wake me up

Ok so Disney is over and normally my brain would automatically switch into dragoncon mode but this year, it's not. 2020 totally effed up my natural brain rhythms. I am trying to get myself back into a pre-dragoncon mindset, but neither my body nor my brain is ready for it. I'm still physically tired from disney.

I'll also work on his boots tonight, and start on that secret project while PR is on 8) Question - does anyone know where I could find some fairly cheap ...
