Good thing I have the day off because I got next to no sleep last night. I was tired when I went to bed, physically and mentally, yet still only managed a few 20 minute cat naps until about 6am. When I did manage to sleep, my faceless man showed up in my dream. He hasn't been around in a while.

Tonight I go to bed wondering how many friendships I fucked up because I'm not a talker. Messaging is difficult for me, as I have nothing of value or interest to say, so conversations tend to die quickly.

Usually I spend much of a Lisa Kleypas romance giggling because of the characters' personalities and antics. It took till page 190 to get a giggle out of me in Midnight Angel.

I hope they all have the same thought that I do when I finish the first part of a series: "Bitch! I need the next book!!" I do hope they're excited to continue this adventure with my group of wayward dwarves and their pet* human. *Fei is not actually a pet. Don't believe the others.

...I'm not even half way through this book and our hero has already admitted to being in love with the heroine. That doesn't happen very often.

Midnight Angel by Lisa Kleypas, first published in 1995 by Avon Books. Don't let a typo or two make you feel bad, #indieauthors. Even though we all know we die inside when we see them in our books.

Oohhh I detest in romance novels when the catty mistress threatens the love interest/tells her to leave "for his sake". Because usually the woman does something stupid and does end up leaving, which lands her in unnecessary danger.

Getting really tired of forcing my shoulders down every 5 minutes. I really do try to relax, but I swear my body is just incapable of doing so.

I was a good girl 😋 (yes, those are indeed pickles on the one slice. Decided to try my places new chicken shawarma pizza)

Writing scenes out of order. I could absolutely NEVER do this. It goes against everything I am as a person.

...Ned Fulmer of all people is blasting Ethan Klein over his affair. God damn people are so fucking stupid. I only know who these people are because I spend a lot of time online. But holy shit we need to pick our internet celebrities better.

Ew.

I mean, not an email, but definitely to be pulled into the office and told this.

I could go with the obvious and say something earthy, however, the most distinct and recurring smell in the book is oily, frozen metal. The book is better than the smell, I promise. 😅

I can't believe that people still think Reacher or Alan Ritchson are conservative. There is literally a whole book where Reacher kills a bunch of white supremacists. And Alan has ranted about Trump and the bullshit state of affairs in the US right now.

Vacuuming and tidying has been completed. Laundry is washing. I finally get to sit down. My footsies are sore.

My TV has always been possessed. It will turn itself back on almost every night. Lately, though, it has started turning itself off as soon as I turn it on. Stupid thing.

The problem with reading on my breaks at work is that I always get to a spot where the tension is just ramping up, and I have to go back to work.

Okay, I should really go to sleep. NGL, as formulaic and not like her (Lisa Kleypas) other books as Midnight Angel is, I'm still interested in seeing how Luke solves Tasia's problem as a supposed murderer of a prince...Because Big Strong Man solve Little Lady Problems is so common in these books 😅😅

If I am a good girl tomorrow and get my laundry done (including put away), vacuum, and do a general tidy after work, I'll get myself some pizza.

The world may be quite turbulent at the moment, but I think we can all take at least some solace in the fact that libraries, cafés, bookstores, bakeries, museums, and Oxford commas exist.

Confused human fights shadows, helps dwarves.

My toes keep trying to cramp. Watch them actually succeed at 3am so I wake up and end up not being able to fall back asleep. 🫠

I started reading Midnight Angel by Lisa Kleypas. I'm only about 60 pages in, but this one doesn't feel like other books I've read by her. I like her chaotic, quirky heroines, but Taisa does not fit that bill at all.

Drip did the same thing to me that Bad did. First listen was like...well, it's an okay song, but not sure if it'll hit my regular rotation. Then I listened a 2nd time. And now I'm addicted.

I'm just getting back into visual art, but I'll share some of the cross stitches I've done of my characters. I plan on doing most of the cast of World Walkers. Here we have Rohllia, Fei, and Dhorbin.

Two ingredient "dump cake" (because I dunno what else to call it) fresh from the oven! It's literally a can of apple pie filling and a can of Pillsbury cinnamon buns that come with the icing.

I am so freaking sick of everything being touchscreen. I WANT BUTTONS.

I'm gonna be a little popsicle today. In the cooler all day today, and it's not supposed to get warmer than 3°C today.

4 more episodes of JJK down. I feel so bad for Junpei. Nothing like some melancholy before bed -_-

When you think about it, Goku and Yuji are very similar characters. They're both hella strong, kinda dumb, and stubborn to their core. But one wants to be strong for the sake of being strong. The other wants to help and save people.

I seem to be drawn to a certain aesthetic in anime crazy guys.

One thing I don't care for in JJK is some of the scene jumps. The timeline, while cohesive, feels off in some of the skips.

Kento Nanami and William T. Spears would either be BFFs or hate each other's guts. Either way, there would be no overtime.
