  • I’m honestly thinking about trying a modified sleep schedule like that. No matter what at around 7pm I absolutely can’t keep my eyes open, and then get super awake between 9-10. So maybe I nap from 7-10 ish, then putter around from 10-4 or 5am, and then sleep from then till 10am. It works with my work schedule for the most part. Be an interesting experiment in any case.



  • I just finished The Spine of the World, reading the next one, Sea of Swords now. I decided to finally read all the DnD books last January so I’ve been working my way through them. I read hella fast, a trilogy a week is pretty normal, so having such a ridiculous amount of books to get through is awesome for me.

    I took a break over the summer and read all the Vlad Taltos books by Stephen Brust, holy Dinah that series is so good!! I think when I need another break from DnD I’ll read that series recommendation below, This Quest is Broken. Another series I quite liked was NPC’s by Drew Hays, the audiobooks are really well done.

    And hitchhikers guide is one of my favourites, glad you enjoyed it!












  • Years ago my father in law gave me a Costco sized flat of Nanaimo bars. Like just wrapped it and that was that. I was so bummed as I thought it was a big coffee table book. I ended up cutting them all in half and freezing them, so we had treats through the year. My husband and I still joke about it. As we passed them in Costco last week he suggested I return the favour.




  • Judging from the answers, it seems like no. And really, most people I know that live up north go somewhere warm in January or February, so get the escape then. I’m 45 and two winters ago I had my first white Christmas. And let me tell you, it was freaking MAGIC. We got like a foot to two feet depending where you were on the property. We were exposed to someone with Covid on Christmas Eve so for the next week we were sequestered away, with food and drinks and a beautiful winter wonderland. None of us ended up with covid but my daughters best friends grandfather is immunocompromised so we’re extra careful. We made a slide off the deck, walked in the woods behind the house, lounged around, did puzzles and read books, and just generally had the most peaceful and relaxed time.

    I’ve always lived in warm places, and the Pacific Northwest now, so for me, snow is the most magic thing in the world.
