today's dessert is going to bed early
Most meet-cutes don't include assassins. Most love stories don't involve becoming a superhero. Then again, Westmeath isn't like most cities.
Kennedy Fairfield just graduated in the class of 2002, and is now trying to find her purpose in life, or at least a job in her field. When she saves Jason Johnson, the leader of a secret Community of supernatural people called Aetherborn, from an attempted assassination, they embark on a whirlwind epic romance and adventure.
For Kennedy and Jason to discover why people are disappearing in time to save her friends, they'll have to face teleporting assassins, grumpy wizards, gossiping hags, mafia robots, and secret military groups, all in the city of Westmeath, Ontario, which has more secrets than residents.
The first book of four in The Gates of Westmeath series.

Just assisted to the celebration of a coworker's 20th year with the company. Then, a coworker with 21 years made a moving speech about another coworker retiring after 45 years.
I don't think I managed to work more than 3 years in a row in the same place. I'm having a hard time imagining such a work stability.
when bosses get you with "it's an emergency!" and it's about something that came out in 2016... my brother in Christ, it's been online for six years it can wait until i finish my coffee.
my boy is back! my wild, smelly, disaster of a boy with twigs in his hair, goblin blood on his face, who literally drinks the monsters he kills and will fight Ganon in boxers. Time to fish with dynamite!

instead of sleeping i'm in a wikipedia downspiral and getting really fucking mad at Lord Durham, that dick.
when you write sometimes you got to figure out what the villain did first. and i'm thinking it would be easier to write a detective novel so i would just have a nice murder to plan. but no, i wanted to go biblical epic fantasy with celestial political intrigue, so now i have to answers questions like "what is Lucifer doing during the Egyptian Plagues"
sugar detox day 8: Already a week? whoa. I'm fine, no more headaches, mood if fine, my brother drank a coke in front of me and a barely wanted to sell my soul for a sip.
I'll stop the daily updates there, I think the worst is over. I just got to keep cooking, and go against my usual response to stress which was "fuck this i deserve a treat".
Thanks to everyone who gave tips and suggestions, it was a great help! I can't answer everyone, but I often go back to the notes you left to find other food options. 💚
I just fell in love with greek yogurt + fruits and it had to kill my decade old Magic Bullet. rip little mixer, you were witness to many "yeah now i'll drink kale smoothies in the morning!" attempts.
that feel when you invent a character smarter than you are and you got to think really, really hard to figure out what they would do.
I mean, you could always BBC Sherlock it, and have them be clever off camera :|
i have standards
shit would get done faster if we didn't have to take into account other people's opinions. i'm just saying.
we're two months in advance and yet one of the teachers is panicking and saying we should plan the deadlines and i'm like "we"? that's literally my job, and it's done, if she bothered to follow the link to the excel i gave then a month ago.
i have talked to eight people today and half of them were my bosses-- four at the same time. Yeah, they want to help me, but there's only so much a girl can take before her (very bitter) coffee.
No, seriously, this kind of stress and pressure is scheduled for december, i refuse to do it in advance.
sadly, when you work from home, you can't set fire to your workplace when people make you snap
that feel when you invent a character smarter than you are and you got to think really, really hard to figure out what they would do.
sugar detox day 7: No headache! And coffee with only 1 sugar packet is disgusting.
