I live in Massachusetts. There are way too many bugs in my living room. A mixture of kinds. Mostly flying. I even saw what looked like either a roach or a wasp on my floor tonight. It touched my leg.

For context, last summer, there was construction to add an addition to my "bedroom". I now have a new bedroom and bathroom and front door. My old bedroom is now my living room.

I should mention that all the windows in the house are 25 years old. At least the one in the bathroom is rotting the windowsill. Its so hot that we got a brand new window AC for my living room. That was yesterday. We killed about 20 bugs tonight. They just keep coming.

The AC is snug in the window. We used foam all around and duct tape all around as well. There cannot be any more holes they can get in. We even covered all the holes in the screen we could see.

Now, the AC is facing the backyard, where the pool is. My dad is working on the pool rn. The AC used to be in my old window before my bathroom was built on that side of the house. We already sprayed bug spray around the whole window area. We will spray outside the window tomorrow too. And my dad is calling Andersen tomorrow to explain we urgently need a new window. It HAS to be the window. My brand new window in my bedroom has not brought in ANY bugs.

I always hated school. My only good year was 9th grade because it was all online and I had help from my dad. As soon as I learned I could quit school, I knew i was gonna quit someday.

After 2 years of trying to learn any math with countless recourses and every help I can get, the knowledge i learned leaves my head. I cannot retain any knowledge. I've tried everything. I've been studying math for 2 years and still can't pass the practice test. I know you don't need to pass the practice to pass the real deal, but I would need to in order to feel confident.

Doing any math takes a severe toll on my physical and mental health. I can only study 30 minutes a day or else I get a really bad headache and eye strain. Every time I take a practice test and fail, I have a severe meltdown. My mom has almost called mobile crisis because of that at least twice.

I know without a GED, i will struggle to get a job, but I still can get a job. I know it won't be much, but I was always told I will most likely not be able to work much anyways, if at all with my mental and physical disabilities. My parents are supportive of me quitting and so is my advisor. They still try to convince me to just take a "break" but I don't want to. If I take a break, the knowing of the GED waiting for me will just be looming over my head. I'm quitting for now and if I wanna take it again in years, then I can. I'm just not ready. I never wanted to do this in the first place. My mom said I had to if I quit school, so I did. I'm halfway done already, but I just can't do this anymore. I quit last week. My mom has already said she's noticed a difference in my mood and mental health since then. No longer do I have to worry about studying every day and being exhausted. I can just focus on getting my learners permit and getting volunteer opportunities and getting a job coach so I can maybe get some work soon.

So I have a gaming laptop. Specifically an ROG Zeyphyrus G16. I know using compressed air is good for cleaning the dusty vents, but I don't want to do that anymore. I did that a few times last year and one time, some dust got in my headphone jack. I then made the headphone jack worse by trying to clean the dust out, and spent 1k to get a new motherboard so I could have a new headphone jack. idk how else to clean the vents. Maybe a powder brush? Anyone have any ideas?
