I have always been curious about this but if you’ve already answered this then so sorry! But for the Sweet Dreams fics did you come up with the recipes yourself? If so how because they are god tiered and if not where can we find the person who made them so I can try more recipes by them? Thanks!!

Hi nonny!

The answer to this is both yes and no. I came up with the flavour combinations, however I used base recipes that I have jotted down in my recipe book for separate parts. So, for example the cake bases exist as separate recipes, the buttercream is a separate recipe and so on. Some parts I just winged together, like the raspberry filling for the Rasp-utin cupcakes, and toppings/decorations were almost always a "what will look good"-kind of process.

First of all,

Thank you for checking in with me. These past two weeks especially have been a lot and not in the best way. I'll be okay. Eventually. I have to believe I will.

So second of all,

To balance out the air of hopelessness and anxiety. I was on the phone with my supervisor today. At the end of the call she tells me she'll see me Monday. I say no, because I have next week off for thesis writing.

"Oh, that's right, that's next week. Well then, good luck with writing. Please, remember to eat."

It was such a small thing. But by god, it made a difference.

HR Director: so, how are things with you, how is the thesis going?

Me, slightly panicking: oh, you know, fine!! So much info, so little time! I actually have next week off to write and I'm going to work on it more efficiently and hopefully have a first draft of the survey to send to you and the board for approval!

I did not mention the fact that I have been battling what I can only describe as executive dysfunction and that it feels like my life has been slowly falling to pieces since September last year, or that I've been trying not to cry all day today. Didn't feel pertinent to the situation or the question. Because everything is fine. Always. And if it's not fine, it will be fine. When I have more time for it.

Great.

And in these next 50 years you will eat so many delicious meals, laugh so many times with so many people you love, shout and scream and sing and cry and smile so hard your face hurts. And you will see such beautiful sunsets and feel fresh cold air on your face and feel warm and safe wrapped up in your favourite winter coat.

Fanfic writers be like: goddamnit, this idea is so fucking sad it’s making me cry just thinking about it. Let me write it down so I can inflict it on others.

I have bookmarked six (6) sources and written two (2) sentences for the delightfully vague minimum 4-page assignment that needs to be submitted by Wednesday (which feels like a crime, who the fuck sets a deadline on Independence Day???).

I think my work is done for today.
