My husband at Costco, often calling me to provide home 'tech' support, asking me if we should get whatever new thing, confirming which kind of danishes we want, etc.

His second call today: "They have these little pancake things. They're ADORABLE and weird and like, tiny little poofie pancakes..."

Me, who writes about "Kerch" food way too much: "Oh, like poffertjes!"

Husband: "Like what?"

Me: "Like the Dutch, Kerch, little poofie pancakes."

Husband: "Uh yeah, they do sound like that."

Me: Launches into an explanation of breakfasts at the Van Eck mansion in my canon...

Husband, very confused: "Who? What? What mansion, baby?"

Me: "Nevermind, Six of Crows infodump. Just keep shopping."

Husband: "I love you. SO so much."

Me, almost under my breath: "Yeah, it's a good thing, too."

We should have invested in a larger couch. Poor Charleston is out on the ottoman. Mochi, meanwhile, wishes to internet with us.

Feed pulled up Howl's Moving Castle

Me: "You know, I've never seen a miyazaki film, but I will say the art in Howl's Moving Castle looks beautiful."

Husbeast: "Yeah, their art is fantastic."

me: "Yeah, just like, the ambiance is really beautiful."

Me: *waiting patiently* *A couple of beats pass*

Husbeast: "YOU'VE NEVER SEEN A MIYAZAKI FILM???!!!"

Me: "Nope."

Husbeast: "You have to understand, this is like you telling me you've never seen Gone With The Wind."

Me: "I haven't seen that either."

Husbeast: *Panicked look*

The Scourge

If you read my fan fic, you might know that I have dubbed the second ship that Inej will be adding to her slaver hunting effort The Scourge. Well, my sweet Husbeast, KNOWING that I write about sailing ships and such, got me a small model ship. It was originally bare, burned balsa wood. I spent an inordinate amount of time in my studio, using dye, paint, and markers to individually color and detail each piece of this ship as I built it. I modded and made it unique. It took days and SO much patience. Tiny, fragile pieces got broken and fixed with glue. The rigging nearly made me cry. It's only just over 5" tall, but 8" from the tip of the bowsprit to the aft waves. But it's done and it is GLORIOUS.

I present the The Scourge...

Husbeast gets up early for work, and tired himself out with martial arts/black belt class this evening. We agreed to sleep together tonight, (we maintain separate bedrooms and sleep separately often because of sleep schedules) but he was falling out on the couch and went upstairs earlier than me.

Husbeast has this thing where will "wake up" enough to talk to me, but he really isn't awake, is often not coherent, and will NOT remember the conversation in the morning.

So as I am getting ready for bed, I get the sleepy, adorable giant Viking in my bed mumbling at me.

"I'm sorry I didn't get to the...." ::mumble::

"What, baby?"

"I'm sorry I didn't get to put the pins in the map for your..." ::mumble::

::?!?:: "What?"

"I'm sorry I didn't put the pins in tha map for the transformers..."

I move to get closer, wondering if that will somehow clarify things. I get a sleepy kiss. "What pins and what map, baby?"

"I'm sleepy, I didn't make sense."

::giggles and kisses his forehead:: "Well, yes. Why don’t you go back to sleep?"

"Yeah. Cause I'm sleepy."

Gods, I love him. Even if he is currently serenading me with snoring. The chihuahua's tiny squeaking counterpoint is the cherry on top.

We have set up a GoFundMe to help my Husbeast's parents with his dad's care costs: https://gofund.me/c5a15a85

Fuck cancer, by the way.

Another afternoon spent with Mijnheer. Glorious and fun and delightful, and above all, comfortable. His presence is a balm, and I adore him so very much. He helped in the studio again, making the start of my last stock push for this week go by faster and more pleasurably. And then he and my Husbeast and I nommed pizza, shared dumb videos with each other, and chatted about various nerdy things. I love how much they get along. Sitting next to Mijnheer on the couch with my husband next to us in his chair, all of us relaxed and bonding. Feeling SO damned happy in my poly bubble.
