As we head fully into the holiday season, I think of people like me who are grieving & maybe they’re alone too. No matter how long it’s been, I realize I’m still figuring out this time of year for myself & learning what I want it to be now. Whatever your situation, you are valid & seen & loved.

TADA!!! My puddings puffed up a little more than I’d like but I think my oil wasn’t hot enough when I added my mixture.

(Don’t judge this plate please, it has been a long week 🫠)

In light of the ACNH news, I will be purchasing amiibos. Dang it. I’ve also realized I need a new left joycon because mine is a little too well loved and I’ve only just realized it 😅

Got my little pumpkins done. I am quite proud of the work I do this year. I do love a celestial theme for pumpkins. I really don’t know why. It just always feels right.

I’ve done some crafting, some tidying, finished a book, washed clothes, changed the sheets, did my nails, and made a pretty damn delicious veggie pot pie.
Wow.

Now that I have a much better understanding of it, I love crochet! I do have one note WHY are US & UK stitches called different things. That’s so stupid. The UK names for stitches make so much more sense. If you really sit and think about what how your making the stitch. UGH 😩

Been in a bit of a reading slump so I thought I would try something different. I am not a horror girly but tis the season, you know. This was my first Grady Hendrix read & it was a trip! I finished it in two days & was really drawn into the story. Such an awesome interesting & spooky concept. 4/5⭐️

Found this super cute enameled cast iron Dutch oven for a steal today. It’s only 1 quart but that’s actually perfect for me. I can use it for so many things!

So happy it’s cool enough to bake! I made Pumpkin Bread to share with my colleagues this week. It’s one of my very favorite Fall recipes. Making it helps me remember my mom & how she made it every autumn to share with people around her. I hope they like it.

3 years ago, I was a broken in every. But I had this light & his name was Harry & he let us into his House & it was the string that held me together to make it through the second worst year of my life. He picked me up. He dusted me off & helped me through & he has no idea. So grateful. I made it. 🫶🏻

I’ve done some crafting today. I used up the rest of my white air dry clay to make a paint palette, some earrings, and what I’m calling a spoon rest. It’s been a productive day.

Oh my god, I love music. I love music. I love Hozier. INCREDIBLE!
