Used to own an owl, and now it seems I'm fated to be the 'Crazy Owl Lady' for the rest of my days.

It's barely past lunch on my first day back in the office after my vacation, and I have already managed to break not one, but TWO computers... and I'm bleeding.

Ever just give up on a day and decide to see if an entire liter of black tea is the solution to everything?

I'm about to start Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
I suspect this might be the end of my productivity for the foreseeable future.

Contacted my housing association to get them to fix my lack of hot water, and someone arrived this morning.
5½ hours, two superintendents and three plumbers later, I've now gotten the update that "we have now managed to shut off the water".

Baby birds are learning to fly in my garden.
They're not very good at it, and now one of them is sitting outside my window, looking at me like the crash landing was somehow *my* fault.

Ran a game of Ultimate Werewolf at the office today.
It's strangely cathartic to describe the gruesome ways your coworkers have murdered each other.

No, Google Docs, I do not randomly want to correct this "said" to Danish. There are currently 55.000 in this document and not a *single* one of those are in Danish. Why do you think this specific instance of a word I have used seven times on this page alone would be any different?

I was asked about my thoughts in regards to a new office space today.
My conclusion was that as long as there's stable internet and you can't hear mysterious screaming through the vents, it'd be an improvement over the last office I worked in.

Sounds like the third round of thunder for today is about to roll in. Guess I will just have to stay inside reading, rather than doing all that gardening I was supposed to.
Oh, what a shame.

Looking for book recommendations that include scenes with combat between large sailing ships.
Bonus points if we're talking pirates.

Survived this weekend's family gathering, even if I had to repeatedly inform one of my uncles that, "No, just because we have far-out Romani ancestry does NOT mean we're allowed to use ethnic slurs."
Is there some law that says someone in a family has to start racist discussions when meeting? 🤦♀️

So... I managed to kill off a character before getting around to giving them a proper name.

To whoever may end up looking through my search history:
Listen, if you’re going to be writing about necromancy, it is very useful to know about the different stages of decomposition.
I swear I’m not trying to get rid of a body, okay?

It's my birthday, and I have been told that means I'm allowed to buy more books.
That seems very sensible and I am open for recommendations.

So, I finished running my Lovecraftian horror D&D one-shot today.
I'm honestly not sure why I'm surprised it ended with the Kenku adoping a horrific snake-spider experiment, naming it Mr Mayonnaise, then horribly murdering the woman the party was sent to check up on...

I'm about 25.000 words into writing this book and I already have a total of 9 name placeholders being used liberally.
At this rate, the character "--3" is going to be killed off before he ever gets a name.
