• Letting my light shine bright

  I think it is fairly safe to say that I am addicted to fairy lights. I set up our Xmas tree today (it is named Sam, because it’s a fucking prick. Although it is yet to insist that I must have diabetes). In the process of getting this in place, I also cleaned off our […]

• Goodbye Crappy Tuesday

  There is going to be an immense amount of whining and wailing and weeping in this entry, so if you’re not down with that, go read this instead.
