I am burnt out...last week was very hard to get through mentally but now I'm looking at 3 days of work left for the year and then I'm off until January 4th. I so need that time. I've been using my bujo for things not very pretty but for simple lists of things to do for the week. i had 8 things on that list last week and I got through 5.5 of them which I thought was pretty good. But I prepped from one of those items over the weekend which is shipping stuff out today after my dentist appointment.

I was able to relax and sleep and I finished my shawl which has been bothering me that its been not done. I have a fun knitting project I want to do before xmas. I also did all of the wrapping of things I had in the house for xmas and Benton and I got the tree decorated. It was a week after we got the tree up and things have been slow but its been nice and the tree looks really good. Very simple in some ways and I like it.



I've been reading a lot of fan fic and that is also okay. There was a big deluge of fics for Stucky fandom and I've been really enjoying things. I'm almost done with the Iron Druid book and hope to finish that this week.

I'm really looking forward to vacation. Mel is done tomorrow. I'm done Wednesday. Benton is done Thursday at noon. It will be nice. I can then get some effort into the my CCC due to just being busy with holiday prep. My studio was filled with boxes of stuff to be wrapped and that is now gone minus the stocking stuffers and things I need to ship this week.

I've been really happy with my advent calendar from Black Oak Workshop and its been really cool to see that my interpretation of the ghosty on the second set of dice looked like the the ghosts from scooby doo and my dice on the 13th was a scooby colored D20 with the 1 being "Ruh Roh" on it. I died. So fun.

The gaming group was minus Paul but we still did a bit of gaming..no dice rolled but some information gathered and us getting sucked into Holmes on Homes. lferion stopped by for some dinner and company and it was a good night. Drew had a spare drain and they got it hooked up so it only drips a bit in the bathroom. Will see what happens when the ikea part gets here but at least the sink is useable. Slept really well though the girls were growly little bitches. Got up and started working on getting photos from quest ready. Luckily they were all out of doors on a perfect light day but Tati took over 500 shots of just the fighting...so I had to cull the heard and will be uploading things soon for showing off.

Richard showed up with donuts and while we were munching ari called to ask if we wanted to see Jones or not. We went to the 11am show and it was great. I didn't expect a lot but good fight scenes, some comedy at peoples expenses, one liners and camp. I got what I asked for and really enjoyed it. Lots of fun. Matinee price was perfect. We then looked around the gaming store and got Last Night on Earth and then looked at KayBee toys. After a quick stop for gelato we're home. I need to clean up my studio and the guest room and get fabric pulled for fighting pants work tomorrow. I also need to find and finish my wrap around hangerrock and my studio is currently set up for glass not sewing. Need to fix that. Should be good.

I had the single worst gaming night evah...I only got to cast 2 spells while in combat and everything else FAILED...stoopid spell resistance...stoopid concentration checks...grrrr...
