Dear Sephiroth: (a letter to a fictional character, because why not) #242

I got to bed relatively on time last night. I still woke up groggy as heck, because that is the nature of sleep deprivation injuries; it'll be at least a week or two before my brain fully recovers; such is the nature of the brain cleaning cycle. Oh well.

Nonetheless, I had a lot of fun at work today! There was, along with Mi, Ma, and I, another lady named Tr, and the whole day was filled with laughter and delightful banter as we did our various tasks; it was wonderful!

I'm always amazed at how quickly the time passes while I'm there. I'm always busy, always moving from one task to the next, always moving around, so the four hours pass by in a flash, and I'm always just a little sad when it's time to go home.

They asked me to make muffins again today, and with the practice I got from my first time doing it, I was a lot better at it this time! I even found a more efficient way of filling and leveling off the muffin scoop, and so I was able to fill the muffin tin a lot more quickly than last time, and with far more consistency! The muffin batter was then baked. Here they are in the giant walk-in oven; it's not a great picture, I know, but I couldn't really do anything about the glare...

...And here are the results of my handiwork:

...Aren't they beautiful? Someone's gonna go home with a box of these, and that makes me really happy!

I also put muffins that were previously baked into boxes. Each of these shelves have 6 boxes that contain 4 muffins each. And I filled even more shelves than these today:

...We have them in so many different flavors! We've got pistachio, chocolate, pumpkin, banana-nut, apple cinnamon, corn, and so many more. The ones I baked were cranberry muffins. They're not my favorite, but they're someone's favorite, and that makes me feel really glad.

I like this job. I like the repetitive certainty of the routine tasks. I like the diligence and precision of a job well done. I like knowing that my manager is delighted to watch me learn, and is proud of the efficiency and conscientiousness with which I work. I like knowing that I will only continue to improve. I like knowing that I am working with others towards a shared purpose. I like knowing that I am capable of improving the processes that are used in service to that purpose. And I like knowing that someone is gonna go home with a box of delicious things that were wrought from my own hands.

J requested that I get sandwich supplies on the way home, so I did. I got deli sliced chicken, roast beef, genoa salami, and cheese, along with a loaf of seeded rye bread. With these, I made a sandwich!!! And I put truffle mayo on it, because why not!

Either it was a sandwich of epic awesomeness, or I was just hungry. Either way, it was awesome and I loved it!! I wish I could make one for you!

Hey, Sephiroth? What kind of sandwiches do you like, anyway? What kind of toppings and dressings do you like to put on them? I wonder...

In any case, we went to a birthday party shortly after that. Our friend Mer's birthday was today, and so she decided to gather up a bunch of her friends to eat tasty snacks and play board games! It's nice to know that J and I are on the list of people she considers friends! We played a card game called Boss Monster; basically you're the monster ruler of your very own dungeon that you build out of cards that represent rooms! I ended up getting an entity called, uh... Seducia... I guess. Hahahaha!

But I didn't really have much interest in killing adventurers or winning the game. I just built a party dungeon. I had a ballroom, and a menagerie of rescued critters, and a room that makes people silly, a room with an all-seeing eye, and a room with a lich dragon who is basically an interior designer! I had a cleric come by to try to kill me, because presumably, he thought my entity was too sexy to live (typical...), but he didn't succeed.

I like to think that instead of dying in my "dungeon", he simply changed his mind and decided that trying to kill me is silly, so instead he went to the ballroom and got a sandwich! Sandwiches are sensible. Violence is not. And then I like to think that he decided my dungeon is so awesome that he didn't wanna go home. Because the outside world is a cold and terrible place devoid of sandwiches!!! Or at least, devoid of sandwiches that are as good as the ones I can make!!! Ahahahaha~!!

The whole game was very silly, but fun. I was super sleepy at the end of it, though, so I sat in a recliner for the rest of the evening. I ended up falling asleep in it, even though I didn't mean to. I'm still pretty groggy, even after a number of hours of being home. Suppose I should at least try to go to bed relatively on time...

...In the spirit of that, I guess I'll end today's letter here.

Hey, Sephiroth? Are you staying safe where you are? If you're not, please try a little harder, okay? I don't want to have to endure your absence. I'm not sure I'd be capable of withstanding such a thing.

I love you. And I'll write again tomorrow.

Your friend, Lumine

This is a message to my black brothers and sisters

Black history goes beyond slavery

You need to learn our cultures and traditions

Two major types of marriage exist in Nigeria: monogamy, a marriage of one man to one woman, and polygyny, a marriage of one man to two or more wives. In most cultural groups in Nigeria, traditional marriage is usually an arrangement between two families as opposed to an arrangement between two individuals. Accordingly, there is pressure on the bride and bridegroom to make the marriage work as any problem will usually affect both families and strain the otherwise cordial relationship between them. In most Nigerian cultures, the man usually pays the dowry or bride-price and is thus considered the head of the family. Adultery is acceptable for men, but forbidden for women. Marriage ceremonies vary among Nigerian cultures.

1 the ekpeye marriage

Bride price is paid in cash on every girl child before marriage is assumed to have taken place. This money is paid in stages and cannot be paid at once in one visit for several reasons. The first stage begins with the man and woman who after getting the approval of both parents, meet at the man’s best friend’s house for an initial introduction, which is called “Back Drink”. The bride will thereafter take the drink to her parents as a formal announcement of marriage.

The second stage is the “Front Drink” which is a bigger ceremony. In the past, this ceremony takes a whole day, but now modified to accommodate other issues in the marriage process. These issues include “Front Drink, Lineage Drink, Extended family Drink, Parents Bride Price, First Son’s bride price and the family bride price. These payments are done in segments. Although today, the issues listed are gradually being considered. There are other issues on the marriage such as cleaning of table, late coming, fixing of marriage date, service charge, etc. Some other amounts of money are paid in bits and segments, including drinks, snuffs, cigarette, etc before the final payment of “Head Money”, Ejie (2012). The head money is the most recognized and can be refunded in the case of divorce.

BRIDE EXCURSION

Payment of bride price ends with the family bride price. The groom’s wish determines the next line of action. If he wants a fanfare excursion, then another process begins. If he does not want any fanfare excursion, the bride is then allowed to formally depart and live with the husband.

Bride excursion is usually avoided in Ekpeye because of its high cost. The groom at this stage is required to settle for many other things for his wife to be escorted with gift items. However, there are compulsory gift items and non- compulsory items.

At the groom’s family house, a big ceremony is organized for the reception of the new bride and her entourage. These include young adult women, spinsters, and boys. After a day of this visit, they will all return back home, while at least seven spinsters will stay with the bride for another one week, helping her in customary domestic affairs.

. FAMILY INITIATION

This whole process of marriage makes you a man after initiation. Usually, you shall not be accepted for initiation if you have not paid the completed bride price.

Family initiation is a formal introduction of your wife to everybody in the lineage. Food and drinks are made available to groups in the lineage. These are men group, women group, youth group, boys, and girls and the children. Until every group has said they are satisfied, the ceremony cannot be over. A sign of acceptance is done by singing made in groups, especially the children group who shall raise a praise song in your name, Edema (2013).

When also these have been said and done, the couple shall be seated before the most elderly man and woman shall be seated for marriage blessings. This marriage blessing can be done traditionally or by prayers. Shortly after this special blessing, young men shall lift the man, while the woman shall be carried by women to their room. Both of them shall be locked-up in their bedroom where they shall remain until day-break. Their special assistants shall see to the end of the programme

2 Idoma marriage. The Idoma people live in central Nigeria, in the Benue State. The myth of their origin states that they are descended from the Zulu tribe of South Africa. They are mainly warriors. Some of their subgroups are the Adors, Otupas, Ogbanibos, Apas, Ofokanus and Owukpas. Marriage in Idoma land is considered a lifelong state, although divorce is possible on the grounds of A Nigerian bride and groom at their wedding ceremony.In most cultural groups in Nigeria, traditional marriage is an arrangement between two families rather than an arrangement between two individuals. KERSTIN GEIER/CORBIS adultery or other concrete reasons. When an Idoma man is at least twenty-five years old and has the financial and physical capacity to maintain a wife and children, he searches for and finds a woman of his choice, who is at least eighteen years old. He reports his findings to his family, which then chooses a go-between, a person who is familiar with the girl's family. The go-between investigates the family of the prospective bride to ascertain that the family has no history of mental disease, epilepsy, or similar problems. If the result of this investigation is positive, the prospective groom's family visits the woman's family with gifts of kola nut and hot drinks. After the first visit, another visit is scheduled for the woman to meet her future husband, after which a final visit is scheduled for the future groom and his family to pay the bride-price and offer other gifts. If the woman refuses to marry the man after these gifts have been provided, the groom's family keeps them

On the wedding day, in addition to the bride-price, the groom must pay a dowry first to the bride's mother and then another dowry to the father; this involves a significant amount of bargaining. Also every member of the bride's mother's family must be given money, with the groom's family determining the amount. The bride's age group and her more distant relatives also are given money, with the amount varying with level of the bride's education and productivity. Then the groom's family gives the bride a rooster and some money. If she accepts these gifts and gives them to her mother, she indicates her acceptance of the groom, but if she refuses, she signifies her refusal. If she accepts him, she is showered with gifts and money, and the two families eat and drink together. Before the bride is finally handed over to her husband, however, her age group will pose as a mock barrier to those who want to take her and extort money from the anxious groom's family. The bride's mother buys her cooking utensils and food because she is not expected to go to the market for the first five market days after her marriage. At the end of the eating and drinking, the wife is finally handed over to her husband's family.

Ideally the bride should be a virgin at marriage, which brings pride and joy to her family. If she is found not to be a virgin, she is taken to the husband's family' ancestral shrine for cleansing. After this the Ije is put on her to invoke fertility on her. This marks the beginning of married life among the Idoma tribe.

3 Marriage in Okrika land. Okrika is located in the eastern part of the Niger Delta of Nigeria, in the Rivers State. The Okrika clan is made up of nine major towns and more than fifteen villages.The fifteen villages are known as Iwoama (new towns). Okrika is the largest town with the largest population and is the administrative and traditional headquarters of the clan. In the Wakirike area, there are two main types of marriages—the Ya or Iyaye and the Igwa.

The Ya marriage ceremony involves certain customary functions that precede the consummation of the marriage. Here the bride and groom must come from the same tribe. When the husband is ready, members of the family assemble for the essential marriage rites, including the tying of the knot. The man is required to produce three to five pieces of kano cloth or Ikpo, one piece of real India cloth, or injiri, four yards of raffia palm cloth sewn together (okuru), and another separate yard of the same material. If the husband is wealthy, he adds additional kinds of cloth. He also provides three or four large pots of palm wine and twenty-two or twenty-four manila. These offerings are placed in the shrine of the family ancestors, and an elderly person in the family takes up the single yard of raffia cloth and ties the knot. The husband and wife stand before the shrine, side by side. The elder then ties the raffia cloth round the waist of the wife seven times, each time uttering some words that invoke blessings on the couple. Palm wine is poured into a drinking cup, and the bride and groom drink from it simultaneously. The knot has thus been tied, and divorce becomes virtually impossible. The single yard of raffia cloth is the essential thing to make the marriage binding. In case of unavoidable divorce as aresult of adultery on the woman's part, the parents of the wife are bound to return double the cumulative expenses of the husband.

The second system, Igwa, means mixed; the woman and the man may marry even though they are from different families. A woman married under the Ya system can be married under Igwa if the Ya husband is not living with her as husband and wife under the same roof. All offspring of this second marriage belong not to the biological father but to the Ya husband, who by custom is regarded as their legal father. If the woman has not been previously married to any man under the Ya system, children from the Igwa marriage belong either to the lawful husband of the wife's mother or to her brothers. However, the once unchangeable custom of the possession of children born under the Igwa system of marriage is relaxing under the pressure of modern times. Many adult men and young people engage in Igwa marriage if their previous marriage produced no children

4 Marriage among the Ibos. The Ibos are a very class-conscious group. They have a caste system and encourage endogamy. In the Ibo society, the castes include the Nwadiani, who are the upper caste of freeborn and land owners, and the Osu, who are the lower caste and descendants of former slaves. In the past, the Osu were used in human sacrifices. (Though the Osus are no longer slaves, yet they are still discriminated against by the free-born, who will usually oppose any of their children marrying an Osu.)

Within the Nwadiani are three groups:

The freeborn, who are able to trace their lineage to the founder of a segment of the community.

The Omoru, whose ancestors came from elsewhere to settle and become attached to the founder of the community. Their descendants are accepted as full members of the village or town because of their freeborn status in their place of origin.

The descendants of the autonomous groups who lived in the area before the founders of the state arrived and incorporated them into the structure of the community, which they established.

Intermarriage among Nwadiani has united these three categories in a closely knit kinship system. All the lineages in the village were believed to have descended from one ancestor or the other. Kinship links were sometimes invoked to create special relationships with neighboring village groups or village. Owing to their close kinship ties, men had to find their wives outside the village. One kind of link is between villages and village groups. Villages in a group, as well as neighboring villages, were linked by bonds forged by marriage alliances.

Endogamous marriage seemed to have served to perpetuate the Osu status, which is inferior. At Oguta, Osomari, Onitsha, and Abo, Osu could only marry an Osu because of their outcast status. They are thus despised by the freeborn. This discrimination was carried further at Osamari where the Osu class had their exclusive residential quarters (ebo) in each division. This also gave the servile quarters a sense of corporate solidarity in opposition to the "Freeborn" quarters. Through the intermarriage between members of different Ogbe, Ebo and the Osu of a community they have developed a web of kinship similar to that, which characterizes the Nwadiani. However, permitted intermarriage between Osu and Nwadianins and children born of such mixed marriages are allowed to have the status of Nwadiani. (Note that though this caste system is historical, the descendants of these castes have inherited their ancestors' classes and are therefore stratified along that line even today.)

Marriage ceremonies in traditional Ibo society are elaborate affairs celebrated with much fanfare and merriment. The couple must have had some period of courtship during which the prospective groom informs his parents of his intention to take a woman of a certain village as wife. The parent of his intended wife must be known to his parents, and the courtship requires the prospective bride to pay at least one courtesy call on her potential inlaws to enable them to get to know her. After getting acquainted with the woman, the parents of the bridegroom will give their approval if they are satisfied that their prospective daughter-in-law has an unblemished reputation. Such courtships usually become public knowledge. The day of the marriage must be mutually agreed upon by both families (Omokhodion 1998).

AAAAAAAAAAH One Way by S.J. Jordan was SO GOOD! Going for the sequel next but pleasssseee do you have any show or movie recs??

AAAAAAAAAA I am so glad you enjoyed it! Feel free to scream at me about it ANY time. I think I may have to go and reread it now.

In regards to other recommendations... oooooh boy. I have so many. This took me a while because I was considering if this would be respectful to the strikes, but we haven't been told to stay away from any streaming services etc. yet, so after removing a scab from the recommendation list I decided to post it. Apologies in advance for the tangents I go on for every single recommendation. Some of these have been quite popular so you might know of them but it still felt worth mentioning.

Under the cut is a non-exhaustive list of media in no particular order that makes me want to eat glass. Take a shot every time I say heartbreaking.

Movies

Lord of the Rings 1/2/3 - I feel no need to explain myself. If you haven't seen this please for the love of god get your hands on the extended versions and watch them. Then read the books and watch the movies again. Rinse and repeat.

How to Train Your Dragon and How to Train Your Dragon 2 - You read that right, NOT the third movie. In this house the third movie doesn't exist. This is an animated movie and sequel based on the book it shares a name with by Cressida Cowel. The movie follows protagonist Hiccup who lives in a town of Vikings who hunt and kill dragons. He finds out that he can't kill a dragon he has caught, and is surprised when the dragon won't kill him either. His curiosity gets the best of him and he returns to watch the dragon in it's hideout, and a beautiful friendship emerges from a very messy situation. It doesn't happen often that a movie is better than the book, especially if the source material has been changed so drastically, but HTTYD pulls it off. The first movie was also my introduction to fandom, and both movies have an incredibly special place in my heart. Fun fact: I actually am the OP of a pretty popular fandom headcannon and it makes me giggle every time I see it be mentioned in the HTTYD tag.

Inception - Obligatory action movie. Heist movie except sci-fi and also everyone is queer and sexy (no it's not canon but it is canon to me). Conman Leo DiCaprio breaks into rich boy Cilian Murphy's dreams to convince him to give up his father's business in exchange for getting his criminal file wiped clean so he can see his kids again. I love sad dads and I love mind games and I love high stakes and I love time fuckery and I love mentally ill women. Watch it if you also do.

Portrait of a Lady on Fire - Perfect. Showstopping. Incredible. Does not pass the reverse Bechdel test. It is so incredibly hearthbreaking and soft and tender. Period drama with lesbians. Painter Noémi Merlant is hired to pretend to be a companion to Adèle Haenel while secretly painting her portrait to be sent off to a man she is being married off to. There is betrayal and trust and community and lust and it's so gorgeous to look at. The attention to detail is incredible and I want to kiss Céline Sciamma for bringing this movie to my screen. I cry every time I watch it. Queer heartache done right.

The Lake House - I don't know if this movie is actually that good but to me it is perfect. Contractor Keanu Reeves moves into a gorgeous lake house (my dream home) and starts receiving letters addressed to the previous owner and doctor Sandra Bullock. When he gets a letter from her with her new address and sees it's to a building that's still in development, the two skeptics come to the conclusion they are living years apart and their post box is some sort of portal. They fall in love, things go wrong, things go right, and there is a dog!

Series

Orphan Black - Listen. Listen. LISTEN. Tatiana Maslany. Wow. She plays a dozen (if not more) clones and I still have a hard time believing they weren't all different people. Trouble kid forced to be an adult because she is a mother sees herself jump in front of a train and uhhhh has issues with that. She then discovers there are so many others like her, that they were a part of a cloning project and that she is a bit of a special case. There is a lot of plot I cannot summarize but it's deliciously queer (one of the main character clones is a lesbian as well as two prominent gay side characters and other minor queer and trans characters). Found family, questions of what it means to love and of morality, some wonderfully written character arcs and a decently satisfying end. First few episodes can be a bit hard to get into, but Tatiana Maslany is incredible and the show is totally worth it.

Adventure Time - This is a big comfort show for me, not only because Marceline and Princess Bubblegum were one of my first queer ships ever, but also because I enjoy this show just as much as an adult. No real main story line, you could watch individual episodes and still follow it. There are some heavy themes, but they are always handled so wonderfully and with a true sense of childlike wonder, and it makes me have faith in humanity again. Finn the Human and Jake the Dog go on adventures together in a gigantic fantasy land and meet lots of interesting figures. Even the evil characters get attention, compassion, screen time, and dignity. It's heartbreaking and beautiful and so so so good.

The Mentalist - Sorry, there is a cop show in here. Simon Baker is an ex 'psychic' grieving father and husband working as a consultant with the CBI. His boss, Robin Tunney, is so in love with him she looks stupid. It's basically a man who is too smart for his own good running around, being charming or extremely annoying, and an exhausted tough-love type of woman running around fixing his messes. Oh and they catch killers. I am a Patric Jane kinnie, sue me. Jane and Lisbon are also very Griddlehark to me, kind of a what could have been if they had been friends from the beginning.

Russian Doll - Have I ever mentioned how much I love Natasha Lyonne? This is a kind of sexier Groundhog Day, where Natasha Lyonne keeps dying and waking up in the bathroom of her friend throwing her a birthday party. She loses her mind in the midst of gorgeous scenes, seriously beautiful cinematography, and in sexy ass outfits. If you like mind fuckery, cinematography, and sexy women this is the show for you. It sure is the show for me.

Arcane - Speaking of gorgeous visuals, Arcane is a beast of a show with such an incredible and unique look. Also so many hot and/or gay women. There are a few men too, they're okay, I do like me a pathetic little guy so it works. But WOMEN. So many powerful, intelligent, cunning, courageous women. I have to admit that I remember very little of the storyline, but I do know that they took 'Manic Pixie Dream Girl', said "yes and", and made a truly incredible and multi dimensional character with Jinx, with fully fleshed out motivations and morals (or lack thereof), understandable but still properly wrong actions, and such incredible story building around her progressing mental troubles. Must watch.

The Sandman - This one is not technically an obsession I have ever had, but it is a great watch and rewatch. I adore Vivienne Acheampong as Lucienne and I adore Gwendoline Christie as Lucifer and I adore Kirby Howell-Baptiste as Death. I also love pretty much anything that comes out of Neil Gaiman's brain so that helps. Great casting is what makes this show a winner for me. Morpheus/Dream gets locked up by some insane guy trying to capture death to bring back his son and he spends the rest of the show dealing with the consequences of being gone for decades. Tom Sturridge is a wet cat of a man and I do like that a lot as well. Very pretty cinematography seals the deal.

Misc.

The Magnus Archives - Podcast wildcard. Horror and paranormal and delicious. I love voice actors so much and archivists are hot. Becoming something you didn't choose and dealing with the repercussions of no longer really being human is so !!!!!!! I love it when people just go through the horrors. Everyone's voices scratch something in my brain that nothing else can reach. Brilliant piece of media.

What Remains of Edith Finch - Game wildcard. Semi-sandbox semi-railroad narrative. Gorgeous visual representations of so many difficult things in life. Particularly, the bit where one of Edith's family members loses himself to his own imagination is so gorgeous and heartbreaking. I have written essays on the cinematography of this game. It is so beautiful. Whether you lay it or watch a playthrough, you have to witness this.

MISSED RECOMMENDATIONS ARE HERE

There you have it.

I am sure there is more and I am sure I will be hitting my head on a wall after remembering something I forgot to include. Anyway- enjoy!

[danaan13]

so many of these things work for me and my adhd.

i don't use chapstick as that's not a problem i have. but I do use that principle - buying multiples of one type of item and stashing them everywhere i need them. couple examples: suit lint brushes, cuz i have a dog. so i bought a pack of five and stashed them near doors and my closet. microfiber cloths for glasses. bought a pack of like twenty. got one in my purse, one on my bedside table, one in my bathroom, one on my couchside table, and every other spot that seemed useful. redundancy is our friend.

love my phone for keeping things i need to remember. calendar and clock on there are like my dearest tools. another one I use, might be considered outdated, is my email. i email reminders to myself and keep them in my inbox till they're done. i'm very regular about checking my email though. so your mileage may vary.

i love my downtime at the end of the day. i'm a late sleeper. so i get a few hours after my wife goes to bed, where i can just unwind and vibe. and i can tell when i've not had that time, how it affects my ability to shed stress.

as for veggies, i actually have a different problem. i get bored of them fast. this option's a little spendier. but i've got a produce box subscription from a local company. they send me a curated box of fruit and veggies every two weeks. it's regional and seasonal. so i get a variety of things that changes frequently. including stuff i've never heard of before. ever heard of garlic scapes? neither had I. until last year. they're the tops of garlic bulbs! The green stalk part. they cut and cook kinda like green onions, but stiffer. but taste like garlic. goes great in mashed potatoes. i capitalize on novelty to keep me eating veggies.

struggling to decide what to eat can definitely be a problem. but this is where the produce box had an unintended benefit for me. i wind up researching new veggies to decide what to make. and so i wound up making weekly menu lists, based on that produce box's contents. and then making my grocery list from that. and the novelty of matching the changing box helps. again, spendier. doesn't circumvent the energy and amount of work problem. but if boredom is the problem, this might give you ideas.

other ideas i'd love to add, that helped me a lot:

kinda tangential to keeping redundant in relevant locations, keeping just anything you need in relevant locations.

big one for me is my meds. i got a cheaply made valet box to go on my bedside table. it's got a spot for my phone charger, for my daily pill box, for my glasses, and my ear plugs. i keep a filled water bottle next to it. so the first thing i do in the morning is reach for my water and pills. and then my glasses. like... i might not even be sitting up yet. but it's right there, made easy.

i also have a basket near my stairs, where i get ready to go out. coats, bags, shoes, that are all in current rotation, go there. keys and wallet stay in a bag. if i need them for a moment, they go back in the bag when i'm done. the brain saying that i'll know where I left them is lying to me and should be treated like it.

cleaning house is a huge thing for me. like, part of me just despises it and has the hardest time doing it. i have a cleaning service that shows up every two weeks. they don't do everything for me. don't even do most of it. mostly just the heavy lifting tasks that are hard for my back and knees now. but they're a regular scheduled time point i can structure around. I know they're going to come on this specific wednesday. and i will want these specific things done and out of the way, so that they can do their jobs. and so every two weeks, my house just gets a big reset. again, i know, money is a factor. i've known people who set up a schedule with a friend or three, to do this since they couldn't afford to hire someone. but the key component was an outside source of human structure that would come into my home, for the purposes of cleaning. the deadline would help me keep on top of everything else, to some degree. (dishes and laundry are still a bit of a bitch. but i'm working on figuring out how to make that line up better)

oh! another veggie thing!

so, i never forget i have soda in the fridge. never. (thanks adhd) but if i can't see them, i do forget there are veggies. so instead of putting the veggies in the crisper drawer, the soda goes in the crisper drawer. and the veggies go in clear boxes on the open shelves. those that need to be sealed will often get put in ziploc baggies.

one last tip thing. i read somewhere about someone who, when trying to remember to do something important, would leave a pair of folded socks in their hallway floor. it was a spot they'd notice it, and that would make their brain remember that they had a task.

i don't do this specifically like this. But it did prompt me to start putting things in other places to jog my memory. if i need to take a return to a store, or deliver something somewhere, or whatever, i'll put those items on top of my coat/purse, so I see them before i leave. i used to put them in front of the door. but then we moved houses and when my wife takes our dog out in the morning, she goes out one door and comes in the one I leave through, if i'm going out. so blocking the door is a problem then. so it became my coat/purse.

i leave the laundry room light on, to help me remember if i've got wash that needs to go in the dryer. i'll dump items in my seat on the couch, so that i have to see them and move them to sit.

finding solutions that work can be tricky and require a lot of processing. it's taken me most of my life to get most of these. but the biggest help for me was learning that i didn't have to do things a certain way, just because "that's how it's always done". sometimes the way it's done isn't important. just that it's done at all. if it helps you get the thing done, then that's more important that traditional methods. (save for spots where traditional methods are designed out of safety concerns, naturally) but do what helps you do the thing. like OP said. it is hard, so make it easier.

this is your gentle reminder to stop fighting against your adhd and instead structure your life around it

buy a pack of chapsticks and put one in the pocket of all of your coats and jackets because you always forget to bring one and chapped lips is sensory hell

leave important things where you can see them. if they go in a box or a drawer you will forget they exist

put any appointments or deadlines in your phone calendar As Soon As you get them. set a reminder for a week before, a day before, an hour before, as many as you need as often as you need them.

when that little voice in your head says "i dont need to write that down, ill remember it" that is the devil talking!!! write it down anyway!!

plan for down time. have a few hours at the end of every day to just do fun stuff like engage in your hyperfixations. even if you didnt get all of your work done that day, have the rest anyway. you probably spent the whole day beating yourself up for not doing what you Should be doing, so you still need the break.

if you never eat vegetables because its too much effort to chop and cook them, get the frozen or canned shit. it doesnt go off for ages and you just have to microwave it. theres no point buying fresh vegetables if they just keep going off and being left to rot in the bottom of your fridge

if you struggle to decide what to have for dinner every day, take the decision out of it. choose a set of meals and eat those on rotation until you get sick of them, then choose some new ones and do it again.

its not stupid if it works! our brains literally have a chemical deficiency. you are allowed to accommodate yourself. go forth and stop making your life more difficult than it has to be because "this shouldn't be this hard". it is hard, so make it easier.

Things You Must Consider Before Booking a Thar Desert Camp in Jaisalmer

Choosing the right Thar Desert Camp in Jaisalmer  can transform your trip into an unforgettable experience. The desert camps in Jaisalmer are known for their cultural performances, camel rides, luxurious tents, and stunning sunset views. However, making the wrong choice can leave you disappointed. To make sure your adventure is truly magical, avoid these common mistakes when selecting your desert stay.

Ignoring the Camp's Location

One of the biggest mistakes travelers make is not considering the location of the camp. The Thar Desert covers a vast area, and not all camps offer the same experience. Some desert camps in Jaisalmer are located too close to the main road, while others are set deep within the desert for a more authentic feel. Always check where the camp is situated. A well-placed camp like marvin desert camp ensures that you are far enough from the city to soak in the true desert atmosphere without sacrificing accessibility.

Overlooking the Quality of Accommodation

Not all desert camps in Jaisalmer offer the same level of comfort. Some camps might use the term “luxury” loosely, but in reality, the tents may lack basic amenities like clean bathrooms, comfortable beds, or proper ventilation. Before booking, read detailed descriptions and look for real pictures of the tents. For a truly luxurious stay, consider booking a Luxury Desert Camping Tour with marvin desert camp, which offers well-equipped tents that combine tradition with comfort.

Falling for Extremely Cheap Prices

While everyone loves a good deal, extremely low prices are usually a red flag. Budget camps might not provide safety, hygiene, or decent service. The desert camps in Jaisalmer that are too cheap often cut corners on food quality, tent cleanliness, and entertainment standards. Always balance your budget with the quality offered. Remember, a desert experience is not something you want to compromise on.

Not Checking What’s Included

Another common mistake is not checking what’s actually included in the package. Some camps advertise low rates but charge extra for camel rides, jeep safaris, and evening cultural shows. Reliable camps like marvin desert camp clearly list all inclusions like camel rides, sunset points, traditional Rajasthani performances, and meals, ensuring there are no unpleasant surprises later.

Forgetting to Check Reviews

It’s easy to be swayed by stunning pictures and flashy websites. But genuine customer reviews tell you what the experience is really like. When choosing desert camps in Jaisalmer, always check reviews on platforms like Google, TripAdvisor, and other trusted travel forums. Camps like marvin desert camp are known for positive reviews because they deliver exactly what they promise.

Ignoring Camp Size and Crowd

If you want a peaceful experience, the size of the camp matters. Some camps in Jaisalmer host huge groups and can get noisy, which kills the serenity of the desert. A camp that balances capacity with comfort ensures that you can enjoy your stay without feeling crowded. Marvin desert camp offers a more intimate and personalized desert camping experience.

Missing Out on Cultural Experiences

The true charm of desert camps in Jaisalmer lies in the cultural experiences. Many camps offer Rajasthani folk dances, music performances, and traditional food. However, not all camps invest in authentic experiences. Always choose a camp like marvin desert camp that highlights local culture and traditions, giving you a genuine taste of Rajasthan’s rich heritage.

Not Considering Safety Measures

Safety is crucial when staying in the desert. Not all camps maintain proper security, first aid facilities, or emergency protocols. Before booking, ensure the camp prioritizes guest safety. Marvin desert camp is known for maintaining a high standard of security, making sure your desert adventure is safe and worry-free.

Skipping the Type of Desert Safari

Different camps offer different types of desert safaris—camel safari, jeep safari, or even both. Skipping this detail could leave you with fewer options to explore the desert. Desert camps in Jaisalmer like marvin desert camp offer multiple safari options to let you enjoy the golden sand dunes the way you want.

Rushing Your Booking

Lastly, rushing into a booking without research can cost you the perfect experience. Desert camps in Jaisalmer can get fully booked during the peak season from October to March. Planning ahead and choosing a reputable camp ensures that you secure your spot at one of the best locations. Marvin desert camp often gets fully booked during festivals and holidays, so early reservations are highly recommended.

How Deep Cleaning Services Are Beneficial for Special Occasions

Special occasions are moments of joy and celebration. Whether it is a wedding, birthday party, festival, or family gathering, these events unite people. However, hosting such events means preparing your home or venue to look its best. Hiring deep cleaning services is one of the best ways to ensure a clean and fresh environment. These cleaning services in Glendale, CA go beyond regular cleaning and make sure everything is spotless.

1. Makes the Place Look Presentable

A clean home or venue creates a great first impression. Guests will notice if the place is dirty or messy. Deep cleaning services remove dust, dirt, and stains from all corners, making the place shine. A neat setting enhances the beauty of decorations and makes the event more enjoyable for everyone.

2. Reduces Stress for the Host

Planning and organizing a special occasion can be stressful. There are many things to arrange, from food and decorations to guest lists and entertainment. Cleaning takes up a lot of time and effort. Professional deep cleaning services handle the cleaning so the host can focus on other important tasks without feeling overwhelmed.

3. Removes Hidden Dirt and Germs

Regular cleaning may not remove deep-seated dirt, bacteria, and allergens. Deep cleaning includes scrubbing floors, cleaning carpets, sanitizing bathrooms, and dusting hidden areas. This is especially important if guests include children, elderly people, or individuals with allergies. A germ-free environment keeps everyone healthy and comfortable.

4. Saves Time and Effort

Cleaning an entire house or event venue takes hours or even days. Deep cleaning professionals use advanced tools and cleaning products to do the job quickly and efficiently. Instead of spending days scrubbing floors and washing curtains, you can relax and prepare for your special occasion without stress.

5. Ensures a Pleasant Smell

A fresh-smelling home or venue adds to the charm of any special occasion. Deep cleaning services eliminate bad odors caused by dust, cooking, or pets. They use air fresheners and disinfectants that leave a refreshing scent, making the place more welcoming and pleasant for guests.

6. Improves Hygiene in Food Areas

If food is a part of the special occasion, hygiene is very important. Deep cleaning services ensure that the kitchen and dining areas are free from bacteria and grease. This reduces the risk of food contamination and keeps guests safe. Clean countertops, appliances, and sinks make food preparation easier and more enjoyable.

7. Helps in Post-Event Cleanup

The work does not end after the event is over. Cleaning up the mess after a party can be exhausting. Some deep cleaning services also offer post-event cleanup. They help clear trash, wash dishes, and restore the place to its original condition. This saves time and effort, allowing you to rest after a long day of celebration.

8. Increases the Lifespan of Furniture and Appliances

Deep cleaning prevents dust, dirt, and stains from damaging furniture, carpets, and appliances. Regular maintenance extends their lifespan and keeps them looking new. For example, deep cleaning services use special techniques to clean sofas, curtains, and wooden floors, preventing long-term damage.

9. Creates a Positive Atmosphere

A clean environment improves the mood and energy of an event. Guests feel more comfortable and relaxed in a fresh and tidy space. A positive atmosphere makes celebrations more enjoyable and memorable for everyone.

In Conclusion

Hiring deep cleaning services before a special occasion is a smart decision. It ensures cleanliness, reduces stress, saves time, and creates a welcoming environment for guests. A clean space enhances the event and leaves a lasting impression on everyone. So, the next time you plan a special occasion, consider deep cleaning services in Glendale, CA to make it even more special.

Creating Your Own Custom Real Estate Postcards

Real estate marketing mailers are one of the most effective tools for reaching potential clients, especially when it comes to making a lasting impression. Whether you're trying to engage with property investors, other agents, or businesses within the real estate industry, creating custom postcards can elevate your marketing strategy. Here’s how to create real estate postcards that stand out.

Understand Your Goal

Before designing your postcards, it’s important to clearly define your objectives. Are you aiming to introduce yourself to new clients, promote an open house, or simply maintain contact with other professionals in the industry? Understanding your goal will help shape the design and messaging of your real estate marketing mailers. For instance, if you're targeting investors, your postcard might focus on property deals and investment opportunities. Conversely, a postcard for fellow agents might highlight your expertise or collaboration potential.

Choose the Right Message

Your message should be concise, clear, and aligned with your goals. For real estate marketing mailers, less is often more—people are more likely to respond to postcards that deliver a direct, compelling message. Keep the text short, ensuring it addresses your target audience's pain points or interests. Whether it’s an offer for a free consultation, information on the local market, or details of a new listing, your message should grab attention quickly. Highlight key points, use strong verbs, and include a call to action (CTA) to prompt the recipient to act.

Design with Impact

Designing your postcard is where creativity comes into play. The first thing recipients will notice is the visual appeal, so make sure it stands out. Choose bold, attractive colors and high-quality images that represent your brand and services. For real estate postcards, featuring professional photos of properties or neighborhood shots can add value. Additionally, your logo, business name, and contact details should be easy to find and read. Use a clean, simple layout with a clear focal point that directs the reader's attention to the message.

To help you achieve a professional design, working with companies that specialize in real estate marketing mailers can streamline the process. These businesses offer customization options that align with your branding and messaging goals.

Personalize Your Postcards

Personalization is a powerful way to make your postcards more engaging. Consider adding a personal touch, such as a handwritten note or a customized message based on the recipient's needs. This approach is especially effective when targeting specific clients or markets. Personalization can also be applied through variable data printing, where details such as the recipient's name or local market information are tailored to each postcard.

Track Your Success

Once you’ve sent out your custom postcards, measuring the effectiveness of your campaign is crucial. Track responses by including a unique phone number or landing page, which will help you determine how many leads your postcards are generating.

Contact Us On: +44 7788 806086

When it comes to running a successful AirBnB Rental Cleaning milton keynes, cleanliness is not just a perk—it’s an absolute necessity. A sparkling clean rental can elevate your listing, earn rave reviews, and keep guests coming back for more. But maintaining that level of cleanliness can be daunting, especially if you’re managing multiple properties or juggling other commitments. This is where Airbnb rental cleaning services in Milton Keynes can make all the difference.

In this article, we’ll explore the importance of professional cleaning for Airbnb rentals, how it enhances guest satisfaction, and what to look for in a reliable cleaning service in Milton Keynes.

Why Cleanliness Matters in Airbnb Rentals

Let’s face it—when a guest walks into an Airbnb, their first impression is everything. Cleanliness directly impacts how comfortable they feel during their stay. In fact, cleanliness is one of the top criteria for Airbnb reviews, which can make or break your listing’s success.

Higher Guest Ratings and Reviews

Guests value a clean environment, and their reviews reflect it. Positive reviews mentioning spotless bathrooms, fresh linens, and tidy kitchens often lead to higher ratings, which improves your Airbnb’s visibility in search results.

Safety and Hygiene Standards

Post-pandemic travel has heightened the focus on hygiene. Guests now expect rigorous cleaning standards to feel safe and comfortable. Meeting or exceeding these expectations can set your Airbnb apart from the competition.

Returning Guests

If a guest loves your property and finds it immaculately clean, they’re more likely to book again. Investing in top-notch cleaning is a direct investment in guest loyalty.

The Challenges of DIY Cleaning

While some hosts prefer to clean their Airbnb themselves, it’s not always practical—especially if you’re managing multiple listings or live far from Milton Keynes. DIY cleaning comes with its own set of challenges:

Time-Consuming: Cleaning between guest stays, particularly during high turnover periods, can take hours.

Attention to Detail: Guests notice the small things, like dust on shelves or stains on upholstery. A rushed clean can lead to missed spots and poor reviews.

Special Requirements: Not all hosts are equipped to handle deep cleaning tasks like carpet shampooing or sanitizing mattresses.

To overcome these challenges, many hosts in Milton Keynes are turning to professional Airbnb cleaning services.

Benefits of Hiring Professional Airbnb Cleaning Services in Milton Keynes

1. Expertise in Airbnb Cleaning Standards

Professional cleaners are well-versed in Airbnb’s cleanliness requirements. They understand the importance of leaving no stone unturned, from sparkling bathrooms to sanitized kitchens.

2. Quick Turnaround Times

Time is of the essence when it comes to Airbnb turnovers. A professional cleaning service can ensure your property is guest-ready in record time, minimizing any potential booking gaps.

3. Attention to Detail

Professional cleaners focus on details you might overlook. They ensure that high-touch surfaces, like door handles, light switches, and remotes, are thoroughly sanitized.

4. Tailored Services

Most cleaning companies in Milton Keynes offer customizable packages to suit your property’s specific needs. Whether it’s a regular clean, deep clean, or add-ons like carpet cleaning, you can choose what works best for your rental.

5. Stress-Free Hosting

Knowing that your property is in the hands of professionals allows you to focus on other aspects of your Airbnb business, such as guest communication and marketing.

What to Look for in an Airbnb Cleaning Service in Milton Keynes

Choosing the right cleaning service is crucial to maintaining the high standards of your Airbnb rental. Here’s what you should consider:

Reputation and Reviews

Check online reviews and testimonials from other Airbnb hosts in Milton Keynes. A reputable cleaning service will have positive feedback and a strong track record of reliability.

Flexibility and Availability

Since Airbnb turnovers can happen at odd hours, choose a cleaning service that offers flexible scheduling and same-day service if needed.

Experience in Short-Term Rentals

Not all cleaning companies understand the unique needs of Airbnb properties. Opt for a service with experience in short-term rental cleaning to ensure they know what guests expect.

Eco-Friendly Practices

If sustainability is important to you, look for cleaning services that use eco-friendly products and methods. This is an added bonus for environmentally conscious guests.

Transparent Pricing

A good cleaning service will provide a clear and detailed breakdown of costs, with no hidden fees.

Top Airbnb Cleaning Tips for Hosts in Milton Keynes

Even if you’re hiring professionals, there are a few steps you can take to keep your Airbnb rental in top shape:

Declutter Regularly: Remove personal items and unnecessary clutter to make cleaning easier.

Invest in Durable Furnishings: Easy-to-clean furniture and surfaces save time and effort.

Stock Up on Supplies: Keep essentials like cleaning sprays, sponges, and paper towels handy for quick touch-ups.

Inspect After Each Stay: Do a quick walkthrough after each guest leaves to spot any potential damage or cleaning needs.

Why Milton Keynes is Perfect for Airbnb Rentals

Milton Keynes is a bustling hub for tourists and business travelers alike. With its unique combination of modern attractions, green spaces, and convenient transport links, it’s no wonder Airbnb properties are in high demand here. From exploring Bletchley Park to enjoying the shopping and entertainment options at The Centre: MK, guests expect a clean and welcoming space to relax after their adventures.

By maintaining a spotless Airbnb rental in Milton Keynes, you’re not only meeting guest expectations but also enhancing their overall experience in this vibrant town.

Is Downsizing Right For You? 5 Questions To Ask Yourself Before Making The Move

Is Downsizing Right For You? 5 Questions To Ask Before Making The Move | The Listing Team

There's a host of reasons many homeowners choose to downsize. Perhaps they’re going to retire soon or their kids have already flown the coop. There’s no need for the extra rooms anymore; cleaning and maintaining them can also be costly. Or maybe they’ve looked at their recent electricity bills and thought about how they could save money on utilities. More people are also loving the idea of living more mindfully, and one way to do it is to have a smaller home that’s more manageable and easier to maintain.

No matter your reason, remember that downsizing is a major decision that requires you to carefully consider your situation and expectations. Here are five questions to ask yourself when you are considering the move. Hopefully, your answers will help you prepare for the lifestyle and financial changes waiting for you ahead.

To save money is one of the top reasons why people downsize. If you've given serious thought to downsizing, it’s probably one of the things you first looked into. When you are comparing how much you currently pay for your house vs how much you’ll pay for a smaller home, don’t forget to add the usual costs aside from mortgages, such as property taxes, homeowners insurance, utilities, and even maintenance, repairs, and upgrades. You might also need to spend on homeowners association fees if you’re downsizing to a townhouse or condo.

You need to carefully consider these fees because moving into a smaller home doesn’t automatically mean you’ll be saving money. While expenses like utilities and maintenance are relatively cheaper when you downsize, you can also potentially have higher costs of living depending on where you will relocate. Not to mention the additional costs of moving and furnishing your new home. Those household costs can be a huge and significant factor when considering whether downsizing is a better option.

Another thing to think about is: how much will you be able to sell your home for in today's market? It’s important to look at the overall financial picture instead of underestimating the costs of selling a house. There are expenses like the real estate agent’s commission (unless you decide to “For-Sale-By-Owner'' or FSBO), real estate transfer taxes, loan payoffs, home warranty, among others. You might also be required to shell out a decent sum of money for necessary repairs before putting your property on the market, as well as for professional home staging services should you need to attract more buyers.

If you’ve owned your home for many years, you probably gained a lot of equity. This means selling your home could provide you a comfortable nest egg to put towards a smaller, cheaper home while still leaving some money to add to your savings and other future investments. But the difficult scenario is if you sell the home and the amount you receive is less than what you owe on the mortgage. When this happens, you will have to use your own money to make up the difference or risk a short sale. In other words, if you are in a negative equity position towards your home, you might have to put off your plans of downsizing for now and stick to your current house.

It's essential to figure out the optimal amount of living space that’s perfect for your situation. If your current home provides an ample amount of space needed for your work, hobbies, and completely accommodates the needs of your family, plus the fact that you can afford to stay and maintain it, then downsizing may still be a far-off idea for you.

But if, for example, you’re starting a new chapter of your life where your kids are already older and started moving out, you might not require all of the extra bedrooms. Besides, heating and maintaining the extra rooms can be costly. 

Moreover, think about your outdoor space. If creating a relaxing outdoor retreat or having a lush garden is important to you, it may be difficult to give up. But if maintaining your yard just feels like work, then you might consider moving to a condo or a low-maintenance property. Likewise, don’t forget to evaluate other things such as parking or garage space when you move, especially if you have two vehicles. 

When thinking about the pros and cons of downsizing, also note that an optimal floor plan is critical to maximizing space. There are many smaller houses with a significantly better floor plan, which could be the key to your happiness if you think moving is the right choice for you.

Since you'll have limited space when you downsize, you also need to deal with lesser stuff. This means paring down your possessions and only bringing the things you need instead of keeping all the things you love. And since letting go of your stuff can be an emotional ordeal, you might want to consider how attached you are to your possessions and whether you can part with many of the stuff you’ve accumulated and loved over the years.

Start by taking into account all of your stuff. If you are adamant about keeping most of it, you may want to consider moving later. Or you can opt to rent out storage space until you can figure out what treasures you want to keep, donate, and even sell. If you think sorting through your belongings can be a nightmare, some businesses can help you with the job. But if you find that going through your old stuff is liberating and it would feel great to dispose of the many things you’re holding onto for no reason, be prepared to come up with a plan so you can properly work out what you can and can’t take with you to your new home.

There's no hard and fast rule when it comes to downsizing. What may apply to you may not be suited for others, which means you only need to assess yourself and your situation before accomplishing the move. 

Start by considering your feelings. Are you ready to downsize? What are the things you’re looking forward to? If the thought of moving into a smaller home makes you excited because you’ll have extra time relaxing on the patio with your favorite book or drink, instead of cleaning bedrooms you rarely use or maintaining your outdoor space, then you are probably ready to downsize.

While moving into a smaller house has clear advantages, you’ll only realize how small it really is once you start looking, and you may find yourself comparing your potential home to what you’ve grown accustomed to. This is why it’s also helpful to create a list of pros and cons and make sure to carefully evaluate your family’s needs and future plans before you decide.

Bottom Line

This transition is far from easy, so don't forget that it’s okay to be emotionally overwhelmed. After all, you’re moving from a home that you’ve built over the years to a new, smaller home where you need to adjust everything. Just remember that your goal is to simplify your life and hopefully to save for other bigger things in your life.
