13 Years of Cosmo

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post comes to us from the Cosmopolitan Event, round one of their two-part 13th anniversary celebration. Their rounds are brief, twice a month, and this one is open until the 12th of April. Join their free group if you aren't already a member, and you can claim treats from several participating designers (I'd say about half of them had gifts) by clicking the rustic wooden crates. It is so exciting to help honor their accomplishment of thirteen amazing years in SL, and I can't wait to visit again next round too!

My first look is a scintillating outfit from #SHOOSH which is their Leeza Outfit [GIFT]. That's all one piece, with the appearance of a blouse, corset, skirt, and panties all combined! It is provided in sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. I think the steaming hot pink really caught my eye, particularly contrasted by the snowy white blouse.

We also can claim this wonderful Black Flowers - Gina Set - FATPACK as their gift for the event :) It is another one-piece outfit that shows off considerable cleavage, this one being a fun romper with long pointed collar on its blouse and a built in belt. There are Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes included, along with a HUD that lets us choose from 12 colors each for the top, shorts, and belt, and 5 metals for the belt buckles. Mix and match your hues, and have fun with this present from Black Flowers :)

The [FAME] Dress - Sima / GIFT 1 is a lovely pair of dresses that have a delightful mix of sex appeal and romance. The black (left above) and pink (right) versions each fit Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies. They both have belts attached, and the bright bows at the hem of the pink version are a sweet touch that probably inspired me to think of it as romantic. 

Next I got a bit creative for the sake of modesty, with my pose and a Photoshop flower ;) The [COCO LOUIS] Venus Dress - Onix is a sheer halter dress with open weave and bare back, in sizes for Classic/Dainty, Curvy/Dainty, Legacy, Perky, Lara X, Petite X, and Reborn mesh bodies. Since I can't walk around in this pose all day in SL, lol, I'm thinking some BOM pasties and panties layered beneath would do the trick to help us wear it to a G rated area. Such a pretty style!

My final look this evening is two gifts at once, so let's start at the top ;) That would be our [FLIRT] Suriya top-FATPACK treat, which is a playful strapless top in Cinnamon, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. The enclosed HUD offers 8 colors each for the top, border, and gems decorating it, so there is a lot of potential for variety here. Then I added our [ELLE] Pantie_Black & White_Pack gift, with each color thong designed to fit Classic, Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. I thought it would be fun to match the panties colors with the trim on the top for each side above, but as always I urge you to wear everything I share in ways and combos that suit you. I love seeing how several different people can take the same basic wardrobe item and each wear it styled completely uniquely to their taste :) I view my photos as the serving suggestions you'll see on food packaging, LOL!

Whew, yesterday was a challenge for my anxiety. Good news - I got to my dentist visit okay, and even asked about a problem I have that meant more poking and prodding (blister or abscess type thing on gum) which it turns out they have no idea what caused it. There are 3 possibilities and none seem to be accurate, even with an x-ray to look inside. I'm a medical mystery, LOL, which should be freaking me out but I am choosing to take a more lighthearted approach since it doesn't seem to be anything dangerous. It's not even usually painful, just tender on rare occasions. I know, dental stuff is not most people's favorite topic so I apologize if I gave anyone the ick. I'm also trying to do a bunch of random unrelated things at once and distracting myself, causing me to be a scatterbrained magpie. I was so drained last night that I'm glad I took the evening off from blogging, just as I am happy to be back as well :) I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

MIIX Anniversary Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're celebrating the MIIX Event's 5th anniversary, with group gifts galore for their Hype Events group. It is free to join the group, and the gifts are at most of the displays in pretty purple gift bags. A few weren't set up just yet, either no contents or no script to deliver it, but I'll be checking back soon :) The deals here are always wonderful, and the brands you can find are those of very talented and generous designers. 

For my first look of the evening, I am enjoying our [Luxury] Debbie Set group gift :) The strapless top and shorts with built in belt are each included in Legacy, Perky, Pushup Nerido, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Juicy mesh body sizing. There is also a HUD of course, offering 40 choices each for the top, shorts, and belt. Half the choices are solids and the other half are various patterns, which allows for a wide assortment of looks.

The sexy :::FurtaCor:::Dheart Dress can be found on the wall with the event signs and info rather than at their display, and there gifts for other groups there as well. This peekaboo dress has tiny heart-shaped holes all throughout the fabric, so that does make it somewhat see-through. There are sizes for Kalhene, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies included, along with a 12 color HUD and the valentine bear with built in hold that you see here. With the bear being an optional addition, I do still feel this dress is suitable for any time of year :) Just be sure to wear the proper undies or pasties if you're headed somewhere G rated. One of my favorite features is the intricate straps on the back, tied with a pretty bow like a sweet present.

Next I changed into the {EB} SPECIAL GIFT MIIX from Ewa Boutique. This treat has a pair of bold black roses in full bloom, one on the single shoulder and the other at the waist where the wrap skirt meets up, and it's all one piece so very easy to wear. We receive Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizing of this lovely dark floral set.

Dark Salvation has a gorgeous gift waiting for us, their Shanon DS Gift. This low cut mini dress comes in sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu mesh bodies. The enclosed HUD offers 4 sweet floral prints that are ideal for the season :) I'm a fan of flowers year round, but do get the strong connection between spring and new blossoms.

For my final look of the night, I wanted to show you a closer look at the :::FRIDANails::: gift called Nails- PINK 1- Almond. These beautiful long mesh nails have alternating solid pink nails and white with a heart pattern, for an eye-catching manicure that is so easy to wear. Just hide your body's built in nails and add the corresponding size from the folder :) They fit Belleza, Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, Signature Alice, and Slink hands. 

We had an intense thunderstorm whip through the area earlier this evening, but fortunately it is gone now and my power didn't blink out at all :) That would have been really inconvenient while playing Hello Kitty Island Adventure, because it doesn't autosave that I am aware of so anything we'd done so far would have poofed. We have unlocked a few more things, gotten some new quests, and got a little lost so there is some investigating to do. Meanwhile I am terrified about my dentist appointment tomorrow, which is a good time to mention that I am taking tomorrow evening off from blogging. Either I'll get there and be all nitrous-groggy when I would be blogging, lol, or I will fail to get there again and be busy sulking and trying to forgive myself. I will be back Wednesday though with more April goodies, as there are plenty to appreciate. Hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Limited Time TOG Store

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have what may be a limited time offer, group gifts from TOG Store. The part that probably has a brief window is their group being currently free to join, as they did not specify a timeframe so it could be just a weekend thing for all I know. If you read this after they've returned to being a paid group, and you really like what you see, you can either pay the fee to obtain the gifts for free (and access to midnight manias and lucky boards) or check in periodically for another free join period :) They do this from time to time, and this one might be in celebration of their new location as they have very recently moved. Their style and quality are both top notch, and I was really excited to get the chance to join their group for free. All of these gifts are on the same wall, and you will need to pay $1L and be instantly refunded to get them delivered to you. They all have a full price button for non group members as well, so be sure to click the one that shows $1L as I'm not sure if they refund the full price button. If you are in FabFree or SLFO group chats, you may see the group mentioned when it is free to join.

My first look this evening is our TOG STORE . Xyla Set gift, which is a flirty mini dress with peekaboo cutout on the midriff and crossed straps in the back. There are sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu mesh bodies, as well as a HUD with 20 great patterns. All of these choices have a solid color already selected for the strings and bows, and the prints themselves are a really nice variety.

This gift makes me think super sexy ballerina :) It is called TOG STORE . Heally Set and consists of the dress and sleeves that are each provided in Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. There's also a HUD of course, with 6 colors each for the top, skirt, and sleeves so we can mix and match. We can wear the strapless corset dress without the sleeves too, and I'm going to suggest some undies to make that rear view a bit more modest if you wish.

For some latex type shine, be sure to claim the TOG STORE . Fergie Set gift. It has a fun sleeveless style with openings to show off cleavage and a little sideboob ;) We receive Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizing, along with a HUD offering 30 wonderful colors. 

Next I had some fun with the gift called TOG STORE . Malia Set. Its bolero, top, and skirt are all designed for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies. The provided HUD lets us pick from 12 colors for each piece, and we can wear them individually if we wish too. I found it intriguing how they are each different textures...the bolero is sheer, the tube top shiny and solid, and the skirt has a heathered or mottled look like a classic sweatshirt material. 

My final look of the night is our TOG STORE . Abee Set gift. This playful one-shouldered top and laced up skirt are each provided in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The HUD has 20 patterns for the skirt, 10 skirt textures, and 12 solid colors which are for the skirt's attached belt and the laces in the front. Click one and it tints both of those accents at once :) The skirt's swirls are a creative way to complement any type of pattern you choose for the top, and I think it's a great way to celebrate spring.

This weekend went by pretty quickly, didn't it? I had a good time playing more Hello Kitty Island Adventure, unlocking new features as the game progresses (swimming, diving, crafting sodas for gifts, etc.) which was a welcome way of unwinding after therapy. Today's session wasn't bad, just a deep dive into the status of my grieving process for my grandmother since I mentioned my depression. They are certainly linked at some point, even if the depression has physical roots too. Hello Kitty and her cute friends are a sweet way to boost my mood :) Otherwise I am preparing for a new month, new rounds of events and hunts, and a dentist appointment on Tuesday. One of those things is not like the others, LOL, being RL and distinctly un-fun, but I'll get through. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Spring Kiyomizu Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got several wonderful treats from the Kiyomizu Spring 2025 Hunt to share, with an added bonus of a lucky board prize that I won in one of the locations. This seasonal hunt has 4 rounds per year, and I've been a fan for ages and ages, so it brings back fond memories while creating new ones. We start at the Kiyomizu Mall, and check around for stores with the hunt sign on display. These tell us how many ninja cats are hiding in that store, and they are very well scripted to keep track of those kitties :) We can click the ghosts floating above the walkways at the mall to get a personalized website link that shows which prizes we have found and where we need to visit next. Some are hiding at the main stores of the designers who have satellite stores at the mall, so tickling a ghost will be quite useful. We have until the 8th of April I believe, so go find your cute ninja felines!

Spring usually brings fresh flowers to life, so the SHOP KERO Off Shoulder Top & Tutu Skirt prize's pattern is a perfect nod to it :) Our bare shouldered top and fluttery skirt each fit Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies, with a fitmesh M size provided of each piece for classic avatars. There is also a HUD with 4 patterns for our outfit, as well as arrows to adjust the proportions of the pattern size. The circle in between the arrows will reset the pattern size so you can start over again if you get carried away with the arrows and want to try again ;) Why yes, that is the voice of experience, LOL, but we cannot break the outfit so just relax and have fun with it.

Melting Dots Freebie Store is a fantastic place to visit, especially for those just starting out in SL, and their Plaid Shirts Outfit prize in their ninja cat is a lovely casual look that is just right for these pleasant temperatures. That is a one piece outfit, with the tank top, open shirt layer, and denim shorts all linked together. It comes in a fitmesh M size along with sizing for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn bodies. The enclosed HUD lets us choose from 5 plaids for the outer shirt, 5 solids for the tank top, and 2 denim hues for our shorts portion. There are the same texture proportion arrows <O> on this HUD, so you can go with a tightly woven plaid or a more bold, broader striped version if you prefer.

I have some fun news - two of our participating designers have collaborated to design two gifts each that coordinate together perfectly! This bikini is the Shiorin =CS= Bikini199 sakura166 prize, a pink version of their ruffled string bikini. The tops and bottoms are separate, and fit Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies. To jazz up your nails to match your bikini, be sure to find both kitties at [::] colon colon for their Maitreya nail appliers :) This is 2025.03 Limited Nail-A, pink with similar flowers as our swimsuit. Don't worry, I've got a closer look in the next image of the second version...

Our next look is the Shiorin =CS= Bikini199 sakura164 prize in racy red, same sizes as I mentioned in the prior photo's description and the same pretty white ruffles trimming both pieces. The nails are [::] colon colon 2025.03 Limited Nail-B, the beautiful matching manicure for Maitreya fingernails. The flowers make me think of cherry blossoms, and it certainly is the right season to see them at their best. 

So while I was looking for both cats at Shiorin's Mart, I went upstairs too which was definitely the right move for more than one reason ;) Lucky boards are like a siren's call to me, as Xan could easily tell you, and there are a bunch of them that do not require any particular group tag to win. This is the =CS= Bikini Swimwear123 Leopard-S prize which is one of a few that I was fortunate enough to win. Its top and thong bottom are designed for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies, with wonderful feline print that I already associate with the hunt for their smaller ninja relatives. These boards offer "?" wild cards that anyone can click, as well as all the letters and numbers you can possibly have as your legacy name's initial. My suggestion is to hang out upstairs for a while and see what you can win, lots of swimwear as well as a couple of lovely casual outfits.

Is everyone ready for the weekend? It was a pretty good day here, and tomorrow is going to be in the 80s (now they're showing 84 in our forecast) so it'll be a toasty one. I'll be home relaxing, mentally preparing for therapy Sunday and then the attempt #2 to get to the dentist on Tuesday. My anxiety is having a field day with that one, but I am still trying to remain optimistic. Meanwhile I hope you all have a beautiful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Luna Chelsea Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting Luna Chelsea Creations, where we can find a large wall outside with group gifts to enjoy. Their group is currently free to join, and most of the gifts are set up to right click - pay $1L which is refunded automatically while your new treat is delivered to you. I tried left click - deliver from the blue menu that popped up, but it seems like that doesn't work if the item is 'no copy' which many of these were. Reminder that anything 'no copy' should be rezzed out and unpacked manually in case you need the item inside that doesn't have permission to be copied into your inventory :) I deeply appreciate this brand's continued generosity, and urge you to check out their VIP lounge with camping chairs and lucky chairs for group members too while you're here.

My first look is the charming NOVALEE DRESS FX gift. It bares one shoulder while having a fun loose-fitting short sleeve on the left, and skims down to a playful skirt with a couple little slits in the front. There are sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. We also receive a wonderful HUD that has 72 colors to choose from apiece for the dress and its attached belt, so the possibilities are nearly endless here.

This stunning dress is one of four variations of the same terrific style! JUNE DRESS 1,01 (lcc) is provided in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizing, with a HUD offering 9 texture options. All of these are color variations of what you see here, floral pattern with a coordinating solid color on the ruffles, bow, and front center panel. It's so flattering, and something about it just whispered 'spring' to me :)

I hope you realized I was going to share another of those 4 versions I mentioned of this beautiful gift :) This is the JUNE DRESS 1,04 (lcc) and it comes in the same sizes as version 1,01 above, however this one has a HUD inside with 22 patterns and 41 solids if I counted those little buttons correctly. It is indeed another floral pattern, in so many terrific colors that I cannot even begin to choose just one favorite. Obviously the dress looks just as fantastic as a solid color though, so we have plenty of those to choose from as well.

Next I decided we needed a quick romantic flashback with the JANELLE VALENTINES ED gift ♥. I've said it before and will happily say it again - hearts are not limited to one day of the year in my world, and the pattern on the skirt has many different styles of abstract sketches of hearts that give it a funky flavor :) The dress fits eBody Curvy, Freya, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Maitreya, Peach, Reborn, and Slink Hourglass mesh bodies. It also has a HUD of course, with 19 colors for the top and 18 for the skirt. Why the extra for the top, you may wonder? The black that goes with all of the skirt choices is the added one, and I'm showing it on the right side. All the others are solid hues to go with the shades you may choose for the hearts on a black background. That high-low bubble hem is such a fun detail, I feel like I belong in a 90s dance music video remade for today!

For my final look this evening, I shimmied into the MAY GROUP GIFT which is making me long for a tropical retreat. The pretty rose bouquets on the dark black background are dramatic in the best way, and I am always drawn to one-shoulder styles and asymmetrical hemlines to really catch the eye. This gift includes sizing for Erika, Kupra, Kups, Kups Squeezed, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies, plus the hair flower shown which is "mod for resize". I am so bad at adjusting things like that in a hurry, lol, so it might not be the best fit but I could have fidgeted with it for an hour and still had similar results. I think it'll look cute with many different types of hairstyles, but if it isn't your thing, you can certainly leave it in the folder and your dress will still look gorgeous.

It was a quiet day here in the sense that I didn't leave the house, but my hockey team fired their coach and then they won their game tonight :) Another thing that's been capturing my attention is a new cozy game, Hello Kitty Island Adventure. Yep, this middle aged lady is playing another game that is suitable for children, lol, and I am absolutely loving it! I did collect Sanrio things for many years, so I'm already familiar with the characters, and it is just something soothing and pleasant to do that can distract me a bit from anxiety and depression. We've got to support that idea, right? If a game gives me the chance to wander around an island with Hello Kitty and her friends, collecting seashells and baking cakes with her, I am going to indulge my inner child and have fun with it. The weather might be a bit rainy off and on the next few days, but holy cow how are we getting up to 82 on Saturday?!?!? The rest of the next couple weeks is all in the 50s or 60s, so that is startling. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

I'm a Fitmesh Fanatic

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have several gifts to share for the Fitmesh Fanatics group, which is free to join and has many participating designers who share information as well as gifts with this group. It is always intriguing to visit the shops and see their special sales and new releases in person, and all I had to do was check out spots that were mentioned in group notices. Then I just keep an eye out for the Fitmesh Fanatics sign where the group gifts are located, although I make it a point to ensure that my landmarks for you are going to point you in the right direction with the red arrow from your map if you have those enabled.

Our first look of the evening is from Black Angel Store, called DENRA DRESS by BA Store. Just head upstairs and you'll find lots of generous gifts for various groups :) This one shouldered beauty comes in a lovely sapphire blue with attached belt, and tiny slits on both thighs. There are sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies included.

The generous MadCatCreations is ready to charm us with their MCC - woman - Pink sweater dress gift. It has the appearance of a soft fluffy sweater layered over a satin slip dress, but is one single piece in sizing for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, Waifu, Senra Jamie, and Star mesh bodies. I think the splashy tie-dye pattern of the sweater looks great with the geometric print of the skirt, very eye-catching and creative :)

I was really impressed by the style of this next gift, the [DUSZA] Mielec Bikini - Maitreya. It tells you right in its name what body it will fit, and I would say that it does so fantastically :) The pale sage green color is gorgeous, with a texture that reminds me of suede or crushed velvet. The fringed top and modest bottom are linked together to wear all at once. 

For my final look tonight, I am enjoying our TRS Designs Carter Dress Lav gift. There are other colors available for different groups as well, so be sure to have a good look while you're there :) This sweet striped mini dress with long sleeves and boat neck will fit Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Khara, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Prima, Prima Petite, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies. I think it will look great as a long tunic top too, if you prefer adding some leggings or pants beneath. 

I went out briefly earlier, and the weather was decent but chilly for this time of year. I don't mind the temperature if I'm just in the car, especially when I think wind was a big factor. Tomorrow I'm staying home, and most likely will get to my parents' for dinner on Friday (not up to me) which I do enjoy. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

SLMB Group Goodies

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is loaded with SLMB group gifts, which is the ^^SL Mesh Body group and costs a mere $9L to join at present. There are plenty of designers who are a part of this group, sending info about new releases, sales, and events, plus many of them offer gifts for the group members at their stores. That is what I'll be showing you tonight, a handful of those lovely treats :) The only hard part would be choosing a favorite, because I adore and am so thankful for every single one.

First we're headed to .:FlowerDreams:. where the Celia Dress can light up your wardrobe, and your room ;) It's got built in lighting because of the materials involved, to ensure you can see the detailed texturing. There are 5 fitmesh standard sizes along with eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes. I think the pale green is perfect for spring, like bringing fresh new plant growth to mind.

I must confess that I love any excuse to visit Composer Girls Fashion, because I'm always delighted to find generously accessorized looks like this !CGF-*Satyana* Mauve/Wine Complete Skirt Outfit. Our gift starts with the cropped sweater in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, then we get to add our skirt in the same sizes plus eBody, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizing. The over knee boots are provided in sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, and we receive some lovely jewelry too - earrings and a necklace in gold tones. The necklace has a built in resize script so we can adjust if needed. This whole outfit is so wonderfully detailed, from the leaf designs on each hip to the many straps holding our boots in place.

Next we bring some sunshine with the ART & FASHION - SURREAL GREECE LONG DRESS gift. It has a daring opening on the left side of the skirt, and a single shouldered style for added pizzazz :) There are sizes for Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies included in this wonderful gift. I've seen some truly beautiful pictures of Greece, and now I'm hoping to find a Greek region in SL to visit! The sunny yellow color of this dress is making me smile just as much as the artwork that adorns it.

I also visited .:Bad Rabbit:. and picked up their Outfit Neno Golden gift for SLMB. The vivid colors complement the playful style, a strapless tube top with diagonal hemline and a short ruffled miniskirt with coordinated strappy heels. All pieces are designed for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, and our gift also includes a HUD with 2 textures for each. This way we can mix and match as I've done here, alternating the solid fabric and the crushed velvet type print. Pink and orange together make me think of tropical sunsets, or maybe tropical fruits :) 

For my final look this evening, I'm enjoying the sleek [ConTrato] Athena Dress gift. Our new tank dress comes in sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, with a HUD that lets us pick from 5 colors of striped patterns. The blue makes me think nautical, but I do like them all :) I'll always appreciate the versatility of color or texture HUDs, so one free gift becomes several at once.

It was a quiet day here, and I'm trying to plan an outing for tomorrow that is turning out to be a hassle and a half somehow. I must continue making progress though, essential for my anxiety. I saw the groundhog outside again, so that is another cheerful reminder of spring being here even if the weather doesn't fully agree. I hope you're all having an amazing day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
