Allergies suck!

 Half of the Sibs have come down with a nasty allergy attack. I am trying to fend one of myself. I am currently so tired that my eyes keep crossing.

I read Tricia Levenseller's The Shadows Between Us yesterday. The first chapter is a little sluggish but by chapter two, the momentum has been established and you find yourself captured. I now need to read Tricia's now completed Bladesmith Duologly.

Audiobook Binge!

 I went on another audio book  downloading spree. I got two Lily Chu novels, three Suzannah Nix novels and I lost count how many other novels I got in audio form. I got so much knitting piled up that I'm excited to have something to keep my brain occupied while my hands work.

I have two scarves on looms and what seems like a ton of hats to make. I hope to get them done before snowfall. Hopefully, the sibs haven't tangled my yarn beyond all hope.

Hidden Citizens

 A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon Hidden Citizens by accident on YouTube. Their remix(?) of Ciara's rendition of "Paint it Black" was just mind blowingly powerful. Lb2 and I felt like it was the theme music to a tragic backstory for a villainess. The next day I just had to listen to all their music. Long story short, I got all their music plus Paint It Black.

This is how they describe themselves,

'A shadowed authority specializing in impacful music, Hidden Citizens is an underground group of creators that crafts top-tier ontent from outside the public eye. Their music will take you on a journey. With reflective low points and extreme high points, they paint an unforgettable picture.'

And

'If the end of everything has a soundtrack, Hidden Citizens will bring it to life.'

That's what they say on their site. They sound like the best ever soundtrack of a dystopian blockbuster. Their music inspires one to embrace all that is epic and to not just live life, but to live the legend. I can't even pick a favorite song. All I can say is check them out today.

Hair day and Anime!

 Today I flat ironed both my hair and that of LS2. She has gotten so big on me. We stand almost eye to eye. Today was the first time LS2 ever got her hair done that way so she stood while I worked. I have a feeling that next time  I will need her to sit so I can do it. 

I meant to flat iron my hair in May but life sidelined that idea til July. Now I just want to let it be known, I'm not that into doing hair. I tend to put my hair in a braid and leave it. I don't want to fuss with my hair all the time.

In other news, I had a mild anime spree. If you want a love story with a few sobs attached, try Violet Evergarden. Comedy,drama and a little suspense, try Summer Wars. If you want a ton of romance and suspense (with a dash of Freaky Friday), try Your Name. If you want to just want to sit and sob, try Hal. I absolutely loved them all!
