A Good Thing?

I'm recovering from the flu!

I love metroidvanias and just won Hollow Knight yesterday. I have been wanting to play this game for a long time.

Also, Christmas and all the stress that comes with it is over and that is a good thing.

I have managed to cook tasty food several days this holiday break. It was yum. And I finally got to the top of the mountain in Celeste, with no assist!

A dear friend gifted me new shoes today! I love them. It's Birkenstock's. I've always been wanting a pair of Birkendstocks. Now I have them. Yaaay!!

Ok, that's a cool idea. Ma grandma died but wait i've something better to say. I gifted her a dog plush.
And then i just met my family, and someone got the idea to gift this plush to the youngest of the family.
She immediately adopted the plush dog, ran around with it and cuddled it for days, telling us "wouf wouf, look it's my dog wouf wouf"
It's the innocence of the youngest. It's just purity. It's just beautiful.

I had pizza today

We made tiramisu on monday, it was great. I usually never bake, cook or anything of the sort.

In general I've been happier recently, could be because my dosage of antidepressant was doubled.

I'm excited about having some new headphones, I've been delving into midfi.

just bought a 5l beer keg with a discount to give it to my friends on new year :D

Today the last guest left my house and I can finally can cook my favorite meals again!

And my Sonos Sub 4, that I ordered as a gift to myself, should be delivered on Tuesday. No idea what Amazon did there but at the 26th I got a notification that it appeared in Madrid ...

Thats nice!

We managed to help a friendly but scaredy stray cat that visited us(to eat) that got sick- being a stray we were worried he would disappear after the whole kidnapping and doctor and all that... after awhile he re appeared now extremely thankfull (and finally let us touch him). And he puts his tongue out when he wants cuddling. Doctor said he had some badly cured broken teeth/jaw and some cats could stick their tongue out or drool from injuries like that, he sometimes drool but he mostlyy kept his tongue hidden.

He knows sticking out the tongue makes everyone say 'owww' and fall for him. That cat weaponized his tongue. Puss in boots have nothing on him

X-mas season online competitons here in Germany.
I won a box of Ferrero/Kinder chocolates (already eaten it all)
And 6 bottles of 0,33l Bitburger Bockbier (7%)
I very rarely drink beer (maybe a bottle a year) but this will be good for New Years Eve 😀
No Pc hardware though.
Yet 😜

I've had 3 weeks off of work, and I've managed to get a lot done on the game I'm creating. Just a few more little tweaks and then it will be ready for final testing. Hoping to launch it in February. Certainly not expecting a big turn out to play it, as it's pretty niche, but I've always wanted to create a game, just to say I did it and it's stretched my brain in new ways, which is always nice as we get a bit older.

My niece and I went to a pretty awesome New Year performance yesterday. It's not that easy to find one that's actually witty and not banal, after all, the kid is 10 already, and she's rather demanding, but this one was fun even for grown-ups. And the gift was a set for chemical experiments instead of usual sweets - that's a nice touch! I also bought her some small stuff her mom forbids - because aunts are kinda supposed to spoil the little ones, yeah :) Then we went to a café and exchanged some pre-holiday gifts, so yes, I dare say, that was a nice day for a change!
