We are reaping the benefits of living in a one story house. No downstairs neighbors to worry about means the 15 minute aerobic walking videos can be used without guilt.
It's too fucking cold to be outside, so this is the best alternative... for the moment anyway.

Our DM has to be so done with our party. She basically offered us an easy button to get to our final BBEG, which means we should wrap up our 2 year campaign by the end of January.
Next session is travel and prep, and then we fight after the new year.

I'm burning off my "excess" PTO on Fridays for the rest of this month since I'm only allowed to roll over 80 hours.
Tomorrow was supposed to be the day I sit and watch ancient Christmas movies and spin the yarn.
Now I'm probably going to do those with a massive pit in my stomach. Yay jobs!

Today is one of those days when I realize I have a fake job that someone made up because someone made up another job, and it's fake jobs all the way down.

Discworld QOTD, from Mort
"Then Mort said, ‘What do all those symbols mean?’
‘Sodomy non sapiens,’ said Albert under his breath.
‘What does that mean?’
‘Means I’m buggered if I know.’"

My week off from work comes to a close today. It's been full of cleaning, cooking, and baking. And I capped it off by completely servicing our KitchenAid mixer and making turkey wild rice soup.
I'm not sure how the experience of going back to work is going to compare to all of this.

In the throes of prepping for hosting the big bird meal tomorrow.
"Thankfully" it's mostly meal prep and not the frantic housecleaning I grew up with.
I'm also putting on Band of Brothers, since at some point in my early adulthood that was always on during this holiday.

Today's episode of @sayswhopodcast.com is taking me back to the time of my long gone LiveJournal.
The cringe is only bearable because I'm experiencing it by proxy.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Is there a limit to the amount of disgust I can feel in regards to certain people and their actions? Not to mention people who choose to JUSTIFY said actions because of "technicalities" I'd actually say are in fact NOT capable of making the actions justifiable.

Given how we are bombarded by bad news, it can feel like no matter how hard we try, nothing gets better. As natural & understandable as that feeling is it is also...bullshit. Here are some of the things Authors Against Book Bans have accomplished this year...

I always find out the next day we could have seen an aurora. Luckily, I caught sight of an aurora photo before we went to bed. We can absolutely see the lights from our place.
It would be better somewhere darker, but we were able to stand out on the lawn and look up at all sorts of reds and greens.

Really not appreciating the commercial I just saw for Perdue chicken strips where the mom is like "I'm giving my daughter these nice crispy chicken strips even though she doesn't deserve it."
Right, because only "good" children deserve a "quality" meal.

Having done the math with how much candy we had to give away, and what we had left over: It's possible we did have the 750 visitors my co-worker said she usually gets.
It was definitely an experiment, but one we are very much looking forward to repeating next year.

Had our first chance at trick or treaters in our new place.
We didn't keep track, but we had at least a couple hundred show up. We managed not to run out of stuff to hand out, and were the last ones to close up on our block.

Definitely don't recommend vertigo as a personal balance experience.
Genuinely thought I was having some sort of episode this morning, to the point of going to the walk-in clinic.
Apparently now I have exercises to do to realign a crystal.

And no more sleep for me, after dreaming I purposely loosened and then extracted my upper incisors and some extras.
I was watching myself do this in a mirror, but it was happening like if you were extracting a splinter. I'm sure that's always what teeth pulling is like.

I'm beginning to feel I was tricked into continuing Act 3 of Silksong. GMS was not a hard fight for me, possibly due to my recent encounter w/ the First Sinner, but the Abyss is just kicking my ass; everything I've learned has just vanished from my muscle memory. Platforming can go diaf.

Definitely true of our local protest today.
We were both worried on our way there, but once we were around the group that anxiety dissipated pretty quickly.

I played in a basically impromptu street band at our protest today. I don't think the organizer anticipated such a warm reception, or a decent turnout.
Hopefully it will be a presence at future assemblies. #NoKings

It's taken me over a month, but I finished Act 2 of Silksong yesterday; I'm just not ready to deal with Act 3 yet.
And after all my fretting about Grand Mother Silk it wasn't too bad? I loathe that "git gud" is a requirement for this game, but at least it's enjoyable enough to be worth the hours?
