I'm awesome, thanks.  Currently stuck acting as an emergency replacement at a small office forty minutes away, doing my old job, probably until the end of the year.  But I get paid more now, and they pay my mileage too, so that's nice.  

The house is looking nice.  The boyfriend bought extra shelving for all of my books and his forty-something Amiibos with their little displays he imported from Japan and everything.  And a new expensive office chair, new sofa cushions, new sofa cover, new lamp.  It's seriously frickin fancy in here now.

He's growing a goatee.  I've had various beards for half my life, but seeing him with facial hair for the first time is weird.  Also strangely sexy.

Sorry.  I like talking about myself sometimes.  I hope someone posts soon.  You're all awesome dudes!  In the meantime, I might go play more Styx and try not to die.
