Personal Digest Saturday: December 12 – December 18

Life news this week: 

• Saturday I did a little shopping and went to Drink and Draw! It was a small group because I guess a lot of people are really busy during the holidays. Eric was wearing a Santa hat on top of his cowboy hat, haha.
  
• Sunday I should have been writing but instead I was getting packages ready to mail for Christmas. And that I did. Also, I was playing a Steven Universe trivia game online, and ended up telling the creator that a couple questions had mistakes, which led to the creator giving me the keys and letting me fix them and add more questions. I added a LOT of awesome questions to the quiz and it's so fun.
  
• Monday and Tuesday I got most of my stuff mailed and just went to work and did some reading and sleeping. I wasn't feeling very good. I usually go to Mom's on Tuesdays but my sister was supposed to be arriving the next day so I figured I'd just come over when they were there.
  
• Wednesday I wrote out my holiday cards and tried to spend the day just being still. Jeaux and I just hung out at my house and ate Burger 21 food and talked about cartoons and feminism because that is what we talk about.
  
• Thursday I did finally get to go to my mom's and see my sister, her husband, and my li'l nephew. I got a good-night hug and kiss from Ash that night! So cute! He's talking a lot and it's fun to hear him play little games and respond to prompts. It was lovely to see my sister and brother-in-law, and we all had Chinese food.
  
• Friday I was still tired and stuff. I wrote a book review, did my comic, and lost my mind for a while because I found out Steven Universe is coming back from hiatus shortly after the new year (plus there was a minute-long teaser of the next episode!) and . . . well I get kind of excited about those things. KIND OF. Oh, and I got my statement for this half of the year, which means I'll theoretically get paid my next book money soon. And that always feels good!
