Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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

I’ve been thinking about doing this since COVID became a thing, and 10 months later finally got around to it.

Calli, you give me hope that I might possibly get to any of the many many things I could have and have not been doing all this time. Well done!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have this janky closet situation, and finally ordered some brackets and a rod to create a more normal situation, and they finally came, and none of the pieces work together! Like, the brackets don't fit into what I currently have, and the rod doesn't fit into the brackets. Oh well. I give up, I guess.

That sounds like something The Container Store would love to help you with

Or maybe Ikea.

Or Closet World? They may be local, I don't know

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was hoping to have a tiny solution, not the full re-vamp it actually needs. Basically, I have a weird narrow but deep closet, so I have shelves like this [link] along the two side walls and I have to hang my clothes in the little squares. I would rather have a rod! Maybe I will keep googling.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I finally cleaned my kitchen counters and did some reorganizing to get more counter space yesterday, but only because my mom and sister are sending me a KitchenAid stand mixer for my birthday and I didn't have anywhere to put it. I also ordered frames for some of the art that's been sitting around for ages because there was a sale.

Will I actually get to the giant stack of paperwork sitting on my bedroom floor literally next to the filing box where it belongs? Maybe!

Oooh, stand mixer! That's exciting.

OK, I think this might be it. [link]

I could really stand to do that. It would make getting back into bread making easier, and I keep thinking I’d like to try some new things in that area.

Stand mixer, woo!

I have shelves like that on one wall of the spare room that doesn't have an actual closet, and IIRC I had to add rods underneath to make them useful for hanging stuff. At any rate, there are hanging rods more or less like the like the link on them now. As a data point for that maybe being the solution. Good luck!

I went through the clothes in my bureau and put a bunch of stuff that’s either too small or out of season or just not something I feel like wearing, in my closet. Now there’s a lot less stuff and hopefully I’ll feel better about reaching for clothes?

I assume that others do the cycle of “I need something to wear hey this pile of clean laundry is clean I will wear it oh I need to do laundry, now there is a new pile of clean laundry which I will wear things from and never wear the things that are put away”? Trying to avoid that for a bit. Doubt I’ll be successful, but you never know?
