Nice cat photos everyone.
1. Have you ever lived in another country?
No, pretty much stayed in the same county all my life
2. Are you glad it will be Spring soon?
Yes, definitely. Need some brighter weather to help my mood.
3. How are you today?
Not great. Very low, so the day is dragging and feels twice as long as it should be. I applied for a job but haven’t had a response back which is pulling me down. I’m sure I will pull through but it was something I really wanted
4. What's one of the last things you bought?
Show heal protectors! Very exciting. 🙄
5. Not a question so much, this section is just more of an "anything goes" place, just talk about whatever is on your mind (if you want), post a pic of something you like or leave it blank, whatever you feel like
Turns out I am not patient when it comes to finding out if I have any chance of being called to interview after I’ve applied for a job. As each day goes past I am convincing myself that my application has been thrown in the bin. This was like my dream job, once in a life time chance. Now I’m thinking things will never change and I will just have to stay where I am. I don’t know how long is long enough to wait before I can stop torturing myself and try to accept I haven’t got it.

Hey all, happy Wednesday. 
It is indeed Wednesday, my dudes. Hope everyone out there is having as good a day as can be hoped.
Thanks for tagging me into the thread @Walker.
Nope, lived in the UK all my life, and the older i get the more i realise how good that is. The UK is like the embodiment of the concept "Could be better, could be much, much worse."
Honestly, no. Spring has some nice qualities, especially here on a sheep farm where you get a fresh set of lambs, and plenty of rabbits hopping about, but i'm still not a fan. It means everything's going to heat up again, and i can handle the cold fine, but i'm terrible in the heat. Plus it means there's going to be more and more insects around, and the weather's going to be brighter too, which means more migraines. Although it does mean the days are longer, which is good, because i actually feel more comfortable sleeping during the day like the vampire i basically am.
I'm good but tired. I got up early and today's been exhausting, but in a positive, constructive way.
My will to maintain my Ubisoft boycott finally crumbled in the face of a decent sale, so i bought a couple of the Assassins Creed games on Steam.
Today's therapy session was scary but productive. My therapist has very correctly determined that the smiley, jokey face i tend to present to people is very different from the deep well of sadness that lurks beneath, and she said we need to work towards me being more open with my full true self. It was a bit intimidating being really seen like that, but freeing and comforting at the same time.
It is indeed Wednesday, my dudes. Hope everyone out there is having as good a day as can be hoped.Thanks for tagging me into the thread @Walker.

1. Have you ever lived in another country?
No. We were a couple of weeks away from moving to Australia 17 years ago. But I got cold feet and called it off - a decision I've regretted ever since. I have a dream about retiring to Greece but with Brexit that's probably very unlikely now.
2. Are you glad it will be Spring soon?
Yes, I hate winter. I think I'm part lizard - I need to bask in warm sunshine for several hours a day.
3. How are you today?
Meh. Watching non stop news is not good for my head but I can't seem to tear myself away. Plus we had a horrible incident at work this morning which upset me for the rest of the day.
4. What's one of the last things you bought?
New glasses 🤓
post a pic of something you like
This is Shen. He's a snow leopard cub where my daughter works.

2) Not sure how I feel about it, it shows the passage of time on one hand, on the other hand I can go for trips hopefully, enjoy the sunshine/good weather a little bit.
3) Very tired/exhausted.
4) Food : -) tomato sauce
5) 3 things: 1) How do you quote certain parts of somebody else's post? 2) I need to go to bed and @Walker thank you for inviting me. : -) 3) I always find the smiley emojis that are made from : -) here on the platform creepy.

Thank you for the tag @JMG
I have lived in 2 other countries.
Concerned and anxious...I'm still waiting on my car repair to be completed and it's been close to a month.
I could smell Spring subtly in the air today, so wonderful.
I bought 3 books last week and I bought several organic herb seeds today to plant

Not too bad. Had an MRI today, and did fine considering I have anxiety. Hopefully the results will be clear.

Ice cream sandwiches.
