Eeee! Someone on tumblr asked for permission to translate my #Witcher fic, Solstice and Solitude: A Yuletide Carol, into Russian! 🥰

It's fun to see a whole new group of people get to read something (and hopefully comment).

This dude on Twitter is being so incredibly thick it makes me want to argue more while also being very clear about the fact that arguing more is pointless.

Lucifer/Satan/Richard/Dick on twitter thinks I'm a shitlib who wants to keep the Progressives down.

Meanwhile, I'm having a fairly wonky policy conversation in a google doc with the Progressive running against Senator Menendez's son for my district's House seat.

A Deadly Education really goes a bit overboard with "dangerous magic school". It's (and I know this is ridiculous) unrealistic.

Every single thing a person might do could kill them. Walking down the hall. Eating. Sleeping. Staying in your room.

And yet people send their kids there.

Also, lots of extra sleep. Napped from noon to about 4 and feeling much improved at least as far as the headache goes, which was the most irritating thing

Cinnamon for moistening, warming, and taste.

Ginger for heat and fluid movement.

Cleavers for fluid movement.

Elderflower to drive the actions toward the head.

Meadowsweet for pain relief.

Calendula to drive the action toward the sinuses.

Started feeling ill yesterday. Still feeling ill today.

Symptoms: really bad headache, ears feel full, sinus pain, sniffles.

Took a covid at home test, but it said negative.

Treatment: chamomile steam, thyme steam.

1 tablespoon of my Winter Elixir every couple of hours.

Tea: marshmallow root, cinnamon stick, meadowsweet, elderflower, ginger, cleavers, calendula

Marshmallow for moistening mucus membranes, runny mucus is more useful than dried and stuck.

For the first time since Tuesday, the construction machinery outside is no longer running. It feels like a physical weight lifted.

I was just starting to look at hotel rooms so I could escape for some peace.

that post-visit ennui when you wonder if the person you were visiting now can't stand you and will ever invite you back

I apparently have a Vero account but I don't really know what to do with it
