fandomonymousIt took a third session, but as far as I can tell, the vermin are really and truly gone.
It was not the last bad thing to happen to me in 2019. I'm still recovering from a number of health issues. I think I'm also recovering from the emotional traumas of 2019 (and some par-for-the-course seasonal-ish depression too), which is not easy from where I am but damn it I'm trying.
Plenty of good happened too - holiday parties connecting with people, glorious art (my friend's art show, games worth playing[0]), strange coincidences.[1]
I managed to fit in many of my Christmas-ish traditions: holiday markets visited, rumballs made, cards sent. I didn't get much in return, but what I did get matters quite a bit to me and will hopefully last me a very long time - a new phone, the nicest boots I've ever owned, some beautiful art.
I've got a remarkably social month coming up, including finally hosting games at my apartment, so that's exciting.
Still haven't gotten tickets to the Philippines trip, because of some other things up in the air at the moment. I don't know what to expect from the future, which is kind of scary (and brings in fears of repeats of much of 2019), but again. I'm trying.
Hopefully soon, joy. Hopefully soon, rest.

[0] Someone else who has finished it, please, yell with me about Disco Elysium. I have SO MANY FEELINGS. Also I forgot to mention that I played Thimbleweed Park over my Thanksgiving break and that was fabulous.
[1] As it turns out, a particular liqueur I loved in Florida that I couldn't find in New York is sold in New Jersey - in fact, at the bottle store my partner's parents favor. It's in my fridge now and I love it immensely.
