Summary: 

Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy never intended to blow up their life's work, but that's rather what they've gone and done. Now they're trapped 200 years in the past, with a broken Time Turner, a missing snuff box, a handful of overly-eligible daughters, and a House-elf in a cable knit cardigan. It will require the combined power of their keen intellects to get them home, if they'd stop arguing long enough to use them.
As it turns out, history is just one damned accident after another.

For fans of Harry Potter, Jane Austen, and Connie Willis, a historical romantic comedy all about time, and getting the hell out of it.




This was a fun read and I couldn't put it down. And Fuck JK ROWLING, just so you know where I stand.

Things that annoy me - #1

I'm going to make a new series. A list of the things that annoy me (in general), numbered but not in ranking order. Just in order of when I think of them from today onwards. We'll see how it goes.

So, Number 1 of the things that annoy me, is the freaking faces people use for their thumbnails on YouTube. Like, I'm sure you're that surprised in reality.

Like, I know you want clicks, because that is your paycheck, but seriously? It's so weird to me that this is what people use and it's apparently effective?! Since EVERYONE does it? Or near everyone.

Like just give me normal face. Or better yet, a picture of something else. But noooooo, we get the hugely overdone face of shock, in various levels of horror. Or the happy surprise face. Or the overdone thinking face, hand to chin and everything.

Doesn't mean I won't watch, but I've always found those overtly reactionary faces to be off putting and they feel disingenuous. That could just be me though lol

I see the gods avert their gaze from me

I have NOT kept up with keeping up this journal like I want to. Some of it has been time management, as in dawdling on my phone doomscrolling through IG reels or FB reels (I gave up tiktok a few months ago), or playing a mobile game called "All In Hole". This also includes dawdling at work, as in not leaving when my eight hours are up and hanging around until 6PM. It's just a me problem, really lol

In addition to learning my old boss is changing departments, other issues popped up this week at work and it was only after listening to others in leadership talk about what happened at the meeting at 5 AM (WHICH I WOKE UP FOR T_T) that I started to feel better. Honestly, whatever will be will be. And triple digits down in the stock market for the year is NOT GOOD but it'll be fine.

The new dog is settling in and the parents finally felt good enough about her to let her sleep with them in the bedroom and it seems to have worked out well. Midget just needed routine and people to pay attention to her and she seems to be learning the boundaries. I think she really just needed attention and people to care about her and set boundaries. We'll see how it goes from here. She is sweet, if mischievous.

Today also provided a revelation for me and while I painted myself in a corner with the credit card debt I have, I just need to hunker down, make plans and find a way forward. Ultimately I realized that the reason I sought so much distraction during the work hours is because I'm bored. Even if I have work, I'm bored with it. It's not challenging my brain, or scratching my brain, or however you want to say it. So I need to make some changes. But it will have to be in steps to make sure that I have my bills taken care of, my cats, my finances over all. Now I just need to figure out what I want to try. 

I had the bright idea to change some of my journal icons to Sleep Token profile pictures soooo that may happen when I get a moment lol

Well, it's past time to get my nightly chores done so I'm off, but enjoy.

I still see you when the lights get low

Don't worry, just making Sleep Token lyrics (or lyrics from the songs I listen to overall) as subject headings because why not lol

Finished a short Hannigram fic as I decided to read "Love and Other Historical Accidents" by Pacific Rimbaud because they are removing that fic from AO3 soon. I figured I should try it out and wanted to get the fic I'd been putting off done as it was short. LAOHA has been on my to read list for a while but just haven't been in the mood for Dramione.

Found out today that my one time boss, favorite boss if I'm honest, is moving positions and it makes me worried for my current job here when the platform I support goes away. I'll probably try to not worry until we get closer to June 2026, but suddenly I'm feeling less certain that I'll be moved to something else in this group at that time.

Anyway, time keeps moving forward.

Needing to whine somewhere so might as well utilize my blog.

When I posted this morning, I felt fine. But as I went through the process of getting ready for work, my mood tanked and it just felt very much like "The Universe is fucking with me." Nothing huge, just little stupid moments where things would slip or drop out of my bags or I couldn't find what I was looking for. Then, I take my morning pills and vitamins, and if I don't have something, like a protein drink or breakfast, I get stomach cramps. And this morning? Yeah, even though I had breakfast and my protein drink, I had stomach cramps for over half my 35-minute commute. And so far, while at work, my stomach hasn't been happy. Including random cramping. So yeah, whining a bit as a result. Tomorrow is Friday, thank goodness, I'll be so grateful when I go home Friday night.

Also, I've been trying to do my hobby plan but I think I'm going to try doing the weekly schedule because while I get a little bit done, sure, I always hate stopping. So yeah, I'll try that again, especially with how I'm trying to stick to this routine. It doesn't give me a lot of time to decompress in the evenings or makes me feel like I have even less time.
