Now that everything but the waiting is over on our Canadian citizenship test, I can get back to my regularly scheduled life, including blogging. Mind you, it took a call to our MP to get it done, but I don't really want to go into the horribly inefficient, if not incompetent, process it was. Results, of a sort, will take anywhere from one to three months, so it looks like we'll be here at least into January, if not March, just what we've been trying to avoid.
Kai's cyst turned out to be benign, thank the Goddess. Of course, he is now in the second phase of stitching on it, seeing as the wound opened up the afternoon after we got the stitches out the first time. This time, they're leaving them in longer.
Samhain was an even quieter-than-usual affair this year, largely due to the aforementioned stitches. We have to keep him fairly calm until they come out (again), so we couldn't afford repeated knocks at the door, which would have been too exciting for him, crate or no. So we hid in the back part of the house and did only a quiet little ritual.
On a related note, this is the first year we've celebrated New Year's Day on November 1st. We decided to do it for a variety of reasons, but it was definitely odd being the only ones around us doing it. Not to mention that there was no snow on the ground and no fairy lights around. Unless of course you count the orange ones at the neighbor's house. :)
I had a surprisingly wonderful time at Hammercon IV last weekend! I had never gamed in public before, and I was majorly stressed about it, but it turned out to be great, even with a couple of GM problems. Check out the Hammer Games website for news on Hammercon V in 2013, as well as to find games and fellow gamers in the GTA.
And finally, I CAN NOT BELIEVE OBAMA WON! I'm VERY happy about it, mind you, but I would have bet money it wouldn't happen.
