After a full year of googling "2012 calendar" every time I needed to verify that dates lined up in this project and I wasn't referencing the wrong day of the week in dialogue, I have finally added a calendar to my Obsidian vault. Now to forget I have that every time I need it! \o/

Giggling evilly alone in my apartment as I collage reactions to the most recent chapter, invariably in agony and frequently in all caps.

-Stop slouching, drink some water, take your meds.
-Be free, cringe is dead. Enjoy things unironically.
-The Cursed Object asked if the standing mixer was also a ‘spinny ride’.

Today's little joy from a very productive writing session: the graph for this project's obsidian vault has a heart in it because of all the love I put into the project. :)
