all she has to do is help them find a cure to the plague they believe was not accidental. Doing so might risk more than her life—but it might be the key to uncovering the truth.

My stupid cat
My Xmas tree all lit up
Wanted to get the Christmas vibe going early so the tree is up. (We did tie it back as a certain large kitty knocked it over last year)
Me wearing Fantasia mouse ears
I had no idea they made Fantasia mouse ears!
Magic Kingdom
LEGO Chewbacca booty
Killing time at the magic kingdom. Dan is the photographer for a Disney wedding tomorrow but today he is prepping so I'm solo. Of course with the airlines possibly shutting down there's a good chance I'll be missing the flight home on Sunday. OH WELL. Also LEGO Chewbacca serving cake. Just saying.
Yeah I really like this design!

Ended up scratching my cornea and giving myself an eye ulcer a couple of days ago. Between that and the flu shot on Friday, I've been under the weather so spent today finishing up this Magic Pharmacist book nook. Fun details but for some reason all I got were Anise stickers for the drawers lol.
The orange menace
Blackwork embroidery
About 1/3 of the way done. Would have been further along but I was two columns short on the right and didn't realize until I'd nearly completed the section below only to to have to tear out all of it and redo it. T_T Onwards! #crossstitch #xstitch #blackwork
Tiny pumpkin trying to grow
The tiny random pumpkin is both tiny and random…
My kitty in the laundry basket, looking like a smug asshole.
Pumpkin flower
Pollinated pumpkin flower (maybe?)
My random pumpkin plant finally had a female flower a few days ago, but it was raining so no bees were around to pollinate it. Did the hand pollination thing and I think it was successful. The ball at the bottom there looks larger so hopefully it will grow. No idea why it's flowering NOW though…
Male pumpkin flower from a random pumpkin plant in my garden
My randomly growing pumpkin plant has finally decided to flower. (It's a male flower so this will be moot if a lady flower doesn't show up). I feel like it's a bit late in the season to be starting this process but guess we will see.
Blackwork design pattern
Blackwork progress. Slower going then I'd like but I miscounted and ended up having to frog a section. Back on track now, though! ^_^ #xstitch #crossstitch
Adopted parakeet Starry
So, we now have a friend for Gutters! Currently in a quarantine cage, we adopted Starry from the shelter. Also a found bird, we don't have any history on him, but he had been there for a month and looked sad. Hopefully they will get along. ^_^
Ty! I bought the pattern but didn’t realize how large/intricate it was going to be! >_<

“Everyone has a bird inside them, my Maw Maw used to tell me. A soul trapped within the cage of their ribs.”
A lovely quote from my short story "A Murmuration of Souls" from the newly released anthology Fractured Reveries, edited by Carina Bissett! You can read the excerpt and a little bit about why I wrote it over at the Storied Imaginarium Substack :
