Llama and I drove from Madison to a town called Steven’s Point to visit Herrshner’s. It’s an amazing craft warehouse with an attached retail store. It is absolutely a danger zone for people like me, people that are multi-crafters.

When I was younger, my favorite website was the Ask Jeeves search engine. If that doesn’t throw you into the way back machine, I don’t know what will.
I also really enjoy reading from AO3. That is the shorthand for the website “Archive of Our Own”.

This blog of mine went live in the immediate wake of my diagnosis as bipolar back in autumn of 2018. It is an online haven of my struggles, successes, trials, adventures, mishaps, and medical/therapudic experiences. It’s not for everyone, and that’s okay.

The historical event I find fascinating is Little Ice Age (LIA) of the North Atlantic area that spanned about four and a half centuries.
