Merry Christmas everyone. It's been another long year while all at once being not long enough for stuff to get down. This will once again be a smaller update with few sections.
As you might have heard there's rather an alarming virus situation going on in and around my vicinity and while it hasn't reached my family another virus has on account of a lack of coat in one instance and now everyone's sick. I'm okay now but the rest of the family is still unwell so there's that. It means that I'm currently the only one being ill at all. It turns out that they have the virus whose name shall remain unused, but now they're alright apparently.
Anyway that means that there is no Christmas dinner this year and that means a little bit of a logistics scramble to distribute the food that we ordered beforehand to the right people. That turns out to not be a problem.
I think it's a bit funny how now everyone in China (and here) has gotten quite ill like there's a pandemic going on after three years of this nonsense. It's awful.
There's a tradition in conlanging where during the month of December you make a new word for every day of the month. I have tried to follow this one but since I already did the one-word-a-day thing in June it was a bit weird to do it in December so I added a different layer: I have /one/ word and I will then use the prodigious amount of languages I have and have them all loan the word and see what happens.
It turns out that due to how numbers work, I don't have enough languages to last the month, but too many to not have two words. So I only had like fifteen or so words.
Or maybe it's just because my ability to do things have yet again dropped a bit. I dunno, it could be both. There's a lot of a weird stuff going on in the year and there's still a few things I owe myself that I have to do before the end of the year. It's a similar case with careers progression, where I've been telling myself to do but I never did for some reason.
I must give myself the strength to do this in the incoming year.
