Instead of the dumpster fire bird app, my favorite bird app is the Finch app. Helps me manage daily tasks and self-care. And today my little Finch friend discovered one of my favorite facts about birds! Yes...birds are dinosaurs!

I kind of wish I had not spent what energy I had for the day vacuuming...but I don't dread looking at the floor now.

I've been working on something for a week, and now that it's finished... I hate it.

Who put those greens together?!
Oh. I did.

Well, it was a learning experience!

Decorating in a family mixed with agnostics, pagans, and Christians is...an experience.

I've worked out the details with the biggest Star Wars fan in the house, and we've decided I'll be making a Star Wars nativity scene for Christmas this year.

I know I've been feeling cranky lately, but this is a new level for me. I just walked through the house, saw no family members, and said to my cat when I got to my room, "I don't want to see people anyway. People are ugly and make noise."

Cat says I'm not wrong.

A string of things has kept me from playing my ukulele for a few months. Long enough for my fingertips to go soft again. And I'm in one of the worst arthritis flare-ups I've ever known.

But I played today. And it HURT. But the ukulele sang... And it was so worth it.

Now I just need to put new strings on my guitar and explain to my cat why we don't play with them her way.

Okay. Once I got to writing, talking about psychological masks was even more complicated than I expected. Trying to explain that not all autistic people are intense maskers, nonautistic people often mask more than they realize, and keeping the focus on what the mask charm indicates in a #divination reading...

I did the best I could without going too deep. Also tried to be clear about that "not going too deep".

I was reading last night about what the Carpathia's crew and travelers did to get to the Titanic and rescue people. I had never heard this before. This is the Titanic story I want somebody to make a movie about!

Looking at my schedule and photos, and it turns out the next post I'm writing for my divination Substack is about masking. Whoo! That's a big one!

And now my brain is saying, "But this could be a longer list!" 😄
