It's Turkey Day here in America. Luckily our travels are about a twenty minute drive and that's it

Last summer to winter I played Baldur's Gate 3 three times in a row and then quit gaming for a year.

It's winter time and I now have the urge to play again. Just finished downloading it again last night. Mod integration, new sub classes and probably some more goodies. I'm excited :)

It's already snowing out so it's the perfect time to get cozy in my gremlin nest and play games.

I'm on my third playthrough. I haven't added mods yet, but that's because I'm trying to get all of the achievements. Not sure if I will or not though.

I'm more interested in quality of life mods. I want to get mods that auto organize my backpacks so I don't spend so much time organizing.

I will also make a custom game that lowers food requirements and such so I can focus more on the story and combat.

Not much of an achievement hunter myself but I have 80% already from my first three play throughs. Not planning on running a bard but if I can get Alfira to teach me to play a weapon, I might try to get the 100 gold in tips achievement. I always keep forgetting about that one.

3rd day in a row having class for the whole day, in a small room, with 18 other people - some of whom are loud - with bright lights and bad air. For some reason the school booked the smallest room they could for the group. I gave them feedback about it, and others have complained as well, but they haven't changed the booking. Tomorrow will be similar and next week begins the practical part of the course, which means new people, but thankfully mostly remote work. I need a vacation already, so exhausted right now.

I made turkey, gravy from packets, and rolls. Twin made mashed potatoes, cause otherwise that would have been a box mix as well.

It was fine. I already got the rest of the meat off best I could. I hate the feeling of grease on my hands but it's much much quicker to yank a carcass apart that way.

Husband's stomach is feeling bad now and I'm just exhausted. I can't deal with multiple people being sick well, when I'm one of them that's sick.

I miss having family. The past couple years I've been debating just showing up to my fathers side's gatherings because they're the least religious and I haven't seen them since I transitioned but the one uncle I actually vibed with died of COVID a few years ago and they're ever so vaguely right leaning and the current political atmosphere... Just didn't feel worth it.

It seems like every other transfems I know in person still has some kind of family and it's devastating every time I learn that. I'm happy for them and I'm glad they have family that still cares about them. It just really hammers home how terrible my family is and reinforces how alone I feel in this experience.

I've been listening to a lot of femtanyl and STOMACHBOOK on repeat and I'm not sure if it's helping with my mental health or making it worse lol.

Thanks for witnessing my suffering; here's a cute pic of my baby Bert.
