Had a really messed up week dealing with the people running my building and getting my tenants set up (long story short: building regulations that go above and beyond provincial legislature put some draconian red tape in terms of paperwork that needs to be submitted on time, and in the very specific format; otherwise my tenants are considered tresspassers and need to be evicted). On top of juggling work and a few other earlier commitments (some of them were really good things that I enjoyed, but still took a lot of my time and energy), this meant that I spent almost 5 days with non-stop headaches and worrying.

Now, however, stuff seems to be looking up. My tenants are set up; workload is startign to clear up before the holidays; and apparently I'm getting a decent-sized raise, which is always pleasant;

Oh, and the relatives of the firm that we share office space with run a catering company and they are bombarding us with leftover desserts every day. which is probably less than healthy, but still pleasant.

It was pretty big news here a month or so back. They don't know exactly what it is yet, a viking ship or something older, until they complete the dig, which will take a while.

Gin advent calendar. Except I'm 2 days behind already.

Went out with the guys tonight. Somehow ended up with tequila shots.


Good times.

Amazing D&D session. Who'd have thought player characters playing Blackjack and Truth or Dare ingame would be so hilarious (including a Zone of Truth, of course; or as the Monk put it, Zone of Friendzone ). No plot was touched with any kind of pole tonight

If you're referring to the current glorious red colour suffusing this city then yes that is making me very happy though no doubt you're pleased despite who actually won...

Only a scoreless draw could have been better.
If you could do that against Chelsea and Leicester that would be great

[Tiste Simeon]

I mean I hate helping Liverpool but at the same time I love beating City. Overall it's a positive feeling

It's been a year since I moved into a bigger apartment, I'm healthier and working out regularly, and I'm just proud of myself, even though there's always stuff to improve.

Watched the match with my dad in his local. Cracking watch for a neutral!

Going on a date on Sunday was not expecting this!

I demand details, playa!

Like: is he good enough for you?
Of course not, but maybe with some "adjustments" he could become "tolerable" ...

As he's not a blacksmith I'm sure Tiste will say no he isn't!

He's the oldest friend of one of my D&D group, who was at pains to say he wouldn't have put us in touch if he didn't think it was worthwhile (and I believe him - he knows my history and it's his oldest friend). Been nattering this week and we've plenty in common and he seems lovely. Given said D&D chap likes about ten people in the whole world, it was a pretty good yardstick to begin with anyway. We shall see!

Hmmmm ... very well we shall permit this.

However Tiste Simeon shall chaperone you.
In uniform.

I have spoken.

And he's gonna have the retro egg shaped hat on. Yes

[Tiste Simeon]

Indeed. I shall report back forthwith.

Disappointed that he is not a blacksmith. Is he perchance a farrier? That would also be acceptable.

Technical animator. So nothing even close
