the presence of a single audacious fruit fly in my undisturbed haven immediately results in boiling water down the sink, all produce rewashed & refrigerated, apple cider vinegar trap, and a movement-triggered laser that keeps pinging off my pupils. I may not escape this unchanged. but it will die.

Artemis II has brought me to tears every day they've been out there. Safe travels home, friends.
coming to terms with the milestone of learning, several weeks after it happened, that your parent(s) have experienced an injury or health-related incident & neglected several opportunities to mention it
more than once I've missed a hold pickup window & every time I pay the $1.00 fine, I am fraught. the librarians have assured me they don't care and they're happy to see me again. pillars of society

I don't typically pay much attention to fashion, but I am absolutely enamoured when someone is wearing an entirely benign outfit paired with the most fun and unexpected socks.
