So yeah, sure, I did get an email late Sunday night from my boss’s boss’s boss’s boss that I had to jump on as soon as I saw it at 7AM today…
But he called my writing for him strong and clear. Verbatim quote.
Just gonna stick that right in my annual review that’s due on Friday.

I have a new toy, which I blame @dvoraen for.

@Rucket Those guys looked great! I’m really glad they included chaos dwarfs finally, though I’m pretty squarely over in the Slaves to Darkness camp myself.

I landed a dream job with excellent low cost bennies (yay state employment) and I’m still having fun and no stress! It was a hard decision to leave my old job as I loved the community there but it was getting too hard for me physically. But now even the worst day is less painful than the best day at my old job, and the worst day is pretty mellow. For now, it’s so nice to be able to breathe again, and have a normal level of stress. I also get to interact every day with 6 months old through seniors in high school, and seeing how much the big kids enjoy learning how to care for the littles is doing my heart a lot of good.

I am so hyped that Chorfs are getting a right and proper release and look forward to seeing what else they get in the coming years. That said at least we can be Comrades in Chaos
(I also need to see what Regiments of Renown they let us have as I would buy Skarbrand if I can chuck him into a list LOL)

They updated the Regiments of Renown document the same day the army box came out and the answer to that is sadly zero.

The army isn’t officially released yet, not until you can buy the battletome individually so I suspect they will update that document again in a month or so.

The tattooist I know using magic markers to draw these elaborate fake tats on his four-year old. Biomechanical sleeve, MOMMY’S #1 across the knuckles.

Life got hard and complicated, so I didn’t sell over half of my Arx Cat Tarot Decks. I didn’t mind, that wasn’t the point of their creation, and I’ve never been good at selling my stuff.
As of last week, however, in a small town in Kentucky, a witchy metaphysical shop has opened up, and thanks to my biological father being himself and showing off my work to strangers, I have sold twelve to the store’s proprietor and she’s just put in an order for at least ten more.
She’s commending me for the imagery and symbolism and she’s using my cards to teach her weekly tarot classes.
Whew.
She made a display and everything!
This is her favorite card.

On this first night of hanukkah, I am celebrating a personal transition. I keep thinking about how, on a night when there is that famous story about oil that should have lasted for one night lasting miraculously for eight, I am leaving my job of eleven years for a better one. The oil burned a lot longer than it reasonably should have, and by the end of this year I am burned the fuck out, but now I’m escaping.

A somewhat silly one:
I am a solitary person. The reasons for that are not all good nor all bad, but the results have been that I rarely ever invite people back to my house for anything, or really initiate hangouts (largely because I have a crippling fear that if people say yes, it’s only because they pity me and are good enough people to put up with the boring person for a little while).
A few weeks ago, I invited my gaming group to a dinner at my house. They came! I cooked + they brought sides, and…a good time was had by all.
As stupid as it sounds, it’s really the first time I’ve invited a group of friends over to my house for a dinner/hangout since high school (which was quite a while ago). I’m very happy that it went well.

It may not really mean much coming from a random person, but you did a great job and I’m proud of you.

My little sister has had 2 first trimester miscarriages, and it has been really difficult for her. She announced last night she made it through the 1st trimester last night with baby #3!!
And a special warm hug for me, she said they are planning on the name Juniper because she always loved my online tag.
