Microscale world - the winter firewood has been delivered and is stacked. Had to run in and grab my brace, since my wrist I broke a few years ago was screaming at me. But three of us got it done.
Time for pain cream and ibuprofen before a run to town. Maybe a run to town.

A small bright pink elephant with spiral antennas and turquoise blue butterfly wings for ears. It is standing on a white windowsill in bright light, next to dried flowers and a white candle.
For Day 9 of #ArtAdventCalendar, a small butterfly elephant from last year! Paper mache, glass eyes, metal wire, painted with acrylics using a sand effect medium for a textured surface.

Dammit, my husband just Rule 34ed this. Not that he made up the porn, just mentioned that it probably exists.
So if I allow min horses into MY library, does that mean I have to eventually allow for a chainsaw?

OH hi - it's me again. Yes, as a librarian, I am making under $13 an hour. I know I am an exception, I know it's because of where I live and work, and that I've been an historical interpreter in the past, but I'd like to not do it this way.

There is such a thing as training the horse to "ground tether" in which the reins are purposefully allowed to dangle and touch the ground, and are easily scooped up by an experienced rider, even on an unfamiliar horse.
I might not have used the right term, but I've seen it done.

I know how mayo is made - eggs, oil, vinegar. Beat the crap out of it.
I can make it, but I won't. Why? I don't like mayo.
I like fake mayo - specifically, Miracle Whip, and then it only belongs in certain things, and never on my sandwich except for BLTs.
And I will send things back forever.

They clickety clickety goes all the way back to typewriters, cause us old folks need the sound of typing, I guess.
And as I say this, I realize my computer keyboard does NOT make those sounds, and it's the first one I've ever had that does not. My work one does though.

You also know I'm not stupid (I'm not met a person on this forum who is), that I do understand how the system works, and there is no need to talk down to people, even if you think they're not informed? And that you are not fully correct?
