I won't disclose how long I sat, watching & waiting to capture this video but I am going to tell you, the actual speed of the transformation took 8 minutes. In order to share this with you, I sped up the video 8 times.
I present to you, the transformation of a varied eggfly caterpillar to chrysalis🦋

Where, pray tell, does someone purchase a $10 3D printed tap to pay magic wand? Asking for a friend who really wants one 🤩
my husband is trying to convince me my $10 3D printed tap to pay magic wand wasn’t a super wise purchase

Found another "trigger" sentence 🫣
"Ooh, what are you doing?"
*shudder*
I'm DEEP in thought, trying something new & "strange/ scary" that it took me months to "have a go" and someone swans in & says that... May as well toss everything out & never try again 🥺😭

This weather can go 🤬 itself.
The constant, too bright, turn off the lights- too dark, need the lights, flip flop, every two minutes is too much for my already overwhelmed being 😭

Same! I saw every single "futuristic doom" movie as a caution. A "Don't do this, it's stupidly dangerous" warning movie. Then, I realized that ALL those movies were actually instruction manuals for the oligarchs & we'd been repeatedly warned about what's coming. Why isn't anyone stopping them now?
THIS × 1000!!!
This old GenX has spent the last decade pointing and muttering "What the fuck?!" while wondering why no one learned the lessons of the movies we watched and novels we read.

Turns out I didn't have to worry about the washing drying cause they aren't 'leaving' today 😒
My AuADHD suffers. I can't "do" ANYTHING when there's people sitting, doing nothing.
Today will be torture! My body expects to be 'free' to potter, my brain will see the sitter & totally glitch😔

Using up 16 years worth of partially used school books by making them little notebooks 😁 Say hello to my latest fixation 😝 May this one last for as long as I have materials.

I need to book acomodation. I want to go to the actual place's site & book it through them cause I want to be fair. I really hate that those booking sites give us rooms cheaper than the hotel's asking price. It's almost like I'm getting punished for booking direct. I don't want to use big teeth guy

Some of those CHILDREN were 15 years old. They were children!!!!
The host is just as bad if they insist on calling every girl under 18 years old, a women.

Host: So when Donald Trump walked in, there were women in there who weren't fully clothed.
Hughes: Correct. Women were not fully clothed when Donald Trump came in.
Host: And some of those women were, what, as young as 15?
Hughes: Yeah, as 15 years old.

Morning 🦋
In a complete side quest (to fire up my imagination again) I have started to bind a small book from scratch. So far, the only 'hurdle' is waiting for the glue to dry.
Will probably report on progress later, it if works 🤞
Most of today will be spent hoping the washing will dry for tomorrow😝

I'm not sure how I managed to sleep in till after 8 am, given I have 4 cats who are used to breakfast being served at 6.30 am sharp😶 Judging by Ruby's reaction, I feel I'm going to have to watch my back for a while 😝
