Been a bad weekend for headaches, exhaustion, and general burnout, but babe, who doesn't usually like to hang out in a crossed leg lap and prefers knee mountain laps, gave me a piteous look after we came down from a nap together and had dinner. So here we are, her napping, me waiting for a Switch game update.

ohhhh... you guys are so in tune. I'm glad you have one another.

Had an all-day, 9-hour department strategic planning retreat, so here's my 5-hour scarf this year.

oh, pretty! what an exhausting meeting

Yeah, I am ooze, and tomorrow an interview for a promotion.

(admittedly, this is the third of this scarf pattern I've made, but hush, I like it and it's fun to make)

/snug rest up.

Clover decided I was done playing games last night

lmao

Just sent in my recordings for my 40th week as reader at church (125 tracks, not including the Passion audio drama), not including the Christmas Eve service recording done on Tuesday in conjunction with the local Presbyterian church we do stuff with sometimes. That's... a long time to be reader.

oh wow... that's a LOT of reading

I'm apparently going for the full Bible audiobook life achievement.

snrk!! Please get yourself a tiny trophy or plant pot or something for that achievement

There's a streamer who's part of a wider team that all contribute to a single channel, but he also has a home channel. I enjoy him on the broader channel, but he's mostly a fighting-game streamer on his home stream which isn't particularly my jam. No skin off my nose. Play what you wanna play. BUT.

He picked up Stardew for bad brain days (good choice and he's enjoying it) and it is hilarious to watch him try to learn this game. It's like watching a big beefy wrestler play with polly pockets.

omg that sounds cute as heck

This is a guy who's won Street Fighter competitions, and he's like, "This is my dog Chonk, and I would die for him. OH MY GOD Chonk is out of water!! I'm such a bad dog owner, c'mere pupper, there you go." and "Oh no, are my chickens going to die?? Chat, I can't handle that kind of pressure! AHHH no, they're sad!" And it's so wholesome.

omg bless him. Cute

An addition to the weird accidental things I've trained Clover with - we all remember "SCOOT YA BOOT" to get her to move, but I've also realized we use "STOP" instead of "no."

hey, if it works it works!
