    This has been a stressful week but I’m feeling grateful. Grateful for you lot, grateful for my work team who didn’t blink when I had a minor panic attack today and thought nothing of my spending the meeting sitting on the floor cuddling the office dog so I could stay grounded and regulated and still participate. And having access to an office dog is 👌 There are still good peeps out there.

    One small thing that makes Libre Calc so much more pleasant than excel is you can highlight a bunch of cells by scrolling. No more dragging the mouse to the bottom of the screen and hoping for the best

      I don’t know what’s more niche - you writing that at 10pm or me seeing it and nodding in agreement at 4am. Open source spreadsheets FTW

        When the boys go to sleep it’s time to work on the online store where I’m free of the tyranny of big software

    Checked the leaves I cleaned and the aphids are right back.

    Damn, to get the ladybird eggs plus shipping is $55 ;-;

    If my pollinator flowers hadn’t been killed they would have attracted them naturally. I think there’s a few stumpy nasturtiums left that might not have the energy to bloom but wherever else I planted just seems to be weeds.

      Aphids are shocking ATM. Anything at all that aphids like is smothered in them. There’s a giant hibiscus near work and it’s covered too.

    Been seeing less moths around, gonna do another vacc this weekend and get some more traps to send even more to sweet moth-abyss.

    One just flew up, lightly bopped my arm and flew away. I feel like a Titan from Attack on Titan; a moth is gonna bite itself and I’m gonna have to do battle with Mothra.

    The crossover we didn’t know we wanted lol

    Today in the junior class I was observing, the teacher handed out connector pens. Some kids started using them as guns and point them at others. Wouldn’t care but they were distracting each other. So I went around the room and collected the pens, and of course offender numero uno said,

    “Whyyyyyyy?! That’s so rude of you!”

    These kids just sit there talking or fidgeting the entire time and then when it comes to doing work, they’re clueless. The teacher didn’t do an awful lot of behaviour management because she didn’t want to take time out of the learning for the kids who actually wanted to be there. She also said having a seating plan makes them antagonise you more sometimes.

    Ring leader of the disruptive kids was pulled out of class by the teacher. Turns out he forgot to take his ADHD meds today. This is the moment I realised why ADHD was most commonly looked at in boys. Girls tend to be less disruptive.

    It’s amazing how quickly a place ceases to be a home, without all the furniture and belongings the old place just looks like empty rooms. Or maybe I just wasn’t attached to it.

      There’s only been one place that I’ve cried rivers moving out of, the rest I’ve just been “thanks, byeee”.

      Is the new place feeling like home?

        and there has only been one place I’ve cried leaving

        cried all the way to the airport, cried all the way in the plane

        still crying

          Aw, Goons sending lots of gentle hugs and tissues Mind if I ask where it was? All good if you don’t wanna say! Mine was an apartment in the city with an amazing view in a lovely building. I hated leaving it and knowing I would never live somewhere like that again.

              Nah, I was in A108. It had some issues (like the creaking), but the view was spectacular, my floor was nice and quiet and the amenities were great until covid closed them.
