miscellanea and hodgepodge
Courtesy of 
yaysunshine who passed it along to me, have a glorious summary of all the FF games. I am particularly entertained by 6 and 12.
It's been...a weird weekend. I came home yesterday and started baking cookies, and baked a lot more today, and we shotgunned most of s2 of Lucifer which is even better than s1 and I just keep sitting here squeaking about how much I love everyone in this bar, and Amenadiel's goddamn face oh my god I can't with him, or with Dan, or with Maze, or Linda, or anyone I LOVE EVERYONE IN THIS BAR I LOVE THIS FUCKING SHOW AAAHHHHHHH. (I also want fanart of Lucifer and Balthier kissing while Fran, Chloe, and Maze sit in the corner drinking wine and rolling their eyes--nts for kiss battle.)
So anyway, that happened, and I am still garbage at rolled-and-cut sugar cookies, and my back and my feet are killing me because I still have not learnt that if I am going to spend all day in the kitchen I cannot do it barefoot.
Paladin and I have been doing a lot of house stuff; we finally decided (two years and two months later...) what color drapes are going in the bedroom, and ordered those, and we acquired some nice new things for the kitchen that aren't Big Fancy things but like, a nicer dish rack, and it's dumb little stuff but I look at my kitchen and it makes me happy to see it slowly becoming a little more like a grown-up lives here. (We have plans to tear out most of the kitchen and replace it with newer appliances since, as I think I've mentioned previously, the oven is apparently original to the house and that makes it older than I am, and the entire thing is just poorly laid out in some ways, but this is a thing that can be fixed, albeit expensively.)
It snowed a lot last night, graciously backed off while I ran errands today, and is snowing again and scheduled to go down to single digits tomorrow, so I am Not Thrilled at Chicago winter, but at least it's pretty.
My boss texted me and teammates tonight to let us know that one of our coworkers suddenly passed away. Not someone on our team; someone who'd been with the organization longer than I have, and was fairly young--I'd guess late 40s early 50s; it was unexpected. I feel badly for his family--this is never easy, but right at the holidays it must be so hard. I'm guessing work will be pretty subdued and awkward on Monday. Right now I have a vague sadness, but no more personal reaction; as I said, I didn't know him well. I hope his family finds comfort and healing.
And on that cheerful note, I'm going to use the rest of my evening for fun things.
