I wonder if I still have my copy. I was really bad at predicting what books I'd be glad I kept.
Got a long awaited commission back of one of my OCs.. took months to find the right artist opening, then another couple of months while they worked on it, and I'm really happy with it as it really catches the vibe I was wanting.
Posted it in my Mayhem art thread for anyone interested.

While I was out at the clinic last night, my shipping notification for my BBTS order came in.
No, I wasn't at clinic for me. I was the driver for my sister because her daughter maybe has an ear infection, maybe strep throat.

Got my BBTS package!
And it's snowing gently, and I have a nice cup of tea.
All told, pretty good day.
Edit: and the gap finally called me back, I have an appointment about my food allergies on friday.

What made me happy is completing a Christmas setup for my Lego Santa sleigh, phase 1 (yes I know its past the 12 days thing, but my original idea changed) I just finished it, what I done is having two copies of the Santa sleigh to get the Reindeer and the stickers for the panels on their backs, put two copies of a lighting kit that for that model and with some expandion boards I got this working, I put the model upon some boards that are black and added some 1x1 pieces that are smooth and look like horse shoe shape to make it seem like the model is going across the black sky, I yet to do a wall for this and build a starry sky background, but for that I need to order a load of blocks! The original plan I had was to pair this with the Winter Lodge kit I got over a year ago as that's been lit up, thou that needs a bit of work as some of the lights that came with it, have already failed or the connector, just broke away and wasn't lighting up properly, so I need to order some more lights to aid that model, but the main job at the moment is to lock it down on a base board along with its outdoor toilet and ice ring and make use of the white bricks and other bits to be able to also hide the battery box, but that's just one project, I still need to finish my castle project (been a bit lazy about it or busy with work)
My job is hiring more people for my department. They shadowed me tonight as I worked, paid close attention as I did my best to teach them, and asked very smart questions.
This is promising.

Someone came over to look at the piano tonight. We've been trying to get it out of the house for a while now, and it seems like these folks want it. They just need to organize a crew to move it, and then schedule a day.
Plans got canceled. The weekend is all mine.
The IRS finally agreed to cancel thousands of dollars they claimed my dad owed.
I turned 50 a couple of days ago.
This is happy news, as I can point to multiple times in my life that I did not think I would make it this far.

Brought this home today . . .
Took this pic earlier this evening just to show some friends . . .
Actually . . . it was supposed to be a Christmas present from a student, but the usb port broke the day I got it, so the student's dad went back and made some changes.
I think I'll leave it down here in my study, for some reason my wife doesn't seem thrilled about keeping it up in the living room.

The last of the current gijoe collaborative transformers arrived this morning. Didn't even bother I was out shoveling snow in -11F.
Boomerangs, sling stones, arrows, the occasional anti-tank round.... maybe a SLAPP lawsuit or two.So you sucessfully dodged all of those Boomerrangs?
And that's not even getting into an undiagnosed congenital heart condition (corrected in 2021).The Seventh Doctor once said "You can judge a man by the quantity of his enemies."
I only consider myself to have the one, but a fair few people have wanted the job....
Happy belated birthday, my friend!
Took a nice, long, cold walk this morning (to drop off city tax cheques for a couple of people.), I have a nice cup of tea, and some swiss rolls right now, and a nice spaghetti dinner in a few hours.
Life ain't too heck, I guess.

Alright so... I've been dealing with hip/stomach pain for the last few days. Made it hard to sit at my computer for any length of time, I was only really comfortable laying straight out in bed. One side hurt more than the other, and I was slowly freaking out about it being my kidneys.
It was my abs. My abs were hurting me. Turns out shoveling for 7 hours over two days back to back is a REALLY GOOD ab workout and it's been so long since I've had to put in that kind of effort that it's taken almost a week to recover.
So feeling better after that.
Also: gonna ruin those abs some more; making a texas sheet cake for desert tonight.

Completely separate from everything else: I was making the icing for the cake (First time from scratch!) and I was panicking over the sugar: not the inherent volume, but its ratio to pot: I used a smaller one than I probably should have, it was almost over flowing with icing sugar... and then I started mixing and it just... disappeared and became this luxurious, silky smooth chocolate whip... It was amazing. Tasted great too. Probably would have been better if I had used butter instead of margarine, but still incredible.
