Fanfic writers be like: goddamnit, this idea is so fucking sad it’s making me cry just thinking about it. Let me write it down so I can inflict it on others.

Merry Christmas Eve!

Spending the morning thawing the water pipes. What joy.

**EDIT**

Not a frozen pipe in the house but under it or somewhere. Nothing to do but wait it out. I'm over filling the sink from the bathroom to wash the dishes.

I'm tired and have no real energy to do anything.

Still figuring out the new Tumblr but I like a lot of the newer features. I can put my personal rambling behind Read More's now and keep it locked to my own blog.

This Christmas season has - this entire holiday season - has felt so weird and off. I don't know if it's because there's still this strained not knowing what is normal or allowed now or if it's because of other reasons. Moving and trying to get used to life in our new place has been rough. There are a lot of things I enjoy about where we live now but the space is also very small so it feel difficult to get away and have time to myself.

I don't like the way our office is set up so when I have some more time, I'm going to rearrange my desk so I can look out the window better. I hate feeling like people are watching me while I write or do anything so having my back to the door doesn't help. Kid can't read yet but they are curious and like to know what we're doing so even online shopping comes with tons of intrusions.

It's nice being close to work but I haven't felt like we've been able to take advantage of the extra time. Maybe it's because I don't feel comfortable writing while so close to other people that's making it hard for me to calm down.

But with as difficult as some things have been, there's been a lot of good as well. I'm hoping that after the holiday season I'll be able to actually meet up with my friends more often and maybe we can make better plans about going out and doing things. Kid will also be doing more extra curriculars so I'm sure our time will be eaten up by that as well. All the projects I want to do I need to actually make time for.

I have managed to find some time to make progress on my backlog of video games so there's that. I can finish Breath of the Wild whenever I want now but there's still a part of me that wants to explore. For some reason, I struggle a lot with fighting in the game. I don't know if it's remembering all the different buttons combinations or what. But it's fun to do the shrines and find the Koroks and I'm also a inventory whore so I love collecting all the food and items.

Tales of Zestiria is...still a slog. I'm just trying to finish that as soon as possible to have it done and then I'll give the anime a shot. There's just something about the gameplay and character interaction that is making it very hard for me to connect with the game. Tales of Xillia 2 I loved from the start so I'm not sure what it is about Zestiria. I hope Berseria and Vesperia are better for me. And then I'll have to give Symphonia another shot.
