Apparently you need to scarify sweet pea seeds before you plant them.

In other words, my mother is surprisingly metal.

Okay seriously why is there a Montclair in Oakland right next to Claremont? I'm leaving now.

I don't think my kid's parents realize that in giving me a holiday bonus, they just doubled the combined amount of my checking and saving's accounts.

Trader Joe's not only makes vegan marshmallows, the vegan ones are the only ones they sell.

So tonight I'm enjoying hot cocoa with marshmallows in it for the first time in forever. :3

Every day is the longest I've been single since ~ 2008 and it feels really healthy.

Hi it's me, your friend who brings veggie platters to all gatherings.

Our fridge is starting to look like people live here.

Let's play Stardew Valley!

Time to water the cat!

Gardening advice from your neighborhood Sparrow:

It's easy to keep fake orchids alive. You just gotta dust 'em every so often!

My roommate brought home some shiitake mushroom jerky and it's SO GOOD

The traditional festive holiday orchid.

How's everyone doing today?

It's the last day before holiday break, so most of the kiddos at my school are wearing pjs (pajama day), elf/santa/reindeer hats, or some combination there of. Cozy and fun!

Worst feeling ever= having to ask a dude for help. Amirite guys?

Or even just, like, struggling with something in the proximity of a dude. That desperation as you try to figure something out quickly so he doesn't come over with a smirk and say, "Having trouble, miss?"

Is it weird that I'm really enjoying my required work training?

It feels nice to be a student again for a bit. Also to get plenty of in-field opportunities to use my new skills.

It's really exciting because ABA is an oddly perfect combination of what I learned in psychology & anthropology at Davis. Lots of data collection & scientific inquiry, but on the other hand I'm being paid to be goofy and play with kiddos. It's great!

Learning to delegate, and a related skill, to accept offered help, is a weird and difficult skill for me to acquire. I'm getting there, though.

Made salad, Mac n cheese, and spicy baked zucchini.

Still not super capable of cooking but happy to be making home cooked meals at least once a week!
