An Actual Update

So, I realised I hadn't actually properly posted since I posted about getting engaged, and that was weeks ago!
* Wow, planning a wedding is complicated. I somehow thought everyone else who ever got married in the history of ever was making it up, but it's ALL TRUE. I mean, I understand there are plenty of ways we could have a quiet, simple wedding, but when we both have large families that we love and want to share the day with, it makes it more difficult. Exciting, though!
* Of all the unexpected things, Gilmore Girls has become my new comfort TV. I don't imagine I'll get into the fandom much but it's just really good and low-effort at the end of a long day.
* Really looking forward to Vidukon now the dates have been announced! I need to get cracking on making my premiere. I'm pretty excited about it.
* I'm rereading The Dark Is Rising because it's that time of year. <3
* The last several weeks have been hard work - my pay date changed, and the way they arranged it left me with two weeks' worth of pay to last six weeks, which was no fun. I got my first proper new-date pay at the end of November, and I've mostly spent it on Christmas presents, but hopefully the new year payday will get me back on track.
* Christmas! It's nearly here! Aaaaaaaahhhh! (I like Christmas A LOT, folks.)
* Edit: Forgot to say, and this is interesting - last week I had a root canal, and since then I haven't needed to take any of my TN medication. This could be a coincidence or it could be more. I'm cautiously excited, if a bit annoyed that I was told months ago there was no way it could be connected to anything dental... but TN does go away and come back, so waiting and seeing...

Teeth are so weird! I knew someone whose chronic vertigo vastly reduced when they had a tooth pulled. No rhyme or reason for it.

Wow, that's bizarre! People are joined up in mysterious ways.

You also know Himself doesn't do Christmas (or any sort of holidays), so celebrate extra-hard on my behalf, right? Hee. At least we do get the whole tree-and-pudding-and-crackers at Proxy Cousins' farm every year and Himself has to grin and bear it :P

I'll do that. :)

Date: 2012-12-08 04:21 pm (UTC)Gilmore Girls is great! It's still one of my go-to comfort shows and likely always will be. There *is* some great fic out there (as well as some terrible fic), so if you get to the end of the series and want to read some, let me know and I can give you some recs. There are also 3 Virtual Seasons that continue the series from the official ending and they're great and definitely worth reading. (I have them in kindle format too if you want).
Where in the series are you at now?
I'm glad you're feeling better. I hope the pain continues to stay away!
