I am absolutely savoring the last few cold weather days. Opening all the windows to make it as cold as possible inside, putting on my comfy sweatshirt and leggings, making hot tea. I don't want it to end 😭

@MsHearthWitch @dyani 🤝 I hate summer, too 😭 It last used to be okay and tolerable like, 20-25+ years ago? Now, I'm just feeling more miserable every year. Also reverse SAD?? Is this a thing?? Because d*mn yeah. I feel best in colder weather, and I don't even mind the darkness so much these days. Autumn can't come soon enough 😭

So, what's the thing, what's the big thing no one can help you with? How do you cope with it?

@RickiTarr Being scared of basically everything ever, being "oversensitive" and not very stress-resistant, and also being socially awkward at times. I dunno. If anyone copes, let me know how.

I'm really glad I waited for a sample of that nice-seeming linen before ordering. HOLY SHIT it's nice. It's really really nice. It's got the drape and slight translucency of linen in any number of C17th and C18th artworks. But more importantly, it has the closest feel to certain historical linens I've had my hands on. This is the stuff I need.

I've made an order. I'm telling myself it's my birthday present. I am no longer allowed Skulliver.

@Fredatron Now I'm curious, where does one obtain this wondrous linen?
