Just got a long text from my mom about how monster cat is - shockingly - being a monster today. There's a reason I call her monster cat, no matter how damned cute she is.

I got the postcard from WA DOL that my driver's license expires in 60 days. I find it interesting that they barely mention Real ID & don't give the fee for that, but they do give the fees for a reg license, the enhanced license, as well as a motorcycle license & a CDL.

That's why I'm focusing on home projects right now. Got some lighting hung & 2 of my 3 IKEA wardrobes installed in my weird converted deck room in my condo. Busy all day, tired enough to crash at night. Plus lots of walking, & I only take my old iPod - just music, no internet access.

All my fosters who were torties definitely were, including the one that required shelter workers to "suit up" to catch her in the free roaming room & get her in a large dog crate. She screamed & howled & bit them, but was (mostly) friendly when I got her home.

Installed & grouted part of the tile floor in my soon-to-be utility room so I can get my IKEA wardrobes put together & installed along the wall for storage. Once I get the boxes out of the way, I can finish the floor. My back is not thrilled with me tonight tho. 🤷♀️

Reminded again & again why I cannot stand @theatlantic.com. Same ones who platformed an unqualified wealthy white economist to dish out her BS opinions on a public health emergency like COVID & downplay the severity & risk.

So they opted to let us into our rooms for 4 hours this morning instead of attending a mtg, but we're on emergency backup power, no internet, only 1 functioning bathroom (no lights), & our rooms are filthy. Then we're headed to another school for our mtg.

Getting the tedious classroom shit done (unpaid) at home. Every piece needs to be labeled so that I don't end up with missing pieces and/or extra pieces.

Yep! I had "Learning Science" as an ed psych class back during my undergrad degree in the 90s, then "learning theory" classes in both my masters & PhD coursework. Even have a couple of my old textbooks.
