Bone tired

[cornerofmadness]

But the yoga went better than today ever before. I'm too tired to even watch the two Hazbin shows but that is a mistake because the damn content creators put MAJOR spoilers in their fucking YT titles which I saw as I turned on music at work. I am beyond furious. I hate being robbed of discovering things on my own

So I'm watching tournament of champions holidays version (I like this one because it feels the most real because the judges are judging without the chef standing their with their lack of poker faces) and was confronted by two of the ones I liked in the past having sad stories on their own (that I hadn't heard before. Shirley Chung barely able to talk because she had stage 4 tongue cancer and lost a lot of it and Tobias Dorzan who is recovering from being shot 11 times this time last year which shocks me that I did not hear about this)


So for the last several years I've done the Popsugar Reading Challenge The theme was supposed to be garden and they have ONE garden prompt. It is filled with issues with pregnancy which is not great. Some of this is going to be very triggering to some people (not me but man if I was struggling with infertility I wouldn't like that prompt) and I am not a fan. What I need from you is some help. I've put the prompts under the cut. If it was *** I could use a suggestion if you have them.
