I went to do my PotD, and it turns out I've already DONE this one. Iron Throne rolling through again. (unsurprising as it was a 9/10)

No musked pockets for you!
I know people would be appalled at handling the snakes, but it kinda makes sense to me (if they're not venomous), because then should one get in the house you can just scoop it up and put it back outside since it knows you're cool.

She was probably so so cozy in that pocket, too.

(also, it was After Dark, if anyone else wants to go listen, though Eleanor Janega is more specifically Gone Medieval)

Other day Jer and I were listening to a podcast and Mally asked who were were listening to and if we liked them, and Jer told her it was @goingmedieval.bsky.social and that 'she tells stories the same way your mom does'. Most fantastic compliment I got that week.

SNEK

DINOSAUR

It's too big, but it makes me think of those BIG plug socket heads. Or, like, the ass of an old floodlight bulb.

PotD: Suc "Lonicera" Notes: Rich honeysuckle, huckleberries, white musk, and tonka
I know I go on and on about how meh I am on florals, but...ya girl LOVES a honeysuckle. So this is great and I would bathe in it. 10/10

The roots were getting long, so I bleached them out the other day (Jer says I'm getting a small handful of pre-bleached strands in there, ooooooh), and also did the left side of my stripes. Pink top? Held strong. Blue tips? Great. Purple middle? GONE. It's very rocket pop.

I set him up with a heating pad, blanket, and pillow and he was snoring in no time. :)

It's gone chilly again, and since Mally's room is usually big toasty Fury was DESPERATE to get in there and be a warm cat. Unfortunately since it HAD been warm, Mally put a fan in her window and hasn't gotten around to taking it back out.

OH the speed in which he bailed out of there.

I think Legend was my first glimpse, too. And, like...hot demon and a banging dress, or young Tom Cruise? The choice seems pretty easy.

I always love when I see movie reactors watch a Tim Curry film for the first time because they all end up going 'wait, why do I find him so hot?' Girl, it's because it's Tim Curry. He could be wearing a full body sack and it's like 'you know...that sack has something that's doing it for me'.

(two today because there was a mid-day showerrrrrrrr)

PotD: Suc 'Ephemera' Notes: Sandalwood, allspice, musk, firewood, vanilla, paper, ink, oak

This one is iffy. At first it's very oud poopy, then it fades down to allspice/musk. So part 2 is nice, but part 1 is a dirty butt. Could just be me, though. 4/10

PotD: Suc 'Lemon Chiffon' Notes: Lemon, more lemon, other lemon, vanilla.

I'm a big fan of lemon scents, and this is a good one. It's sweet and not at all like Lemon Pledge (no sarcasm). You know, kinda like a lemon cake. 8/10

Honestly, at this point in time, unless there's actively a bone sticking out or a fever tat has crested 104f/40c, there's no way I'm going to an ER. And ambulances? Forget it.

Today has been a much less pain riddled, awful day, so yay to that! I still didn't do a single damn thing, but at least I was a sloth without a headache.

I can. 👍

My sister has something like that, too. She gets cluster headaches, which sounds like a migraine on steroids. D:

I feel much much better now, but OOF was that a rough span. Made me really understand why people will go to the ER for a migraine. Usually I can find A Position that makes my head not scream, but it took FOREVER to locate, to the point I didn't think I would find it.

(this was not the scent for migraine day, so it didn't set me off into headache land)(yay)

pretty sure that it wasn't going to be my jam, but after it dried down, it went to a nice spice with a whisper of amber. Def one I'd put on at the start of the day and not refresh. 7/10

PotD: Suc 'Coven" Notes: herbs, black, golden, and white ambers. Fir needles, cedarwood, and autumn leaves against a backdrop of pumpkin spice and sassafras.

For not having a single smoke note, this one was smoky af. I got that more than anything. SHOCKINGLY even more than the herbs. At first I was

Managed to get enough meds to stay in me long enough to do something and PASSED THE F out for, like, five hours, woke up and it was basically tomorrow. F--, would not recommend.

TODAY was a DAY. Woke up with a headache, went 'eh, I can hack it', went to the post office to get some things mailed, came home, and the headache said 'how DARE you take me outside' and exploded into full migraine. One of those so bad that you can't take pills because they won't stay DOWN.

So many sniffs! Your desk is gonna smell amazing. :D (and hopefully you, too!)

It's got that sunburn kinda feeling.
Last night I was sitting on the floor in front of him because Fury yelled at me until I gave him the computer chair (grandpa is trying to enforce screen time limits apparently) and Jer kept absently trying to rub me and I was like 'nooooo, no touchy.'

*sprays him down with a little bbq sauce*
