Am I possibly freaking out over missing my train to Birmingham on Friday? Yes. Yes I am.

So do we just... Not release games anymore? Release a game? Fired Don't release a game? Fired Release a HIT game that makes a ton of money?! Believe it or not? Fired. These are colleagues; friends! You don't get in to game dev for 'job security' but this is insanity.

Chat chat CHAT!!!!!! TWO FOXES CAME INTO OUR COURTYARD AND I'M CRYING!!!! (The pics are blurry because they were moving and its dark but omg was this right place for us)
"Tower of London was boring and nothing to see. 3 stars at most. Maybe 2.5. I liked the Ravens." - my almost 12 year old stepson. This is how I know he's not mine.
Stepkid isn't having the best time at the Tower of London. Except for the ravens. He liked those. (I thanked the ravens for doing a good job and said they were pretty)
What about those of us with a Star Trek tattoo?
Me to husband: "Ready for the Tower of London? I am ready for Henry VIII's codpiece." "Amy...."
This is light, refreshing and I'd drink several without realizing it. It's dangerous and I clearly need more.
Anyone ever do those Activate game rooms? Because I think that's my exercise for the week.
We got a refund for the days we didn't use. At least we got that.
Wtf?
Now that things are finally sorted (still waiting for my refund but they have all my info), I forgot how much I love London. I knew I did. But I forgot how much I truly did. Could live here. Husband could not. It's too much for him. But maybe some day.
Husband slept a LOT. He might be all caught up on his sleep. So getting some food and probably just be chill. Might take the kid back to the O2, not to climb it, but check out some fun stuff there, or see a movie or something. And then back to sight seeing tomorrow.
For my Illario fans!

Anyways now that that is settled (while I fight AirB&B for my refund) what did I miss?
While looking for a new place to stay because my AirB&B had mold and zipties keeping the shower together, I scoured for the right place. I knew I found it when I saw something on the wall in one of the photos. Maybe it's fate, but I know @willynilly123.bsky.social wouldn't steer me wrong.
And by YIN, I mean this:
Chat, this place is like night and day! There's an actual full kitchen. It's clean. There is no mold. The beds are soft. He left us cookies. (I can't eat them but the thought is there). There's a little deck. I'm ready to cry for good reasons.
We were told things would be cleaned. They were not. We were told "they sent me before and after. It looks clean to me." I have before and after.
In the UK four days....FOUR. And I only now had cider on tap. That's the longest ever.
But my cat does!!! She's old and doesn't want to play but she still loves when a new box comes in!
Went to a coffee shop for coffee. Lovely human making coffee. "Can you imagine if the cups were bigger?" "We're from Canada. They are!" "No way! My dream!" Showed him the picture below. "That's bad milk, mate". So I have the worst luck in getting milk from the shops here.
UK friends, why does my coffee always look like this?! Is it because it's instant coffee?

Definitely less than 4 hours of sleep. One more night until a better sleeping place (I hope)
Hey chat. We booked a new place. We haven't talked to AirB&B yet but we'll fight. We saw a huge bug, maybe a big tick? We killed it before it got away. Push come to shove, the kid said we can use his not sleeping as an excuse. I hope we can get a new refund or else no fun money for me!
