Things I Have Accomplished (the Saga Continues)
* 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?

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.

Which pirates are you watching? Because I can think of two TV series and a movie series that you might mean. I mean, yes, I could cheat and just go look at your posts, but where's the fun in that.
