Friday DE

[thebattycakes]

Hello everyone it's me again, Bat! Welcome to Friyay!

I'll be filling in on Friday DE's for awhile, so that's exciting. :D

Before I kick off this week's Friday Fun I would like to mention that there is a brand new All-Skate happening in the main comm. Go check it out!

And now today's topic:

This has been A Week and finally that can be said and not be a reference to fire, chaos, screaming demons and misery, so that's nice.

What else is nice? In your life, your pup's lives, the universe in general. Be specific and tell us about your new job, your pup's new friendship with someone kicked off from last week's DE, or just point out one of the highlights about being alive like kittens sleeping with baby chicks, or warm grilled cheese sandwiches.

Let's make this a positive space to fill each other up with the happy and warm fuzzies. <3

I took my huge puppies on a long walk yesterday and as we were crossing a busy street they both heeled without pulling, even stopping to sit at the corners, and then went to sit at the end of the cross when I told them to. This is a first as they usually pull like crazy. I was so excited I dropped to my knees and gave them both hugs and treats.

That's fantastic! Bravo puppers! \o/

So here's where I'm at:

My brother's birthday is tomorrow. I picked up fancy dinner last night and that was good and tomorrow I give him his present which I think he will like.

I just got a notice that our team was selected from a proposal I helped put together so that means more work for my job which is great.

And finally there is a confirmed premier date for the new season of The Flash!


As far as the universe in general goes:

Kittens and their cute wittle tails and ears

Warm pretzels

New camera technologies that make it possible for people to see more of the beauty of planet Earth. Like seriously, I have been watching a lot of YouTube videos lately with the most gorgeous landscapes being captured with drones. Mountain tops, remote villages, glorious sunsets; it's amazing and beautiful.

And soup. I love soup.

My current contract is working on making me ready for perm hire, but there's still budget issues that may impact that. Still, I've got a job and while it doesn't pay great it's still keeping me afloat.

I'm finishing a miniature up today that'll have worked on some high light techniques on skin and hair that I've never used before, so I've got that going for me too. Slow and steady growth over the last 3 years of painting after 20 years of not is nice.

My boyfriend and I talked about how the inauguration was a huge relief and everybody i know cried at least once during it.

I started with a new guild in WOW a month ago and it's been great. Unlike my last guild, they're actually very active and much larger, so I'm actually doing content instead of wondering if our takes are going to play this expac or not.


in game:

Zenigata is catching feelings in all directions and feeling loved at multiple angles for the first time in a long time. Struggling with feelings of adequacy and being worthy of love, but that's a constant battle. He's wining a lot of fights in it lately though.

Speaking of shit that hasn't happened in a long time: Lup make Zuko laugh and actually brighten the fuck up. He honestly hadn't felt like that / been this good natured/happy in a while, so that was really nice. He might've finally made a new friend!

Lan Zhan is more at peace than ever, and though that's going to be shaken up very quickly, he's content with his life even after the grieving has been done. It's been a rough decade+ since wwx died, but he's content and loves his work and his juniors.

I cried too and have felt so much better about things since Wednesday. SUCH a huge relief, it is true.

I hope it works out with the perm hiring!

And miniature painting, that's awesome! I've been watching a fav YouTuber of mine getting back into miniatures (Jazza, if you know him or are curious) and it looks like a lot of fun. I'm glad you're getting back into something that you enjoy. ^^

I cried as well. And I think I might be feeling somewhat hopeful.

[zenigatcha]
