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🦋

That's 7 little books. I think that creative itch is scratched for a while 😊
The new thumb exercises are making it ache so I'm a bit grumpy & 1000x more restless, looking for "things" to do 😒
Obviously not housework though, that's far too mind numbing for the craft seeking brain 🙄😝

I thought, going to browse the leftover valentines chocolates, there'd be some good bargains. Then I saw the Toblerone, 50% off at $10 & left ALL the chocolate in the store. It's beyond a joke. We can't even get a good deal after the date anymore. There's No Way a normal sized toblerone is worth $20

He was amazing! I have new strategies 🥰
What a sorry state where past treatment from other 'professionals' makes someone so skittish it paints everyone with the same brush & almost prevents people from seeking treatment.

Today I get to explain to the nice man, that "looking after" my left hand for 2 weeks has had the undesired side effect of throwing out the entire rest of my body as it took on the load it used to share evenly. I can guarantee he will think I'm crazy & tell me it's just the "adjustment period" 🙄😒

Almost two years after a state government report revealed 35 per cent of all buildings within the Department for Education's portfolio were past their design life, many schools are still plagued with issues including mould, asbestos and rotting windows.

Like, seriously. I have 20 Christopher Pike books, all in, secondhand highschool library condition. I'll send them anywhere, just pay me postage.
The books are going to waste here. All my teens are adults now 🙃

I rescued over 200 books from a high school library which was shutting its doors forever. Have more authors than I've ever heard of & many books I'll never read. All the books are stamped & contact covered. Now I don't know what to do with them.
Who wants a book? For the price of parcel post?

As I scroll past post after post declaring yet another thing "Man" has done & "Man" is trying to silence yet another woman, I can't help but wonder, have men forgotten that without Woman, they would not exist? 🤔
If it were not for the women, men wouldn't exist.😒
Is that why they fear us?

Where, pray tell, does someone purchase a $10 3D printed tap to pay magic wand? Asking for a friend who really wants one 🤩

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 🥺😭

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.

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😔

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
