Terri Power Art Earring Countdown to December, Day 3!
I BEG YOUR FINEST OF PARDONS.
HOW IS THIS YULE LOG CAKE MADE OUT OF CLAY AND NOT CAKE??????? Even the powdered sugar dusting on the top is incredibly realistic. The texture is on point. The red shiny board it’s on is perfection.

I sure hope students appreciate that I answer them at 11pm the night before their make-up test when they have a Panic! At The Library! over a study guide question. 😒
Who am I kidding? My insomnia is convincing me it's currently 4pm. Also, they don't care. lol.

Washed my Box-O-Sox for the first time since moving into my new apartment at the end of June. If I had been knitting socks faster the last little while I could have put it off even longer!

You know what's awesome? Having to hot-spot off of your phone's data because the wifi just went out at work. Thankfully I have a boatload of data (that I pay for, on my personal cell phone, that I also paid for), but it's in-friggin-sane that I have to do this at least once per term just to function

Thursday Thrifty Bits: nothing today! Shirt from JYSK, pants just old. My earrings today are an homage to my dress yesterday: melted snowmen (it is 12C and sunny today, after all…). Made by Terri Power, of course!

Today was my students’ test, and I like to dress up all fancy-like.
So what better day for a fluffy snowman dress? And bow earrings and ring? And snowman socks? I mean, there really is no better day. This dress is the softest, fluffiest thing I have ever worn. Hot as heck, but so soft

Walking back to work after my weekly bloodwork (yes, I now get weeeeeekly bloodwork to make sure I’m not actively dying, just passively I guess?) and someone yelled across the parking lot “EDNAAAAAAAAA!”
I appreciate the sentiment, but not in these glasses!

Monday Thrifty Bits: thrifted pants! Sweater is another one of my Blizzard Bay sweaters, and it’s a very popular design (I think I know of 3 other people that have it?). My only complaint: the T. rex’s sweater does not have a human in a sweater on it…

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Marielle and I went into Splurge Boutique on the way home and found out one of the staff that worked there hid this purse specifically for me when it came in 3 weeks ago. The strap is still a little sad from storage crumple, but I’m now the owner of a gingerbread house purse.
