my alarm was accidentally set to 7am this morning, so i was up and about much earlier than usual. i am still trying to balance out whether a cold apartment or an overheated apartment is preferable, but it was nice to sit in the pale light from the back window reading, a little chilled, and drinking caramel tea. until i put my mug down for a few minutes, and the tea got cold. it's almost frigid enough in here to make iced tea on the floor.

i was very excited to receive yesterday my order of holiday cards from loobylu. the yearly card task has never been my thing, but i love claire's style and i like supporting artists trying to do their stuff independently. impressively, the cards sold out in about a week.

now time will tell if i will actually get around to making a list of recipients, addressing and writing notes, and sending them out.
