Pentiment is so great! I only wish there was a way to restart the game partway through, rather than play from the beginning, to see the different outcomes.
No illusions that anyone might like it or want it. No illusions that it might be delicious, or that I'll ever make it again. It certainly won't make anyone "happy." Just checking this box that I hadn't gotten around to checking before: yes I have made proper fed fruitcake for Christmas. So there.
I will do my diligence and ask people what they want, but the answers will be shrugs (except that the kid probably wants a box-mix cake.)

This means anything and everything I bake for the holidays, I am baking for me. I NEVER made a proper, "fed" fruitcake, so here we are.
As an overconfident 20-something, safe in the knowledge that no one cared what I did for Christmas, I made some amazing things. Crystallized peel. Stollen. Gingerbread houses.

In my mid-40s, with a picky kid, keto parents, and a husband without specific desires, I am once again free.
I'm old enough to feel some dread, too. Trying to find ways to mitigate it.
Oh lord, it's over. The holiday season has begun.

I'm old enough that I'm not sure how I feel about that anymore but... it's begun!
Alt: a fingerbone candle, a corner of a carved jack o lantern, pumpkin lights strung in the window. Real lights off so they glow.
Late spring, so that should come soon but... I can't get the Big Wind Storm event that will give me the raccoon shop! This is an OLD save file and I've played about ten days in it with no luck so far. Hope it happens soon.
I BOUGHT THE CLOCK!!!

But last time I played I had just cut down all the trees in the forest, and now I need like 50 moss to do the new crafting stuff so fml.
Omg there are new crafting recipes fml

Have you heard that crows can recognize human faces... and that they hold a grudge, maybe for years?

Ever wonder how we can *know* that?

The answer:
Halloween costumes 🎃 & some innovative UW scientists working over decades, led by John Marzluff, co-author of "In the Company of Crows and Ravens".

Ghosts in the tank 👻

Made glowing and translucent ones too
Happy Halloween! Acquired fancy coffee, planning to play Stardew Valley later because it's been forever and I'm close to 100%. I don't think I've seen the seasonal outfits, if that tells you how long.

Happy Halloween! The rather scary looking Roos Carr figures with their quartzite eyes. Dating to the late Bronze Age or early Iron Age, the figures are part of the collections at the Hull and East Riding Museum of Archaeology. 📸 My own. #Halloween #Prehistory #Yorkshire
The planner that works for me is a weekly spread that is OPEN on my desk all the time so I can't help but see it. I possess this and I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT WANT A HOBONICHI INSTEAD. It wouldn't work for me!

It wouldn't!

Really

probably

i mean, maybe...

There are soft pill pouches you could tear apart. Or liquid treats?

Oh in case I haven’t said it lately — there are a lot of museums on BlueSky and you should follow them all! They are interesting and have fun banter with each other! The exact opposite of hostile disinformation!
