The power bill skyrocketed with the snowy days we had last month. Kinda makes me grumpy--I'm gonna hafta seriously curb the summer power bill to even it out.

Delightfully, I'm *good* at that.

I've onboarded the Covid, MMR, Tdap and Shingles #1 vaccines w/in the past 30 days.

If I get something, it's not going to be for lack of trying to avoid it....

Feb 28 - Covid
Mar 7 - MMR / Tdap
Mar 14 - RSV, I think....

Had an ultrasound of my veins this morning. Got the tech to geek out over ultrasounds. He'd occasionally say "but you don't want to hear about that" and I'd say, "oh, but I DO" and he'd burble on again.

It was delightful. I know weird things about my leg veins now.

Not everyone likes romantasy (fantasy w/romance in the plot), but I do enjoy this author.
The characters, like real people, have networks of friends / family / etc. Some relationships are healthy. Some are not. I like that the characters grow toward mentally healthy lives in the books.

Come to the 11th Night (An Tir/Summits) Corvid Party
Like Crows and Ravens, etc.
.
Trade objects!
Objects must be
a. SHINY
or
b. MAKE NOISE
.
black is not required (I have none myself) because JAYS are also corvids, so Summits blue is also welcome 😃

After much deliberation, I have identified that the autumnal leaf color of scrub oaks is baby scours yellow.

and honestly, if your stuff is all modern politics, I'm gonna unfollow here, too, until I learn the ways to mute it.

FB got the ways to make sure I see the rage-inducing stuff you wanna share.
Over there.

This is what I read when I'm getting ready for bed.
