HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE X WINTER PEOPLE

When a veteran with PTSD moves into a house that goes bump in the night, it's hard to tell the difference between being tormented by her past or haunted by something even darker. And her family is caught in the middle.

Clover finding new ways to use the nap trap. Malicious compliance for sure!

Just some very general advice, apropos of nothing:

If you're smart enough to hire a professional for advice, be smart enough to listen to what they tell you.

e.g., don't hire an attorney to advise you on your divorce (or anything, really) and then ignore what they tell you.

When you realize everyone is healing from something, it's a lot easier to just be kind to people.

Whenever I get home I sit in my car for a few minutes before going in. Once I go inside someone is going to want something.

Looks like all comics tonight so I won't know if my set sucks or not. (Comics are a much tougher crowd than non-comics).

What movie villain is a horrible "person", but an absolute joy to watch on screen?

I finished another (very small, partial) page!

WARNING!! Clover is running a scam. she waits for the trap to catch a mouse, then she empties the trap and acts like she caught it.

They've gone back to celebrating the winter solstice, "Longest Night", and in the City of Glass's Glow it's celebrated with a feast/party with music and food.

Through their service and sacrifice, Maine’s veterans haven’t just made our state great. They’ve helped shape our country.
 
During the Civil War, Maine sent a higher % of its population to fight than any other Union state. Mainers have served with distinction in every major conflict since. (1/3)

Not always on the same side (I have an ancestor who fought for the British in the Revolution and my maternal grandmother's people fought her husband's people in the Civil War), but there's a long tradition of military service in my family, at least one per generation. I was the last one. 1/2

Behold Britta, the most ridiculous dog in the world. (Most of the time she's curled up in the bed rather than overflowing off it. Also we do have bigger beds)

All the time.
Writers, do you ever fear running out of story ideas? This is one fear I don’t have #writingq #WritingCommunity

Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to
"help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

Update on the door: we will definitely not be able to lift it.
Fortunately, my FIL has a tractor.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have a trailer.
Fortunately, they only live 5 miles away.
Unfortunately, my husband can't drive a tractor.
Fortunately, I can.

Going to be a fun day.

I had my hair colored before my trip and was very disappointed in the results, so I decided to try home color for the first time.

How it's going:

The spring on my garage door broke. Without the spring, the door won't open.

Guess what's now trapped inside the garage...
