    Missing double xp, but out with friends I haven't seen in ages. Totally worth it. 

    edit: also, quickly advancing through Achaea's stages of drunkenness irl.

    Met up with my ex sister-in-law in @Jinsun 's city. He showed us around and we had a great time. He's such a precious little darling. 
    I had fun! Thanks for including me in your plans!

    I got to see my old roommate over the weekend! It's always an adventure (a lot of drinking involved)!
    rant: Uber charged me $16 to just drive us across the street...what the hell. Also missed most of this new event. Priorities...friends or Achaea? The hard decisions in life.

    Saw Django for the first time. I regret not having watched it sooner. Oh my gawd the bag scene.
    While different, Sukiyaki Western Django also worth a watch. Yojimbo, and the inspired Fistful of Dollars as a Tarantino movie. 'nuff said.

    I love that if I can't find the CDs for printers/etc after a reformat, I can just download the drivers online.

    My stepdad, who I don't really talk to if I don't have to, brought my window air conditioning unit over tonight and put it in. He even put my colorful duct tape all around it so I'm not infested with bugs (old, oddly shaped window) since lifting anything (and, yes, even peeling duct tape now) hurts my shoulder like crazy and I have to avoid it til surgery. I am beyond thankful and no longer dying from the lack of moving air in my tiny house.

    My best friend moved back from NYC and we hung out this afternoon for the first time in a year.

    Yesterday I went to get my hair trimmed, discovered my new hairstylist is my soulmate, spent like four hours hanging out and talking, and left with bangs, layers, and significantly shorter hair. And had a ridiculous amount of fun. #toofemmetofunction

    Doing an educational event in a month and meeting to talk about setting up support groups at the shelter tomorrow :) I have also been having a lot of good interactions with people lately around community-based responses to violence and trauma. Just grateful lately to be around people who get it, who are learning, and to be having so many conversations that fill me up.

    fearing the worst
    hypochondria
    Getting older - like, older than 18 - is awful. Lump in my throat? MUST BE CANCER FROM THAT CIGARETTE I SMOKED 8 YEARS AGO. PLEASE I CAN'T AFFORD THIS ON ANY LEVEL.
    That is exactly it, haha. I'm more afraid of an exorbitant hospital bill than I am of death. I took care of my dad during the last ten years of his life. I managed his finances, I argued with his insurance company, and I argued with his specialist doctors who refused to work with supplemental Medicare. The entire process of getting sick in America is such a hassle. Before he died, he spent a week in the hospital, and the part of the bill that wasn't covered by his insurance was $200,000. We had to sell our house and nearly all of our valuables to pay what we could, and my mother (his ex-wife) took out a second mortgage on her home in order to pay the remainder. Collections calls began not even a week after his funeral.

    I don't know how people who have survived major illness have managed to handle that kind of burden. I think, if I was diagnosed with something life-threatening, I might refuse treatment and drop dead. It's much cheaper.
    My avatar is an image created by this very talented gentleman, of whose work I am extremely jealous. It was not originally a picture of Amunet, but it certainly looks a great deal like how I envision her!

    I'm so excited!

    I just found out today that I'm getting a promotion at work. This means a decent pay increase as well as an increase in hours. Which is a truly marvelous thing because I've been job hunting for the past couple of weeks. Trying to pay bills with a part-time job is impossible.

    The only downside is I'll be having to roll out of bed by 3:30 AM every morning.

    This is my rave, basically.
    I have 150 Lusternian credits that I'll trade over for Achaean ones. Let me know if you're interested!

    Oh shit! I didn't even realize they were going to be putting out a new album. Mike Patton, you are a god.

    That's epic news!

    "Were going to?" Dear, they have already, and it's great.

    It sounds more like Album of the Year than The Real Thing, but it's still tippity top.

    My personal favorite from the album is either Cone of Shame or Sunny Side Up, but I can definitely see why they released Motherfucker as a single prior to the album.

    Got home yesterday evening. Other than feeling like complete rolled crap, I am doing great. The family seems to be leaving me alone for my wishes to just not be in my life while they're having whatever mood swing that they are having. Healing is going good. :)

    My meeting with my second job went amazingly well, I have consulting offers falling into my lap, there's grant money available to run programs at the shelter PRN, and so much awesome stuff lined up the next six weeks. My biggest issue will be not spending all my time there.

    I get my first check since my raise at my main job tomorrow and I'm about to knock out certification for the training for my promotion on Tuesday. The check is already mostly spoken for, no Artie packages for me, but still, that pay stub is sexy as hell. And my schedule will actually stabilize in a month or two. Hopefully.

    Now I just need the rest of my life to get its act together, LOL.

    I feel like I spend too much time in this thread. Hi again!

    Talked to my advisor today. I started a new (distance learning) graduate program this past year after being out of school for several years. It is pretty laid back and I have really enjoyed it, but it's also a big time commitment. Health and personal things sort of fell apart last term and I am working full time which most other students aren't and work has been chaotic. I wasn't able to get my shit together in time for end-of-year exams this month. I was seriously considering not going back next year. I have a lot of shame around it because once upon a time I was a super type A student who could work and go to school full time and deal with all other kinds of stressful nonsense and still have it together on the first try. I am slooooowly coming to accept that that's not a thing I can do anymore.

    Anyway, my rave is that my program is very understanding, my scholarship will cover me repeating some courses and exams, and I'm sticking with it :)

    I finally managed to borrow a copy of le Guin's The Farthest Shore and start to complete my reading of the Earthsea series!

    Also, I never really had the feeling of anticipation for any show, movie, or game to be released, but the sudden announcement of Aria the Avvenire has got me caught up in a wild ride in the hype gondola! I honestly never have felt anticipation or hype this strong before, so this is pretty exciting - and now I get why people can be very vocal about the shows they looked forward to.

    I'm out of town on business for a while and it's been pretty rough being away from family and friends for this long, but a couple days ago I ran into a dear colleague at the office. After talking shop for a while, we talked about what games we are into.. Long story short, we may have a new Achaean joining us for a while to see if he likes life in Sapience or not. 

    I'm super excited! And y'all better be on your best/(worst) behavior. Either way, I just hope things are fun.
