Still find it amazing how on a whim last year I booked an archery class and now I regularly go to practice with my own bow.
I don't feel like it has changed my life drastically, but it has changed it for the better!

Often I forget I am aging since I just have energy and strength to do many things (when I have adequate rest) but then I throw my back out moving tables around and I'm like... oh... right I might need to ask for help sometimes. 😂

Okay so I have not watched the Hockey Show but I am hearing it is set in Ottawa? Is this true? 👀

I should post cat content on here, especially because my adopted son, Chester, is becoming more lovey with me lately.

I am eternally amused by the surprising number (to me) of queer folk interested in either cars in general or EVs.
I mean the number isn't super staggering but it's always more than I expected.

My shuffle gave me an epic trio on my way to the range today.
In order:
1. Still Alive (Instrumental) - Lisa Miskovsky [Theme from the original Mirror's Edge]
2. Brutalizer - Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross [from Challengers]
3. End of Line - Daft Punk [from Tron: Legacy]

Range days with the music in are so funny because I've got to keep the emotions balanced (vulcan style) so I'll just be at full draw with peak RBF but Chappell Roan will be blasting in my ears and some part of my brain is just vibing. 😂

Had someone accuse me of hacking and being jobless in an FPS shooter tonight. So I have that going for me.

While I wasn't in it, today was the last class at the range for this year (which I shot alongside).
Makes me think about how far I have come since about a year ago and how much more there still is to achieve.
I'll still be able to come here over the holidays too!

I am so pleased with my baking efforts!
This is a Mint Oreo cream pie! Original recipe does not use mint oreos but I was going for that Mint Oreo DQ Blizzard taste and look.

It looks like all the league scores got calculated and I still win my division?
I'm going to wait for an official announcement before I celebrate.

More context on the skewered elf, last night was our Christmas Social at the range.
First part was solving a murder mystery by shooting clues, the second part was shooting the "bad" elves for fun.
Let me tell you these guys cause a lot of bounce outs for lower poundage bows! 😂

I'm very curious how many other gay bear archers there are out there. 🤔

Fittingly after the last TADC episode my Jax pin has broken containment (I'm pretty sure he just fell off in the trunk of my car but still, hilarious timing!)

I'm like... 85% over those illnesses I had this week?
Pretty much all the remains is the clearing out of stuff.
Still weird how it has all worked out. Never had so many minor illnesses in a year before.

It wouldn't be the holidays without me getting some horrible ailment. This time a nasty sinus infection.
Non-zero chance I might need to go to a hospital/urgent care just to get antibiotics because can't get an appointment at the Dr's and pharmacists can't prescribe them.

At the very least I know there are no more competitions for me this calendar year.
I can work out my nerves and build that consistency for the winter league and the upcoming registered tournaments.

Another look at today's odd score.
A tale of inconsistency. It's like for one arrow out of three I just could not keep it together at all.
I don't get it when less than a month ago I put two scores in the 240's and a score in the 230's during an actual competition.
I don't get it... at all.

Only a 205 today. My top 6 average of 231.67 will stand.
If I end up coming short in the league it will be because I couldn't keep my head together.
Today I'd put a top arrow for an end no lower than a 7, 2nd no lower than a 6 then the last would be in the outlands.
No misses but still.
