when you get the aliexpress ruby slippers I have been in a Bad Mood today, which I think is a combination of homesickness, unaddressed anger from last month, and PMS. Not sure about the last one. I had to basically drag myself to the desk to do this little Dorothy doodle. I did make some little comics on my trip, though! I did work in my sketchbook! I started it this year and I would like to finish it this year as well, though I don't know how likely that is to happen. The weather here is getting colder; last night there was a threat of snow flurries. When I left, the leaves were still mostly green, but now they're in their full autumn glory, I guess. Forty degrees is winter in Florida, so I never could really associate a temperature under fifty to "autumn". My mother bought me David Sedaris' A Carnival of Snackery: Diaries 2003-2020 for my birthday. I really loved Theft By Finding: Diaries 1977-2002, and this one is also so fun. I have been taking pictures and sending them to friends. (My brother was actually fooled by the joke of Amy being in Playboy - I think I severely disappointed him.)
Usually I'm already in Christmas mode by mid-October, but homesickness has overridden my abundant holiday cheer and now all I do is listen to The Beach Boys, look at pictures of the ocean, and glare into space. I should probably channel this anger into something more productive, but in my defense I did clean the bathtub today.
