If I'm going to attempt to predict the future and explain bizarre human behavior with complicated patterns pieced together obsessively over time, I'd rather it be learning Astrology instead of trying to get to know Yet Another Man.

Practice chorale music (less than two weeks to concert), edit images, eat handrolled chocolate truffles for dinner.

Obligatory Product Photography Session Selfie.

IYKYK.

Tell me I'm pretty and send (gluten-free) tacos.

The next two days are going to have me cross eyed from photography and editing.

I am whatever listening to this song on repeat to keep functioning is:

I have no idea why I woke up at 7am with my heart racing from adrenaline dumped in my blood stream, but I do know that, one, I didn't fall asleep until after 3am, and two, I am TIRED.

Thank goodness for The Ordinary's Squalane and Motion's project templates & scheduling.

Saving my skin *and* sanity today.

Just learnt about a new critter: Brazilian jewelled tarantula.
OMG

You know, taken as a whole, I am the good kind of terrifying.

I like that. I should really do more with this.

I do not *need* a Brazilian Jeweled Tarantula as a pet, but I *really* want one.

Must focus on work, not new spider frens.

Someone is going to hate me for this, but I think I'm keeping this one for myself.

It's been years since I've kept one of my own pens.

He asked to see me again late Weds night - suggested Friday or Saturday. I said I'd be open to figuring it out. He said we'd try and figure it out tomorrow.

I texted early that morning that I could do Friday.

He texted about random stuff during the day. Gamed with friends that evening.

Look, if you want to see me, figure out the appropriate summoning ritual & tools, and then *summon me.*

I do realize it's telling on myself, naming my favorite material colorway Power, but you can't tell me the name doesn't fit. 😍

Kim, why are you terminally online?

I keep posting to try and maintain line-of-sight so my friends don't forget me. 😅

The calibration pen for the Winter 2025 design worked. I have electroforming numbers now, and now it's time to run the actual prototype to make sure the cap and body will fit together.

I am working as fast as physics & chemistry allow; it does not feel fast enough. Has to be though.

I am the kind of decision fatigue & bodily tired where I can't even fathom why anyone would want to spend time with me or enjoy my company/presence.

The debuff is total.

And I'm still working because I am seriously fucking tired of people asking me when I'll have new work ready & want it to stop.

There's still a few of these left, by the way.

I have shipped all orders (several days ago) but USPS is showing as label created and nothing more.

I LITERALLY HANDED SOME OF THOSE PACKAGES TO MY CARRIER.

We are not pleased.

I wish I didn't miss talking to someone who ended up being otherwise bad for my health and stability.

It's new ridiculously beautiful and amazing pen day courtesy of @abigailmarkov.com

Moon Phase Fountain Pen. So sparkly, threads so smooth, like looking into the dark reaches of space and seeing the motes of color at play amongst the stars.

I really should not be surprised that my nutritional everything is off after almost two weeks of barely being able to eat or drink.

Am I mildly irked? Yes.
