nanslice | So much news!

We're married! It was so wonderful and lovely. We picked out four different songs to play: I'm Gonna Be by The Proclaimers, Work Song by Hozier, Hopeless Wanderer by Mumford & Sons, and Smithereens by Twenty One Pilots. Our witness was the little dog (and some people who worked at the restaurant beside it) and we said our vows. The officiant asked us various questions about our relationship and each other. It was so good. <3 So yeah, I'm married! That's crazy.

I also got a new job and immediately had a mental crisis right after the orientation. Full on getting sick on myself and crying. XD; So I'll be starting therapy soon! It wasn't a job I was particularly attached to or interested in so I'm not too upset about it. We're good. We're safe. We have what we need. It's more about the wants that's the problem, haha, but we'll be okay (Will keeps reminding me that we're fine and that everything is okay, and I keep apologizing for being a basket case, and everything is good).

It looks like 21 of the 25 strawberry plants are coming up quite nicely! As are the snap peas and some of the bok choy. The beets have struggled and we may need to replant. I also recently transplanted over 40 lily bulbs from an overly full pot (I originally planted just three bulbs five years ago!) to a new front garden that's surrounding the larch tree we just planted. Which is looking so weird and strange, I'll have to take pictures. I love it. ;3; Also started some seeds indoors, including a bush bean that already has actual leaves coming in. I'm so proud; gonna have to expand the gardens again (a good problem to have!).

The three little grafted trees we drove to Portland to get are all budding and looking very pleased with themselves; I've moved them to one gallon pots they can stay in for this season as they mature.

Relatedly, I've been looking up some liberal homesteading accounts to follow. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that so much homesteading slants right but I continuously am. :\ I think because of that, a few people are being more open about their political views. I simply do not have it in me to take advice from anti-vaxxers or climate change deniers or anything like that.

Fandom activity came to a grinding halt for a couple of weeks but I think I'm coming out of that; today I've posted the rest of my art pieces for Rare Kink Buffet and am writing this post here! I also have a couple of reference photos I'd like to start turning into some sort of art piece. I don't know, it's kind of hard to focus on things right now. :\a But not really in a bad way, I think? I'm just preoccupied by other things.

RENAY! Feels like it's been forever! Thank you very much! :D <3

It HAS been forever but I made it a goal in 2025 to return to social media that made me happy. :D

An extremely valid goal considering all of the Everything that's happening in the world! DW feels like a blast from the past in the best possible way; the safest and kindest place on the internet, at least in my humble opinion. :3
