A touching day. Transported a man who, for the last 18yrs, has been in institutions, hospitals, & shelters. Today I took him to his apartment.
He cried when he entered.
He had his own bathroom, and a table. But his biggest thrill was an alarm clock."I can set my own bedtime and wake up when I want to."
me: working from home gives me the opportunity to focus on tasks free from the the distractions of a noisy office!

I’M TALKING TO YOU
SALMON
me: cool never mind
Gosh, I'm unwell – for the first time in years, due to a bacterial infection rather than a virus, and wow, I had forgotten just how unwell and sad that can make a person! But there is good: I managed to get an appointment with the doctor (who is running late, but I am safe and warm in the waiting room) and there is hopefully modern medicine to help.
I've taken a half day from work and can take another day tomorrow if I need it.
When I'm feeling better, I have exciting ladybird news to share🐞
Frage an die #FahrradBubble
Hat jemand von euch im Umkreis Nürnberg oder Ansbach einen oder zwei Scheinwerfer mit Halogenlämpchen (wenn ich es richtig sehe heisen die HS3) defekt abzugeben?
Ich hätte da gerade Ideen für ein Optikprojekt wo ich die Lampenfassung brauche
Als Hintergrundinfo, ich möchte keine guten Scheinwerfer zersägen die noch jemand zum Fahrradfahren verwenden kann, sondern solche die sonst weggeworfen worden wären
I'm so thrilled – the moon is very bright tonight and when I let the dogs out, I stepped outside too, just to enjoy the light and what do I see but two dark round shapes high up in the leafless branches of the plum tree! Possums! Squeee!
I quietly told them how happy I was to see them and then ducked back inside to get my phone to see if I could get a picture. It's not a great picture, but you can hopefully make them out
I went to a talk lately that was mostly about something else, but the speaker came out with:
“If you only remember one thing from this talk, remember this. Everyone in this room who likes helping people, raise your hand.”
Every hand, or nearly every hand, went up.
“If you like asking other people for help, keep your hand up.”
Almost every hand went back down.
“As you can see, people like helping you. When you ask for help, you’re making them feel good, even if you don’t like asking.”
I’ve genuinely forgotten the rest of the presentation but I won’t forget that.
One bit of parenting advice I like is to use "and" instead of "but" when your kid has done something well but not quite got it.
Like, "wow! you made yourself cereal for breakfast! And now we just need to clean up this spilled milk!"
This is also worth trying for adults. So why not call your federal politician today and say, "Good work! You put sanctions on the two absolute worst Israeli! And now you need to impose country-wide sanctions and also impose penalties on any Australian who chooses to fight with the Israeli military!"
(Am I a bad anarchist for advocating spending time putting pressure on politicians? I don't know, maybe, but it only takes five minutes and you can find their contact details here: https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/ )
