The last time they bit me was when I had my plastic boot on and decided to sit outside at night just to get out of the house. That could have been ants though.

Most times it occurs is at night after rain. Its raining tonday so I leave it closed. Autumn might be showing up early as going down to 6c tomorrow morning. That will be nice. Ever since getting insulation my room just too hot. Most days.

Spider through the window?? I take it these windows don't have screens over them?

The screens need repairing. I asked about getting them fixed and I get stuck in a loop when I mention them to mum. She says Brother will help repair them, and my answer is... he is always either really busy or on holidays, there is no time for him to do it. We have the wire somewhere.

This been a situation for a few years... I am not a home handyman.

I was talking to a friend once who said the trick to not getting bitten by mosquitos is avoiding sweets, fruits and carbs until your blood doesn't smell sweet to them. That's the main thing that attracts them to you. Of course the problem is that's hard enough to do just in preparation for a two week camping trip or something, but if where you live has them on a daily basis in the warm weather, it's another thing entirely.

Other things that can keep them away though is trying to eliminate any standing water near your home, puddles, small wading pools, etc. I don't think chlorinated pools count as I'm pretty sure they can't breed in that due to the chemicals. There's also things you can burn like citronella candles that repel them, and then there's those little devices that attract, then zap them. There's even an electric zapper/swatter thing now.

That reminds me of this video (from 18 years ago):

And now, 18 years later, we're actually getting close to real mosquito killing lasers:

Funny looking back at the RTX 30 series hype too felt like a huge leap at the time, but now it’s just “normal.” Makes me wonder if current-gen GPUs will age the same way or if we’ve kind of hit a slower progress phase.

LOL, what happens when the bug zapper glitches? You pray to God it doesn't hit you instead that's what! 🤣

Do I need this? Absolutely not. Do I desperately desire it? Absolutely yes.

I watched that a few days ago, that would be passed down through generations

Cool artistry

Man, I've become terribly, terribly sentimental, probably due to my health issues and lack of sleep, and have lost control of my emotions when I'm doing that. I had a picture of my mother, who passed years ago, holding Guido when he was either 2 or 3. The picture itself didn't cause me any problems, so I put it in my AI movie generator and just typed "The woman is smiling, the little boy is laughing," and hit "Generate". When the movie was finished, I hit the play button. I lasted for less than 2 seconds before I turned it off. I have several voicemails from my mother on my phone that I never deleted. If I wanted to I could clone her voice and have her talking to Guido, but...that would be very bad for me.

And then this morning I wanted to listen to some music. I remembered that I liked the theme song to Ark Survival Evolved, but I couldn't remember it, so I pulled up the theme song and hit play. I have 655 hours in that game, almost every second of it with Guido. It's some of the most fun I've ever had. When the theme song started, I didn't remember it but when the main part of the song kicked in, my eyes instantly watered up. I've always been a romantic, but I've never been quite this pathetic before, and I don't like it at all. Time to get control of myself.

I don't know who Studio Wildcard uses for its music, but it's as good as it gets.

Did almost all of the oval this afternoon, about 1 kilometre all up. Feet were starting to complain towards the end and the few trees on that side of oval were appreciated for their shade.. I would have done entire oval but a woman was exercising her dogs on one side and I just left them alone.

Feet ache more after I stopped.

I have to deal with wind regardless of which way I go. One way obscures how far I have to walk to do a lap but its on bike track, whereas the other way I can see entire oval but I can stick to the grass which is easier to walk on. Not sure which I prefer...

Was thinking earlier about the first day after I had broken my foot and how hard it was just to get out of the house. It doesn't feel that long ago. I wish I still had to walk around in the pool, that was fun while it lasted.

Still need to try to walk to shops, been sticking to flat surfaces and most of suburb is hilly. Might walk home from there tomorrow and see how I go.
