Every single odd number has an “e” in it.
“Who has not asked himself at some time or other: am I a monster or is this what it means to be a person?” - Clarice Lispector
Everyone's got lingering congestion this year, so as someone who's no stranger to phlegm, and inherited the folk wisdom of a stage actress (the show must go on!) I share with you my recipe for making things better:
2L water
the juice and rind of one lemon (just dump the juiced rinds in, don't zest them, you maniac)
a small thumb of fresh ginger, sliced in coins
about a dozen cloves, some star anise, peppercorns, and maybe whole cinnamon or allspice or whatever else you like, in a tea ball (except the cinnamon if it doesn't fit, obvs)
good dollop of honey, to taste
Bring the water to a boil then dump in all the stuff. Keep it hot but not boiling – a slow cooker is good for this. Keep this pot on a low heat all day and serve yourself a mug every so often, adding water as necessary. At some point you will need to add a new lemon and some more honey, but the spices can generally carry over two pots if you're drinking it regularly.
The acid helps clear the gunk, ginger is good for the circulation, and clove/aniseed/pepper have some sort of decongestant/soothing properties. Honey is both nice and antiseptic, and apparently is a cough suppressant as well? Anyway, I just got over another run of Covid and this was wasn't 100% effective but it worked better than phenylephrine.
Hi Ranowa! I LOVE your stories so much omg!! I was wondering if you could maybe help me find this one specific fanfic that I lost? It's post-Reichenbach, where John is grieving, and it takes him like 42 days to realize what Sherlock meant by his phonecall 'note', and John works on clearing Sherlock's name then waits in a house by the sea for a year and a half, after which Sherlock shows up? It's driving me nuts that I lost this! Thank you!
Thank you so much!!! <3
Hmmmmm on one hand it definitely sounds familiar (the house by the sea is definitely a John-during-the-hiatus trope I’ve seen a few times) but I don’t think I’ve ever read this one! Anyone else have any ideas?
Hey did you know I keep a google drive folder with linguistics and language books that I try to update regularly

How to Finish
I drew this poster for Jon Acuff and his FINISH book tour. Big thanks to Jon for this collaboration, his book has some great ideas about how to complete creative and life goals.
8 / 1 / 2018 //
Tomorrow I start my finals month and let’s just say physics midterm isn’t really the thing I want to start off with. but this is my life/desk situation right now, flooded with tons of formulas that just won’t go in my head easily:(
- waking up to cold mornings and condensation on your windows
- brewing a cup of hot coffee while reading a book
- wearing cozy sweaters and cardigans to stay warm
- draping your favorite long coat over your shoulders to create a mysterious silhouette
- stepping through heavy, packed snow as you walk to your morning class
- watching the glistening trees, pausing your podcast to admire them in their full glory
- combing your fingers through your hair to remove the falling snowflakes
- sipping hot chocolate in front of a roaring fire, turning the pages in your book leisurely
- stringing fairy lights to brighten up a dark room
- practicing your instrument in the evening, pretending to play at night - but the sun just sets early, but that’s not important
- relishing the long, dark hours to keep focused on your work
- listening to the quiet tones of claire de lune as you scribble through your essay
Hi Steph! I love your blog and your fic recs! I was wondering if you could please help me find a fic I read a while ago but lost. It's post-Reichenbach, where I remember it takes ~42 days for "the fog to lift from John's mind" and he realises what Sherlock meant by his 'note', and John works on clearing Sherlock's name, then moves to a lil house by the sea, and patiently waits for Sherlock, who shows up after a year and a half, I think? Please, it's driving me crazy aha!
Hey Nonny!
Ooof, I have no idea which fic this is, but it sounds vaguely familiar... anyone able to help me out with this one??
