@maguire I love my Wall of Entropy!

@PaganMother I've had those days with therapy. They usually were good work...but it was a lot. Hoping you get some good relaxation! 💜

Storms moving through have caused some complications with the whole right side of my body. I know why it happens, so I knew to expect it. Still worse than I expected.

Got my #NaNoWriMo word count up to 8,219! My shoulder wants to rest now, though.

@th3j35t3r Thank you for everything you're doing. For making this place. For keeping it going. You've done a lot more these last few days than I would ask of anyone! Please don't forget to make time for taking care of yourself somehow.

@ruffboi I did not know that! I've only ever played enough to use it as endless LEGOs that don't have to be cleaned up afterwards. I build underwater cities and giant Van Gogh paintings, then refuse to give my nephew access to any of it.

@DafSmith_v4 I would love an ongoing thread like this! I've learned a bit of the Welsh folklore through my druid studies, and I'd love a better understanding of the history so I can see how they go together.

@Crazygingerlady My dyscalculia wasn't recognized until I was 17, and it's balanced by hyperlexia. So that was years of, "We know you're more than smart enough! Stop slacking off!" My algebra teacher was the one who said I was definitely trying, and simply not trying wouldn't explain it. He suggested an evaluation for learning disability.

@Qbae It will be alright. Sometimes we have to adjust our understanding of "alright", or it takes longer than we want to get there, but we get there.

Still a little aggravated that the explanations about data analysis usually just come down to "Common sense...but with numbers all over everything!"

My Most Beloved One is, amongst other duties, a data analyst. Theoretically, I love numbers! In practice...I have dyscalculia. I love a lot of what goes on with numbers, but the numbers themselves really complicate it for me.

We've both been surprised to discover over time that I can make divination make more sense for him and he can make data analysis make more sense for me by comparing them to each other.

@singlemaltgirl I do better with reading than listening. I resisted ebooks for a long time because I love the feel of physical books and wanted something away from a screen. Then I realized I wasn't actually reading books anymore. I don't have a book on me when I have time. So I've been reading ebooks the past couple of years.

At least I've trained most of the household to accept that I have to pay for even small things. I can pay a dollar, I can pay a favor...stop telling me, "Just take it."

My niece is spending the week with us. Bless her heart.

I'm standing outside the room she's staying in, waiting to be allowed in. She says, "You're welcome to just come in anytime!"

No, dear girl, I cannot do that. Doesn't do any good to tell me I can "just have" some of your snacks, either.

@Susandoyle I didn't realize how safe I don't feel other places until the anxiety was missing here.
