It's a quiet Dragon Age Day, and I fear we've seen our last Dragon Age game ever. :( But here's me, as a Grey Warden. #dragonage #videogames #cosplay #greywarden

My tea journey continues. Today's blend is gunpowder, and it's quite nice, reminds me of a good black tea (which I can't tolerate very well). Who knew tea was like wine? There are all these blends and types?

My cat found that missing puzzle piece. Well, he found it because he probably disappeared it in the first place. But yep. Maybe that missing chocolate will turn up, too...

Has anyone else been having more nightmares since January? I rarely have bad dreams, but they're becoming more common now.

High fives to the folks who keep uploading the Stranger Things play to YouTube. Making a play that few can see canon to a TV show is such a bad look. And yes, I watched it. #strangerthings

But will he face any consequences? Because that's not a word I'm even familiar with when it comes to this adminstration. UGH.

Join me this FRIDAY, December 5th at 7PM CST/8 PM EST for the series finale of Cosplay Cafe. It should be a lot of fun and there will be mythology trivia!

Y'all. This the headline of the week. abcnews.go.com/US/drunk-rac...

I made a new puzzle piece for the puzzle that was missing a piece. Screw it, I'LL FIX IT MYSELF. But I did contact World Market over the missing chocolate in the Advent Calendar because it looks like a few more might be missing, too. GRR. YOU HAD ONE JOB, PEOPLE.

I don't know what I did to anger the god of minor inconveniences, but yesterday, my puzzle was missing a piece, and today, my chocolate Advent Calendar Day 2 box was empty. Okay, universe...geez!

Spent the morning making a duplicate for the missing puzzle piece. Got a perfect match printed out, and now I'm just waiting for the glue to dry (glued the printed piece onto cardboard) before I cut it out. I can't stand something being unfinished.

Guess who worked on re-writes today. THIS GAL RIGHT HERE. Feels good to be able to get back to this story.

My ADHD cannot handle a missing puzzle piece. ARRRRGHHHHH!

There is nothing more annoying than finishing a puzzle only to realize a piece is missing. Jigsaw puzzle companies have ONE JOB. Anyway, I emailed the company's support to see if I can at least get a replacement or something.

Belly armor is kinda stupid, but I've got a template. #commandershepard #cosplay #masseffect #videogames #foam

I just bought four more puzzles. I think this is what I'll hyper fixate on for a while...

I just watched The Last Showgirl and Pamela Anderson was absolutely fantastic in it, as I'm sure everyone is already aware.

Starting working on the puzzle last night. I forgot how calming and fun it is. But 300 pieces was definitely a good one to start on. Also, puzzle mats are the most amazing invention ever.

So I bought my first jigsaw puzzle in YEARS because I wanted a LEGO set, but LEGO is too expensive, and puzzles aren't. It's The Aristocats, of course. 300 pieces. Thought that would be a good start since I haven't done a jigsaw puzzle in close to 30 years.

I ordered some tea samples from Adagio for 75 cents each and each sample makes about 10 cups, which is a DEAL. I'm excited to try some new teas! I've got my new cup warmer, too, so no more cold tea halfway through a cup.

Spent two hours putting a cat tree together, and fortunately, the kittens approve.

I'm going to get back to novel rewrites on the 1st because December is generally quiet. I've decided I won't be doing any Patreon posts or emails or anything promotional while I'm working. I need to focus on the actual writing. I think I can finish this 2nd draft by the end of the year w/some focus.

I wish Advent Calendars counted down from the day after Thanksgiving because I've practiced some serious willpower not digging into the chocolate one I have. Just a few more days until December 1st, though!

Stop telling me to support local businesses. Most of these small town local businesses are owned by people who voted for Trump.

Well, I dared take her photo. She's appalled, I tell you. Appalled! #cats #graycat

The thing about tea is that it gets cold really fast, so I've bought myself a mug/cup warmer. This is like a whole new journey for me. I also invested in some new diffusers because the one I have is janky.

People complaining about the runtime of Stranger Things season 5 episodes have obviously never watched a K-drama. 😂

I'm Disney-MGM Studios years old. I found this Disney World time capsule in the back of a closet. The soaps still smell good.

Started Stranger Things and had a sudden urge to eat Rice Krispies. And I happened to have some in my cabinets that hadn't expired yet. So I had a bowl of freaking cereal for a snack like I was still in college.

Me right now.

Also, got suckered into signing back up for Disney+ and Hulu because it's now $5/year for a full year. So I guess I will be watching Percy Jackson's second season when it drops.

Because my family can't make up its mind about anything until the last minute, I've prepared for "we might go to Cracker Barrel for Thanksgiving dinner" or "we might not do anything" or "some of us are driving somewhere" (and I can't go). I'm on call with work, too.

I haven't had a huge change in my overall health after giving up coffee, but I haven't minded switching it out for green tea. I want to give black tea a try if/when I feel my acid reflux symptoms subsiding (and they have gotten a little better).

Slapping that N7 logo on makes this real. #commandershepard #masseffect #cosplay #foam #videogames

The tree is still standing, although the trash can is not. I just ordered a jigsaw puzzle to keep me busy during the holidays because I'm feeling optimistic, and that's just stupid with five cats. But a girl can dream...

We have a running Christmas joke in my family. One year, my Maggie ran off with baby Jesus from my Mom's nativity set. Still don't know where it ended up. So we always joke that one year, I'm going to find Jesus.

So today begins the annual tradition of taking bets on "How long until the cats take out the Christmas tree?" Betting is open now! It's sprayed with Bitter Apple. It's tied to the wall. But...cats.

There are things I need to do to work on my armor build, but I think I'm going to decorate the house for the holidays instead. Just not feeling super creative today.

Are you there, Ceiling Cat? It's me, Binx. #cats #blackcats

Saint Maud is a weird little disturbing film that has probably the best last five seconds of any movie ever made. Chills.

A friend is having issues dating, and I don't date because I'm well...Ace...and only did a little of it before I realized that. I don't know what to say except "I hear dating sucks."

Thinking of one of my favorite quotes from Andor, and it's true: "Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks. It leaks."

When you try to organize your sewing patterns and realize you have way more than you thought. I think I need another box. Or two. #sewing #cosplay

Black Friday shopping done. The cats got a new cat tree. That's literally the only thing I wanted to buy. They need a new one because the old one is looking a little raggedy.

Having green tea instead of coffee this morning means I took took two 10-minute naps, insteaad of 1. I am so groggy.

A pack of small googly eyes exploded a few days ago and I'm finding eyes everywhere in my house. LOL #craftingproblems #cosplay

Disney profiting off a series it unceremoniously canceled is a choice.

Well, I did it. I replaced my morning cup of coffee with green tea. Let's see how I feel today...

Me after finishing Ted Lasso.

Hey Disneyland people. Apparently, Patriots in the Park is organizing a MAGA Day in Disneyland on February 28th, so please, everyone, book up that day ASAP so there are no park pass reservations left.
