What I've Been Up To Lately

rodoYesterday I deep cleaned my part of the house in preparation for the holidays, and since today is the First Sunday of Advent and the Christmas season has officially started, I decorated everything for the season and I made four recipes of cookies, two batches of mulled wine and some candied almonds... not really a relaxing weekend for me. I've got sore muscles from all the cleaning, for one. I'm no longer as young as I used to be and my hips are starting to remind me when I forget. Also, at one point yesterday, the cat stared at me with a look that said she thought I was a changeling. I'm not usually this active.

getyourwordsout target this month and I'm still working on my Yuletide story, which isn't even close to finished, despite being long past the minimum. I'm almost through my third(!) rewatch of canon, because it's very dense, imo. I'll need to do a lot of editing, especially on the action scene (not my forte), but it's fun. And since I worked from home last week, I had enough time to make some headway too.
What little time I had left besides this in the past couple of weeks I've spent watching the second season of Maxton Hall and the new Robin Hood series, and I've started playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance, seven years late, but whatever.
The second season of Maxton Hall is pretty much like the first: teenage drama that makes very little sense once you think about it (like: why does this girl keep having to organize stuff like high-profile fundraisers instead of learning for her exams???), but it is very good at being what it is: a tropey teen drama. Robin Hood is good so far too, but I'd probably enjoy it more if they hadn't made the baffling decision to have pagans in it. As for Kingdom Come: Deliverance: I'm a couple of hours in and just reached Rattay, and I suspect I suck at this game. But that's okay, because the character I'm playing is meant to suck at everything too. I'd probably have more problems with sucking at a game if the character I was playing was supposed to actually be good at fighting and stuff.
