the seasonal blahs
Oh right, March is the month where every day expends more energy to get through it than I get allocated for that day. Fourteen spoons a day, thirteen spoons available.
It's better than February moodwise, but it's so exhausting. Luckily I know the secrets - keep moving and don't stop doing things or you can't start again. That, and the other secret, the capacity that lies past exhaustion, past willpower, past determination, and just waits there for you to need it.
I haven't had to tap into that this year, which is good. I remember digging deep into that once to move...
I just had an amazing fish dinner and now I really fucking want some expensive chocolate or at least some ice cream, but no, I'm being good. @..@;

A voice whispered up to the dragon, "Is he cute?"
"Passingly, for a human. Not enough scales for me. Seems fit, not too stupid, courageous at the very least. Has dimples where you like 'em and brown eyes."
There was a long silence and the knight shifted uncomfortably, because of his armor and the scrutiny he was under.
"I'm... also single?" the knight offered.
"Then he can meet me and I'll decide if I want him to rescue me."
"Very well. Knight, there's a door behind the glowing statue."

"O great dragon, I have come to battle you," called the knight.
"For what reason," asked the dragon, perched safely out of reach.
"You hide a prince, I wish to rescue him."
"Let me see your face; remove your helmet."
"Oh, so you can burn it off?"
"I could do that," the dragon purred, "Even if you left your helmet on."
The knight thought on this and then hesitantly removed his helmet, "Is this a test of bravery?"
"Somewhat."

Do dragons get their kobolds to do their taxes? Or are they too easily distracted to file the paperwork correctly?
Picturing a group of kobolds huddled around a tax form arguing about deductions while the dragon naps in the other room.

A new fossil bed along the Qingjiang River in China, dating back to the Cambrian era (slightly earlier than the Burgess Shale), has turned out to be a treasure trove. Half the species found there haven't been previously described, and an incredible amount of soft tissue has been preserved, yielding unprecedented detail: https://arstechnica.com/science/2019/03/spectacular-trove-of-cambrian-fossils-uncovered-in-china/

The hen had few desires; to grow fat on grubs and grains, to keep eggs warm and to soar through the clouds.
She excelled at the first two, but her flying efforts, though determined, were limited. Still,she managed to reach many of the highest treetops and rocky outcrops, further than the rest of the flock.
During her highest flight, she found a cliffside cave with a nest cradling two cooling eggs. Without hesitation she began to brood.

The hen brooded diligently, so much so, that if the layer of the eggs had returned, she would have fought to remain on the nest.
She wasn't very smart. She was a chicken.
But nothing ever came to reclaim the eggs. The hen trilled and cackled comfortingly to the eggs. She wasn't smart, but she was there for them.
Some time later, travelers would report a pair of clucking, cackling, fire-breathing dragons protecting a wild flock, taking turns carrying their aging mother up to the clouds.
re: anticipations of the future, seen in hindsight (~)
I wonder if that's when I stopped being able to anticipate things clearly. I wonder if it'll ever come back.

Sudden flash of memory - watching That Monster leave at the airport on what was to be his final trip to visit me, walking out of sight through security, and abruptly just KNOWING that I would never see him again. I told myself it was just being sad to see him leave and tried to push it out of my mind.
About a month, as I understand the timing, before he would meet the girl that he'd fall in love with, hide from me, and eventually marry and start a family with.
Wish I'd listened to myself.

My favourite extinct monster is anomalocaris. Creatures during the Cambrian period were so strange looking. Which makes them interesting! Anomalocaris was basically a gigantic brine shrimp with an appetite for anything smaller than itself. Which was everything, because it was the largest animal in the world when it was alive!

Ugh, had a dream so real and grounded, with it's own internal history and structure that when I woke up I had to struggle with remembering what was real.
Chuangtse's butterfly, but with another life.
Jeez. Once the sun came out from the clouds and I got home and showered, the day and my mood got a hell of a lot better. I'm solar-powered in more than one way...
(And while this is the mildest winter I can remember for personal emotional state, I'm still definitely at low ebb right now - I don't feel hollow and empty inside, but there sure isn't a lot in there right now.)

Anyone know any good, trans-friendly therapists towards the north end of Lake Washington? Can be Eastside or Westside; just been looking recently and haven’t really found anyone who looks good to me.

This goes out to the millions of people who have to suffer through both a Monday and having to wake up an hour earlier. <3

for those wondering how to establish trade relations with crows:
- feed crows food A regularly
- when crows decide to bring you gifts, feed them food B
- when crows bring you different categories of gifts, feed them a food-per-category, ex: food C for jewelry, food D for paper money, etc
- crows will recognize these exchange patterns and opt to bring you things in order to acquire desired treats
good luck! 🐦

I don't always get to see Her in the mirror, but when I do tears always come to my eyes.
The best kind of tears. <3
Captain Marvel was fantastic by the way.
