i've been playing....

Fallout New Vegas
Cast n' Chill

The former is a lot of fun, effed up violence. (I hate the powder gang but I saved two of their men from the Legion 🙄 UR WELCOME, JERKS)

The latter is super chill and a great game to relax with hubby. 🥰 I have a CAT! giant ginger maine coon.

I see it’s that time of the month when everyone starts asking when certain authors are going to release books that are way overdue (in their opinion). The answer is never. It’s never happening, read something else.

My mom somehow figured out the breed of my childhood dog. They're called Bohemian Shepherds and they're from the Czech Republic. We always thought she was some kind of German Shepherd mix--that's what we were told--but she had such pantaloons! I've never seen another dog like her. I miss her.
NOT MY PIC. A child sitting on the floor next to a black dog with tan eye brows, under chin, and pantaloons. Very long hair, mouth open, tongue out. Happy looking dog.

Witch in the Lighthouse by Azalea Forrest. A lavender colored book cover with herbs, broomsticks, potions, chamomile flowers, and a lighthouse at sunset. 5 Stars, available on Amazon. “This book can’t help but make you feel good; Magnolia is a delightful protagonist, who despite opposition, perseveres ~ and with such goodness in her heart as to win over even the worst of her foes… We need more people of genuine good-will in the world.” - Boots

Good morning! Did a turnaround. I got maybe 5.5 hours sleep. 🤪 Hope you're all well!

I've been back on that FF14 BS lmao. Getting into some higher level craft/gatherer quests (Allied Societies!!) which has been really fun and a good change of pace.

What are y'all up to?

Our pest guy came by for routine work and Taro decided to follow him to every window, ensuring a job well done. 😌💖 Good kitty! #cats

Lilje got through the lottery!

Amidst all the chonky epic fantasy books, here's a gentle little one that'll amke you smile and maybe cry but feel very alive I think.

Just over a day left in the sale so be quick!
Graphic with black text top and bottom and a book in the centre. Text at top: Part of SPFBO XI. Bottom: On sale for 0.99. the book has a cover in an art nouveau style with the title: Reflections of Lilje Damselfly by Natalie Kelda and features a woman holding a water lily in one hand. She’s dressed in a blue water dress with water swirling around her arm and the hand that doesn’t hold the lily. Beneath her feet are two fish. Around the woman is a set of circles with the top half lined with water lilies and their lily pads. Around the scene is a swirling pattern in 3 tones of blue.

Reading: Untwined (Part Two, beta read)
Watching: Castle Rock Season 2
Playing: Oblivion Remastered & Coral Island

It's been difficult to find time to read or watch anything lately, but I'm doing my best to take care of myself and that's what's the most important!

Husband made chana masala for me last night, but our garam masala spices are pretty old, so he decided to use some red curry powder we got from his parents when they visited Thailand.

Friends. It's so damn spicy. My mouth? On fire. But I keep wanting to eat through the pain. 😂 #food
