jennaria* Attempted to buy a house. Did not succeed, but there was a good week or so of emotional roller coaster before that got settled. I am not on enough medication for this.
* Took a Tumblr prompt ('spin this Wheel of Tropes twice! come up with a story that combines them!') and am trying to turn it into an Actual Story. Trying to figure out how much world-building I should do before I just start writing and let it be the tropiest trope ever to trope.
* Tried to read ARKHAM KNIGHT, which I think is an adaptation of a video game? Or is the video game an adaptation of the mini-series? Either way, too much fighting and too little character interaction for my personal taste. (And what character interaction there is...well, this features a version of Jason Todd who's a criminal mastermind before Batman picks him up off the street, and who gets brainwashed by the Joker rather than straight-up murdered by him. Not my preferred flavor of Jason, not nohow.)
* Participated in Knit-a-thon, despite the fact that I do not knit - and got a good bit done on my current embroidery project, so hooray for that.
How about y'all?

Date: 2025-04-06 02:06 am (UTC)Combination wedding money (yes from 2.5 years ago) and inheritance (this year) allowed us to buy it outright. Decided I did not want to buy a full suite, wife went along with me. Keeping her sleeper sofa (bought in '04 I think) and the loveseat (purchased by me at some point) while tossing her couch (which I bought either before or after the loveseat). Need our son to help me (or he and his hooligans) wrestle it out to the garage to await a scheduled big item pick up.
Reading a bit at a time on a Trek novel for a fic. Watching pirates for my current watching. Settling back to day shift.
May your next attempt on the house buying be more successful.
