I enjoy puzzles, #scifi, #history, & learning Spanish (slowly).

Current hyperfixation: fancy DIY nails. 💅

Let's see if I can keep the hyperfixation hobby count BELOW 12 this year. That would mean no more than one all-consuming obsession with a new or returning hobby per month.

Odds of success? No worse than any other #resolution 🤷‍♀️

May your 2025 be better than you are anticipating! #happynewyear
Closed down a piano bar on Dirty 6th in #atx last night. Words can not express how out of character this is for me (I don't even drink), but the "piano bar" had four guys with two pianos, two guitars, a fiddle, a drum set, and an amazing amount of talent on display. Gotta love #Austin!

How do you get a White #Christmas in Texas?

Powdered sugar, of course.

Ghosting social networks for years at a time is apparently one of my hobbies. (Really, I have been so AAAAAHHH since starting the new job that I didn't have the mental space for anything else... but I've finally settled in, and switched meds, and suddenly I am once again interested in socializing with the outside world.)

I cannot overstate enough the prime rule of #sewing: if your machine starts to make a Bad Noise, stop IMMEDIATELY.

Nothing good ever happens from continuing and hoping it sorts itself out.
