That's all I worked on this week. I need to get hauling on that embroidery piece. Someone bully me into finishing it.

It's only more recently that children's stories have happy endings.Scary is how most parables and moral stories, children's songs too, end.

It's to the point that my friends generally have me make phone calls for them, and I'm the emergency contact for most of my friends because I actually answer my phone. I know most people my age are anxious around phones, but I'm just so used to talking to people on the phone.

The Reformatory by Tananarive Due is also amazing. It's easily the scariest book I've read this year. It was one of the books I needed to just sit with after I finished it. I have her newest book on hold from the library and can't wait to be terrified.
If you're interested in mild horror, I like Rachel Harrison. I'm about to read her newest book.
The Uketsu series, Strange Pictures, Strange Houses, and Strange Buildings, is an interesting take on horror and really interesting to read.
I love Shirley Jackson as well if you want to read some classic horror. Along those lines, Frankenstein and Dracula, and Carmilla (the OG Vampire novel for those that don't know) are favorites as well.
Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera is really good. I've read another novel similar to it called Tell Me What You Did, and it's fine, but Listen for the Lie is much better.

Habituallytired LinkI mostly read horror, but I started Demon Copperhead this morning on my best friend's recommendation because she knows how much I liked East Of Eden. They have very similar vibes.

I have 13 items that need to be mended (not all clothes), and it's driving me crazy.
I'm also working on hand-stitching my English Paper Piecing (EPP) project together after this year of cutting the fabric out, punching out the hexagons on cardstock, and gluing the fabric to the cardstock, it's now time to make the fabric (been working on it all summer) that I still have no idea what I want to make with the finished EPP. We'll cross that bridge when we get there, I guess.
I'm finally going to start putting together my family's recipes in a cookbook as well. I have plenty of online time where I can just type out the recipes we like and use regularly. I will need someone else to translate my great grandma's cookbook since it's hand-written in Russian, and while I can read printed Cyrillic, I cannot read cursive.
EDIT: I forgot, I also have an almost finished embroidery piece that I just need to get done. It needs like three more leaves and it's finished. I'm going to force myself to finish it, maybe this weekend.

- A NEW Zelda game that is linear, not like BOTW and TOTK.
- A new Rollercoaster Tycoon, but made in the original style and graphics, just made by Chris Sawyer, and no online modes or anything
- a cozy game for my phone with no ads or in-app purchases or apple arcade/internet connectivity where I can just complete side quests and puzzles with character development dependent on how nice you are to the people around you.
McDonald's chicken nuggets always taste better out of the fridge for me, but I haven't had them in almost a year for political and health reasons.
Otherwise, I agree with everyone else on the chilis, soups, stews, and salads being better the next day. Some casseroles are also better the next day. My mother in law makes casserole spinach squares and chilaquiles squares. The Chilaquiles are nothing like the real thing, but a casserole and it's so good cold or heated up.
