Colorful and hopefully optimistic but maybe hateful occasionally

Here’s some more pictures

I’m very thankful I was selected to go on this trip and that my grandparents donated to my cause

The stuffed dog had critical medication :) and it’s made of material that dried even if it gets totally soaked in a severe storm (that was tested on accident — Iceland is dangerous)

Tourists loved the dog

And my cow hat. I am always wearing my cow hat when it’s cold. It has horns

Sorry, I’m just distracting myself from the news. The Human Rights Campaign and Sierra Club etc are sending me texts and it’s stressful

awe. The stuffed one looks alot like Nestle. So cute. What did you go to Iceland for. School?

 

[littleoc]

@LuckiLee yeah! Some students were selected to do research in Iceland for two weeks. It was great!

I totally lied about being able to climb a glacier but it worked out!! I didn’t tell them I had disabilities either, except for the Face blindness so they’d know to not lose me, lol. I didn’t want to be told I couldn’t go! and I’m glad I did that! I highly recommend Iceland to people who enjoy history, hiking, camping, and risk :D There are ways to exploring Iceland without dying, and there are tourists from all over the world. I hung out with some people from Finland in a 4 degree C tub of water! Good times

It’s easy to avoid risk in most places by the way

I studied the tourist’s affect on culture and politics (mostly) — mostly because I didn’t want to bother every Icelandic person I saw. They get outnumbered by tourists since 2012 by like 500 tourists to 1 Icelander, so I felt I should be part of their problem if I could help it

Except Katla, we hit it off instantly and she gave me free food which was much appreciated because it was below freezing, I super owe her one

Ah, good, the Hoarding company texted me back, at TEN PM. How am I supposed to sleep with that on my mind again? Uuuuuuugh

With a wonderfully ominous message, “We can help you” come on man. Not at ten pm. That’s so rude.

I think my sleep person was right, I need to start getting away from my Modern communication device at night, between the news of that shooter and the government and yeah no I’m done talking.

Have a great day and night :) just needed to complain before I tried to sleep. My new sleep mask arrived, weighted for one pound-ish of pressure evenly distributed. Should help me fall asleep pretty quick :)

Fun story:

I’m tired of fruit flies but secretly I find them kind of cute, and I feel like I owe them something for all the experiments done on them

They are very good sports. And I found out they have a funny startle response if you surprise them while they’re resting

 

[littleoc]

Oh, okay, I opened the message. It has more info than “we can help you”
Just thought interested parties should know

Sorry if I caused any distress, I was safe and still am

I'm glad you are feeling better -- but would love for you to take a moment and look back over those last run of posts. On those days that you think you are alone? They will remind you that you really aren't. We cant be there in person to help, but we can be there in spirit :hug:

I need to start getting away from my Modern communication device at night,

Yep my sleep doc said the same - no screen time for 30 minuts before bed. My phone stays in the kitchen on do not disturb -- though I do have a few specific people that doesn't apply to for emergencies

Just thought interested parties should know

Yes!!! What did they say??

 

[littleoc]

To call a person in the company. I have doubts that I can afford it. And a person (the hoarding therapist who forwarded me) wants me go contact a “professional organizer” so I’m confused about how to go forward.

I’m supposed to do a lot of things tomorrow but I will be running on two days without sleep. I’m not even taking the drug that was causing insomnia. I’m so f*cking tired

 

[littleoc]

would love for you to take a moment and look back over those last run of posts

Thank you

Nestle says I was asleep for a few hours and that I should go to another room and not panic

There is currently no other room to go to
