spacetimeconundrumSo. That election sure did happen, huh? My reaction has been basically "thank fuck" combined with exhausted dread for the mediocrity to come. Next couple months at least are gonna be ROUGH in this country, that's for damn sure. The Gritty memes were pretty solid though.
Temp gig has been kind of a grind and really stressful, but I'm glad to have the paycheck for as long as it lasts. (How much longer will it? A few more days, a few weeks? Who knows! They're being vague and mysterious about it!)
Finished my dS C6D Big Bang work by the skin of my teeth just before the deadline. That goes live on (American) Thanksgiving I believe, so there's that to look forward to. (It's art AND fic, oooooooh!)
Speaking of the upcoming holidays, I recently realised that, as of Thanksgiving, it will have been a full year since we've seen any family in person. That's... less than ideal. I really ought to see about organizing some sort of group video chat family game night or something, since we're not gonna be eating turkey and cranberry sauce together. (tbh I guess we won't be eating turkey at all since the spouse hates it and I'm not particularly attached to it as a food. Maybe we'll get some pumpkin pie though. mmm... pie...)
One bright spot - twitter.com/ArizonaCoyotes/status/1329247391518638080
In a blatantly obvious bid to recoup lost revenues, the NHL released new remixed versions of retro jerseys this week, and the Coyotes opted to release an updated version of my absolute favorite hockey jersey ever (the last time I bought a jersey, literally 20 freaking years ago, it was the original green version of this). So, yeah. I bought the thing after my husband looked at me and said, "just buy the damn jersey; it'll make you happy and you should get one nice thing this year." Which, fair enough. And now I'll be very stylishly attired in a year or two when it's finally safe to go to hockey games again. Will post pics when it arrives.
That's about all the ranting and rambling I have in me this evening, so have a good night everyone, and stay safe out there!
