I think I'd make some different choices for the crowns on the left now but 🤷🏻‍♀️ it's going okay for starting with no plan.

The whole thing is really pretty. She wrote a whole story and illustrated it so you're basically coloring your own fairy tale book. I started with the title page then flipped through it for the first time and saw the same pattern and wanted them to match, but then the page on the left had to also.

(nvm that the medication isn't exactly a breeze/without suffering. to them it's the wrong *kind* of suffering - as with all illness, which wouldn't happen if you took better care of yourself)

And then Baby Billy pops in: Hey now, listen here now, this is big time silver *screen*. Gideon’s gonna be a international known talent! Just like his uncle, yes, he's lucky he has good ol Baby Billy here to show him the ropes. Gideon: Oh, Uncle Baby Billy, I have an agent I don't...

though tbh joke's on me while the yard we ended up with is gigantic and has plenty of very tall and beautiful trees and we see various woodland critters i got hay fever for the first time because there's too much nature.

I loved the books I had for Paris and Rome, but I'd just *read* them and consulted bits as needed and we did our own thing. This time I played tour guide and made Paul walk with me while I read the blurbs and it was really fun 😂

I ended up with a sore throat and feeling tired and crappy. Gonna replace all the beautiful gigantic trees in the yard with plastic ones and put in fake grass because WHY.

Also I finished this and it ended up being decent. I wish it went more into the engineering piece but it was enough to make clear this adventure was A Bad Idea.

it's annoying that in so many industries you have real live experts who dedicate their entire being to learning and advancing a field and if someone has enough money he can show up and not only say "i don't believe you" but then be in charge of things.
