Hey Fedi,

How are you doing today?

Everything okay? Do you need a hug?

I bet you could use a hug.

๐Ÿซ‚

@alice +1 ๐Ÿซ‚ for the cuddle supply pile, share out as needed.
@mindpersephone @alice Hugs would make a great currency. Endless resource. Everybody wants them. Everybody can offer them. No inflation. Trading of hugs increases human value. Alice shall be known as the Huggernaut.
@alice i may, or may not be, a little worse for wear, officer.
@flipper @alice ๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿ’œ
@alice
My dog is both the best and the worst alarm clock ๐Ÿฅน
@alice What a transparent ploy to get hugs that totally works on me. Here's a hug! ๐Ÿซ‚

@alice

Take a hug, give a hug.

It's been *a lot* lately.

@alice you're gosh darned right i could yeah, hugs to all

@alice Mostly ok, wouldn't pass up a hug, but I don't need to be near the front of the line. You?

Your anxiety dream post nudged meโ€”mostly in a good wayโ€”into a rabbit hole of self-reflection about a similar dream I had recently, impostor syndrome stuff, body image stuff, sibling stuff, hoping I'm doing better with my kid, etc. Thanks for sharing it.

@alice ๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿ’œ thanks
@alice ๐Ÿซ‚ Not the worst of days but I won't turn down a hug.
@alice many {{{{{hugs}}}}} needed, these are trying times

@alice
Thank you. I did need one.

๐Ÿซ‚

@alice
Hugs for everyone

I'm feeling rough, had a 'top & tail' procedure... colloquial for Endoscopy & Colonoscopy.

Hugs to You for Caring โค๏ธ

@B_Bird @alice

Hope you're the small cat in that cuddle puddle

@B_Bird

I hope the results were good.

I had one Friday 13th. Luckily, I'm not triskaidekaphobic.

Goodโ€”found nothing new.
Less goodโ€”didn't find a cause for the problem I'm having (too little iron in my blood)

@alice

@EricLawton @alice hi Eric, a polyp or three removed for pathology, fever spiked, and very tired from Lidocaine spray for my throat, and Propofol & Ketamine anesthetic.

@B_Bird

I had no polyps this time, all removed on previous โ€™scopes, biopsies OK. I hope yours are the same.

FWIW, it only took me a day to recover, on all 6 occasions (first with no sedation. Not so much painful as very weird feelings, and I was able to watch the whole thing (colon only)).

@alice

@EricLawton
"first with no sedation"
Mine was supposed to be 'Twilight' sedation, but I think it is easier for the theater team if the patient is out cold.
@EricLawton
Iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia (IRIDA) genetic form of anemia?

@B_Bird

Not genetic, though cause still unknown.

@B_Bird
ah the ole DP. Hope you recover soon <3

@alice

@alice
Thank You Everybody !!

Your warm hugs & kind wishes
you made me feel much better,
huggle snuggles back to You All !!

@alice Not really doing ok. Could really use a hug. Sometimes you have to sit through the shit until it might get better.

@alice

@alice on the hand, one can always use a hug.

but personally, things are going quite nice, we had a recording session yesterday which I was very anxious about, but in the end we nailed the two songs we wanted to record and even got some nice takes for the optional third one :)

having said that, dear reader and alice in particular, feel yourself hugged by some random dude from Germany! You are awesome! ๐ŸคŒ

@alice
Best way to get a hug is to give one. Also, yes.
@alice I am doing nice to be honest

@alice
Why, why did humanity let such a tiny group of people at the top architect systems this way to let so many people suffer?

*sob*

Ya, I need a hug, don't we all need a hug.

๐Ÿซ‚

@alice Thank you and hugs back at you ๐Ÿค—
@alice
Hugs can't be overdone.
๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿซ‚
@alice
Sigh. Hugs all around...

@alice thank you

 if wanted back

@alice exhausted, even as today has been better than most over the past 3 months. Hugs definitely welcome & needed.

*Among my goals by the end of this coming May is to get enough tech updates done to get back my ability to use emoticons on the fediverse.

@alice better now but a hug wouldn't go astray ๐Ÿฅฒ๐Ÿซ‚
@alice woke up from 2 nightmares so yeah kinda
@alice hell yes, and one in return (of course) and another to pass it forward to spread the vibe
