#writting this is sensory therapy

I was supposed to work this morning, instead I began another OS for the young Newt series...

And what was supposed to be a short introduction (as the series is centered around Newt and his grandparents, not his parents) is already up to 2K... But I love baby Newt 🤷 (Yes, this is my only defense)

Unfortunately, her husband was right, and Evalyn began seeking Newt, who, of course, didn’t suspect that with the return of summer weather came the inescapable social events. As often always, the showering process turned out to be challenging, and accompanied with disapproval. 

“Don’t want a shower Mum… It hurts.”

“Foal, we have to. Your father’s reception begins in one hour. We don’t have time for a bath.” Newt pouted, a sound midway between a grinding and a moan coming out of his throat. 

“Love, what about … let me think … we add some aquatic glow-worms to the water ?” asked Evalyn. 

She took her wand to gush a few of them, imprisoned in little drops of water. In an instant, the young wizard’s focus redirected to the droplets whose shape changed with the moves of the creatures inside. The latter gleamed with a golden-brown light, which sometimes flickered. The child, flabbergasted, looked at them with his head tilted, as if he wanted to memorize them forever. Fascinated, he raised his hand to one of the magical bulbs made of water, which silently blew to pieces, resulting in a myriad of sparkling particles which deposited on his body, splashing him in the process. In the dimness of the room, only lit up by a few candles, the fragments became flecks, glistening like the bioluminescent phytoplankton described in one of his grandparents' books. If he first pulled his hand back as if he had burnt himself, he began after that to explode several water bubbles in a row.

I feel a lil bit better today after getting some rest in. I always feel better when I can spend a day at home. I think tomorrow I'll wear my noise cancelling headphones or something so I can chill even more.

...funny how my way to chill is just trying to eliminate all external stimuli
