- Honestly cant believe it took me this long to finally watch The Ugly Stepsister. Brutal, gorgeous, thought-provoking, and heart breaking. Absolutely loved it.
- Realized we were out of foil to cover a dish I was cooking in oven and had a brief moment of "what the heck did people do before foil??" and then remembered I have several dutch ovens. Done.

- The online fat-shaming of my pitty/pig/hippo is equal parts mean and accurate 🙄 Yes, I know she’s chonky, SHE knows she’s chonky. No, she doesn’t need a diet, she eats a moderate, monitored amount already. She’s fine, and she loves you Just know I have shared all your positive comments with her 😊

- Crazy deals at Morrison's. So that's 2 vegan breakfasts? No thanks. We'll have 1 vegan breakfast, and then another 1 please.
- I miss writing erotica. I haven't written for fun in a really long time. Partially I'm just not inspired (thanks psych meds), partially I'm nervous because the "meta" has certainly changed a lot since I was actively writing. I think next time I have the urge, it'd be healthy for me to do it.

- I am not used to being well ahead of a deadline but... I think I have almost finished my book save inserting images and doing a final edit? With over three weeks to spare? New year, new me!
- I went to the nearest Barnes & Noble and awkwardly explained to someone at the help desk that I had a new book out and asked where it might be (it's genre fluid) and it was faced out (!) Then she took some pictures, had me sign their books, and said they'd already sold a copy. A win/win/win.
