Behavior is my thing. Metal is my jam. But also kpop. I like brains, and I can’t rule out biting one.
Apnea by Currents. Love the band, have seen them multiple times in person, and have lots of merch. But it’s an extremely detailed song, and it’s very hard to hear, making it my least favorite. They are a phenomenal metalcore band though.
I listen to happy music when I’m sad, and sad music when I’m happy. No idea why, however, my brain just wants it that way.
House with a yard. One of the rooms is a sensory room. Quietly donate to causes of marginalized folks. Continue going to work.
So I passed a board cert last year. I treated studying like a job. Work hours/off hours/break times. Phone was away.
Front pocket if my pants come with any (they often don’t). Cardigan pocket otherwise.
Not really, I stop in and chat a bit on posts I find interesting. On Reddit I doomscrolled.
Do you know what she likes? I think a lot of “cool” ideas are presented here, however, remember she is still 6, and kids that age learn a lot through unstructured play.
Toys that have multiple ways to play with them, such as craft beading kits and doll houses are stimulating to the brain in more ways, and often preferred by children to circuit building kits, for example. The former is well within your price range, if she is crafty.
I get hit and screamed at a lot…just as a part of my job, and it doesn’t seem to phase me other than the mild inconveniences of injury. I’m sure my brain is a bit wonky. I do take summers off, and I get so bored.
Just aches and pains mainly in late thirties. Don’t stay too sick yet.
Found something one of my caseload kiddos lost and they were very happy.
That is really sweet and wholesome.
I play sudoku, get distracted, rewind. Keeps me busy.
Similar educational and economic status and close in age. Essentially, financially independent and intelligent. However, my “single parent” status quite fairly keeps most people away. So I have given up.
Mine is finding a natural pause and kindly “Ah, darn, I have a (thing to do) but it’s been lovely chatting!”
If I didn’t ask to be sent a video, I will almost certainly not watch a video of any length.
Start with the little things you can change. Environmental noise, can you get headphones or earplugs? Social media making you feel down, curate your feed, change sites, or even take a breather. Change up a routine, try a different food, or a hobby. Whatever is in your power, a novel experience might be an idea. Decorate/personalize your space. Add some lights, tapestries, whatever you like. These are some ideas I’ve tried personally and enjoyed a few of.
Someone on Imgur posted a slew of headlines from the Clinton candidacy in 2016. Many of them are eerily similar to the ones that have been dominating msm lately.
Basically, they provide a decent Chromebook. It’s nearly impossible given the actual tasks. So I need to find a better way.
I am going wfh and I have to use their one drive to access client data. They will provide a computer, but versus my home setup it’s simply not worth it. I saw the idea about virtual windows and Linux machine. I’ve never done it but I imagine I can with some trial and error. But I’m wondering if even that is safe.
I just don’t argue with anyone anymore. At all. I say what I have to say once, and if they continue to restate their option at me like a fact I just can’t seem to comprehend the infinite wisdom of…I just waddle away.
