Sep. 23rd, 2021 05:40 pm★ Today at school one of the speech therapists said an "unidentified child" had come to the school and needed specialist testing to determine their ability level. I'm guessing she means a parent who didn't do the proper enrollment process and just showed up at school with their kiddo, but the way she was talking it almost sounded like an unknown child had just wandered in, looking for a classroom...I do hope the kiddo ends up where they need to be. It's possible they'll be in our class tomorrow since we have the best (but still short-handed) staff - student ratio at the moment.
★ Kinktober update: Hit 5000 words which is not exactly a lot for two weeks of writing, BUT considering how the longest thing i've ever written was just shy of 10,000 words and that took, i think, almost a month? It's pretty good for me. I feel decent about hitting my very modest goal of "finish and post something...anything...in the month of October." 😁
And while I won't be able to post something every single day, I think it's possible to have enough to post something each week? Maybe not the first week, but everything after that? I'll have to be more disciplined with the way I use my free time next week, and i don't have much discipline or free time.
★ I played a very charming, in-browser puzzle game, Spell Blocks. It's based on an entry for METEOR's My Famicase art show, where people submit their concepts for Famicom game cases. I have a deep fondness for these kinds of puzzle games, and I enjoyed how tricky it can be to build the 4-block spells. Its become a go-to activity if I'm feeling moody and need to do something fun for a few minutes to mentally reset.
