Speak of the Devil and she will appear

[sovay]

So this week continued to be this week, and then I had a lovely afternoon and evening with rushthatspeaks during which he showed me the pop-cultural deep dive of John Walsh's "What the Internet Did to Garfield," and then I got home to some non-fatal news that sent the rest of my night right off the rails, and as of this afternoon the dark-blue-enameled eye-of-Horus pin that I got from the MFA's Ancient Nubia Now in 2020 has gone missing, which upsets me both because it is emotionally important to me and because this just doesn't feel like a good week to lose a protective amulet, you know? I don't even believe I can replace it after all this time. Tell me something nice.

The downy woodpeckers that visit my birdfeeder have been soothing to watch.

That was a truly splendid exhibition. I send "return from your stroll" vibes to your beautiful Eye of Horus pin.

Yesterday I woke to the sound of J singing at the top of his cheerful lungs in the shower. That was a pretty darling moment.

If the pin doesn't return, it probably means that it took a hit for you. I've had blue beads on protective amulets break spontaneously when shit has been flying. I hope it does return, but perhaps you can take some heart it the possibility, if it does not, that it was for a good reason.

I hope your pin returns!

There once was a mermaid from France,
A master of song and of dance.
She flirted with sailors,
And none of them failed her,
Taking off all of their pants.

...sorry, I'm apparently incapable of giving you good mermaid poetry right now. *facepalm*

I hope your amulet is keeping the perimeter and will return.

I have had a run of quite good library books.

I have spare copies of The Clapper, if it would amuse you to see my first attempt at editing a thing?

I had a very pleasant morning at a Canadian friend's home watching live winter Olympics, which is apparently the custom of their people. Ate a bit of food, talked a bit of talk, watched sports other than ice hockey, generally had a nice time together.

I hope the spirits of magpies and crows help you recover the pin.

A nice thing is that today I went to work and did my job and did it well and it wasn't traumatic in any way. This is more of a novelty than I wish it were. I think it'll take a while for me to really believe that I'm finally in a safe place, work-wise, but I'm getting there.

I hope your amulet comes back to you.
