I feel like I finally made a breakthrough in my fatigue today.
I also finally finished the movie Arrival and I’m currently watching the Imitation Game. Emerson and I are taking turns with the TV every other night so we can both watch what we want to watch without one of us hogging the TV for too long. Emerson also made a take on tom kha soup…

It’s 83% funded already, but any shares, donations, and engagement mean the world to me, as my husband and I are being evicted come Jan 31 for speaking out against our abusive ex. It’s here: https://itch.io/b/3454/fundraiser-for-lazarus-halliwell-act-2 -Allēna

Yesterday was a pretty good day, all things considered.
I braved my camera shyness and told the backstory for my poem “to dance with a cyclone”, which I’ll post below: Then Emerson and I filled out our marriage license application and made the appointment to submit it. I’m so excited. One of our best friends also offered to get us a stay at a…
