I have 100% forgotten how to begin one of these entries.

The day didn't unfold as planned or hoped, the snow and general chaos threw a wrench into the works, I didn't get to go back to the library to volunteer more, Delight and I just talked on the internet rather than watched the non-sunset in person before they took off for their holiday tour, Light, Abundance and I bailed on the Mt Auburn Cemetery solstice lights for the second time in two years, so I've still never been, but at least this year it was snow instead of rain.

We did manage to take Nonsense to the beach this morning, which was unsurprisingly almost entirely empty of people, a pair of humans with a pair of dogs on one end, and a tractor flattening the beach in the far distance, so Nonsense got to chase a ball and chase some seagulls and was generally just having her best life. And we also took her to pick up a snowy holiday tree in a mostly abandoned tree lot, I'm assuming everyone else either already has a tree or had the sense to stay home.

But we'll decorate it tomorrow, and keep it up far past the point of reasonableness, and it'll be all rainbow lights and googly eyes, and I'll make myself some yellow foods and stick cloves in an orange to celebrate the sun coming back. And maybe also pancakes.

This wasn't the entry I intended to write, I'm trying to figure out how to talk about discord servers and self introductions and unspoken ingroup rules, and in general how people do people things at each other, but Maybe tomorrow I'll unravel that mystery. Today I decided to just try for the part where I hit post.

I did a clove orange already this year. They smell so nice when they're fresh, but mine is looking pretty wrinkly already (the air in my house is super dry due to the woodstove). I'm debating doing another but I honestly think I'm going to take the orange I have and sacrifice it on the altar of cranberry-orange, which I love and make with a teeny 1/4 cup of sugar. It's so tart and delicious.
