Went out to see my mom today, and we dropped by Michaels to pick up canvases for Artemis paintings, and I got some new paint colors while I was there.
Also got a few of those clear glass ornaments that you can put stuff in yourself to make into something? I'm thinking I might see if I can put some eye feathers from my boys in them (I mean I know I CAN I just don't know how good it will LOOK), with their names written on to remember them. If it works well, I might offer some up for sale, too. Stan's eyes are always so full of love with their little white heart in the middle.
We also ran by jo-ann fabrics and grabbed some Very On Sale fleece ($4.25 for almost 2 yards, which made 6 large square hammocks and 4 corner hammocks and one long, rectangular strip I'll use across the cage), and she sewed me up some quick rat hammocks for the boys. I forgot to grab some kind of ribbon for the core attachments, so I'm gonna drive back tomorrow with a loaf of fresh sourdough to trade for another few minutes with her sewing machine.
WHICH IS ANOTHER COOL THING. I gifted my second sourdough starer to my SIL (@teameagleworks) for new year's, leaving me with just Tex for now (bless, Tex is enough to take care of rn). Who!!! is finally ready!!! to start making actual bread. So tonight I let Sark pick a recipe, and I mixed it up in a double batch so I could have one loaf for him and one for my dad. It didn't take much starter, which was cool. Fingers crossed that it comes out okay tomorrow morning.

Something I haven't seen discussed yet is not only did buck and Tommy kiss, but they JUST kissed. Tommy kissed him once, just communicating that "okay is this what you want us to do?" And then he set up a real romantic date where he's going to pick buck up at 8 and everything.
Buck who has a shit load of trauma from partners wanting him for nothing more than his body. From always having to be the person adding the romance into every relationship to convince people there's more to him then sex.
Baby boy just got asked on a wholesome date and got promised romantic helicopter flying lessons and he won't even have to drive and goddddvdhebusjabsjsjdnxns

A lot of us with ADHD are familiar with the concept of time blindness, but for anyone who isn't: it's a neurological inability to have a consistent sense of the passage of time. If you put me in an empty room, gave me a button and told me to press it when I think it's been 15 minutes, I might press it after..... idk, anywhere between 3 minutes and 2 hours? And if we repeated it the next day the result would probably be wildly different!
But something I've only seen mentioned in one (1) Reddit post, which took some extensive digging to find, is the same effect extending to ALL things measured in numbers. Distance, weight, length, height, amount, space, volume, percentage... For me, small numbers are a bit easier, I could approximate a centimetre probably, but a metre would be much harder and 10 or 100 would likely miss the mark by a lot. Also, anything that can't be easily measured with a ruler or a measuring tape (like weight or volume) is even harder since I don't encounter reference points (like a 1kg hand weight) for those as frequently as I see visual representations of specific lengths.
It's not dyscalculia or anything like that, I'm decent at math (and the OP of the Reddit post was a math major) and I have no other difficulties with numbers, it's just a disconnect in translating real life experiences like sensory input into numbers (and possibly also inconsistent processing of sensory input? Like how the same sound volume is okay one day but hurts my ears the next?), which I think is basically the same thing as what happens with time blindness. For now I've been calling it "measurement blindness" since I've never seen a name for it anywhere, but maybe "quantity blindness" could also work?
I've talked to other people with time blindness to see if they experience this too, but so far none of them have known what I'm talking about. I'd really like to know how many of us are out there and if anyone knows literally anything actually scientific about this very inconvenient phenomenon!
Tl;dr: bc I am wordy:
It's like time blindness but for all things measured in numbers
Not dyscalculia or caused by it
Pretty much never seen it talked about anywhere
Please tell me if it sounds familiar and/or you know something about it, thank
