I age.

Watched Wake Up Dead Man and drank some nice whiskey for birthday reasons and also just because.
Drawfee video animation still from the intro of Artists Draw Goku in Different Styles. A drawing of Julia sealed inside a capsule, with a speech bubble from her saying "I age."

I was at pretty location watching some awesome people get married, and got to wear a suit about it.
Me sitting at a table outside, wearing a back vest and pants, white button down shirt and teal brocade tie. I'm smiling at the camera. I'm sitting at a table outside, distracted on my phone and smiling. Wearing a black suit, white button down shirt and teal brocade tie. I am kissing my spouse's cheek. It has bright teal hair and a teal striped tie. My teal tie matches its hair. Me and my spouse standing under a white wooden arch in front of the ocean. We're both smiling. It is wearing a white button down shirt, teal striped tie, and black pants. I am wearing a black suit, white button down shirt, and teal brocade tie.

I had one of those really good work days where stuff I did was successful and things went better than expected, but also--
Tumblr post by chipper-smol. A drawing of a keyed-up fox with very wide-eyes and a wide-stance, surrounded by the words in all caps: for legal reasons I can't say shit.

There's flowers in my yard and seeing that they bloomed always makes me a little happier.
An array of red flowers with yellow interiors, growing in a rocky garden.

23. Hanging up art in my house, and just the relief of being able to make a space my own.
Two posters side by side. The first, an explosion of Drawfee characters alongside animated versions of all the Drawfee crew, surrounding and inside a giant mug with a face. The second, a wall with a giant target, spattered with paintballs, draped in caution tape, under a night sky.

13. Learning new recipes.
A large pan full of simmering mushrooms in a wine and cream sauce on a stovetop. On the countertop next to it is a plate of chicken. It is Chicken Marsala in progress.
