If possible. take a break and rest... arren...
L/L: El Dorado fire now at 11,500 acres and only 19% contained, but now the winds are now starting up... Not helpful, but, thankfully, nat as bad as was expected...
There are so many fires all around the Western US, it reminds me of what we were hearing a few years ago about Australia's fires!!!
California throughout the State, Oregon, a huge single one out around Colorado and I don't know how many other States, offhand...
===========================================
today's Noon News update:
Over 200 separate fires currently burning in the Western US...

Highlight: I finally submitted a completed translation project that I've been working on for the past month or so. I ended up having to do most of it in the last week, so it got pretty intense, but I'm glad to be done with it.

Congratulations on the promotion!
HL: Japan's finally easing its border restrictions, I'll be able to get my visa! Not going to be leaving any earlier, it'll be March/April. But I'm just so relieved.  Didn't know how long they were going to keep the restrictions in place.

Sorry to hear that, Husky. Hopefully once he cools his head, he'll see sense. Honestly, some people act like the democrats have never been in power before. You had eight years of Obama before Trump, and yet the Constitution is still intact, the sky is still blue, Big Oil is still devastating the environment... Yet people are out there talking like Biden will bring the literal apocalypse.
*sigh* I don't know. Anyway, there's not long to go now. Fingers crossed sense and decency win out.
HL: nothing particular, but work's going well, I'm ahead of schedule. I've enjoyed reading this latest title I've been working on. Getting to read manga for free is a nice perk of the job.

Thanks Husky and Kaz.
@Husky regarding your friend i am not sure which side you are in the current political debate. But i myself am quite conflicted regarding your point. I think to me it is regarding having balance in the politics, so that whichever side you vote you get more or less the same thing except the method of execution. However with current political situation around the world it is not possible and i can understand the feeling of betrayal in your friend as i feel the same in some cases as well. So dont misunderstand your friend. I think it is not your friend's nor your fault for this situation. I think all of us in the world are currently in a unprecedented situation after WWII. In one hand there is the globalization and the good parts of it like cheaper goods, development of countries like ours. And there is China which is the bad part of globalization taking almost of all of the benefits and absolutely not playing a fair game. Also there is Brexit and Trump and soon in other countries populist govts because of failure of democracy to maintain a fair capitalism. This is truly a worst case and i know that without patience and cooperation we cant get out of this.

Highlight: our big shipment of furniture, etc from Japan finally arrived! I was getting a bit nervous about it coming but I'm glad it's all sorted now.

HL: my first manga translation was finally published yesterdaaay! That's really exciting. I shouldn't have gone and read it, obviously I immediately started seeing things I could have done better... But 'ey, it's out there now and I hope a few people read and like it.

Thanks guys! I've been at this for more than two years, but now's the moment I feel like a real translator! 
It's ah, a BL (gay romance) series so I don't know if that's anyone's cup of tea here, haha. Cute story though.
HL: shiny new phone!
LL: can't play with it 'til Christmas, booo.

LL: the last two days have just been awful. Found out my nan is very, very ill, then all our fish nearly died yesterday after their heater stopped working, then I broke the new one within ten minutes, and then some fixture in our bathroom broke and it flooded.
So that's been... yeah. I don't really know how to deal with the whole situation with my nan. If she's not strong enough for the remaining treatment options, then they've said she has less than a year. The Christmas card I'll be sending soon might well be the last. I've been fortunate enough to get to this age and never have lost anyone very close to me before, so... this is a first.
HL: I finally have some time off for the first in... I don't know, more than a month anyway.
