Thanks, this is fun 😁

Dill is such a great idea for this!

I don’t think anyone ever mistook Beowulf (c. 700–1000 AD) for nonfiction, but just wanted to mention that if you’ve read it and enjoyed it, you might like Grendel, a modern retelling of Beowulf from the monster’s perspective.

Btw it’s really fun to get a side-by-side Modern English and Old English edition of Beowulf and compare them. Wild how much language can change in that time span.

Two deer wandered through the yards on my street on the 4th of July. Poor things were probably scared by the fireworks, just like my pups were. They must not have stayed upset though, because they were calm enough to eat all my gladiolus blooms! lol! I didn’t mind :)

Here’s the same thing for space!

Little slights like that, I just sigh, if anything at all, and keep doing my thing. They’re not worth stressy thoughts when I can just keep to myself.

For my skin it makes a big difference, but everyone is different! If your skin isn’t dry, or oily, or acne prone, you keep doing what works. I have combination skin, and I do a morning cleanser, then moisturizer with spf, which also helps a little bit of under eye concealer blend better. At night it’s a cleanser then retinol. A cheaper moisturizer all over after a bath. For me, if I skip any of these things, I feel it.
