Me at Dreamwidth: [Griffin McElroy I've Abandoned My Boy.gif]

I had all these big plans to re-cultivate my Dreamwidth Experience, start following more people/blogs/communities then IMMEDIATELY after the Guardian Wishlist ended, my brain and mental health decided to dramatically fall off a cliff.

I'm fine! It has just been QUITE a few weeks, and my brainpower has been reserved for dabbling in writing, bingewatching shows (Bless you as always, yaaurens , for being my favorite enabler), procrastinating, and then being anxious about the things i'm procrastinating on.

I'm sure the change in weather doesn't help, since fall is coming, things are starting to feel a bit Atmospherically Dark (Pros: I am VERY much enjoying snuggling myself into cozy clothes, at least until NYC goes from 60 to 85 every other day- MAKE UP YOUR MIND)

In the meantime, I've started watching a local pupper twice a day. The owner got the baby a couple weeks ago, and immediately contacted me (I've walked her son's labradoodle, Bernie, when they come to visit). It's her first puppy.
 

(This was from our first day together, and he's already BIGGER. It's been 2 weeks)

This puppy is just...an absolute pleasure. He's smart, snuggly, well-behaved and very well adjusted. He's already growing like a weed, and since he's also a labradoodle, i imagine there is still only so much time left until he can't be carried out.

Currently taking things a day at a time. Job hunting, but grateful i have current work to supplement me, as well as the Off The Books stuff.

I baked cookies today, because i haven't baked in ages and i really needed a little comfort snack. The Halfling Sweet Nibbles cookies are quickly becoming my Comfort Cookies. So easy to make, and they just smell and taste so good.

Speaking of, i just heard "Mm nom nom nom" noises from the kitchen, so i guess the cookies were a success today.
 

Hoping to get back into cooking/baking more soon. With the cooler weather coming, it means my Heroes Feast Cookbook is going to get a workout, since so much of it is very tavern/comfort food.
