Today I have learned things at Steel City Comic Con. #1 is that I am old and my knees do not appreciate all the standing and walking I did. #2, Ron Perlman smells good and gives good hugs. #3, Linda Hamilton is the sweetest person.

@glitterchance.bsky.social had posted this last night, but this is my new tattoo, Owlbert the Owlbear. (Original, I know)
Done by Ronie Stephan at Layer3 Collective.

Thanksgiving went pretty well. Ready to progress to all things Christmas now.

I was productive this morning before work. We now have a cleaned out fridge that can accommodate the fresh turkey I'm picking up tomorrow night.

I also have an appointment on Wednesday for a tattoo consult. Jess' tattoo artist wants to add some d&d to her portfolio, so I'm getting an owlbear cub.

We started a new campaign last night. I was super nervous, but excited about doing opening vignettes with each player, which I've never done before, but they worked out really well! Everyone seemed to have a good time. My players are awesome! They understand the assignment 100%.

Shameless plug for a friend of mine. She's starting out a new Etsy store with her quilting.

I got this elephant and I love it so much.

It's almost that season! If you're interested in a holiday card, please let me know! I have traditional, irreverent and profane. I know some of my confab peeps are on here, so I wanted to post here, too. You can hit me up on discord or via dm with where to send it.

I can't believe we're under 200 days. I've planned all i can plan, and there's nothing left but the waiting.

Our holiday tree arrived, so we went ahead and put it up. Its not quite as full as the picture, but I love it. Seeing it in the window when we were coming in from walking the dog made me so happy. Ornaments should come next week!

It's gotta be pretty damning that the Supreme Court justices just declined Kim Davis' case outright. They didn't bother to sign it, just denied.

It comes as the democrats cave, but I'll take the win.

I got my ring for our vow renewal in May, and I can't stop smiling. I love it so much. Provence Gems did an amazing job!

So, one of my campaigns (a fully homebrew follow up to the Mad Mage module) is going to be ending in the next 5-6 months. I floated the idea about what the next campaign should be, and my players asked for another homebrew.

I have successfully changed the toilet lever and handle! Witness my middle aged butchness!

My dress from Azazie has come! Its from their collection by Christian Siriano.
I love it so much. Needs a bit of alterations, but overall, it's just what I wanted for our vow renewal ceremony.

A week after declaring that "I'm just not a Con person," Steel City Comic Con proved me wrong. But c'mon, it's Linda Hamilton, Ron Perlman and Michael Biehn! And Frank Grillo!

It's been a good week. We've finalized plans for an Alaskan cruise in May, Jess's top surgery is in 5 days. Plus today, I get to see the BILs reaction to the news that my sister is coming with us to Alaska.

Finished Hemlock and Silver, by @tkingfisher.com

It features one of her trademark practical heroines, and some of the most fucked up imagery yet.

In short, I loved it and literally clutched it to my bosom with a little happy squeak when I reached the end.

Wells Fargo can 100% eat a dick at this point. Because they've locked our account for the sin of depositing a fucking check, we're overdrawn and can't transfer money in.
I have dealt with four tiers of extremely unhelpful customer service today, and I am fucking done.
