Anyone else pack for a game day by continuing to add increasingly smaller boxes till the bag is full or is that just me?

I wasn’t at Gen Con but Kit was sweet and brought me a mini haul

No better way to start a workday that lacking sleep because you were violently throwing up at 2am. Glad I have solid help today

I much prefer my prettier version from Korea but LINKO! is such a good game that people should definitely snap this up!

Finally started Escape from the Bloodkeep and just so mad I didn’t experience this wonderfulness earlier. @dimension20.bsky.social is the best distraction from feeling cruddy that I’ve found for sure.

Went to the JC Raulston Arboretum Saturday to see out friend’s kit showing off snakes at their plant sale. Elvis the rat snake was determined to climb all over the top of the tent.

Met up with friends and played Atiwa and Rock Hard: 1977 last night. Was a damn good time even if I didn’t do a great job boosting the fruit bat population.

Tested positive for flu myself today so we’re officially a plague house. Hoping one of us regains function soon before I have to place a delivery order for meds and food

Welp, Kit has the flu. Staying as far away as I can in a shared house in hopes of avoiding the hell he’s going through

Was really looking forward to reading my book during my lunch break but by the time I got there, I basically just sat in my car and stared into space for 30 min.

Kit’s away with his family for a week. So he left me having made pasta salad and quiche while also stocking easily prepped dinners. Can you tell he knows how much I hate feeding myself?

Had to work all day but luckily Kit was nice enough to run out and pick up my preorder of @natania.bsky.social’s latest

Friends invited us to dinner to meet some people they thought we’d get along with. Turns out the guy has played with plenty of people I know.

Fucking video game layoffs. Time to look real hard at our monthly budget for a while.

I am so irritated that I will be working 11 hours on the 14th and thus will not be able to go grab my preorder from Golden Fig until the following Monday when I’m finally off work

Day two of my Whose Turn - Smartphone Inc then refueled at Neomonde. Now to find the next game…

I cannot even with this pair

I have eaten my weight in dumplings and am now a lump on the couch. Given that I still need to make pie crust tonight, mistakes have been made

Don’t mind me, just emailing a local bookstore and asking them to add preorders for The Viscount of St Albans to their website. Gotta get me more regency fantasy romance goodness

I had so many things I was going to do today. Instead I passed the fuck out on the couch after lunch and woke up around 5:30pm. Guess I needed the sleep but I imagine I've just royally screwed up my sleep schedule

Cremini cannot resist the lure of people food.

Hivemind: Solve a mystery for me? I love this SANDWICH shirt we found at the Scrap Exchange thrift store years ago. It seems like a one-off print, possibly as a school project. I want to know who made it!

Alex's deadline is Saturday. If you've ever shared an 'oh no' comic - especially if you shared this doctored one with a fourth panel added! rude! - then chuck them a quick donation for their horrible, horrible legal battle.

First bread done. Dinner rolls are shaped and rising

Finishing up an eleven hour shift then heading home to make two different breads for tomorrow. Because past Ruth kinda sucks honestly.

This is such a good idea, such a gorgeous product, and I’m sad I won’t be there to snag one

Parents were home for a bit so now I have goodies

Final days!! Let's get this cranking before the madness of later this week south of the border. <3 This is a huge deal, and it will go towards the funds we are raising for the care and upbringing of Amber's neurodivergent kiddo.

Once again, the eternal refrain: Fuck Cancer

Mug check

Do not pay someone to publish your book. Do not pay someone to write your book. Do not give money to LLM (aka "AI") assholes for a questionable return in the short term that will be another drop in the bucket to fuck creative professionals in the long term. And just in case anyone gets pedantic--

Paladin's Grace by @tkingfisher.com

Contrary to popular belief, there are only four kinds of bats.

Finally getting around to planning the menu for Thanksgiving since we're hosting Kit's family. Looks like I'm baking 2 different breads this year despite working an 11 hour shift the day before but man, it'll be worth it.

Cremini knows she’s cute and flops over for pets the minute you get close/she realizes you’ve seen her. This sometimes leads to her almost falling, not helped by her being a tripod

Oh wow, the sudden memories. I spent many a childhood Summer on this beach wearing some godawful 80s kid's swimsuits.

Allow me to make myself at home by paying the cat photo tax - Lucy, Oyster, and Cremini

Finally made my way over here. It's a rainy day and I have a comfy couch, a weighted blanket, and a cat curled against my hip. Time to go find my friends.
