Report Cards…
At the end of primary school in the 1900s they gave us IQ tests to place us in highschool classes. Based solely on those results I was placed in the top tier, which probably explains why they take a more holistic approach these days. I of course struggled in these high level classes with concentration,…

So that’s what that feels like…
Today I did a full online grocery shop, for pretty much the first time since the pandemic, when it wasn’t optional. I was able to focus on a task that I found excruciatingly difficult in the past and I actually said “so that’s what that feels like” out loud. The doctor said the medication would…

Absolutely Stunning…
An absolutely stunning lack of awareness has been a reoccurring theme in my life, and not just self-awareness because that is kind of expected.

1666: The Devil is in the Details…
After not seeing a usable set of French doors in months I have found 2 sets in week. The first set are aluminum framed which is probably practical for the exposed side of the cabin where they would fit, and they are slightly narrower so they will fit easily in the gap. The gap in…
