You're not whiny. Don't denigrate yourself the way boomers bullied you to. Your feelings and concerns obviously do matter.

Maybe later I'll edit the post with a list of things I'm grateful for because there are a lot of them, too

Appreciate you checking in, I actually called out sick today and going to spend the day in the forest to recharge a bit.

I need to be doing that more often. Thanks for the inspiration.

It's a great exercise on mindfulness which is incredibly important at least for my brain. Rather than trying to hike the longest distance sometimes it's better to sit completely still for an extended period of time and allow the birds to get used to your presence. It's quite humbling when the patience pays off.

Hey if you ever end up getting a place that allows cats, please get two. When you are away at work they can socialize with each other. I'm not saying having only one cat is animal abuse or anything, it's just better to have two.
