 Aranet, the company from which folks are getting the nifty little CO2 monitors, is having another great sale that puts them at $166.83 AND you get a nice little pouch to carry one around (great to check the air quality of stores and restaurants!). If you have the monitor already and want the pouch, it's the Square Bag from TopoDesigns, retails for $19. Okay, blown away. Greg and I just watched a movie on Netflix called Falling for Figaro. It's a romantic comedy and the two main characters don't have a lot of chemistry, but the opera singing is truly beautiful (we actually watched a couple scenes over). The thing that blew me away - actually distracted me so much I even missed a few lines - was that the main character, Millie, is fat, and the portrayal of her is just wildly positive, I can't get over it. Will discuss behind CW ---> We got done with the movie and I'm shrieking about all this and Greg is just laughing. She's apple-shaped! LIKE ME! Usually fat women are only deemed okay if their figure it hourglass shaped. Millie, like myself, is shaped like what I call, "a friendly potato," which I said once when Jupes was commenting on how they inherited their shape from me and they loved it so much we kept it. She's pursued by TWO GUYS! TWO! TWO! Both of them attractive, both of them nice people..... <cont --->

@hollie the online form for Paxlovid: https://paxlovid.iassist.com/attestation Forty seconds of Chloe getting belly scritches from Miles and loving it. Her air biscuits make my heart turn over. Small thing but hey if you hear someone working through simple math out loud, please don't tease them about it unless you truly know it's welcome. Dyscalculia is like dyslexia with numbers, people who struggle with it frequently make simple math errors. These are often reduced if we say the numbers out loud. Cracks about whether someone can calculate a tip or do other everyday math in their head...it can feel very not funny, and increase anxiety (making the calculating harder).

@hollie some people seem to think there’s something obvious about “basic math”; I have no idea why. It’s a symbolic system that we made up, if you had a reason to work on it, you can probably internalize some of the rules but lots of people don’t - and don’t need to - care. |

When I got my first monitor, I was shocked to learn how much CO2 was building up in rooms at home, even with just one person. I started opening windows and watching the numbers go down.
Last night we turned on the AC and closed all the windows, and I woke up at 4am feeling off. The thought that popped into my head was, "the air is bad," and then I thought, "I can't possibly know that," but I got up and checked the monitor: CO2 was way too high. Opened the windows, went back to sleep.
@hollie I don't have the pouch but I took mine to all of my workplaces and we saw what happens when 25 students turn on their 25 laptops, and the projector is on, and the heat too...
Luckily we take breaks, but ideally we should have more than one for the sake of airing out the room.
@hollie "The offer is valid until June 10th or while the product is in stock." I wonder if they're coming out with a new model soon. (I hope they aren't dropping the product; I like mine. Seems pretty popular so I'd be a bit surprised if they just stop selling it.)
