pick up the pieces again

pick up the pieces again

Good morning, y’all. It’s Monday morning, we’ve been up for a little bit because Podrick took a cuckoo clock down from the wall. That cat seems determined to destroy everything in my life.

This little nuthatch has been taunting Podrick all week.

I kept things simple yesterday, and got stuff done. Shawshank left for work, and I put on some makeup. I set things up for a quick photo shoot, and spent about 30 minutes doing that. I did some preliminary editing on things while I soaked in the tub last night.

Once I was in real clothes again, I set up in the living room and streamed on TikTok for a couple of hours. Chat wasn’t very busy, but I had some regulars come through to check in after the holidays. Well, y’all, the holidays sucked because everything I ordered with plenty of time still arrived too late, Shawshank‘s not going to like at least one present, and the gift I sent my mom broke in transit and subsequently destroyed the gift from his mom; shit’s been swell, thanks for asking.

I played Balatro for an hour or so, each attempt worse than the last. Eventually, I gave up on cards, said goodbye to the people watching, and logged out to play Red Dead Redemption. I spent the rest of the afternoon exploring and hunting. Fuck fast travel, all I need is my horse (or someone else’s) and the open sky. I think I advanced my hunting skill by two levels; oddly enough, killing five wolves with my knife was the easiest test.

Shawshank has today off, so we’re doing homebody things. We have 100ft 50ft of lights to hang up in the bedroom, and gifts to wrap and exchange.
