I’d like to thank Past Me for making me take today off. Stellar choice.

I need to visit Past Me and tell her to take this week off. WHY didn’t I take this week off??

We agree, right, that well-written novels about people wanting, embracing, suffocating inside, or wasting love are literary evocations of lives we have not lived, but for which we can feel empathy.

I don't understand why replacing "love" with "fear" in that sentence somehow invalidates "literary".

I need to figure out what magic or alchemy happened yesterday and bottle it.

Yesterday must have been an outlier. Today I’m back to feeling tired AF on this commute. So it goes.

I find it really weird that I feel so awake when I had the worst sleep ever last night. I bet I’ll be the walking dead this afternoon.

Today is the first day in months I don’t feel like falling asleep while commuting to work, so I relogged into BlueSky.

Playing #Finspan this evening! I found it easier to navigate more than Wingspan, but I’m not sure if I like it more. Guess I’ve got to play it a few more times. ☺️

My cousin turned me on to those when we were visiting overseas. I love them!

Anyone else got that feeling of existential dread weighing on them 24/7 now? Hands?

The phrase “tempest in a teapot” is used to describe a small thing blown out of proportion, or a big commotion over something small. That’s been my MO since I was a little kid, in good ways and bad.

Ooooh I just got the physical game because it was on sale. Is it super complicated or easy to pick up?

Setup is a bit of a pain, but once you get moving it’s not as bad, promise!

Game tiles, pieces, and cards on a table.

Vying for affection in #Obsession. I love this game.

Spending my morning figuring out how to make a bag. #IYKYK

What’s a little #RivalRestaurants between families? My husband won (this time).

I love this list—especially the last one. 🩷

Resolution list: eat better, walk more, practice kindness, keep creating, read and write more, invest in my wellness, be more patient, learn a new skill

Some people don’t do #resolutions (I used to skip them), but I’ve made it a point to make them lately. For 2025, I want to be mindful, creative, and kind.

The Shining Mini Minder by Lemonwood Knitting is Metal Halloween 2024 x Lemonwood.love mini-minder  The mini-minder was featured in our The Shining: Room 237 Halloween box for 2024. We had a feeling it might be a hit, so we ordered a few...

It’s from a site called Knitting Is Metal: www.knittingismetal.com/products/the... Lots of cool stuff to check out!

Though I guess if I sprayed it with some scented spritz it would make a fair air freshener. ☺️

It’s a yarn minder! It holds my yarn and unwinds as I work, which means I don’t need to stow it in my bag or in my lap. Bonus: the print on it is the carpet from #TheShining.

My birthday present is getting good use on this car trip.

Oh that is too funny!

Wrapping up a lovely, chill #Christmas with some hot tea and #Wingspan on the switch. Also got to show off my brand-new Christmas cardigan, which I finished right in time. 😎

#HappyHolidays, y’all. Hope you had a great day, whether celebrating something or not.

I made the executive decision to stop worrying about what I eat until after the new year. Then I’ll care.

Came in third out of four. 🤷🏻‍♀️ But I had a great time doing it!

Board game setup with player boards, tokens, and cards.

Welcome to #Earth. Loved this game! Kinda felt like a cross between Wingspan and a lighter Ark Nova.

Saw this on FB. #starwars

I have won exactly once. I told myself I wouldn’t get another chapter till I beat it again. 😅
