My perfect reading and writing space is one of those giant plush massive three person wide chairs next to a large window, with a lap desk or tray desk for my laptop. Some sort of side table holding a lamp or a floor lamp for illumination and a sweet kitty snoozing at my side, I’d want a fan going and a nice blanket to snuggle under if I get cold.
Extra bonus points if there’s either milky tea or boba black milk tea, or a large zero sugar cream soda. That along with some of what I call “French Dinner”, which is basically a charcuterie board without the board, would be perfect.

4 Days Till Christmas
1/2 Cup of Applesauce Used in Gingerbread Cake
Good Yule to you all!
Four days till Christmas and I’m celebrating Yule with my Pathfinder people. I made a gingerbread cake this morning and I like it well enough to eat a full slice but I don’t know if I’d make the same recipe the same way the second time around.

3 Minutes Late to Work
I’m on a manic upswing right now and everything feels like it’s in all caps.

What cities do you want to visit?
Thee is such a long list. London, New York, Narragansett, Salem, Los Angeles, Denver, maybe New Orleans again. Definitely a few places in Europe and the Mediterranean. Mexico City, too, someday.

Tell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc.
My first day sober was hell. It was the morning of my 21st birthday. I had flown the day before to Chicago with a bottle of Tullmore Dew in my checked baggage.
I had withdrawal symptoms for over a month, but I stayed sober. I’m selectively drinking these days. I have Rules, and usually just stick to Shirley Temples or cherry Coke Zero if I want a non-water beverage.
What skills or lessons have you learned recently?
Is learning I still can’t juggle well count as a skill learned??? I’m really trying.
