The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

Have you ever stubbed your toe on furniture so badly you started bleeding profusely? Me neither, but I guess there's a first time for everything. 30 minutes later, I stubbed the same fucking toe again. My 2022 is off to a great start!

Since January 31st 2020 I've been pulled slightly back to the centre.
