the other thoughts this time for real
I forgot about the other things I wanted to say in the last post, it got kinda too long lol
One was because when I was brushing some leaves in my grandad's garden I kept disturbing all these bugs (Jesper will be happy to know there were LOTS of worms and I saw 1) the LONGEST worm I've ever seen and 2) the GIRTHIEST worm I've ever seen in my life)
Anyhow I was being very Yarrow-minded (ha ha sounds like narrow-minded) because I kept getting sad that I was destroying habitats left and right lol. But actually I mentioned this to my other friend and she educated me about how homeostasis works for bugs and how they have this very simple mechanism whenever they're out of stasis where they just start running around randomly not knowing why they're even doing it or what's going on, until they find stasis again, they're not "seeking" anything, they're not panicking... And I was like man Yarrow would know this somehow lol. And I could see Jesper getting upset about a bug like getting disturbed or having its home destroyed or something and Yarrow explains to him how actually the bug is ok and doesn't understand it as a loss or something distressing. Very interesting...
Other small thought -- I just was laying on the sofa yesterday with my legs hanging off the arm and then my dog decided to join me and he sat. Literally on my shoulder and he's no small creature. It made me wonder a) if his weight is comparable to Jesper's (in that, ratio-wise, between Jesper and Yarrow vs. me and my dog -- he is heavy but not impossible for me to pick up and carry, but not for very long)
And also if Jesper would sometimes randomly lay on Yarrow in the weirdest positions like this lol. He was laying on my shoulder but then his body was curled up around my head. Cute to imagine...
