Pix inspired me to record the sunrise time in my calendar for the next few months. Every day at sunrise I am always well up and awake. No excuse not to drink my coffee at the beach which is less than 2 miles from my house. I used to do this every day, but somehow got out of the habit.
Angel: How're you feeling? Faith: Like I did mushrooms and got eaten by a bear.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
What do I get for a 13-YO girl with undiagnosed ADHD, whose parents really don't want her to have any more books? She's wildly into dragons and adventure fantasy novels, and she plays hockey, and she got into baking during the pandemic.
It might be pitched a bit too young for her, but a Foodstirs baking kit subscription might be fun. (And the company was co-founded by SMG!)

I would totally want a book as that kid but uh….I guess cute baking things? Like if she makes cupcakes or cakes, cute sprinkles or cupcake wrappers?

Does the book ban include cook books because there are cooking and baking books that are based on fantasy/gaming things that might be fun for her.

You know we are very bad Buffistas for once again forgetting photo evidence. We know how hectic the visits are and really appreciated that you took the time to come up.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, aren't there dragon shaped cake pans out there? Probably other stuff along those lines as well. I hope she's read The Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking already, if not it might be worth breaking the no-books rule for.
