In case anyone is wondering, I'm not doing great (and that's okay, don't worry). But please go out of your way, tomorrow, to ask someone how they're really doing, and take the time to carefully listen.
You can make the change in someone's life.
#boost appreciated, make the #fediverse aware of this friendly reminder.
For all the newcomers, I do have some other presences on the fediverse.
My alt account about plants and coffee lives over at @martijn@plantsand.coffee , I sparingly post some pics over at @martijn@pixelfed.social where you might spot some of my isopods!
Enjoy your stay, and look around! 🎉
I'm a geeky developer from The Netherlands, residing in the northern part.
My toots are usually about coffee, programming, foss, vegetarian food or mental health issues.
In my spare time I write, and help out at mental support groups.
Some of my time is dedicated to programming or writing music.
I'm multilingual, so say hi in your native language and I might learn something new.

Eyes hurt from the computer screen. So called it quits early. Going to take a quick nap on the couch 😴
Spent my last money on renovating my stairs. Found a company that would be able to remove the 70s carpet and make it easier to clean. Due to my mobility I can't be bothered to clean the stairs every week for half an hour. Having nice wood steps makes it a breeze to clean. I only need to paint the sides myself before they place the steps
Bucky O'Hare that was some crazy good shit that's undervalued.
I had a healthy salad. I can eat much lighter on the new medication. Hopefully it works good so I can stay on this
De kosten voor het water zijn ook niet eerlijk verdeeld. Ik heb mijn waterverbruik weten te halveren, maar van de betaalde 130 euro krijg ik er maar 9 terug 🥺

Ordered a new shirt with a superhero pig on the front, and the following text in dutch on the back: Sometimes you're not the hero of the story, you are the reason a new story starts
Ik heb zojuist een nieuwe blogpost geschreven; Wanneer je geest je gezelschap houdt, maar je toch alleen bent

Tomorrow is laser treatment day. On Friday they told me that my good eye is also deteriorating, and needs monthly injections too. So laser treatment on Monday, and then in a few weeks start the injections.
I'm currently at 31% vision is my bad eye and 68% in my good eye. At this rate there won't be much left. So let's hope the good eye can stay at that percentage.
I've found a friend willing to stay over tonight.
