Ate cheese and was playing bass guitar (badly) on the bed, and then Prince Charming texted, so I then spent the evening eating cheese, playing guitar, and discussing ducks and cats.
Mentioned I might be in his city in a week for an art event. He said he'd keep the entire day clear.

Threw this up on my dating app profile. I've kept my photos pretty understated so far, but I'm curious how people's behavior changes if I look more glam.

Took this one this morning while putzing on my phone.
I look like I could get away with murder. No wonder I attract all the manipulative assholes.
Again, more evidence that I missed my true calling as a serial killer.

After two fever reducers.
Haven't been sick in a year. I don't get sick often or easily. Last time it nearly landed me in the hospital. This month needs to give me a break.
Staying hydrated, promise.

Y'all, I've been so focused on getting the Dark Sky fountain pens done that I hadn't realized I'd not shown you how many were in progress.
This isn't even all of them. (There's more in other stages of making.)
That bit of information would probably help explain why they're taking me so long.
