hello mood swings I wondered where you went

So, fortunately, when I asked for money for Christmas I got money. My bills are grateful. Yet I also got a few gift cards despite the fact that my birthday is in a month and I told my family to wait until then for those kinds of gifts. Among them was a gift card to B&N, which I fully intended to use for coffee and a calendar.

Welp I got the coffee but they had shit for calendars. What did they have in the manga section instead?

...the One Piece Color Walk 2 book. That's right an actual One Piece artbook.

I cannot express how much simple joy this little book brings me. And even after coffee I had enough left on the card to get it. Sure, I could have waited 3 weeks in the hopes they still had a copy when my mom comes to take me birthday shopping, but...really, what else was I going to get? More coffee? (answer: yep)

I had only ever seen some of these color walks in b&w scans from old old old scanlations. I now have a large color image of the dragon hoodie that Sanji is wearing in one...this means I will be sewing myself a dragon hoodie soon. Yep. Funny how little it takes to make my day.

First workday of the new year: paperwork and Etsy upkeep. I tossed some patches up there to see if they garner interest, not sure how to properly list our custom embroidery work yet. Still cogitating on that one.

this is my life
