flamebyrdI feel like I've been coasting on neutral for a while, so here are some random good things in my life to remind myself that there are things to talk about.
* I made a large pot of ultra strong T2 Sticky Choc Chai, adulterated with extra loose leaf Ceylon tea, and froze it in 1/2 cup portions. Now I can just defrost one with some milk and extra water and have chai without the trouble! It's really good.
* Had my second Pfizer dose on Monday. Spent Tuesday in a feverish haze but was feeling decent again by Wednesday. You go, little immune system!
* Finished Chicory: A Colorful Tale with my spouse and thoroughly enjoyed it. I haven't quite got 100% of the things yet but I'm pretty close! I wanted to do a full reaction post but to be honest, I don't have a lot to say. The soundtrack has been bringing me great joy and brightening my workdays.
* On that note, I got a new contract for part time work until the end of the year. This is ideal, because I'm also studying.
* I got this set of photopolymer stamps for swatching watercolours, which I loved so much I immediately ordered a stamp and die set to do individual colour swatches. It's shipping from the USA so it will be A While before it arrives, but I am looking forward to having some neatly categorised swatches.
* Speaking of things that are shipping from overseas that I won't see for a while, I ordered Yet More Watercolours and am impatiently waiting for them to arrive. Relatedly, I'm also waiting for a new palette to arrive because I've run out of room in my existing one...
* I also bought more materials for making greeting cards! Would anybody like to receive a random card in the mail?
