What did you do today?

[neverletmego]

I had to unclog a drain in the kitchen this morning. Grease buildup is no joke, people!

A rather nasty job that isn't it. Little bits of food waste from dinner plates is also a major villain for bunging up sinks. I've got a little filter insert that fits over the plug hole in the kitchen sink and it's amazing how much muck it traps and prevents from clogging the waste pipe.

I put up Halloween decorations and finished decorating the house, then @Zeref got stuck in part of them and pulled half of them down and I had to put them back up again  lol ~ I also made some GFX today for a friend, then sat around the house contemplating life and decided I wasn't going to be miserable over someone anymore and have made a plan to help myself with this. So I feel like this was a really successful and productive day.

There's always that one person that does that isn't there.

That sounds like a good plan.

It looked like Spirit Halloween store exploded in our living room how I was not going to get tangled or trip in these

I went to work, and came home, not much else to say.

Today, mostly studied. These tests are coming up and I'm not looking forward to it. Would like for it all to be over so I can be on Fall break which is coming up here after the midterms  

[Kirika_Madeleine]

For me same as always going to work teaching kids about History and go to grocery for dinner. And tomorrow is my free day so excited tomorrow 

[Animedragon]

Usual Tuesday stuff. Doing the weekly shopping and preparing the recycling boxes for collection tomorrow morning.

[Sakura]

I had 1 class which I went to, studied most of the day.
There was another fire across the street today in an apartment high rise building that looked bad. It was happening just as I was arriving home. I read that 1 person was injured badly and several others were taken to the hospital. I was watching fire crews putting ladders up to the windows and rescuing people, it was really worrying to watch and I was just hoping they were okay.

Ya I don't like it lol ~

I left class earlier today because of a few things that happened. Apparently looking at your phone, immediately starting to have tears run down your face, and running out of class is not something you should do because your friends will think someone has died lol I had no idea my friends had left class looking for me or I wouldn't have worried them like that. I love the fact I have made some friends here though that care enough about me to do that so it kind of made me feel much better, especially after I told them some things that were going on. 

My Dad and sister will be here tomorrow evening and staying for the weekend so I'm also happy about that. I have had a lot of emotions lately and I think seeing my family and just spending time with my sister who is my best friend will be really helpful and help me clear my head about a lot of things.

I hope spending time with family relieves some of your stress:(

 

Today I went to school as usual. In environmental science we used microscopes to look closer at the organisms in our terrariums. The only organisms in my jar were decomposing mushrooms that smelled horrendous. The table group beside mine had a dead ant and a weird centipede thingy. It was cool to go over and look at it, but I was more excited to talk to a new friend who sits there. He has a Power from chainsawman, Tomo from azumanga daioh, and Hatsune Miku pin on his backpack! That's what we talked about during our first conversation anyways. He's very nice so I hope to get closer to him.

Thanks  I think it will, being around them usually helps me and it's been lonely being in a completely different state from them now. 
I hope you get a chance to talk to this new friends lots! ~

Perhaps you make the questions too easy , but on the other hand it will probably boost your student's confidence if they get a pass mark.

 

This morning I embarked on a quest to my local High Street to buy some more of my favourite steak pies as I only had one left, and am pleased to report a successful mission and I was able to get enough to last me three weeks .

[efaardvark]

Today I am pretending it is Saturday since I have to work on Sunday.  (Unless Europa Clipper slips again, in which case I guess I'll have to put today down as a vacation day on my timecard.)  Got my coffee and some toast, some laundry going, and I think I'm going to log in to do a bit of minecrafting later.  I want to play around a bit more with the crafter.

[Zeref]

I went grocery shopping to pick up some food for over the weekend when we have guests, worked most of the rest of the day, and in the evening just now returned from a walk on the river. 

[Sakura]

I only had one class, the rest was spent studying. Exams will be here in just a couple weeks. I talked to someone again today that I had been wanting to talk to, and I feel better now that I have. My dad/sister also arrived this afternoon and tomorrow we are doing out to do some things around town ~! Tonight me & my sister are getting ready to watch some scary movies in a bit and have pizza. 

[efaardvark]

Today I am getting hyped for SpaceX's Starship/booster IFT-5 tomorrow.  Turns out I don't have to work tomorrow* after all so I can relax and watch IFT-5 instead.  One way or another it's guaranteed to be exciting. 

 

*Currently Monday for Europa Clipper.

Had to go see my family today. It’s a bit boring but I played Mario kart with my cousins. 

[Sakura]

My dad & sister are in town so we did several things today. Went out shopping, out to eat lunch, stopped by a place called "The Witches Tree", went on a walking historical/ghost tour that showed a lot of the old houses + told the tales about the hauntings that are supposed to be at them. 

This one place I really wanted to visit is called The Witches Tree. The story behind it is in 1890 there was a group of women known to be witches that would go to an old Maple tree and hold seances and chant and other activities at this tree. The city decided to chop the tree down and the witches told them if you chop down our tree in 11 months we will bring devastation to the city of Louisville. 11 months later Old Louisville had the most devastating tornado that the area had ever seen or has even seen since. It destroyed basically all of the city.

According to legend, during this tornado, a lightning bolt struck the stump of the old tree that had been cut down and a new tree started growing from it, which is the tree that stands there today. People visit now, leave offerings (there are things such as beads or crystals all over the tree), and ask it for good luck. It's supposed to be a very spiritual/connected to nature type of place and it definitely feels a bit strange around it. I left some coins inside the tree as many people do. Taking things from the tree people have left has allegedly brought curses to people who take them. 

Anyway, it was a very neat place to visit and one of the many places with a story around Old Louisville. There are some pictures of it I took today in the spoiler. It definitely looks like one of the creepiest trees I've ever seen.

A day out with the family is always good, especially if they live a long way away. I'm glad you had a good day with them.

You're right, that's one weird and creepy tree.
