Gosh it’s been a busy week, plus there have been doctor appointments to fit in. Really feeling this:

Really longing for this:

Here are some things I’ve saved in my feeds as this cold, wet March still refuses to be springlike.

(jk, I actually hired a financial planner last week and I feel SO adult [and relieved]. But this still crosses my mind.)

There was a frigid wind Saturday, two inches of snow Sunday, and four inches of snow this morning. I am this cat:

I am also this skeleton:

Truth:

Well, it’s March…but it’s snowing. Maybe I’ll keep hibernating?

Or maybe I’ll do this to my house? (From new favorite account, Illustrated Building Cutaways. Hours of fun!)

The vibes this week are “wow it’s hard to wake up” and “huh, I slept for 9 hours and could keep sleeping” and “ooh yes I do need an extra blanket on the bed”–that is, they are hibernation vibes (hibes?).  Here’s a handful of pictures and accounts for your own sleepy times:

There’s always knitting, though:

And Godzilla:

Stay strong, friends. We are Godzilla, deep down.

I just heard this week between Christmas and the new year called “Dead Week” and I’m adopting it. I’m also reflecting on what I want to take into 2023; thankfully that will always include memes.

Watch out, I have aliases:

THE ACCURACY:

Something to remember, even as I try to settle into a new routine with the new job:

And finally, this account is a really great follow if you have any shame or self doubt or do anything creative (in other words, if you’re a human):

I have tomorrow and Monday off so I’ll be back Tuesday with all the Christmas stuff I made. In the meantime, looking at memes feels like the most our end-of-year brains can handle, yes?

A thousand times yes to this:

A million times yes to this:

Nothing says “Christmas is just barely not pagan” like the Mari Lywd (art by AnneMarie Rogers):

Now that you think about it…

And finally, as we end the year, keep trying for this (art by Jasmine Co):
