My pumpkin pie is fucking delicious and I feel like something might be right in the world again.
Completing this fairly pointless day by munching, crocheting, and watching handboll.

Made another batch of gingerbread cookies (another recipe, we're having a bakeoff) and the pumpkin pie is in the oven.
I went out to pick moss and greenery for the advent light decorations and even found the box with christmas stuff.
Let's boost the mood or something.

It's Saturday (finally), and we want to shine a light on A Queen in Blood, by Nick Snape, the third book in the Warriors of Spirit and Bone series that began with A Dragon of the Veil.

I would really like a pumpkin pie but it requires me to bake a pumpkin pie and energy level is not high today

Gonna attempt to get some writing in today. Not sure I'm really feeling it though. Kinda heavy. Both in body and mind. It's been some rough weeks all around.

Got such a bad headache. Maybe from jaw clenching, maybe from flu shot.
Maybe I’m just tired. Or is it Maybelline?
Hope it’s gone tomorrow.

Got a flu shot this afternoon and I've not been sick with the flu nor gotten a vaccine in years and I've got a feeling it'll hit kinda hard the coming days.
Went for a run in preparation for a weekend on the couch 🫠

It’s Friday and usually my writing day but I’m at a work meeting all damn day.
At least there’s candy and coffee.
November 28, 2025 at 12:58 PM
This is the first morning for over a week where my alarm has actually been able to wake me up and I don't feel completely worn down and awful.
Yay the sick-not-sick situation is turning toward the not-sick!

🌟 new review 🌟

From @whistberry.bsky.social comes a collection of horror, dark fantasy, and sci-fi short stories told like the grimm fairytales of old.
With art between each story it's a delight for the mind and the eye.
