So take a moment and light a candle.
Help a friend in need.
Go listen to (or make) joyous music.
Or maybe do all of the above.
Find the light and help it grow.

We're going to want all the reserves we can get next year. It's going to be a year of fighting and frustration. But it is not without hope.

An hour ago the long night ended. The cycle begins again and the light will slowly, ever so slowly return to our world.

We hold vigils and sing songs and say prayers to remind us that it is our job as beings in this world to strive and fight for the light within each other, for when we do this we stoke the light within ourselves so that when the darkness returns we have our own reserves to carry ourselves through it until the cycle can start again.

Today was nice despite a lot of curve balls thrown my way. I got to watch probably our last Unstable draft, host the Lady Planeswalker’s Society, and follow through on a promise I made our community at the end of the year last year by giving someone a ride home. All in all a good day.

I'm in a good, if kinda lewd mindset today.

Kind of wish I could be tied up, held, petted and generally have nice things being done to me.

Possibly related: I finally don't have fucking tooth pain or swelling from the damn root canal today. Or at least I don't right at this moment and eating a meal without using just one half of my muzzle is _really_ nice and I missed it. >.<

Todays' been pretty damn decent. The last pieces of the glowtide gifts I wanted to give came together. There's one more to order, but..well..it's easily obtained.

Everything that came in at work has been dealt with, and the store is in a good shape to handle the next day. My only regret is that it's about 11 PM and my focus is pretty much shot, cause I have energy and kinda wish I could be doing more right now.

One of the hardest things I've seen anyone do is to compassionately engage someone who's viewpoint they very much do not share. It takes a lot of effort to listen to and effectively engage with the other party. And you risk a lot in doing so.

To those of you who can do that on a regular basis, I am amazed and impressed. I wish I could do that more. I'd like to think it's the most effective way to get one's point across.

Blugh. I dunno what I did last night to my right hand, but one of my fingers feels swollen. :P

Sometimes the world seems against you; the journey may leave a scar.
But scars can heal and reveal just where you are.

The people you love will change you.
The things you have learned will guide you.
And nothing on earth can silence, the quiet voice still inside you.

A gentle reminder that the journey is as important as the destination, and that quiet voice inside that speaks of dreams is a part of you. Don't forget to listen to it. <3

A few brief breaks aside I have an outline done that feels really good to me. Nothing feels forced and I genuinely look forward to writing all of the parts to this. Even getting ideas as to quippy / fun dialogue.

Mistress @literorrery​ was exceptionally helpful for showing me her outlining technique.

I'm about to sit down to attempt a new writing endeavor. For me. On some project I haven't worked on it a while (I have a couple).

I'm allowing myself half an hour to plan/braindump into Omnifocus as a head-clearing exercise, and then I'll work however long it takes before I feel "done."

Hopefully I'll have something new to post this evening! <3

Hmm. Still staring at the Omnifocus app after 3-4 days of working with it in trial mode. I think it's growing on me, and I definitely like the layout. I'm gonna give it another week.

If I'm still using it, I'll purchase a pro license for myself and a standard license for the iPad/iPhone. It'll be pricey, but at least it's not a recurring payment deal.

Also she brought back in literally everything that she left with ($5 Gift Certificates, Buy-A-Box Promotional Items, etc.). So that also kinda helps.

I just got a visit from one of our first customers Friday morning. She spent $200 on magic product and is now coming in to return it.

At least it's not her. She's a "tasker" (a personal shopper for a company called TaskRabbit) and the person asking her to buy the cards was a scam artist. Still...would much preferred to have not lost $200 on a slow monday). :/

Just a reminder that if you do feel the need to shop this weekend, try to do it somewhere local, and that you be good to the folks working today.

Local shops and their employees all over will really appreciate it! <3
