The Lost Island, 31st Day of Childwinter, 525 M.E. (Atlas): I'm exhausted and don't have much to say here today. It's the 31st day of the year, and I think we can all agree that this January had to have been one of the worst months in memory. From the opening days of terror attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas, to the closing days of a pair of plane crashes, to the Trump inauguration and all the shenanigans of the new administration, to devastating wildfires in L.A., to snow in Atlanta (twice!) and bitter cold here in the South, and finally to my mother passing away, I have to say I'm not at all sorry to see this month go.

Take care of yourselves. Stay healthy and stay sane. Love each other and don't forget to breathe. Wear sunscreen.
