brains are quite rich in cholesterol
Whew. It has been a hell of a week - we had Polar Vortex 2.0 to freeze our asses off, and at the end of the day Monday I found out about a work thing I had royally cocked up (just in time to have taken Tuesday off to do wedding stuff, augh, which gave me a whole entire extra day to fuss and fret without being able to do a SINGLE DAMN THING about it.)
My mom had come up for the wedding stuff; we spent Tuesday visiting the florist, who had done mock-ups of the table pieces for us to review, and then we braved the cold to cross the city and meet with the catering manager for the tasting. They were really nice and totally willing to adapt to any of the dietary needs of various guests.
Also, the food was amazing. I am really excited about all the delicious things I'll get to eat in June, y'all. :D :D SUCH FOOD. omnomnomnom. We are going the usual route and offering three different entrees for people to select when RSVPing, and as good as the entrees were I would pretty much be happy devouring the appetizers instead. (I really love food. Food is amazing.)
Mom left early yesterday because we had snow incoming (the forecast for Saturday is basically fuck you stay inside so I need to confer with paladin about shifting some of our plans to make that more feasible) and has notified me that she is safely home, which is good.
Other than that I've not been up to a lot this week; fixing the thing I messed up took all of my mental energy yesterday and today (but it is at least fixed and every mea culpa has been delivered and one of the people I apologized to laughed and told me a very funny story of her own mistake early on in her time with us that was far more embarassing and public-facing than mine, though not strictly her fault.) I just hate messing up. My standards for myself are unreasonably high.
As a result I've been playing Plants vs Zombies HD (yes, the original) on my iPad to give my brain something more productive to do; if I insist on having panic attacks I'd rather redirect them into OH GOD THE ZOMBIES instead of fretting about things I can do nothing about. Thus, the "there's a zombie on your lawn" song has been stuck in my head for days. fffffff.
I can't believe January is almost over already. It seems like it went by in a haze of "too busy to think" and "too cold to live." More and more it seems like I blink and entire months disappear. I don't think I approve of this! Most notably because I was like oh I totally have a week or two to work on those goals that I haven't accomplished--wait. No. No, I really don't. (I'm trying to be okay with this and not really succeeding, but that's a matter for the goals roundup post rather than this one.)
In completely unrelated news, I'm getting progressively more excited for Exalted third edition, because it looks like it's going to be pretty great. I just hope the rules end up being a lot more streamlined than 2nd ed; I've learnt to work with it, but I like my games best when I can resolve most things without dice. (That being said I do so very love scooping up thirty d10s to roll an attack. It makes such a satisfying rattle.)
