Sorry, you will just have to accept that Harry Potter is irretrievably tainted by her insane transphobia. Let it go. If you critically examine it, you'll see it isn't even good writing or world building...
- hogwarts legacy is free on epic
- hp skins in fortnite
Yep, it's time to tap the sign
It's either us, the REAL PEOPLE in your life, or your shitty nostalgia
(btw even if the games/items are free that wench still profits from it because of licensing fees)

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 19 is a simple bracelet, with some of my favourite beads of the year. Both the howlite and the frosted glass beads are matt finish, but the central layer in the frosted glass makes the beads glow pink on one side, and yellow-hued rainbows on the other.

JFC, I know my time is essentially worthless, but it wouldn't kill people to say thank you.

I am now at the stage of deciding who isn't going to get a card this year because there are 7 people left on the list but I've only got 4 stamps left and can't afford to spend any more money on stamps (seriously, why are stamps so expensive now?).
Still waiting for the painkillers to kick in to write these cards. Getting time nervous now. Radian B either helped a bit or was a bit distracting, but not enough.
Typing is fine, or fine-ish, it's just grip and fine motor skills that are an issue at this pain/inflammation level.

I have about a dozen cards to write - a couple of friends and some aging relatives I haven't spoken to in decades but my mum wanted me to keep sending cards to - but my hands are so sore and stiff I can't hold the pen properly. Taken some painkillers, and trying Radian B on my knuckles.

I keep seeing writing hashtag games it would probably do me good to join in on, but I never see them at the beginning of the month when they start. I used to do a couple on the other place and they were fun.

Yesterday I asked how long people had been locked for, and was impressed by people who had banked years in a chastity cage.
So my question today is: Why are you locked?

Fun conversation with hubby earlier when he tried to convince me to celebrate the birthday after my next one, because it's a big one. For once, I didn't argue, I simply asked him who we should invite. Once he'd realised not one of my friends would be able to come and there was no one, I moved on.

Probably not the best sign when someone starts gently testing out whether you're a danger to yourself two minutes into a how's it going conversation...
Note to self: Honest, but maybe not *too* honest.

Some feathered friends at my feeders this afternoon. These two males or what’s left of a whole flock of pine grosbeaks that stopped by earlier. I think our red breasted nuthatches have gone south, leaving room for their white breasted brethren. The chickadees are my constants. #birds 🌿

Kept the crumbling mental health at bay long enough to get the course finished, and to let my husband get to bed without noticing how bad it is. Now I get to fall apart alone for an hour or two before I tackle tonight's workload.

Keep trying to work up the courage to contact a (potential) friend who said they wanted to get together for coffee. But every time I get close I manage to set my RSD off in an unrelated way, and bottle out. Today was attempt four, but the RSD is bad bad, so it's not going to happen.

Holy Shit that end of unit test was so hard I gave myself an anxiety spike. It's been so long since I tried to make those bits of my brain work I'm pretty sure I heard them creaking.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 18. I've been showing pieces that play with light for this tag. This bracelet doesn't play with the light, it throws it around. Hematite cubes with a mirror shine, and honestly the shiniest chunky pink glass beads I've ever seen. An antidote to the grey, dark, days.

This afternoon I need to push away everything else and get this little course finished. I lose access to the resources at midnight, so this is my last chance. Body will have to cooperate, and crappy mental health can wait its turn, just for a few hours.

Ok, so for the second time in a week I prioritised sorting stuff out for someone else over the stuff that's stressing me so much I can't sleep. And for the second time in a week I wasted my time, and could have left it a few days. That sucks, but it was still the right thing to do, so I can't bitch.

Just cost myself a bunch of money I don't have because I'm so exhausted and distracted I forgot to apply the discount code. Nothing I can do. Might have to go and throw up, then decide what I'm going without this month to make up for that mistake.
