May. 22nd, 2023 11:29 pmToday was a very good day spent with my girlfriend!
Okay yeah, fine, I also went to work and stuff. That part was boring, whatever. But then I left work right as soon as I was allowed to (this almost never happens, usually I am hanging out and kinda working for hours after last-bell) and read my book on the bus home, and came home to my Tuesday-love!
(sidebar: it has taken quite a lot of time and the weather actually getting somewhat better, but I have finally figured out that while biking is _faster_, the advantages of walking/taking the bus *far* outweigh it, specifically that I can ~do things~ while on my transit instead of just suffering on The Worst Road In The Entire City (which is basically my entire commute))
I have been reading my way through the Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries, and I have _finally_ made it to a Harriet Vane one --Strong Poison, not Gaudy Nights, no spoilers please, also this one is _so good_. I kept reading bits of the descriptions of artists aloud to Ezri and Tuesday and generally reveling in the prose *so much*. It is delicious! Some of these mysteries I've felt rather indifferent to, like I never need to bother reading again, but others are *quite* of the variety of "yes please, do re-consume" and unless Sayers flubs the landing, this will be _solidly_ in the second category.
Anyways, I did quite a bunch of further reading once I was home, only instead of a bus with dubious students scattered about, this was on a comfy couch pulled up alongside my ladylove while she played the new Zelda game. Heaven! Parallel play at its absolute finest, reading a book but also snuggling? So good!!!
Eventually, Ezri and Rey got very busy with An Elaborate Dinner Plan, which sucked Tuesday in to help. I know better than to try and hang out in the busy kitchen (I will get massive-stressed and then I will snap at people like an ass) so I stayed out of the way1. Dinner was...pad thai!!! Homemade and _utterly_ delicious, thank you Ezri! And there was mango lassi for dessert (thank you Tuesday!). We all ate until we were round and merry, and that was delightful.
Near the end of it all, somehow Tuesday and I got to talking about the game Blink, which she'd also played at some point in the past. I pulled out my deck and solidly trounced her five rounds in a row2 (sorry babe). As we were putting it away, she glanced at the game shelf and asked "what's One Deck Galaxy?".
I managed to entirely not answer her question by instead whipping out my unopened copy of One Deck Dungeon, pausing long enough to show her my name in the playtest credits, and then we sat down and played a really satisfying game of ODD! Sure it was just the dragon, but we beat it together, despite me rolling almost entirely shit the entire game! It was really fun to get to do this little cooperative dungeon crawl together.
Now it is approaching bedtime. I get to come in late tomorrow (I arranged it with my boss since first block is the rotating x-block but it's on the rotation I don't have a class, and then second block is just...not a class I ever have) so I'm quite looking forward to having a slightly later-than-usual wakeup time and the opportunity for bonus cuddles with my girl.
I hope you are well and happy and have people in your life who make you happy!

1: In an effort to make myself sound slightly less assholish, I did all the dishes afterwards. It is to everyone's benefit for me to not cook though, it's not fun for me, and it's frequently even less fun when someone else is in charge.
2: I'm good at speed games, and explicitly, I'm good at the _speed_ part of speed games. There are definitely people who can match-or-beat me at Blink (Veronica first among them), but I must be solidly 90th or 95th percentile on it.
