Hello, dear readers, and welcome to Thursday. It is almost Friday, and thank goodness for that.

After the chaos of the past couple of weeks, this week has been all about settling back into some sort of routine and getting back into the swing of schoolwork. There is still chaos, but it’s feeling less like a crisis and more like something we can tackle over time.

I honestly don’t have a lot to report this week. I’m tired, and definitely have had a few days over the past week where I’ve felt extremely burnt out and cranky. But also, I’m managing. I’m recognizing when I’m feeling those things and why, and regulating myself as best I can.

I’m working on finding an in-person D&D group. The first one I connected with fell through, but I have a strong lead on a second, so fingers crossed that works out.

I’ll leave you with a few of my favorite photos of Nova from the past week:
