Sometimes I do something and my brain hyperfixates on how maybe I did something wrong despite my good intentions and I’m going to be punished and I go into near full-on panic mode about it.
Sometimes brains suck.

That’s right. For some reason my brain always wants Shaolin to be a form of karate.

Finished playing Tales of Symphonia! I loved it! 💕

I ended up having Kratos in my final party, so I may go back and replay at least the later parts of it to see how things change if I made different choices.

(And I did beat the Skeleton boss all 3 times, @liminalitycarb.live !)

Pneumonia is no joke. Neither is bronchitis (which I had repeatedly as a kid). They suck. Looking out for your health is important.

Oh no!!! (Usually that is a sure sign that I am sick.)

Gets a little more awkward when they are no longer kitten-sized, but still nice.

Currently writing code to display information about marine wave/wind forecasts. In a little while, going out to eat with my husband to celebrate his birthday.

Have you ever had a peanut butter cup old enough for the filling to completely dehydrate to a fine powder? Still good.

Very roughly: fire=karate, water=tai chi, earth=kung fu, air=baguazhang

I mean that just meant that you look young, right? RIGHT? 🤦‍♀️

If you had a shark in your house there would be even bigger questions.

First snow of the season here last night, so no aurora for me. Sadness. (Just a dusting and it’s gone now)

This is how it *should* work.

Melissa is a wonderful writer and human being, and I very much encourage folks to work with her!

Here’s hoping it’s the least of possible evils, then!

Do you have a code reader? Getting one has been a sanity saver for us.

That sucks. Sending virtual hugs. And virtual tissues. Not that those help.

Actually having purchased and attempted using a machete on my garden…meh? (They cut, but at least the Fiskars one out-of-the-package was not as useful as I’d hoped.)

Faithful to the spirit if not the letter? (I haven’t seen it but want to - assuming this the del Toro version)

I don’t understand the purpose of a sex marker on IDs - or descriptions of hair/eye color, (or even weight, for that matter). I get it’s for a physical description, but . . .there is a *photo* right there!

Sat down to write tonight. Got distracted, and spent the last half hour (?) scrolling through DnD memes. I would blame it on the fact I got vaccinated today and I’m more tired than I think, but no, this is just me. (I miss playing RPGs.)

Tonight, a handful of fic edits done. Nothing major, but baby steps are still progress!

Or the previous owners of the house, maybe. They’re not hostile, they just always run away.

They do. My efforts to befriend my local ones thus far have failed.
