Good Things Friday (357) and Link Love
January 2, 2026
1. We saved the best visits for last. The most soothing family and friends visits were this week and I can feel the tension drain out of me when we’re with them. Much needed breaks before I dive into the frenetic pace of 2026 at the office. (Ugh.)
2. I’ve been brainstorming merch for JB’s shop and have found a couple possible vendors for their art. I’m planning to order samples this month, hopefully that helps us figure out what might make sense for the online shop vs the tabling sales.

This is frustrating, though as PiC pointed out, expected: Molly of Denali Not Renewing for Season 5 Following Federal Funding Cuts
Be Healthy USA dot net is having an insane clearance on just expired masks– you can get 100 masks for the cost of shipping in adult and kids sizes. I think they’re completely free if you also buy non-expired ones (since you’d be getting free shipping with the regular price ones). (I just replenished our Christmas mask supply and didn’t think to look under clearance or I would have “bought” some of the almost-expired large BOTN for DH.)
Oh that’s amazing. These don’t seem to fit comfortably for the kids so we still haven’t gone through our last stash from them. I should try them for myself and see if I can get by with those.
