This is now a pomegranate appreciation account

All this to say, I've been working on finding ways to cajole myself to get up earlier, because that makes my whole day better, ultimately.
So I asked my weekly meal service for loaded buckwheat pancakes this week, and this will be my reason to get out of bed for the next several days 😎

I agree, settling (for certain definitions of settling) doesn't lead to happiness.

I made this smoothie on October 10 but I like how my food labeling system makes it look like I'm saying this smoothie is 10/10 good
(it actually is 10/10 good, which adds to the joke!)

I don't know what this person expected--like, read the thread??--but if you come in my mentions with this I'm just blocking you
I literally said I need less of this in my life and you, an internet rando, are trying to put more of it in my life, no thanks

--which was a couple bottles of a supplement I only use from a specific brand. (Filler reasons, dose reasons, etc.)
They replaced it anyway, with a different brand I cannot use, to the tune of $52.78. I'm so glad the app just let me get an instant credit because holy shit.

time to frog this whole biatch and restart from the very beginning one size up
(the difference in gauge between knitting flat and in the round has lessened for me as I've gained more experience -- is that a me thing or a most knitters thing?)

I had to change the water a few times!, I had let a few of these dry out (oops) so they needed extra soaking.
Today they all seemed cleaned out enough so everything is just drying now.
I hope to ink many of these tomorrow!
I'll also try to share a bit of my journal set-up in case anyone's curious

Working on my seasonal pen cleaning and quarterly journal set up
(I used to do calendar quarters but those chop up the seasons a little funny, so now I'm shifting things by a month and doing Sep-Nov = autumn, Dec-Feb = spring, and so on)
First stage: a deep clean of all my fountain pen bbs
