That looks lovely!

I do think I am leaning toward the birds! I was worried that the image wasn't big enough to get a clean, non-blurry print, but we live in the weirdest timeline so I was able to find an AI image upscaler that also cleaned up the lines. I need to clean up the colouring myself -- those blotches on the leaves frex -- but I think that is what I'm going to go with

Good news/bad news:
Good news is that some of the morning glories have sprouted! Only by the trellises, nothing by the fence (yet). There's several of them, though, so I'm very excited

Bad news is that I subluxed my rib at the store, apparently, and now I hurt. Nothing currently feels out of place so hopefully it's just that it's tender, but either way there's not a lot I can do about it but try not to hurt myself, and not hurt anything else by trying to favor it. This has put slight dampers on plans for today, though -- mostly in covering the patio overhang. We have a tarp to throw over it, but my range of motion is not great and I don't quite trust myself on a ladder right now. Tomorrow, hopefully

Package has gone from Illinois to New Jersey and marked delayed, new ETA of May 10

:(

But where is it, aside from not in New Jersey??

[Fetian]

I'm going to be worried it's going to be stolen until it's in my hands

Current assumption is that the package just isn't moving on weekends, so there won't be an update until late tonight or some time tomorrow

But I have learned something about fedex tracking! Per a redditor who worked for them at the time of posting, when tracking says "arrived at" or "departed", that means someone physically scanned the box, and when it says "in transit" that means that the vehicle it's in got pinged by GPS. So in my case someone in New Jersey scanned my package as it went onto whatever truck or plane or whatever it's currently on, and then it has sat in that vehicle over the weekend. Since it hasn't left the vehicle, it hasn't been scanned on arrival, so tracking just knows it's not in (specifically that FedEx location in) New Jersey.

All this to say I still don't have my shiny new toy

 
Pretty good weekend so far -- yesterday, ash and I attached a big ol' sheet of plastic to the top of the patio, to cover it for summer. Should help keep it cooler both on the patio and just inside the house on that side, and it'll allow Ivy to spend some time out there while it's raining without getting soaked. We also hung out, played video games, and then slept together, which is always nice as an occasional treat. ash played Superliminal, which had a 50/50 chance of him good-naturedly hating it and him loving it, and he seems to have come down on the side of loving it, so that was fun

 
I backed a kickstarter for divination dice a while ago -- I backed it specifically to get one of the perks that came with them, but over time I have lost interest in that perk and gained interest in the dice themselves. They arrived yesterday, and I played with them a little but didn't have time, energy, or brain to really mess with them. I'm going to do some of that today, in a bit

First I think I'll walk around the pool for ten minutes, see if I can't clear the last of this sleep from my head

Yeah, spent basically the entirety of the day reading dice. It's interesting! I think I like it more than tarot, though I still need to fine-tune my own process with it.

Is it accurate? Who knows lol, I do this shit for fun
