I have not been great at this.. ha ha ha...but its fine, I don't have a ton to say I gues!

I read three more KJ Charles books (Specterd Isle, Band Sinister, and Death in the Spires). The continue to be very fun! There is also an excellent fan community that I am enjoying very much.

I also read Blood in the Machine, a book about the Luddites and the modern tech revolution, which had some really interesting stuff that was really engaging and in other parts was more of a slog. And today I finished Becky Chambers A Psalm for the Wild Built, which was a cozy light little novella that I think would have been better if I had never read Braiding Sweetgrass, because I am just looking at the relationships of people to the world in that and going 'no you could do better than that actually' when it is supposed to be utopic. But I still enjoyed it and grabbed the sequel. For 'cozy books with low stakes plot focused around cozy beverages" I enjoyed it better than Legends and Lattes, possibly just because I am a Tea Person more than a Coffee Person.  I'll tackle the sequel next, and then I have Daisy Jones & the Six and then probably back to a couple more KJC and then who knows!  Probably my hold on Godkiller will come in again while I'm in the middle of something else long of have a queue piling up and I will out it back into circulation again :p

I realized I never did post links to all the things I wrote for the Rare Kink Buffet but, it's all on my AO3 :x  I also did post my long (for me) plotty Adventure World thing which 7 whole people have looked at and maybe half that actually read.  It is okay, its fine.  I'm not a popular taste, I'm a speicialty one.  or something.  IDK.  Despite being in my feelings forever about never figuring out how to entice people to read the things I write that I get super invested in, I have turned around and started a massive spin-off slow burn fic about a character I created whole cloth for the last one.  So even more of a niche audience.  I'm a good 7k into it already, ha ha ha.  This will be the 10th thing I have written, even that is over 10k.  I do this to myself, literally no one else is asking for it :V 

Family homes things continue to continue.  Probably no one is going to sell my home out from under me at this juncture, but I also doubt my housemate will actually ever move out either, because they also can't afford it.  So meanwhile they do things like have week-long visitors and never wash a single dish.  And my sister twisted her ankle, so I have been doing extra dog duty as well.  This is fine when it is nice and I can just go out in the back and kick a ball around with Hades and he is happy.  The yard is greening up, and my wild strawberries and sweetgrass are going mad, and lots of plant that may not even be terrible plants are coming up in place I want them too!  But also of of terrible plants.  who will will: catmint vs bellflower -_-  Possibly I have forgotten with knapweed looks like, or else I really have made a major dent in it, finally.  I need to get a garden fork to deal with some of this stuff more effectively.

Oh, I also got my tax return!  I treated myself to a new Fancee Pillow, which arrived yesterday, some nice hand lotion, and diner for the fam.  And then I had to buy a bunch of dog stuff and was immediately poor again.  But not in debt, so I'll take it.

Anyway, I am watching Fangs of Fortune very slowly with Nary and Kennesaw, and we are scheduled to do a few more eps imminently. 

And also - I signed up for Jukebox and I already have offers for my songs and found some cool stuff to offer.  So, yay!  and now, off I go for TV times.
