Soft stillness. Twinkle lights. Venus in Tuberose. One long exhale. Book of spells. Handwritten heart.
This is a disproportionate reaction to a thing that is truly hurting nobody, but every time I see someone wearing those "sparkle ball" earrings, that song that is all "you're takin' me out of the ORDINARY" starts playing in my head & I feel the urge to flee this entire plane of existence.

When I think about the treatment I used to allow, I remember this always. It’s not until you’ve travelled to the ends of both that you really start to see it.

Me: I’ll watch ONE Christmas themed show while wrapping gifts. Be a little festive.
Me, halfway through: this is making me feel terrible. I miss Halloween.

My two greatest joys and vices? Music and perfume. Often together, marking a day, a year. A feeling.

You know that feeling when you open up your podcasts app and see your absolute favourite is back with THIS!? I might need to save this for a more sacred time. Might need to light a candle. 🥹🕯️

Had a bit of a stressful work day. Looked up & saw that my 6’4” coworker (nobody else can reach that high) slapped this on my window beside the floating agate. Small things are actually the largest.❤️

I consider myself very fortunate to start my Friday with a D&D recap from my boss & coworker that ended with “yes, Jen is familiar with how to successfully draw down the moon.”

Everyone new that I meet assumes I live in one of two “niche” neighbourhoods. I don’t. Who is going to tell them that I prioritize a) never running into anyone I know, and b) trees.

Thinking about upgrading my tiny “one burger” grill that I’ve had for 15+ years to a “two burger” grill. I still live alone, I just deserve two burgers.

Got a new magnet. If you know, you know. I certainly will NOT be explaining “I’m the frontman & you’re the guitarist with mystique” because you either have that coded into your DNA by now or you don’t. If you don’t, look up Lester Bangs and start to get educated. You still have time to be (un)cool.

I fondly remember the days when I’d carefully plan out my outfits before I went to a concert. Now? Whatever I wore to work and then put a hat on it. Fabulous!

Little girl at the grocery store: "I like your coat!!"
Me: "Oh wow, thank you!!"
Her: "It's so furry, can I touch it?"
Me: "Heck yeah, you can."
