dmxratedJust spent this past weekend in Pennsylvania to see everyone for the holidays.
Saturday was to Grandma Ella's. Not much happened there, aside from eating dinner at what was a combination of a diner and a miniature buffet (not as much stuff as at Golden Corral, which Mom told me yesterday went out of business).
My parents left after we got back to the house, to meet Marie and Drew at the airport they'd be arriving at.
The four of them arrived the next morning, and soon thereafter, we met everyone else at Steven and Jordan's house. Not much happened there, aside from a feast and a toast; I spent most of the visit sleeping or reading Yoki Koto Kiku (only one volume long, but not like I barely had time for just a chapter), although I did come down regularly from Steven and Jordan's bedroom to chat with the others.
I mentioned my modding project to Dennis, and promised to share the Earthbound hack with him once I host that online, since he did sort of enjoy that game a few times back in 1997, as well as to update him on the project in general next time we're all together.
I also gave Uncle Robby those lottery tickets that Aunt Marie and Uncle Ray sent me those few months ago, since we never stopped anywhere to cash those in. You could say that we both made some money, since he gave me $60 in cash first that he'd then be making part of back.

Brian, Emily, Marie, and Drew all rode separately from me and my parents, in the car the first two rented to arrive there. Emily has just woken up, after having arrived after I was already fast asleep and spending the night with Brian in the porch. Marie and Drew are up in the apartment, and the four of them will be spending this whole week here up through Christmas on Saturday, leaving just a few days afterwards.
Will need to balance the time I spend blowing off steam with my ROMhack in its current stage, after everything I've had to help out with even after all that woodsplitting save for a small new load Dad and I picked up at the landfill the other day while dropping some branches and stuff off, with tackling the issue of scene management in Unity while Brian is here. And it only helps that I'm actually sick right now of checking for new Food Souls to create corresponding icons to, a habit I still sometimes default back to when I get bored, while I'm still barely getting any practice in recreating Earthbound, let alone getting my own game off the ground once and for all.
