a deer got into the garden today, having scouted out the fence for the lowest point, breaking the plastic deer fencing. we saw the exit break, so we fixed it, then I found the entry point and added more to make it taller.

I'm hoping that that keeps them out, but we'll see what happens. 🙃

one of my biggest OCD things is bats-- specifically the idea of being bitten by a bat or being in the same room as one. horrified.

you know the tw here.

why is it that I only see posts on reddit about bat bites and people dying of rabies at night? there was a post about someone who happened to be outside after dark and felt something on their leg, and the conclusion by the doctors they spoke with was that a mosquito must have been on their leg and the bat went to eat the mosquito but accidentally also got them.

like CAN WE NOT

my biggest thing about moving is that we do not move to a house that has bats in the attic. if it does, we will be having a professional come in to install the one way little door for the attic so the bats leave and cannot come back. (bats are a protected species so this is the only option.)

but so I was outside in the garden watering after 8 pm because that was when I had time and today's our assigned day-- the sweet potatoes need supplemental watering. saw what was either a bat or a bird flying overhead out of the corner of my eye.

they are very cute in videos where they're basically little bebe puppies. such a small percentage actually carry rabies. but I cannot even with them. I cannot deal with that. I spend so much time outside that it has occurred to me to quit gardening entirely in favor of indoor hobbies, but I'm not sure that that's the answer.

it's just all I think about a lot of the time. winter is my favorite here in that regard, because we don't usually see bats during the winter. it's glorious.

strong believer in that my dad needs to be presented with facts about his own life when he's claiming others need to stop doing xyz-- the same things he has done his entire life.

context: he's MAGA, cheated on my mom for 15 years and financially and emotionally/psychologically abused her throughout their entire marriage, and perpetually lies to me about the dumbest, most irrelevant things about his life, as if I don't have reliable sources for my information or the ability to Google things.

be so for real.

For context, the building I work in irl is supposedly haunted; however, it's relatively well known, if you work in it, that it has a black mold problem.

Just before I woke up this morning, I had this dream that I was at work and my newer coworker had left his light on in his office. irl, his hours are different from mine so he leaves earlier, and the same was true within the dream. this office of his in the dream doesn't exist irl, he's in the front office area. however, this office was placed to the right of mine, whereas irl, that would be literally outside.

anyway, I went over to turn off his light and saw him, or what I thought was him, standing static over by a three shelved rolling cart like some teachers use, facing away from me and kind of looking down.

I said his name and started talking to him, he raised his head and turned around slowly, then, in a monotone, started to talk to me. he explained that he was confused when he heard me because he was actually doing something else (he mentioned what, I don't remember what it was) at home, so it was like hearing me through a radio but there was no radio.

that was when I knew we were in trouble. I told my boss we needed to leave-- it was time to leave anyway-- but that that was not our coworker and we needed to go. for some reason, I had the entity that I'd thought was my coworker come too, for safety.

we went over to the door, which is quite large irl and in the dream, went outside of it, and went to lock it. the door wouldn't lock; even worse, the wall its hinges were attached to was missing for about a foot to the right of the hinges.

I fiddled with it and panicked, then saw something smoking behind the door and realized that a machine (looked like a large condenser that sits outside your house for your ac, but it was twice as tall) had started to smoke and was setting on fire. I called for my boss, who was zoning out, and ended up having to scream for his help because it was all getting out of hand-- I couldn't get my key out of the door from trying to lock it.

we ultimately managed to get my key out and decided it was okay to leave the suite unlocked, but what.

I usually have vivid dreams or nightmares but it's been a while since I have. It's just odd that finally I had one about work.

honestly, bless my husband for dealing with me melting down over this vegan restaurant disappointing us yet again and giving us the wrong thing today in the first place that has flavors I do not like and a weird, grainy texture. they give us the wrong thing almost every time or have put something weird in the dish we've ordered that wasn't on the menu. there's now a *savory granola* in the nachos. like......???? get out of here.

why do we keep goinggggggg
