October, November and December, have been and will be months of mayhem but now that the festive season is starting I'm starting to feel some excitement again.

This week was such a big week, it was fun and exhausting and that is why this post is basically a noon post instead of a prepped and scheduled midnight release because I started it at 10pm last night and then fell asleep with my laptop open in front of me.

What a week, I think I hate a short week. They are so rushed, I don't know if a four-day work week would be better or worse than a five-day work week.

It's finally warm, we … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination: Vol. 1
I am so close to finishing this ^ but I ran out of thread, AGAIN, and while the thread itself is inexpensive, shipping to get it here was like $15, making the skein I just ordered a $20 skein, and I don't know if I can stomach that again, so it may have to wait … Continue reading Saturday Scroll: 05/13/22
What a rollercoaster of a week, we went from winter to summer, it was a whirlwind professionally. I am a candidate for Lasik. I feel like I've experienced a sudden rush of serotonin due to sunshine, good news, and the promise of a free weekend, it feels superb.
