Don't listen to "These Dreams" by HEART if you're ovulating, I'm crying! Haha but the blurb on Spotify for HEART caught my eye... Sounds exactly like the kind of world SJM is building!

"History favors strong women.

When women stand up for themselves, show up, and speak out, change occurs time and time again, whether in politics, culture, entertainment, or music. There might be no women stronger--and louder--than the legendary ladies of HEART.

Formed by sisters ANN and NANCY WILSON, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame®-inducted group not only pioneered the female-fronted rock band, for all intents and purposes, but they also soundtracked four decades and counting. Throughout this time, the band sold over 35 million records, garnered four GRAMMY® Award nominations, landed ten Top 10 albums, received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and achieved “the longest span of top-10 albums on the Billboard charts by a female-led band.”

HEART’s influence can be palpably felt everywhere from rock and heavy metal to hip-hop and pop. Eminem, Lil Wayne, G-Eazy, Nas, and more have famously sampled the band’s catalog, while Céline Dion, Fergie, Halestorm and many others have covered them in the studio and on stage. As a result, their music resonates in nearly every corner of pop culture.

As time goes on, the sound, spirit, and soul of HEART only gets louder with each passing year. In the end, they ultimately opened doors for countless musicians to follow, and their place in rock’s pantheon as pioneers stands solidified forever."

CC re-read - 2 small notes

Bryce and Hunt are cooking in kitchen & they're getting turned on by eachother - then the food burns on the stove & it ruins the moment, it says “as if a witch's spell has snapped” then Jesiba, the sorceress, calls Bryce on the phone... coincidence?

Another thought, the Underking tells Bryce if she trades her place for Danika then she will not have a place after she dies on Midgard so Bryce has to leave Midgard for her soul to not be completely gone... Prythian here we come :)

Pencil cactus/firestick plant warning

There are tons of these things all over where we live. Our sweet baby got the toxic sap in her eye today just by sniffing it too closely. Her eye puffed up, and shut, and her face got puffy too. The reaction was immediate. She was in pain, erratic, confused. I rushed her to the emergency vet - They got her fixed up, put her on meds, bestowed the cone of honor around her floofy neck. And $1000 later, she is going to be absolutely fine but is on a lot of eye meds that are not fun. I’m sharing our story as a warning to all pet owners that if you live near these things to stay far away and if you have them in your yard dig them up immediately. Some are green, and some have fiery-colored ends. See photos 2 and 3
