    Things That Are on Your Mind

    When I was out getting lunch today, there was a dad and daughter selling girl scout cookies. I went up to buy a box, and while I did, the dad said he loved my boots. He said they reminded him of Link from Zelda. And of course, I had to show off my Zelda tattoos when he said that. He geeked out...

    Things That Are on Your Mind

    Today I finally sat down and finished peeling off all the pieces on the zonai arm cosplay glove. I thought maybe I could just reapply them in a way that fits my arm shape better, but the glove itself, even after i peeled off the stuff that was constricting it, still doesn't fit very well. It's...

    Saw a road-salting truck in action for the first time today. Those buggers sound like the alien war machines from War of the Worlds, they're so loud.

    Things That Are on Your Mind

    I wish it hadn't taken me this long to realize that I'm an adult with my own money and I can make the decisions to buy what makes me happy and no one gets to tell me I can't. I only really started actually actively acting on my desires this year. For example, buying the knee-high boots. They...

    Even if they don't remember the toy when they get older, it's still good for their development to interact with and play with things. It's the same reason people bring babies on trips; they're not going to remember, but in the moment it's stimulating their development.

    Things That Are on Your Mind

    My grandmother took a spill down the stairs at 5 AM two weeks ago because her dementia makes it hard for her to recognize what time it is and thought it was morning. We just put in a new door to block the way downstairs at night so if she does get up that early again we can hear her messing with...

    Already thinking about my plans for next Halloween. I think that I don't need to buy any more decorations. I'm pretty satisfied with what I have now, especially after going full tilt with a lot of new ones this year. Instead, I'm going to put my money toward new costume pieces. I like what I...

    Turns out we didn't get to go today due to a very frustrating and avoidable snafu with the nurses. That sucks. We're trying to reschedule, but the kids were really upset about it. :(

    I'm excited to go on a field trip with my students tomorrow. It should be a lot of fun. I didn't get to go on any of the trips last year because my one-on-one's behavior made it too unsafe for him to go. But this year, he's mellowing out more, relatively speaking. I think he can handle it this time.

    Whenever people find out that I work with autistic kids, or special education in general, I often get a "wow, you must have the patience of a saint, I could never do that" or something close to it. And I know they mean well by it, but I do think it kind of betrays what they really think about...

    Can't believe October is already half over. I've been celebrating hard, though. I did my yearly watches of Over the Garden Wall and Scary Godmother, I did my decorating, and I went to the Bates Motel on Friday the 13th. I'm having so much fun. This month is pure serotonin. I'm going to an...

    I just ate a peanut butter & jelly burger. I saw it on the menu and thought it was weird, so naturally I had to try it. And I was very pleasantly surprised. It was extremely good, so good I almost wanted to order another, lol. My taste buds were very confused, but happy.

    God, I am so excited for October. My celebrations begin next Saturday when I go looking for some more outdoor decorations, and of course on the 1st when I actually put them up.

    I just discovered that it is significantly harder for me to pour a handful of peanuts into my mouth from my left hand than it is from my right hand. That is so weird. Would my dominant hand being my right really make that much of a difference? Or is it just the orientation of my hands?

    The school year is about to begin... I had a nice enough break, I guess. I went swimming, got my second tattoo, went out to eat a lot, made a lot of progress in TotK and Sunbreak, and I started a new fic. Pretty productive for me.

    3 weeks to go until my second tattoo. I'm really looking forward to becoming symmetrical again. Having one only on one arm just doesn't feel complete. Gotta have something on the other arm in the exact same spot. I got the hylian royal family bird on my right arm so I'm getting the hylian shield...

    Second day in a row of Wild **** happening in my world. Apparently, not long after I'd left for work, a tree fell in our back yard. It came up just short of our house, but the branches fell close enough to shatter the glass on our back door and smush our bar table and grill. Amazingly, other...

    My aunt passed away from cancer this morning. She hung in there for a good few years, but these last few weeks we could tell was it. I'm glad I got to see her in march before she took her turn for the worse. I'm still processing the news, but man. It hurts.

    Had to leave work early today due to some severe abdominal pain. Went to urgent care and they think I have diverticulitis. They prescribed me some antibiotics and hopefully that's all it's going to take. It's possible for this condition to cause a hole in your intestines and require surgery...

    Grandmother's alzheimer's seems to be getting worse ever since she had covid. Her forgetting that she lives here is starting to be a multiple-times-a-day occurrence. Looking at the difference between now and last week before she got sick is oddly staggering. Wouldn't have expected her to be...
