It's been humid still, of which I'm not a fan but that's the official weather diagnosis, so I feel at least like I am not complaining about it being more humid than I'm used to here without cause. I am not a creature who should live on moss and be misted, please give me sand to bathe in.
Despite the ambient damp I checked off all the things on my to-do this week, including:
- Finished the owlbear puppet process video, I'll try to remember to promote it this week.
- Dug through quite a lot of delightfully cringeworthy videos from high school with the intent of pulling some that I still think are funny out to share.
- Cut out the fabric for a new pair of shorts, back on my fibre arts bingo game.
- I've been very good about my inbox, which is a particular quagmire as it is part of my memory and task system PLUS I've begun emailing friends more.
- The latest newsletter went out and it's one I've got the most kind words about, which is all glowy-lovely.
- This week's blogpost is a bookpost, so check out some recent favourite reads of mine, they're: varied.
- As usual, a new update to The Consoling Divide is up and subscribers got their three-weeks-ahead preview.
It's HIGHLY possible I may get all the desired to-dos I wrote down at the start of the year done this year which would be very cool! I probably won't but it's neat to feel like it's possible!! I am behind on some writing ones but that's because I had to go and think of a whole-ass book to write, lol.
Anyway, thank you as always for your support! May your substrate be as damp as is healthy for you.
