Roxy, Mizz Rose

My heart is broken by the terrible loss of minoanmiss. I met her in fandom in my early DCU days, something like 23 years ago, and once in person in 2009, and always treasured her friendship. Rest in peace and power, love. Hugs to all who grieve her passing.

I don't think I LIKED any of these, but the 'verse is interesting? I get the feeling that he cares far more about gaming out his worldbuilding than he does his actual characters, which is no way to write a novel/series.

Finished the orange and blue kickbunny. Missed yarn group yet again. Started the Easter carrots. Worked a little on the kickbunny for the kitten academy momcat. The long term commission for 2 kickbunnies turned into a priority commission, so I'm rapidly working on that instead of more carrots. Sold an under the door toy. And 2 more catnip-silvervine hearts that I have to make. Oof! I'm grateful for the sales, but wtf is going on with the deluge? I mean, SEVENTEEN things to make!! Most ASAP!

augh
dad had yet another bad fall Monday night, but, knock wood, I haven't yet been asked to go up and help out. These deadlines make that problematic.

General malaise. Epic brain fog. Continuing vertigo. The internet tells me that a repeatedly bitten tongue can develop white keratosis (like your fingernails) to protect it. I keep biting the wound, which is why I still have an ulcer just under my tongue, way back by my molars. /whine. Also, I didn't get my healthcare coverage renewed before it expired, so I'm having to wrangle that while feeling like crap. :(

+ voted in the TX primary yesterday. Learned I was gerrymandered into a new congressional district minutes before voting, so I had to choose a new rep.
+ Look out for local anti-war protests in your area.
+ March 5: Fighting and Winning Against Trump's Concentration Camps - Mass Call
+ March 28: #50501 No Kings Protest #3

I hope you're all doing as well as can be expected. <333

books
The Tyrant Philosophers #1: City of Last Chances by Adrian Tchaikovsky. 2022. Incredibly hard to tell the characters apart. Hard to get into. Not sure if I'm going to give book 2 a try.

The Vampire Lestat
The new trailer is out! So much to look forward to!

yarning
Missed yarn group again. Made a new Rockstar Lestat, so slowly. Sold 2 bunnies, a catnip kiss, and a catnip heart where I had to order the yarn to make it in a hurry yesterday. And sold a made to order bunny that I'm working on now. Still haven't started the Easter carrots order. No progress on the bunny for the new kitten academy momcat, who gave birth last night. New commissions on 2 more kickbunnies for down the line.

healthcrap
Still feeling super crummy. Tongue hurts. No energy. Migraine yesterday. Vertigo is slightly better.

Mercury Retrograde
Mercury stations retrograde today (in Pisces) and stations direct March 20. Plus there's an eclipse in Mercury-ruled Virgo in a few days. That's a lot of communications trouble coming our way.
