a corner of biscuits and warm tea

Happy Fall Equinox to you all! This past week, we're now back to 70 degrees Fahrenheit! I think my body may have adjusted to the super hot weather that a temperature slightly below room temperature is starting to feel a bit cooler to me-- no complaints. We finally got our refrigerator fixed, and so far, it seems to be running smoothly! Bern's uncle & aunt were pretty helpful with getting our refrigerator to work & despite me not agreeing with some of their outlook on certain things, they were overall pretty pleasant to talk to. All I know is that they do like pies, so maybe I could bake up something for them? I know when the holiday hits, we will definitely send them some things for sure. I even told my mother about them.

Currently, I'm also looking forward to collect more kitchen essentials: a carbon steel wok and a sturdy toaster or stainless steel mini-toaster oven. I'm not exactly sure where to start looking for them because reading reviews and researching products feels like a heavy chore. I also need to replace some of my cooking sauces, as I mentioned in my last entry, I ended up throwing them away because I had no place to refrigerate them. Bern and I are on a tight budget, so it felt very wasteful for us.
 

I also kept myself busy by working on my drawing prompts, making up stories in my head with Halloween-themed characters. I just got done with my handsome Vampy Albino-bat person. Currently working on my zombie bride OC atm, I wanted to her to have a super frilly, Princess-like look. The lore behind the zombie bride is that she existed as a zombie her whole life since she was born and she's not really a bride, she models for a vintage bridal boutique and works part-time as a stylist. She loves the smell of air before the rain hits the ground, the feel of moist dirt, & wears floral scented perfume. A lot of my drawings are made for my personal amusement, so far, it prevented me from senseless doom-scrolling. While I do enjoy getting lost in my drawings, I do want to improve my movements and anatomy of my art. 

Also, this post is a self-reminder that I don't ever want to work for a company like this   So if you're reading this, please remember to take good care of yourself!
