"Mindfulness is simply being aware of what is happening right now without wishing it were different; enjoying the pleasant without holding on when it changes (which it will); being with the unpleasant without fearing it will always be this way (which it won’t).”
– James Baraz

The 50th birthday turned out less sucky than I thought it'd be. One of my besties took me to the #Warhammer store, where I got the bigger paint handle for my big minis then to my favorite brewery for dinner. I am now full of Buffalo and barley wine, and my hobby desk has more tools. #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts #DailyLife #MiniaturePainting

Had a work meet up today and tomorrow. Due to not having a meeting room scheduled, we ended up meeting in a pub all day yesterday and it looks like a hotel lobby today. Janky, but it works. Also, I officially don't suck at my job. #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts #DailyLife #AnnualReviews

„Israel’s move to prevent all aid from entering the Gaza Strip after Hamas reportedly refused to accept a plan to continue with phase one of the fragile ceasefire has had an immediate impact, including a 100-fold increase in the price of flour and vegetables.“
