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.) ๐
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.


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…
๐๐ฎ Read Playing โTunicโ Reminds Me How to Approach Sickness and Recovery by Martin Cahill (Catapult).
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 ๐ฅณ:
- My kid fell asleep before 9:30 for the first time this week. ๐ด
- I โค๏ธ Tom Bombadil, Goldberry, & Andy Serkis singing as both of them. ๐
- Tomorrow I get to watch Neverafter. ๐งโโ๏ธ
- My friend Little Willow rescued a kitty & sent me many pictures. ๐ฑ
Some notes on my Spotify Wrapped:
- 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.
- All 5 of my top songs are from the Totoro soundtrack because I play it other times too.
- The reason my minutes are so high is that I use Spotify for M’s white noise.
- Where this says “New Wave,” you should read “Goth.”.
No Enya this year, but The Lonely Island stands strong.
