Not sure why I'm deep cleaning, but I am (probably because I really Should Be Writing(TM)).
I'm wondering why I felt the need for the massive amount of glitter that I've found. That I totally forgot I had. Not to mention the 3 massive bottles of glue.
(I will never get an answer.)

My (inadvertent) glass jar collection is meeting the things I can't quite get rid of because, damn it, I do end up using them occasionally.
A few of the jars were originally meant for the bathroom... until the shelf collapsed and I had the fun of cleaning up glass bits.

I took last week off because the stars aligned (no pressing projects at work, no appointments or huge home projects). It was sorely needed: I managed to work on a writing project (coming to the conclusion it's at Draft 0 and needs a complete overhaul) and putter.

You know, I think WisCon spoiled me for attending online conferences. I adore their setup of having a Discord chat for every panel. So much easier to read all the comments people make AND easily accessible after it's done!

We’ve really all gotta be a lot more clear headed and open eyed about this. Joni Earnst’s belief system is IN THE MAJORITY in our federal leadership. “Accept Jesus or die” is our national policy. “Kill as many people as possible to trigger the apocalypse” IS THE PLAN.

The original plan was to place my firepit in the middle and fill in around the rest with stones or something, IDK. But as the gas line now runs beneath... The surrounding pavers came from the edge. Not sure how I'll fill the trench left behind, but that's a worry for another time.

It's rained enough here I've accidentally started a project I've been noodling for a while: removing the side yard border and putting the stones around my not-a-firepit. Taking a break now, and not sure what to do with the trench left from digging them out.

Nothing quite like getting a spiderweb to the face.

One of my dryer balls just self-sacrificed to the sump pump. At least I saw it happen (even if I was unable to prevent it).

I was going to take a nap, but... we're under tornado watch (which means conditions are very good for one to form).

I had supervision as I worked in my garage this morning. She let me get very close (right underneath her is a deck box that I had to rummage around in to find some things I needed: she didn't move). I think it's a robin. Maybe. (Thought I saw a red breast as she flew around.)

So, about 3 years ago (when Twitter was just changing over to X) someone hacked my account. And then Twitter killed it. No appeal could get it back. I always wonder what the hacker posted, given that I was banned from ever having another account.
