Hope you feel better soon! How awful. Hugs. <3

huggles you

My HA has gone big on reindeer. In Skyrim you can get a reindeer as a mount so I thought that was perfect to merge Subeta and Skyrim together.

Most of the clothing is green (blends in with the scales) with the shirt having a big reindeer head on it. I'm holding a cutlass (think pirate sword) in one hand and a torch in the other. I'm wearing a crown of marshmallows and brown boots. I have my trusty reindeer beside me. The background is covered in snow with a snowman.

Oh my. Many hugs to you. Take care of the hand and I hope the swelling goes down and stays down!

Went back to work on monday after a week vacation and i need another vacation now...

So far been busy and hard 4 days... had 2 difficult talks with students who are not doing ok and i hope these taks woke them up and give them a fire to move! But the talks are draining and with work what has been busy i am so tired these last days.

Luckly now 3 days of and going to Colonge, Germany this weekend with a friend to visit the christmas Market. Germany is our neighbour country and is about 2,5 hours away.

hoping and praying you’re feeling better and the swelling is gone!

sorry to hear about your students. Hopefully your fun weekend will recharge you a bit, sounds wonderful!!!

love your ha! That snowman peeking in the background made me laugh 😆

thank you for posting those resources…I have two mini golden doodles that I want to understand better ♥️

thinking of you and praying you feel better and that everything will work out well for your job 🥰

Wishing everyone a wonderful and happy Luminaire 🎄🎅🏻🎄

Oof, that sounds either very calming or very weird depending on how much you like night / dark. Hoping you get to enjoy the sun soon. In the meantime stay away from garlic ;)

I feel that in my soul. Some days more than others, but coming home and feeling the weight of all the things from all day and just needed to "potato" and shut down the system for a bit - yup. Hope things get a bit less busy for you soon and that you stay rested! Christmas market sounds so fun and festive! Also the idea of being in another country in 2.5hrs is so so strange to this little Floridian lol. That's not even long enough for me to drive to my family's home, which is in the same state!

Noooo oh my gosh that sounds awful. My father deals with gout in his foot and I know how horrible he has said it is. I'm so sorry you've been dealing with that. I wish there was more the doctors could do for you! I also noticed described their HA. Is that helpful for us to do?

Oh for sure! I'm happy to share a ton of resources!

So jealous you get to visit the Christmas Market. I can only imagine walking around and exploring!

Thanks for the well wishes! Trying to stay super positive lol! Happy Lumi!!

Thanks :)

Yours looks cute :)

At physical therapy today my therapist was wearing Santa Clause socks. Your HA reminded me of that :)

I wish 1 term i would like to have students that don't cause me any trouble. I had 4 days of work and 4 days where long with work and student stuff... pff. I needed the couch potato evenings.

Anyway.. my colonge christmas market is cancelled tomorrow :( My friend has the flu and well me my lower back right is hurting like mad. So our health comes first and we hoping to go next week.

Another question.. anyone willing to part of his/her buddy account... 2 days left on my GA.... If not shame for me

and everyone else I missed... The gouty hand is back to semi-normal. I still can't get my watch around my wrist but at least the fingers aren't as swollen as they were 2 days ago. Thank you all for the well wishes and hugs. :D

- I gave you a buddy gold. ;) Sorry your trip got rescheduled. I hope you can go next weekend and that it'll be a lot of fun. Students are trying. One reason I never taught anyone except my kids. 😂

- Your HA sounds like it has a lot of Luminaire spirit although she should watch out for that snowman. 😂

- Saxhleel described her HA because I asked her to a while ago, that's all. You don't have to describe your HAs if you don't want to. Describing HAs all the time can become burdensome with the rate some people change HAs here. ;)

What's the holidays without a sense of adventure ;)

- My thoughts, exactly! I'm always up for an adventure, though, whether or not it's a holiday. The holiday just makes it more fun! How goes your adventure in Skyrim? :D

- I hope you're doing well. Now that it's the Luminaire season once again I have to get something off my chest. It's been sitting there, rattling around the back of my brain all year and I just have to tell you...

I was your Secret Santa last year.

Phew Glad that's no longer a secret. ;) 😂

Jash (main playthrough) is nice and peaceful. Got through nearly everything so mostly just do radiant quests now. Love getting books for the Mage College as I always have to go off the beaten paths for those.

Do'Aka (second playthrough) I'm getting through the faction quests. Though currently doing some random side quests. After that will complete the Thieves Guild quests so I can bring that faction back to full power.

- You make me miss the game. I never got through a first play-through with it, though. 😂

Dang.

Did you at least become a member of any faction (aka Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, ect.)?

I've heard the Civil War questline was originally bigger and I would've liked that. As is you have a few battles at two cities and a bunch of forts. If you haven't completed the Civil War while doing the Main Quest you can make a temporary truce.

For my Do'Aka playthrough I want to complete the whole Civil War before starting the main quest so I can talk with Ulfric in Sovengarde.

LOL Thank you so much! OMG you waited all year??? On the thread you can tell right after we open our presents. That's about as long as I can stand to wait! :)

Glad you are feeling a bit better. <3

Thank you! Yay for you feeling better!

I am hoping we can go upcoming week to Colonge... lucky for us as it's raining today and last night there was police and stuff for an abandon bag. turned out to be sand

lol you held that in all year!! I wonder who i got and who me... -checks smail- oohhh...

lol! I won a christmas tree yesterday!!! I never had a tree since i live on my own and have cats, so my first tree. So far so good, still standing and all stuff still in it. You can spot Mooz and the left down side...

Oh my goodness. You are so funny! xD You don't have to keep it a secret for a year. But you also never have to tell if you don't want. I think last year or the one before was the first year anyone actually told. I never participate but it's always surprised me more people don't tell.

And yes, I will post a thread that will be a reminder about sending as well as a place to say thank you. And if you wish to spill who you were secret santa for once all the presents are delivered then you may do so.

What a sweet tree! Really like some of the ornaments. The little tree ones especially.

I believe the BGAs "stack" just like regular GAs do (as in if you activate 3 at once it's good for 3 months) so I sent you one as well! I'm sorry you weren't able to make it to the market! I hope you get to go soon and that it's a lovely day / time! That's so fun! What a pretty little tree, and I'm impressed the little fluffy stinkers haven't decided to pester it yet xD

I'm glad the hand is improving! I hope it's fully "normal" soon, I'm sure it's uncomfortable. You totally cracked me up with your big reveal lol. It's my first year and I'm so glad we can tell right after, I'd be terrible at waiting haha.

Mu current HA: Lighter skinned femme person out for a wintery park stroll with her otter friend. She's gold fashionable booties (versus practical outdoor boots) and green long jeans. Her shirt is tan with brown writing that is cut off by a large brown belt and her pants (she tucked her shirt it). She's got a cozy-looking brown cardigan on and is holding her phone in her right hand. She skipped the scarf, but is wearing a brown choker and necklace combo that matches the brown in her brown to blonde ombre long hair. She's swept it up into a pony tail with some strands left down to frame her face and wrapped a green bandanna with white polka dots around her head to cover her ears. The bandanna has some flowers adorning it at the top near the knot, which match the lighter colors in her outfit. The ground is covered in white snow, and a light dusting is kicked up making her brown otter companion and her boots slight obscured by a white haze. Behind her is a snow covered dark brown bench and snow laden wooden fence. On the far side of the fence is "nature" - a large, snow covered rock pile, leafless trees and a few with sparse green leaves, and a blue sky dotted with falling snow.

I've never played Skyrim, you're making it sound so fun! But I also need to NOT start anything new lol.

oh what a good news about your hand -happy dance-

hahahaha lol fluffy stinkers!

I do hope they won't ruin the tree hahahaha Knowing Mooz..... little biter of lights...

Been to the christmas market here in town with Emory.. What a dissapointment the christmas market, no christmas music, just a few stands and nothing with christmas stuff, the photo booth was down and it was tiny!! And the big lighted ornmanets through out the city where not lighted and hard to find.

Our town made such a big fuss and loads of advertisment for it... They need to check other cities and germany those are much better
