Listening to the inauguration speech like...

ReDawn revelation

Did Alanik really just imply that Tolkien preserved some of her people's language in the Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit?!

Thoughts on Rhythm of War...

(Semi-spoilers? Trying to keep it clean...)

-I cannot believe I just finished Rhythm of War and I'm about to start on Wind and Truth already.

-I cannot believe Taravangian... and that Cultivation thought that would actually work/help/make things better somehow

-Adolin has grown on me so much

-"WE CHOSE!"

-Chapter 85 about Dabbid had me 😭

-Chapter 104 had me screaming MOASH YOU F@#$ING BASTARD TRAITOR NOOOOOOOO that was awful

-It's funny that Lyft had the flute

-So many good quotes and conversations of course, like the one between Noril, Kaladin and Teft in Chapter 25 about darkness

-Navani "Don't let his lies become your truth"

-Syl's assertion that hair is gross because it oozes out of little holes and you just let it sit there 😂

- I'm still not sure how I feel about Venli

-I really liked how they ended things with Eshonai

- LOVED what happened with Rlain and the spren

Please send thoughts and prayers and luck as I start Wind and Truth 😅

Graffiti

There used to be graffiti in the town where I live, many years ago, that said "All hail the Crimson King" written in red spray paint on a sign. I often think about it. It's worn away, not really visible anymore but still kind of there. This was long before the movie came out, back when I thought I was the only teenager in the world who read The Dark Tower series, and then became a young adult who still thought I was alone in liking and rereading that series over and over. Did the person who wrote the graffiti read those books? Or was it in reference to something else? Why can't I stop thinking about it?

A Christmas Carol (Doctor Who Style)

Happy Winter Solstice everyone! A day late...I was too busy watching our absolute favorite Doctor Who episode of all time yesterday with my husband in honor of the solstice, it's our yearly tradition. So many great lines, I could just recite the whole episode 😍 "Well done everyone, we're halfway out of the dark."

Share your favorite quote from this Christmas special with me in the notes!

"There are 4,003 people I won't allow to die tonight. Do you know where that puts you?"

Absolutely!!

just wanted to share the National Down Syndrome Society’s message for this year’s World Down Syndrome Day (21st March) 💛💙

This is true for my 5-year-old, we have this conversation nightly and she has to be reassured that we won't be around when the moon recedes from the earth in 100,000 years and when the sun burns out 😅 Though her science book said it's more like 4 billion years...

One of those days

Today is one of those days "I took the Tylenol at 2:30 and again at 6:15 I took the ibuprofen at 4:30 so I can take that again at 8:30" I can't tell if it helps but it's all I can do that and laying on the couch with a heating pad trying to read and distract myself feeling horribly guilty about all the house work and other stuff that needs to get done that's not getting done feeling nauseous and exhausted no spoons but knowing I can't sleep or do more than doze off for a few minutes before the pain wakes me up wondering if I should take the stronger pain medicine the doctor gave me but very nervous about it wondering again what the fuck is causing this pain is it kidney endometriosis the birth control doesn't seem to be helping that much I was told it was hydronephrosis caused by UPJ an obstructed ureter but what caused THAT it only started when my daughter was about 6 months old she's 6.5 years now so that's 6 years of sporadic debilitating pain maybe something post pregnancy related I guess

All we know is it's not kidney stones tried a ureteral stent that was a nightmare and didn't help trying the birth control the obgyn will only check for endometriosis by going in through the front but all my pain is in one spot in the back exactly where my right kidney is the kidney doctor won't operate until my kidney function gets worse its only a little bad right now so I'm stuck second guessing and wondering people think maybe it's just a muscle thing but I don't see how that's possible always in the same place on and off sometimes for a few days or sometimes just a day for years now always along with nausea and exhaustion heating pad doesn't really help either maybe IBS flare-up coincides it's hard to tell maybe PMDD often happens the week before my period but not always and sometimes (like now) the week of or the week after or any random time of the month often on Tuesdays I have no idea why stress related maybe I just know when it hits I want someone to cut this fucking kidney out of me and be done I'm so tired
