I caught the golden hour the other night.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Yup

I ended up having a really lovely day yesterday. I went out with two of my dearest friends. I got two compliments randomly as well. 🥰 I received a lovely Christmas present. Saw wild swans in a field and went to our sweet little downtown for an appletini. Just what I needed!

I am not sure what to do today. I feel really blue and zero motivation to work on my classwork for my PhD. I have been feeling like this since I had to say goodbye to my doggy on Monday. I am just sad. Not sure how to get going, i have stuff I have to do. 🥺

Sooo, I got braces on my teeth on Monday, just in time for the Christmas season. Anybody have any suggestions for soft Christmas treats I could make? (My PMS sticks — pretzel rods dipped in caramel and chocolate are out this year. 🥺) Not entirely sure I can ear mincemeat pies either. 😭 Recipes??

Without downloading any new pics, describe your vibe for today using an image from your gallery.

Sooooo good!

More winter pretties.

First snow ❄️ of the season!

COYW!! Crikey Fulham, I can’t believe how they have rallied!!

All I want for Christmas… 🤣😂 www.instagram.com/reel/DO3d3Lj...

I got braces on my teeth today. I also have lovely glue dot thingies on my back molars so that I don’t bite my brackets off, which means I am unable to close my teeth all of the way. Fun times. Just in time to for Christmas. 🎄

We are going to have to let go of our sweet doggy tomorrow. I wish we could have taken her in sooner. Damn Thanksgiving holiday and no open vet offices. I hate seeing her lying so still and not eating. I feel like we have failed her and we should have taken her last week. 😭

Well, I am glad Fulham managed to hang on, especially since I slept through most of the second half. 😝

Well, Fullham are looking rather sparky today!! COYW!

How do you organize your books? Alphabetically? By genre? Favorites closest? Size? (People who organize them by color…don’t even talk to me.)

I got to try Welsh rarebit when I was in London. It was a LOT of cheese but delicious. Does anyone know what would be the best kind of cheese (available in the US) to use if I wanted to try to make it?

I fell in love with this shop in York. I may need a pic of that very proper badger.

It has come to my attention that flapjacks in the UK are not the same as in the US. Just another delightful difference between our cultures. 😊🥞🥞🥞

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you have been to: Pop Will Eat Itself Depeche Mode Indigo Girls/Brandi Carlisle Tears for Fears NIN

I have just realized I have one more day left in London and have not yet had fish and chips! Horrors! There may still be time!!

Probably the best thing you’ll read on Bluesky this month! 🤣😂

@midlifegamergeek.com and I met for dinner tonight. We got each other presents and immediately started laughing! This is what happens when geeks get geeking. 😆🤣

Stunning day for scones by the Thames.

Today was eventful. I ended up on the Piccadilly Line somehow. Not my usual tube entrance that I have had at Heathrow before. So fine, took it. Only for it to have an unavoidable closure. So everyone booted off of the train at Boston House stop. Ended up sharing a cab into the city with two women.

Supper was smack-me-in-the-face filthy. Not sure it was worth braving the insanity of Borough Market to get it though. 🤣

Lovely view from where I am staying. 😍

Tomorrow. The plane. ✈️

When you're cleaning our your cupboards and find that old sea otter you thought you'd lost years ago.

It was death by breakfast this weekend. Hot beignets and then a sweet potato, potato, kale, onion scramble with eggs and hollandaise on top.

It is 3am. I am awake. Maybe I will go make sweet potato, butternut squash and ginger soup. 🤔

Pumpkin chocolate chip muffins for (now) 17’s birthday.

Another shot of the Northern Lights because why not?

I mean, I am trying to reset my body clock to UK time, but waking up at 1am my time was not ideal. So do I just take advantage of this and get out of bed now or try to go back for sleep for a bit?

My best pic of the Northern Lights above my house tonight!

I missed the art show this weekend, but thanks to my best friend, my piece was sold! 🥰

Trying to decide between seeing Othello, Totoro, or Witness for the Prosecution when I am in London. I am already going to see A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Thoughts!💭 I have heard Othello all three are pretty amazing.

I’ll be in London in two more weeks. Insanity!! 😱

Finished this one for a postcard art show. All the pieces will be auctioned and $$ donated to our local food bank. #watercolor #painting

Another painting.

Re-watching Poldark as I wait for all of the Slow Horses episodes to drop.

Another painting in progress. Nearly done. Just need to finish the mushrooms and a few other bits.

To the brown-nosing shit-weasel in my class, I will not play your reindeer games! (Sometimes you just need a passive-aggressive little rage posting.)

I think it’s mostly done. #overthrgardenwall

I need music suggestions to listen to while studying! Studying models of instructional design is going to lead to a slow death! I need help staying awake! Preferably no words and house/techno.

I am contemplating getting out of London when I am in the UK next month. What’s a good place to eat in York? (I may be meeting a friend from uni there.)
