Speaking of original art, Mr. Loomy is auctioning off what is probably his most iconic painting for M:tG. The auction starts Monday, and when it was announced to the FB group, people lost their damn minds.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yeah, I have been getting the $1.99 kindle deals, too, and occasionally pricier books because damn it all I can do most days is read! I've been better about that this month than last month, but it was bad for a while.

That's very cool, Atropa!

I've also been getting audiobooks, because summer means an upswing in migraines.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I bought a dress to pretend I'm at the beach and not loafing around the house: [link] I'll wear it to loaf in our overhauled backyard when that project gets finished.

Also gym shorts, because I am loafing around the house and not at the beach. And I'm buying skin care but not makeup, because I almost never leave the house, and when I do, half my face is covered with a mask anyway.

I think I am all out of can for the day.

I've got an Audible subscription and I had stockpiled credits for a while so I was burning through those but now I have to wait another month for a new credit to get anything new. Audiobooks are a little rich for my blood, really, but I like them very much.

When I have to lie down with the microwave beanbag on my head for a migraine, I end up listening to one of John Mulaney's Netflix specials, or letting an episode of some show that I've seen a gazillion times play on the iPad while I listen to it. Audiobooks make much more sense.

It's so comfortable, too. And I definitely did not pay $100 for it -- I got it during a random sale for like $47 or so.

Tim (well, *Ava*) is perpetually shopping on Poshmark, so fancy clothes get delivered like once a month -- today's delivery was a houndstooth bodysuit and a black pencil skirt. Tres chic. (And I feel the need to point out that the last article of clothing I bought was $7 gym shorts, and that right there is the dynamic in our marriage. I have literally asked "Don't you have enough black heels?!?" I'm a goddamn stereotype.)
