I am so glad that Armin’s job and mine both let us take time off for us to go visit my parents. I’m not ready to go back yet. Or back to classes. Or back on the road with Armin, a dog, a cat, two bunnies, myself, and our luggage. It was fun enough getting everyone settled the first time around.... I’ve missed my family, though, and Zelda really missed my sister.
Also I’m not going to lie, I’m glad I wasn’t at the bakery for this round of “it’s not ‘happy holidays’, say ‘merry christmas’!” There’s more than one holiday in December, and do middle aged assholes really have nothing better to do in their lives that they’ve chosen this hill to die on? And apparently now this year they’ve decided to add getting angry at gingerbread people to the mix. ...I’m sorry, but if you can clearly tell your gingerbread person is a dude, you probably shouldn’t be giving it to your kids anyway.
Our big present this year was Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee, which I’d been expecting since Mom told me not to buy it for Armin’s birthday. I forgot they were a remake of pokemon yellow and didn’t think that “of course we won’t be allowed to evolve our starters”. It didn’t hit me until Armin’s eevee got mad at him when he tried to use a water stone on it. I need to figure out a way to get him a vaporeon now, because I knew how much he was looking forward to having it.
