Various things
I haven't updated in a bit since life has been busy but good. Valentine's week, my parents came to visit and we had a wonderful time including going to an auto museum in Brookline in this castlelike carriage house. And while they were here, my Dad got to work fixing a table that was broken in a move and today I did the last steps and I'm hanging more art on the walls.
The week before that I had two teeth taken out that were becoming painful and my dentist decided that there wasn't enough left of either one to try and save them with root canals. My mouth does feel better but I'm still getting used to having the empty spots to chew around.
Then after my parents left I had a busy time at work with three days of work in a row including working during a pokemon thing. That led me to actually connecting with Pokemon Go players in my new neighborhood. I actually went raiding with real people this past Wednesday night which was wonderful. I've been missing that kind of connection. Also apologies to everyone in the area who I meant to hang out with, why is it so hard to schedule time to just be with friends?
A lot of this week was about home stuff, I discovered that my gas meter is hidden behind many pipes and can't easily be changed. Then when I was headed to work yesterday morning, my car didn't start. It ended up needing a new starter, AAA was great and I found a local service place. They had some brochures for local art places and I'm thinking about looking into maybe taking some classes.
In terms of watching things, one of my favorite Youtuber groups are coming to PaxEast for a live D&D game on Saturday, so I went ahead and bought my ticket. First con in so very long, let me know if you're going to be there. I also binged the second season of Vox Machina and finally got into watching compilations of the actual games. I came to that fandom the other way around but so much goodness. And it even coincided with my D&D having a full session with a new player who kicked ass and gave us a wonderful win.
And I just saw a job opening for a part-time desk position at my work and its internal and I'm going to apply for it. Since my perfect job would be half processing and the other half desk things, so that feels good. The weather is being snowy and slushy but I'm feeling hopeful.
