This time of year + seasonal depression always seem to hit me no matter what I try

(add in dealing w/ the extra that is this year & power grabs at limiting my rights to exist)

So here's to a day of protecting my peace & trying to get as much sun as I can

I'm here, I'm taking up space, I am resisting

February = lots of fantasy with a splash of sci fi & mystery...

And slow progress on the #silmarillion

Finally starting Spark of the Everflame.

Must say, was unexpectedly and pleasantly surprised by how beautiful the "basic" version of the book is 🥰

Now to keep my grubby hands from dirtying it 😬

While you're being distracted the #republican administration is doing this

#tropilachia at Little Jumbo, always amazing

A bit better than all the Santa tiki pop ups

No overly sweet tropical drinks... and it's in February 🥰

70F/21C in early Feb in western NC

aka Ahsoka is beyond thrilled to have the windows open and the birds to chirp at

January reads - all the fantasy for a bit of escapism and mental health protection

And obvi prepping for the release of #OnyxStorm

Oh and the lovely graphic and month wrap thanks to @thestorygraph.com 🥰
