#AND ANOTHER THING the library has been doing adult crafternoons again and im so excited for this months!

[asexualbookbird]

Look what's back! I actually managed to read a fair amount this month, so I have something to wrap up for once. I also had a good month on socializing! I think, after eight (cannot believe I've lived here eight years what is time) years, I finally have local friends! We started an old school D&D group and I'm having a lot of fun so far! I also? Watched movies?? Who am I. Energy levels have tanked again, so maybe that has something to do with it lmao

I was very disappointed I didn't enjoy Ghost Roads, but I started the Middlegame audiobook as well so I got my Seanan fix this month with that plus newest Wayward Children. School Idol Festival is closing down for good at the end of March which is devastating since I've been playing since 2015, but maybe? Hopefully?? They're going to have a data transfer for the new game in April! I really hope the gameplay is at least similar, it's such a unique rhythm game!

Discovering I can make my favorite chicken katsu curry at home, for like 10$ has been life changing tbh. The curry blocks probably aren't the healthiest but WHO CARES IT'S DELICIOUS! I also successfully recreated the mushroom bao I had in NYC back in October! My bao shaping needs work, but the taste is there!

I actually have some crafts lined up for February (that I can't talk about) (I'm so behind on holiday gifts lolsob), so I'm excited to continue working on those! I have a small library stack to read, and I'd like to join the buddy read for The Unspoken Name. I've also finally reached the point where I can look into getting driving permit and license so I need to get my butt into gear for that. Scary.

Happy Palentine's Day! Don't forget to go get half priced candy!
