I love learning new vocabulary on the Internet 😍 (I knew about coprolites, but regurgitalites are new to me)

Morning update: lol everything hurts, what have I done (Easy fix, gonna get some coffee and breakfast with a friend, then swing by a store for some Advil and lozenges. We soldier on for yarn.)

I taught six hours of sock knitting classes today and had an absolute blast. I yapped so much my throat hurts now. What a treat.

Went for a walk in a floaty dress and giant sunglasses to go buy a bougie smoothie while listening to a playlist from college. Felt more like myself than I had in a long time.
