so we did the geese thing yesterday and it went well, i posted some pictures ot instagram and can’t figure out how to crosspost anymore but i promise i’ll figure out how to reupload some here.

so much cleanup. eighteen birds total. oof.

we’re gonna see how much we like cooking them, and get feedback from everyone who got one, and see how it works out before anyone makes any decisions about next year.

now it’s morning and i don’t wanna get out of bed. i’m not even that tired. welllll the cats kept me up a bit, being. cats. but i just don’t wanna get out of bed. am emotionally tired, or something. idk.

we’re doing dadiversary stuff today, i think we’re gonna go late midmorning up to visit his grave– mom noticed in a facebook post about the wreaths across america thing that they decorated his grave for some reason, she’s been there so much she recognized it even though the military cemetery is entirely full of completely identical stones. anyway, after that we’re gonna continue up to the museum where he used to volunteer and to which mom donated all of his Vietnam stuff including his papers and reports and journals and correspondence, and we’re gonna look at the exhibit he’s in. and then we’re going to get lunch somewhere up there. (Saratoga Springs, which is lovely if uh rather enamored of its own loveliness. listen i’m obligated to say that, being from where i am.)

and then I might check on the weather and if it’s clear i might just drive home tonight. i have to work thursday and friday and i have so much christmas shit left to do. but i also need to help niece with a small sewing project, and i don’t know when there’ll be time. idk….. i’d rather have wednesday to recover, but i might not get that.

i had told myself last week that i should post a fic today so that i’d get emails to distract me, but i didn’t actually have time to finish the thing i wanted to, so that’s not happening. it would have been a good idea though! I’ll keep that in mind for next year.

i am instead going to drop a link to the story i wrote in a kinda fugue state one year ago, and posted within a couple of days, and i haven’t reread it in quite some time but it didn’t fit with the other Witcher things so it’s not in a series so it gets a lot less traffic. i had a modern AU to go along with this that never got written. But here, have Aiden wearing Ciri’s gym shorts and being ridiculous about it. Shorts https://archiveofourown.org/works/28297152, on AO3. (Your picture was not posted)
