Getting blood work done, it’s been 20 minutes since my appointment time and I still haven’t been seen, fasting and haven’t eaten in almost 15 hours… Not happy.

My whole family and I are moving to Tom Bombadil’s house. He and Goldberry are such gracious hosts and we will be relaxed there. (Please note: we cannot actually do this.) ๐Ÿ“š

Y’all don’t even know how transformed this fireplace is from just a couple months ago. W painted it white & my brother-in-law MM and I hung the mantel. First picture is after & second is before.

A brick fireplace painted white, a wide dark mantel hangs on the fireplace. Cream, red, and green Christmas stockings hang from the mantel. Greenery sits on the mantel with white candles spread through it. Above all this hangs a print of a painting of a red wooden building with a sign reading 'Catsburg' and a silhouette of a cat A brick fireplace, red brick painted over in places with cream paint.

The head teacher at my kid’s school for next year sent an email saying that the only school supplies he will need are a backpack and a lunchbox and I haven’t felt so disappointed in a long time. Guess I just have to buy school supplies for myself…

I have done all the things in Stardew Valley 1.4 and it took me ~245 hrs. That’s ~245 hrs when I was playing Stardew Valley and not doomscrolling.

You can log a lot more hours in a game when it’s playable in little bits.

True facts about my time on the early web:

In many chats (like, html + server side scripting with auto-refresh), my handle was Elora Danan and my profile picture was a Labyrinth-era photo of Jennifer Connelly.

I am a very specific sort of nerd.

Wonderful things ๐Ÿฅณ:

  1. My kid fell asleep before 9:30 for the first time this week. ๐Ÿ˜ด
  2. I โค๏ธ Tom Bombadil, Goldberry, & Andy Serkis singing as both of them. ๐Ÿ“š
  3. Tomorrow I get to watch Neverafter. ๐Ÿง™โ€โ™€๏ธ
  4. My friend Little Willow rescued a kitty & sent me many pictures. ๐Ÿฑ

Some notes on my Spotify Wrapped:

  1. Joe Hisaishi is the composer for My Neighbor Totoro, which is what I wake M up with on the rare morning he’s not awake by 7:30.
  2. All 5 of my top songs are from the Totoro soundtrack because I play it other times too.
  3. The reason my minutes are so high is that I use Spotify for M’s white noise.
  4. Where this says “New Wave,” you should read “Goth.”.

No Enya this year, but The Lonely Island stands strong.
