  • Pretty much the same for me.

    I experienced a moderate amount of childhood sexual trauma, pretty much everything short of forced penetration, but because I had been environmentally groomed up until the moment I realized that it was what it was, I didn’t think much about it.

    It had been enjoyable and fun and pleasurable.

    I already knew all of these things that I suddenly remembered, but the facts surrounding them, a willing cognizance of the events, had not bubbled up to the surface.

    It was like I opened my eyes, and what I saw horrified me.

    That being said, I am somewhat resilient, even if I am a bit of a coward at times, and like, I think it gave me a much more open mind and a broader perspective on what other people have gone through.

    I’ve always been a bit of a softie, and, like, now I’m just also personally empathetic.



  • They say that immersion is one of the best ways to pick up a new language.

    If it was everywhere all of the time, and you took advantage of things like community language learning events and language learning apps, you could become fluent in a matter of months.

    After all, most people only need like a thousand to two thousand words to get by, So yeah, well, you may not be languidly discussing Proust during a bachanal with your neighbors by the end of the season, you should be able to identify stores and food items and discuss the weather and minor events.














  • Let’s see, internally I have some trim to paint, and I need to install the motion sensor LED lighted stairway paths on the internal and external stairs and install the tops for the steps.

    I might redo the motion sensor under cabinet lighting because the modules that are there are 4,000 Kelvin and I would prefer 3,300 Kelvin.

    After that, I need to clean and organize, I have one countertop to replace, A few doors to shorten to account for the new flooring that I just installed.

    Then it’ll be time to redo the bathrooms.

    They’re just going to get a light update with a new bathtub, new countertop and sink, new vanity, and painted walls.

    Once that’s done, I’ll probably hire somebody to paint the interior.

    Oh yeah, and I need to dig trenches and install the external 12 volt lighting for the driveway.

    Lots to do. I could easily spend the rest of the year just doing all of that, but once it’s done, the only thing left to do would be to like paint or replace internal doors so that they’ll match the new trim and possibly rework the railing on the stairs to make them a little safer, a little more up to date.
