Header Spelunking: (ill-advised)

1. Intentionally unbetaed, because this isn't a story, it's just a giant pile of feelings.
   


2. I don't even know how to describe it or anything. IDK. I didn't even edit it and kinda rushed the ending because it was supposed to be a short thing and was getting long.

5. James Bond is the teacher of Defence Against the Dark Arts. Q is the new Transfiguration teacher. They are absolutely in love.
   
   Q is beginning teaching at Hogwarts, with the backdrop of You-Know-Who soon to return. Harry Potter is attempting an illicit relationship, Bond is lying, and Q's entire world is a secret. The Holmes brothers are on the run, and Raoul Silva is far from benign.
   
   Or: The Order of the Phoenix, with bonus Holmes boys and a pair of not-quite secret agents.

Mel "Pop Heart" in pale pink

I still want these:



Though my favorite colorway of Lady Dragon was the one with a black heart on a peach shoe. I don't think they ever made a flat version of that. :(

I've started following Unfuck Your Habitat on Tumblr.

I have not so far made my bed, but I have managed to chip away at some things via "5/10", 5 timed minutes of cleaning followed by 10 minutes off. Specifically the dishes and the tea table.

As a consequence of reducing the bulk of dishes by about half, I was inspired to put together the pan/lid rack we got at Ikea and put it in the too-cavernous pots'n'pans cabinet, and the difference is staggering. I need to get another one of them, though. Maybe I'll go to Ikea next week.

I've also suddenly looked around and noticed some things that didn't even register in my mind as in need of cleaning before - little oases like shelves and baskets that, not having a designated purpose, turned into pretty awful gathering places for junk.
