Ugh. Running into the wall of

Sigh

I got up, I made special eggy toast and bacon for my family. I am now going to ignore all the little messes and stresses that would normally distract me this time of the day, and I'm going to sit and play FFXIV instead. Damn it.

My kiddo is now solidly referring to cats as "meows", as in

That is a meow
What a cute meow
Look, meows!

Like most of us, I've been feeling pretty dark lately. Doing the work that fuels my soul - sitting here and designing and crocheting - feels a bit ridiculous in the face of nazi salutes on the national stage.

I've been using 5calls.org
I hope you'll join me.

Have an octopus.
