OP, if your mother is still with us, give her a call. Maybe just ask her how her day was. Maybe save your stuff for a call tomorrow.
I'm calling my mom tomorrow. She's like 1% fuddy now and tells the same stories, but she really likes those stories.
That's so sweet. The time we have with our loved ones really is a gift

Iβll often post things that I donβt know where to post on Mastodon.
I don't really go anywhere per-se. I tell my wife, and if it's especially big I'll tell a friend or two.
I talk to my beautiful wife, but she's a neurotypical accounting genius, so I know half the shit I say sounds like a child talking about brontosauruses.
Mom somehow feigns interest and I never fully clue in. Teach a 75 year old woman about kubernetes? Ok. Walk her through upgrading her video card over the phone? Sure! It's only after that I realize she just wants to hear my voice.
Haha I feel that. When I talk to my wife, I often have to preface my ramblings with "I know you don't care about this, but..."
My therapist
To me i'm the keeper of dreams, the warden of secrets etc . etc.etc all in all you can talk to me cause i'm bored.
Sounds like !chat@beehaw.org (hopefully I wrote that tag correctly!) would be a good fit. I hope to read about your experience there! :) It's not a fun feeling, having something happen and wanting to tell people about it but not really having a good person/people to tell.
I go to Belle Isle and release my frustrations at Canada. Helps makes their flowers grow.
Social media
I go out side and rant to the clouds. It helps, trust me!
The nz instance has daily threads where we just chat about life or whatever. Beehaw also has regular threads in their c/chat community.
