Why does sitting on a bus for an hour make me so exhausted? Is it the air? Or would I have been exhausted anyway?

So I found out today that I've only failed one subject in my course, and it was a borderline fail. The uni people have told me that if I pass everything else in the course, they can give me a supplementary exam for that specific subject. All is not lost.

As for trying to decide my path at this stage in my life, I've fallen into a rabbit hole compulsively web searching different careers. Everything from accounting to electrical work. It's time to stop this. The internet won't give me an answer. I have to try out different things to figure it out. I'm going to hold off making any big decisions until the end of this semester.

Street view on Maps potentially? Wouldn't help with knowing what a suburb is like in terms of people but could help with accessibility.

I might not have the best eyesight, but where is number six?

Sounds like your daughter has inherited your wit!

Following the discussion yesterday on gendered toys, I just remembered how I used to play schools. The school had its own name and leadership structure. I had a relative who used to sew toys out of felt and sell them, and so I was given quite a few of those. I managed to make a class full of toys and each of them had an exercise book to do their work in that I would mark. I even did school photos with my shitty tablet at the time. The 'naughty' kids would be sent under my bed for a time out sort of thing.

I agree, the whole concept of girls toys and boys toys is silly to me. I grew up given dolls and "girly" stuff, so the way I've been socialised has made me feel like Hot Wheels, Star Wars, and dinosaurs aren't supposed to be for me.

Also can we talk about double standards? If I don't shave my legs, I'm probably considered gross by men, but they can be hairy all over. I just don't get society sometimes.

I wonder what number one will be.

pet lossMy aunt got Geoffrey the dog and brought him over almost everyday. He is the reason why we got our dog. He would be so excited to see us when got home and run to the door before we got our semi-territorial dog. He got diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma at the beginning of this year. He's only eight. It started with a few purple lumps and the vet removed them thinking everything was fine. But he also had a fuck ton of tumours inside his body. My aunt has been wanting to do everything she can to improve his quality of life, and he's done the maximum amount of the specific chemo that made the past few months a bit better for him. She feels guilty that she couldn't save him. But this cancer doesn't have a known cure.

We think it's his time to go now, and he's not going to make it over the next few days. He's a tiny bit excited to go for walks and play fetch, but he's not eating and is weak.

He loved playing fetch and would always sneak balls in the house. We would roll the ball to him and he'd always roll it back. He was incredibly obedient, to the point where if he heard one of us say sit in a conversation, he would sit. He was an excellent companion to all of us.
