respoftwIt’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! We got our first bit of snow yesterday, although it’s gone everywhere but the hills already. Apparently a white Christmas is not on the cards...oh well.
Work wise, I was only in 4 days this week and most of those 4 days were taken up with meetings and putting out fires so it wasn’t very productive...I’m trying my best not to stress over how much I still have to get done before we close for the holidays on Christmas Eve!
That being said I took Friday off to go through to Glasgow where George went to see Paul McCartney play (apparently he was phenomenal) and I decided to go to the nearby IMAX cinema to see Aquaman. I had a bit of a fit over how much the ticket was (£17.10!) but the IMAX 3D was really impressive. Apparently it’s the biggest IMAX screen in Scotland which is cool. I hadn’t ever been to an IMAX before and the seat I initially chose was waaaaay too close so I had to shift back like 6 rows when the film started so I could see everything without moving my head about!
I really enjoyed the movie. It was fun, Jason was really great and Mera was so damn badass, I love her! I was slightly bummed there wasn’t any kind of nod to the whole Stargate Atlantis connection (even a really subtle one that only the hardcore SGA fans would get) but I did squeal when Colonel Ellis (Michael Beach) showed up!
I met up with my Mum and sister tonight for an early tea and to exchange Christmas presents. We’ve all promised to try and make an effort to do this more regularly next year. My niece was there too, she’s becoming such a pistol! We went to a family style restaurant that has a play area and she absolutely refused to leave, just kept climbing higher on the soft play and waving goodbye when we threatened to leave. Of course, when we pretended to follow through and actually leave, (going so far as to hide behind the doors so she couldn’t see us) there was a meltdown.
It reminds me why I am absolutely not cut out to have kids, lol!
Tattoo update: it scabbed over in a few places but they’ve all gone now. It’s still pretty wrinkly and shiny looking but the interweb assures me that’s normal until all of the layers of skin are healed. Unfortunately, it looks like I might have to get a couple of bits touched up where the ink is slightly patchy or has lifted. They say it’s best to wait until it’s fully healed to do that though so it won’t be until the new year when I look into that.
I’m off work tomorrow which is making me stress but I had way too much time built up and it was take a day or lose it so I’m gonna try and put the pile of tasks waiting for me out of my mind and enjoy a day with George.
I finished my h/c Bingo Card! Blackout! Woooo! I’m hoping to get some fluffier fics written over the next couple of weeks before figuring out what my 2019 writing goals are!
I’m thinking about doing a big round up post linking all my 2018 fic, not that there’s been much of it.
