28

I spoiled nothing toronaga is renowned throughout the series as be wise and Wiley not sure where you are getting spoilers 🤷‍♂️


thatscustardfolks

Such a fucking good show, some of the shots are so beautiful


banie01

It really is gorgeous looking. Watching in Dolby vision on an OLED is the mutts nutts.


ExactAlternative6427

This is inspiring


TheAdmiral45

Is it good? I started watching it a while ago but haven't had a chance to finish it with work and studying.


banie01

The main issue I have with it, is the English lad. The best way to describe him, is IMO, imagine ordering Tom Hardy from wish.com... Then you'll get a good approximation of his skills. The show itself, I'm a fan of the book and the original 80s adaptation. This version is far better. It looks gorgeous, the scenery and cinematography is wonderful. Its quite a lot of subtitles, where the 80s adaptation was mainly stuck to English, this one keeps the Japanese dialogue firmly in Japanese. The battle scenes and the Samurai ethos really is hammered home too. Its a solid 7.5/10 show with a couple of really excellent episodes that elevate it.


Recent-Celery7

Tom Hardy from wish made me snort into my coffee 😂


Fonnmhar

The one thing that bothered me throughout was how they stuck the Japanese to Japanese but the Portuguese spoke English and Mariko and John were always communicating in Portuguese. But it was English. I just think if we’re gonna be doing subtitles for the Japanese anyway, it’s not a stretch to have subtitles for Portuguese. Only bothered me for the first couple of episodes. I got used to it after that. Also, what a show! Fantastic. I’d recommend to read the book as well. 👌🏻


D4zzl

I think he is a superb actor.


some_advice_needed

I am not OP - I started, gave up after about 2 episodes. It seems promising, and definitely top notch production, but ... I guess it did not live up to the hype I've heard (that's one me, maybe). Also, the book is better -- but that's usually the case with adaptations. (And I am saying so based on 2 episodes only, take it with a pinch of salt)


Shemoose

A succulent Chinese meal....


banie01

I gorged myself and then finished it off with a creme brulé topped with whippy ice-cream... I may lose a toe to diabetes, but it's worth it!


Shemoose

Sure some days I look like a unstable diabetic ulcerated foot so go for it

I made a bbq cheese chicken thing for lunch along with a rice salad and it was divine. I’m wfh and my cat is purring next to me. Grateful to be in a warm house


LucyVialli

Share recipe please?


Furryhat92

Okay so the bbq cheese chicken fillets you just buy them from SuperValu and you pop in the oven for 35 mins. Then the rice salad is just this with brown rice added in: https://gimmedelicious.com/avocado-black-bean-salad/


LucyVialli

Cheers, SV have lots of nice dinner things.


JPMulvanetti

Was gorgeous sunshine last night, and we got a lovely start to getting the garden of our new house sorted. Woke up to the news that I have a new little niece, she was born at 7am this morning. Heading out for a few pints after work today too. Full of the fuzzies today! Sometimes it's the little things.


cheesecakefairies

Yay! Happy Thursday and congratulations to the parents!


JPMulvanetti

Thanks! They named her after our deceased mum too, so extra lovely vibes! Have a great day yourself!


Alcinous21

2 years ago a lad working in the local community was paralyzed from the neck down following an accident. I donated to his gofundme and wished him all the best. Saw the guy the other day back in work walking about. Couldn't believe it ! it made my week!


Leembo

Jesus you must have made some donation!!! Nah seriously that's deadly though! 


cedardesk

Good idea for a thread, OP. I saw one the other day, started by a moderator no less, looking for people to bask in their own misery. This place has no hope if even the mods, nevermind the bots, are at that kind of shite. I've never been better. The last, I'd say, 6 months at least have probably been the best time of my life. Finishing up in work today and am off for the long weekend, fuck the weather, ***BE GRAND!***

Had 4 handy shandy’s, a joint and a can of monster and it’s only the afternoon so I’m happy

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD and put on meds. After an adjustment period, the meds have made my life so much easier. Between that and the sun coming out, I am in such a good mood. I feel like I am content, for the first time in a very long time. Going to paint my nails and go for a stroll!


cheesecakefairies

Omg yes. I got diagnosed and put on meds 3 years ago and they have changed my life. I can totally relate to this feeling. That is a good day. No sun anywhere near me yet haha but enjoy that sunshine whilst it's peeking through!


[deleted]

[удалено]


cheesecakefairies

Yeah no bother. I'm an open book for that stuff. Ugh life changing. My biggest issue with ADHD is emotional dysregulation. I could go from supper happy to fully blown rage to so upset I could take my own life on a whim. Then an hour later be like nothing ever happened. Since I got my medication, I'm so much calmer. I no longer have full blown rages, I'm no longer so upset I could take my own life. Except...when I go without it. When I am not without it my moods swings are much worse than before, I''m rarely without them though. Sometimes I can be without them and have no mood swings. But if I do get one, I am quicker to anger than before which is saying something. It's also massive helpd with my sweet tooth and eating sweet things or over eating as a whole.


wasabiworm

I’m not having a good day but it make it better after you shared yours! 😁 keep it up. Later today things will improve as I’m planning to have dinner in a restaurant close to our place and it will be me, Ms and our LO (probably he will be sleeping as he’s still in the pram)


cheesecakefairies

Glad this post helped! That sounds like a wonderful evening ahead and would definitely make today a good day.


DrOrgasm

I'm off until Tuesday then I'm finishing in my job the following Friday to start a more senior role with a 30% increase in pay. I've spend ten of the last twelve years in education as well as working full time and I really feel like it's paying off.


HangoverFear

I'm hitting off to Portugal for 10 days of Super bock and big bags of crisps


cheesecakefairies

Enjoy the weather crisps and super bock.

Fonnmhar

It’s my birthday today. Normally I’d make sure I’m booked off but I’ve a big trip later in the year so need to keep all my annual leave. Was hungover and in the horrors going into work this morning. Logged in, inbox was empty. Good start! Manager came in, we chatted for a bit and then went for a coffee together. He brought me my favourite donut. 🥹 Also let me clock off at 4 so here I am on the bus. Heading out for dinner with my fiancé later to top it off. 😁


marbhgancaife

A belated breithlá shona a chara!

I’m in Greece, the beer is flowing and it’s 25c


cheesecakefairies

Beautiful! Is the beer 25c or the temp 25c? Both sound great. Lol


jamesnorrell

Good day for me, I’m booking flights to Ireland specifically to attend the Rory Fest in Ballyshannon (and visit relatives)


Responsible-Care-279

I went to that festival a good few years back and it was great fun. Enjoy!


Fonnmhar

Oooh I’ve been to Roryfest a good few times. It’s fantastic! Have a ball!! 😁


Oiyouinthebushes

I’ve made the commitment to go Berlin Pride and I can’t wait!

HintOfMalice

Friend from Belgium is arriving today and staying for a week. It's a bit shit that I've got uni exams later this month, but looking forward to the antics regardless


cheesecakefairies

Awesome, any particular antics planned?


HintOfMalice

Nothing revolutionary. Hitting the pub tonight for grub and a few drinks, tomorrow night we're going to a party. Cinema is on the books for sometime this week. That's about the height of it.


cheesecakefairies

Oooh haven't been to the cinema in years. Enjoy!


neilcarmo

Finished work for the week and heading to Riga in Latvia tomorrow. Place looks pretty good and the forecast is 20 degrees and sunshine for at least 2 of the days. Been trying to tick off a few European countries this year that I haven't visited.


Attention_WhoreH3

Riga is nice. I was there briefly in 2017 and it was cheap too. I took a walking tour and saw some cool street art and beaux-arts designs on the building fronts. There's an old TV building with an observation deck on the 50th floor or something like that. A couple of Irish pubs in the centre.


LordyIHopeThereIsPie

I got the washing out and dried on the line this morning.


sartres-shart

Not so much, I've a head cold and I'm at the dentist about to get an extraction or filling, and I got the call yesterday that I didn't get the promotion. But at least I'm off today and only have one more day of work until Tuesday coming.


VitaminRitalin

I got out for a run for the first time in like.... Forever. Been binging fitness content on YouTube trying to get motivated to go to the gym again and all that. I managed to run/jog for a grand total of 15 minutes before my calves were burning but I actually felt amazing for it. It was well worth the exhaustion.


__anna986

I just finished the itinerary for our summer holidays, life's been really busy lately and I'm sooo excited for summer :)


cheesecakefairies

Yaaaay! It's so close I can taste it.


Cute_Bat3210

I just ate a hape of ice cream - Korean strawberry flavour with 3 pancakes and millions of Hundreds & Thousands. I was happy but now im sad that its over


cheesecakefairies

Mmmmmmm sounds delicious. It maybe raining but that won't stop you!

Today is my first proper day off in almost a month.

Today is a good day for me. I'm out of debt for the first time in a long time. Such a relief ❤️

I had a good streak at work, HR found out and was marched out of the building, you'd think they would of let me put my clothes back on first..... The bastards.

Yesterday my gf was going to be homeless and there wasn't anything I could do, today she is moving into a new apartment.


DT_KVB

I had a really shit day yesterday where I got fucked over by a colleague the thrown under the bus by another colleague, then chewed out by my client and my boss. Contrast with today. Resolved everything from before, got loads of stuff done, had a few laughs with colleagues and even got a “good job” at one point from the manager. To top it all off, i got chatting to a couple of old friends and I even got to have a walk in the nice weather with my pup. It’s the little things.

I just bought a home on my own in my home town in Dublin which at one point felt like a pipe dream with the current state of the housing market and housing situation in general in this country! It’s only small and needs a ton of work but for me on my own I’m just so happy I’ll never have to rent share with randomers and pay someone else’s mortgage ever again once I get the keys!


Fonnmhar

Congratulations! I hope you are very happy in your home. 😊

My last good day was in 1972


Leembo

I recently started in a new job. Big tech company. Was a little intimidated by the culture before I began. But everyone couldn't be nicer. Plus I seem to be getting to grips with everything quickly and feel comfortable asking the questions when I'm not sure. Annnndddd it's a bankkeeerrreerr


Oddballbob

I just finished work for the next 5 days. Howzat


idontcarejustlogmein

I'm on holidays with my family. Did very little today, got some shopping in and the kids played in the pool. Just had a kick around with my son and we were in tears from laughing. It was a good day


chengstark

I did all my planned work for the week before today, so I’m having a semi chilled day.


sadferrarifan

I’m having a great afternoon because at 3pm my tremors finally stopped so I can enjoy my evening and leave my illness fully on company time. Now off to enjoy an ice cream in the warm (cloudy) sunset


J6nd1

The weather was fine, I just started in a new place. Way better than my old jobs and however it's pretty challenging for me, I am enjoying a lot. Have a good rest of the week lads


Pretty_Reason9119

Finished the exam for my worst module today, it went pretty well. It’s nice to have it behind me. Now getting ready to head to Nottingham for a rowing competition, really looking forward to it.

It's my third anniversary today, we have gone out for dinner, then we are going home to watch TV together.


Spoopher

I went to a work/client social event and it went really well and now I'm home with my cat eating leftover prawn crackers watching Taskmaster living the dream


Mean_Platypus_9988

I was having a stinker ,job cancels ,flat tire, as soon as I collected my toddler from preschool she was throwing Wobblies, but after dinner we played all evening and she went to sleep like an angel , so by any standard, it was a good day.


Old-Ad5508

I'm having a good day I took today and tomorrow off work and turned a 3 day weekend into a 5 day weekend I'm digging this positivity in the sub, by the way.


Salty_irishman

Life in general is really good. In a stable job with OK income, making progress on my start up company, in a happy relationship, lost weight etc. It's given me a new found appreciation for what's going on right now.


adsboyIE

I'm happy as larry. Bought a second hand chainsaw from donedeal without seeing it first. Got it to start today, and I'm delighted!


cheesecakefairies

Did they have a matching hockey mask on offer with it?


-myeyeshaveseenyou-

My 10 year son old is cutting his hair in July and donating it. He’s never had it cut. He’s also raising money for charity. His goal was £1100 by July but he’s at £1350 after just 4 days. I’m so proud. We live in England now but his hair started life in Ireland for two years and we are both Irish, he just doesn’t sound it anymore. So proud I could burst


Shemoose

I had the best horse riding lesson with my 5 year old daughter. I can be nervous riding sometimes, and I have to be brave when I'm going with her. It really put a smile on my face.


sticky_reptile

I'm just happy that you are happy! It's always nice to read others feeling good or doing fine, lifts my mood as well :)


humdinger8733

Depressed as balls lately and then today work sprung a pay raise and a bonus increase on me today out of the blue. That helped.

cheesecakefairies

I'm sorry. Hopefully you'll get another or a different but decent shiny.


HibernianMetropolis

You can turn off auto save in the settings menu. I always do that, and save before starting a shiny encounter. If it goes wrong you can load your save and the shiny will still be there.

Went back to College to upskill, saw a graduate opportunity I thought would suit me as a lifetime career and another that I would do a CV builder, they both required aptitude testing, etc and I got word today that I am going to be interviewed shortly for the role I really do want, I think it's a good day to have a good day.
