I meant to post before today but this week has been flying by.

I've been busy organizing my space and saying goodbye to older things. It's quite freeing to go through boxes of older things and realize that you don't feel any emotional attachments to older books and can let go of them.

Next up is stacks of papers and old diaries and notebooks. I don't know what I'll get rid of or keep it depends on which items make me happy.

I really enjoyed reading Marie Kondo's the Life changing magic of tidying up... so far the bits I'm using from it are going well.

I had therapy today so I talked about the family drama. There's something nice about hearing your therapist say she's fucking proud of you.

The other highlight of today is that Ian brought home a pistachio frappuccino. It was delicious. Sadly it didn't help my headache. Sometimes they do.

My youngest cat, my little black cat, has been spending a lot of time in Brigid's room because she keeps her electric blanket on even when it's not that cold. She plugged in a new air freshener that's vanila scented and my cat's head smells like vanilla.

Brigid made green bean casserole today and it was delicious. I don't like most green bean casseroles but I do like hers.

Tomorrow I'll be making lasagna. I was planning on making it today but my head hurts. Tomorrow night is dnd night and I'll be playing with the metalic dice set that Ian got me for christmas. Hopefully my new character begins to feel more character like because so far I keep thinking how much I miss Minerva my wizard. She's a druid.

I might watch some Doctor Who tomorrow I'm feeling nostalgic. A little Doctor Who rewatch might be what the Ninth Doctor ordered.

Luckily with the drama with my family there are even less people I have to send cards to. I do want to make something special for Ian's birthday in February. But at least that's far away.

Since we'd been moving so frequently we had boxes that had just never been unpacked and I still have more things to go through and put away but our bedroom looks great. Strangely enough I found thanking things that had been useful that I no longer wanted before I put them in the Give Away or Throw Away pile helped me get rid of stuff. I know what you mean about the purse though. When I read that I thought to myself that would never work for me. I have a hard enough time remembering to put things in my purse and bring it in the first place when I go out, let alone remembering to transfer things back into the bag every day.

I agree about the boon that it gave gay pairings and queerbaiting. Hello Johnlock... Although towards the end the Johnlock fandom on Tumblr and Twitter were harassing the actors and crew and insisting to the very end that there was a conspiracy and that Johnlock would be canon so they kind of helped bait themselves. But the lines that the writers wrote into the show were more than once deliberately shippy so I still feel that the writers ship baited a lot but then some people curled up into denial that it wasn't going to happen. Where I became team season 3 sucked and in Season 4 John is unrecognizable as the character he was so I wouldn't want it to happen with this quality of writing.

I always have to read the book first if I know that something was adapted from a book. I've already grabbed a few of your good omen icons I liked for when I watch good omens and become obsessed. I look forward to seeing David Tennant.

Lol that would make sense. I forever wonder what I was thinking when I reread things I write. Ian says it's because I'll jump from point a to point f in conversation without sharing the leaps I made to get there because they seem obvious to me at the time. ^_^

I'd go so far and say that before I started making cards, there were very few cards sent around. Hand-delivered with gifts? Sure. Sent by mail? Not really. Since then, at least for Christmas, more people seem to be sending cards. I started making cards and needed to figure out who I could send all of them to and once you start, people kind of start expecting them. They probably wouldn't be mad if I didn't send any, but probably (and kind of hopefully ;)) a bit disappointed. I've just hit a bit of point where crafting just doesn't pull me in as much.

I can imagine that. I've got some stuff in the cellar I have where I'm not sure what is in the boxes. Along with other stuff that's too big to put in the trash and needs to be brought to a specific place. I've kind of been meaning to do that and have been pushing it off for the longest time. Because it's not cluttering up my actual place.

I don't think I got through season 3. Is that the one were John gets married in the second episode? I didn't get past the first 15 minutes or so of that episode. I think they did a big mistake in faking Sherlock's death at the end of season 2. The episode was good, but it's not something so easily recovered from. No matter that it's a plot point in the book source (if I remember correctly).

Hopefully! A lot of your cards look adorable! I hit that point with my writing and planner two years ago and I'm just starting to get my mojo back. Like icons, all creative processes come and go in my life.

We had boxes that hadn't been gone through since at least 2013... so some of that just went straight to the trash or give away sections. We do have a few things set aside until Ian builds me a shelf to display collectibles. When we moved in 2013 it was such a disaster we got food poisoning and left some of our things behind because we were too sick to travel back and forth so we left behind my collectibles shelf.

I got rid of so many books that we now have empty spaces on my shelf. Which is nice. I'd put my collectibles on shelves but cats are the reason I can't have nice things.

Yep, that's season 3. In season 4 they have John suddenly beat Sherlock and all sorts of stupid nonsensical things happen that it made me glad I'd quit watching season 3. The book version of the death is handled better because it's not treated as a joke. For some reason Moffit and Gatiss decided to write an episode poking fun of fan theories etc. In the book the Johnlock reunion is a beautiful scene with the depth of their friendship serving as a major part. Sherlock pretends to be a bookseller, John is grieving the death of Mary and their unborn child, they hug and the reunion is touching.

In Sherlock on the other hand... Sighs... the first two seasons were great. It's such a shame that the writing did the wonderful cast dirty in the last two seasons.

Thanks. I think it helped that I got myself a cart for my supplies and put a limited selection of supplies on it. Having less choice tends to help on that front. :)

Well, hearing how the season after that went, I'm glad I never got around to finishing season 3. Did they somehow run out of ideas or did they get too distracted playing with the fans and giving fan service?
