Trying to find little moments of joy

[cornerofmadness]

it's not easy but I have no other path forward because man, the urge to just give up entirely is strong. So today, I went to the holiday market in Gallipolis. So muddy but luckily most of it was inside. I got some more hand lotion I don't really need, cinnamon honey no one needs, kettle corn that will probably break my tooth and tea because I needed more (eye roll) and two very neatly done blind books. She provided the genre/subgenres, goodreads ratings and a decorative front to hide the book. I thought they were cool and if I hadn't already had a lot of gifts for friends I would have bought more.

I went for boba tea only to find the place closed. Not sure why.

Went to Remo's Italian hotdogs for a footlong covered in chili and pickles and since it was packed and I was waiting, there was time for drama. The guy who helps out behind the counter was leaving and he runs back in as two police cars rocket by. 'There's a guy lying in the street I think a car hit him.' Remo is over there saying 'is it someone we know.' Me and another customer, a nurse with Holzer, bust out of the joint, ready got run down the street to help but he had misread the situation. The cops had two men laid out in handcuffs. Things were fine (for us, not so much for those two teens)

Aldi's had all kinds of advent calendars and on an unrelated note I have a chocolate advent calendar now.

Pittsburgh is having so much for the holidays I don't know how I'll get to it all. I plan to try and stave off the insanity that way.

Two more Hazbin Hotel prompts showed up at fandomtrees and they were smarter than me. They waited for the season to end to work into their prompts. They're exciting. I need to get started on them. So much I want to write so little time to do it.

Hell it's nearly midnight and I'm just setting down to do anything. So I still don't have my Hazbin break down. Sigh. Haven't read much of anything in weeks.

But have Science Saturday while it's still legal for it to exist (after this week I'm not holding my breath)
