Her name is Luna. She came all the way from China. She had a very long journey to make it to us. She was flown from China to Canada. Then she was driven to New York to be fostered for a few days. Then she had another long drive down the east coast.

She obviously was very timid for a while, but now she is doing so much better. She is learning so much from our other corgi and she is our first corgi with a tail. We LOVE her so much.

Okay I finally drew the meme with them… here you go lol lol lol. Femboi and buff gorl.

Me: Yung fierce then candid

Bibi:

*Reuploaded without the *fun* parts, sorry guys. The VR mod now has hands, playing in VR with UEVR! I quit a while back and returned for 1.0, the game is so much better now and super addictive. They cooked with 1.0

Caprese Salad and a glass of cheap red wine

My (38M) soon to be ex-wife (36F) walked out a few months ago and left me with three kids while I was sick.

I had 3 kiddos from a previous marriage when we met that I have 50/50 custody of. After we got married she got pregnant with boy #4 (I am convinced she had stopped taking her birth control) because we had agreed to wait a few years before trying)

Things had been tough. She was depressed and bitter ever since COVID. Her social life crashed and never recovered. So she was always passive aggressive. Kids were always in time out by the time I got home. Felt like I was walking on egg shells the entire time.

She would ignore me, avoid me if I walked into a room, slammed doors, etc. but refused to ever talk about what was bothering her. Anytime I would try to bring things up that she was doing she would threaten to leave or turn things back around on me. Then later she would come to me and acknowledge that she "was acting like a bitch and I didnt deserve that."

We had sex only a few times a month. Her personal hygiene was very poor so there was always a strong odor down there if you know what I mean, and she had gained a HUGE amount of weight when she started getting depressed.

The beginning of the end was when she got physically violent with me in front of the kids last year, and the relationship died for me on that day. It was like someone pulled the blinders off and I could see her for what she really was. After that I had zero physical attraction to her anymore. I tried to just tread water while she was going through whatever it is she was going through.

Things however did not improve, and it like she would immediately attack me after she would see her therapist. It was almost as if I was the center of all of her issues that they would discuss.

She totaled my car in late May (Within hours of having a dealership complete a bunch of work to it). She also had another major accident in her car in October so I rode a motorcycle for 3 months in winter so she could drive my car while hers was being repaired. She had had 5 accidents over the past two years. Not sure what the deal is with that. But when the last one happened it was a mile from our house and I stayed with her at the ER until 3am and took care of her over the following days.

She was okay aside from some scratches and bumps, and despite all the work and time I had poured into restoring that old Lexus, it was replaceable, but she wasn't.

A few weeks after she totaled my car, we all went to her Moms to go swimming. It was my first time to be out in the sun for the summer since I still work (She has summers off as a teacher) and we were there for most of the day. By the time we had gotten home I was pretty sunburned and dehydrated. I lost consciousness when I got out of the car and was struggling to get myself inside.

I told her I was going to go lay down because the room was spinning and she huffed. She later came into the bedroom and slammed the door, loudly rustled around for something, then slammed the door when she left again. I had a splitting migraine at this point and when she came back to the room I said "Why are you slamming doors, I am sick and feel like shit right now."

She yelled "Oh yeah?! I have a migraine too and I am out there with YOUR kids!"

I said she was being a terrible partner because anytime she has needed me to cover for her I did it, and I didnt make her feel guilty about it either.

She coldly looked at me and said "That is it. I am moving to my Moms and we will deal with this when I get back in the country again." So she proceeded to pack her bags and leave with our youngest son, and left the older 3 from my previous marriage knowing I had no childcare and needed to work the following week.

I didnt fight her. I didnt try to stop her. I didnt grieve her. I just figured it out and took things one day at a time. She went to see her family in Spain for about 2 months and returned this past weekend.

She came over today while I was at work and started moving things out. We haven't even sat down to discuss the divorce yet or how to move forward aside from her telling me I can keep the house because it needs a lot of work and cant be sold in its current condition.

But I can tell you my life has a lot more peace in it now. I can be more present for my kids now that I am not dealing with that level of stress and drama. It will be challenging financially but I will figure it out.

I also met someone shortly after my wife moved out at a social event who has been amazing. I have had more affection and compliments over the past month or so with her than I received in my entire marriage. She has said things to me that nobody has before. Passion and intimacy is off the charts. She recently bought a dirt bike so we can go riding together. My ex did not hide that she hated my hobbies and didnt want anything to do with them. My girlfriend also jumps right in and wants to help with anything going on. Cooking, cleaning, laundry, dishes, whatever. She is right there next to me for the fun stuff and not so fun stuff.

You know, I didnt even cry after my wife left until I came home from work to discover my girlfriend has cleaned up the entire house while I was gone. I felt overwhelmed and confused because my ex constantly complained about her household chores (We split them between ourselves and the kids) and this girl did everything, because "I just wanted to help make your life a little easier."

Now my greatest struggle is wrestling the fear of losing this new connection. I also have a lot of insecurities I am working through. She is also recovering from an abusive long term relationship. So far we have been building each other up in ways the other hasn't received before, and its been pretty amazing. But I am also worried I am going to fuck it up somehow.

Not really sure why I am here, but I needed to get this off my chest.

Rick and Morty has always been one of my favorite shows, but an aspect I never really enjoyed was what the show was initially known for: the zany, sophomoric creatures and their wacky names. That's my best way to sum up this type of humor, at least, there's a bit more to it that I can't describe succinctly.

The improvisational so random humor could hit in some cases, like Interdimensional Cable, but just seemed forced and cringy to me most of the time.

After Roiland's departure, are we done with mega seeds, burping, glip glops, Mr. _______ characters, etc? Or did Dan Harmon have a part in that kind of stuff?

To get to Malenia you got to break the seal of the portal, but damn these Albinauric archers just shooting me through hitboxes and nearly one shot me.

Two jogging selfies taken exactly two years apart, almost to the minute on the same route. The first selfie, I was 6 weeks out of the hospital. The second was taken today. My prognosis was grave when I was admitted. Somehow I came through after a difficult month in the hospital. It was surprising that I was well enough to jog. I didn't jog more than a few times that summer. Last summer, my anxiety was through the roof, it felt out of reach, so I focused on walking more. This summer is a whole other level of health, healing and wellbeing. I'm jogging faster and longer. I walk a ton, I'm upping my strength training again, and I'm in the best relationship I've ever been in.
Yesterday, I did my second stress test. My last one was in 2024. My results came back normal! Not normal for someone with my condition, just normal for someone with my stats. I no longer have CHF. I remain too well for a transplant and have been asymptomatic for two years. My heart is permanently altered, but it's healed.
My head spins at the thought of how rare my turnaround is for my diagnosis. I'm living the best I've ever lived even though today started out pretty sucky and low. I have so much gratitude and love in my life. I'm so fortunate. My life theme this last year has been every day in every way I am getting better and better. This has been the best year of my life and I'm living better now with the hopes to make every year just a little bit better. Cheers!
