First sub zero run is out of the way, and so far so good! Fueled by turkey curry, roasted chestnuts, and sweet pears, the weather can't keep this balkanlander down

Day one of jetlag recovery: everything hurts. Tired, nauseous, confused, crampy, and missing my friends. Showed up for a run because what's the point of these bodies if not to enjoy the time we get to the utmost

My last American Diner breakfast of this trip has come and gone in all of seven minutes.
Until next time, Diners. I'll be back. I'll conquer your potatoes. You'll never get rid of me.

Grateful to friends whose gifts cover a broad range of my special interests and keep me company when I'm blue because I miss them.
Strength training, The Night Land art, and unusual chocolate truffles actually make more sense as a combo than you'd think 😅

Summary of @voidcon.bsky.social: life doesn't owe us much and publishing even less, every chance we get to live new things, be happy in these skins, and love on our people is gravy.
Appreciate the Void for giving us gravy time. They did a great job and looked cool doing it.
Hail Void crew!

Soon, The Night Ship is touching down, and I need your help. As an editor, the task below the bottom of the list is always promoting my own work, even though it means so very much to me. So if you think you'd like to review this, or blurb it, or heck, catapult a copy at your enemies?
Hit me up.
