(no subject)

It's the sort of morning where I woke up to the sound of the rain outside and actually thought longingly of the alternate timeline where the Democrats held out. Where I received my notice of furlough yesterday, and instead of having to go out in the cold nasty, I'd get to stay in and prepare for my first ever Twitch stream, because I had the whole schedule planned out. I brought Gale and his party to the very end of Act 2 Sunday night. Going into Act 3 would've made for a good first stream.
Of course I know what the reality of all that would've entailed. Heck, hearing about how we're not having a holiday party this year because noone's really in a festive mood makes me wonder about how much of a number the shutdown did on the historians. But still.
I suppose if I really want to stream so much, I should do so anyway. But it remains a lot harder. Especially since I actually might soon be making another big time commitment.
