Get you a friend who prints out and mails you your own post when shipping you a signed book so you can use that as a bookmark XD thank you, @anotherindiewriter.com, I love it lol.
A piece of paper with one of my posts printed on it. The paper is roughly torn along the bottom to make the paper approximately bookmark sized. The post reads: "You'd think someone who owns literally thousands of books would have more bookmarks on hand but somehow I'm always using a receipt or a sticky note" A picture of S.

I don't sit on my balcony enough so I'm doing it tonight because birthdays are special and this is my house, dammit

At my first ever author event :D it's actually an award ceremony for a local writing competition, but I'll still get to speak a little about my books and hopefully sell some!

Little confidence boost: my phone correctly identified the song I was playing on the piano :D

For anyone unfamiliar with my books, this is the scene that inspired the artwork lol:
“Why are we meeting them at a grocery store?” I asked. Hazel shrugged. “Emily wanted to see us, in person, now, and that's where they are, apparently.” I decided not to keep asking “Why?” like a sugared-up toddler and just park the car, following Hazel inside. "She says they're by the cereal," Hazel said, checking her phone. I followed her through the unfamiliar store. We spotted them halfway down the aisle. Derek was reading the back of a box, one hand on the grocery cart beside him. Emily sat in the cart, legs crossed, typing away madly on a new phone. Not her phone—that was perched beside her on a bag of rice, and instantly recognizable by its shiny purple case. “Why are you in a shopping cart?” I asked her as we approached. She looked up. “Derek got a new phone.” I raised my eyebrows. “...I feel like I'm missing crucial information here.” Emily returned her attention to the phone. “Derek got a new phone, and it needs to be set up. He doesn't want to set it up, so he asked me to do it. I said okay, but then he needed to go grocery shopping and I tagged along because if his phone isn't set up now, I can't properly antagonize him at all hours of the day. And I know he'll forget to do it for a least three days if I leave him to his own devices. But, I didn't want to walk around looking at a phone and bumping into stuff, so I said I'd set up his phone if I could sit in the grocery cart while he did his shopping, which is why I'm in here like a five-year-old." "Good thing you're about the same size as one,” Derek said. Emily rolled her head around to glare at him. "What?" he said. “You are." She threw a bag of chips at him and he caught it, laughing. "I'm sorry, I thought there was something important you had to tell us? In person? Immediately?" Hazel asked, failing to hide her amusement.

The lovely @anotherindiewriter.com commissioned this from my sister, who did a fantastic job bringing this scene to life. I'm touched and I love it so much :3

Also: she and my brother each gave me a cute little crochet creature, and I keep them in my room because, you know, I love my kids.

She went and got them to add them to my tree because she knows how much it means to me 🥹

To be loved is to be changed. And for the better.

And little by little, it heals me. She heals me. Probably more than she'll ever realize.

Life is hard but love makes it good.

Anyway, now I get to have a pretty Christmas tree :)

The young ones stay close to the adults for safety.
More purple ube pies; 4 regular sized ones and three mini ones. They're sitting on the stovetop with the three little ones on a cooling rack on the counter right beside the stovetop.

Tiny pie
A very small pie, about 2.5" in diameter, sitting alone in a regular sized oven. The pie is purple as it's an ube pie.

Been meaning to share for about a week: got my copy of #Woodpusher by @anotherindiewriter.bsky.social! I love this book and I'm excited it's out in the world!

My house continues to get cooler
Me smiling sitting in front of a very cool old chess set. Behind me is a big silver clock, a piano with a big plant on it, and a harp.
