Made it to Italy! Hotel is really cozy!

Packing always stresses me out. And I've never been on a flight with my larp equipment before so that's extra scary oO

Got vaccinated today. Now I'm feeling like a melted popsicle

The Bear and I finally caught up on the last several episodes of One Piece today. Holy shit. The escalations are escalating.

Did the "first three words you see will define your 2026" thing. I got Friends, travel and marriage. Let's...go?

On Wednesday the Bear, two of our close friends and me are flying to Italy for a DnD event and a short holiday. I'm so excited!!!

😴😴😴

Today I painted my new phone case and one side of my ipad case. Customising my things always makes me happy!

Finally did some Bouldering again. Now everything hurts but I'm happy! 😊

Humans are a lot like bumblebees in that they keep doing the weirdest things in the most clumsy looking manner. They, sadly, are a lot less cute.

Yesterday I just fell asleep and then slept for about 12 hours... It was a long week^^

😴

Got to take a long bath today. That was so incredibly nice. I have to do that more often!

Finished the day with some light fencing. It was really nice!

I sleep. Sleep is best. This ain't a poem. I just need some rest.

Pluribus with Rhea Seehorn has been such a wild ride so far. I think as of episode 2 I'd describe it as horror comedy science fiction.

The Bear is playing Baldurs Gate. Owlbear mom is best.

😴

Squishy sleepy cheek!

After the larp ended we found this little guy. Maybe our running around woke him up. We ended up finding him a great spot in a stone wall. He disappeared with a little tail wiggle:)

I have an allergic reaction to the base for my eye makeup from last weekend. 🥴

Back home. I'm so tired. But I had a blast!

Time progression during larps is such a weird thing. You don't have too much time so you have to go through a year's worth of crises and drama in a day.

😴

It's larp time! Let's go!

The Bear acquired a Barghest in HBS's Battletech. I never thought I'd describe a mech as cute...but the movement animation of this guy is absolutely adorable. He's just a little guy going stomp!

The Kitten has a tiny table now!

I sewed so many hems today. I don't think I want to work with crashed cotton in the foreseeable future again.

I cuddle-fought the Kitten today. It was refreshingly fun!

Lots of sewing. Ate most of a god. Now nap.

Cut my pattern pieces today. Didn't have enough fabric. Screamed a bit. Somehow made it work. All while being sick.... This sucks.

Still sick. Managed to style most of a wig today in between phases of headaches and slight fever...

Being sick sucks at any time.... But especially when you have less than a week to craft an entire costume....

Well...I got lost there for a minute. I got sick and the Bear was gone and I had to take care of the Kitten and ahhdirbxks...

😴

To your Eternity is back! Time to get emotionally destroyed again! Kuma-chan is back too! I'm so happy!

The Bear described the movement pattern of our friends' dog as a "four-legged sack of potatoes"...I can't 🤣

The demo for Mechanicus II is out! And you get to play as Scaevola!!! I'm so excited!

I worked on some costume design bits today. Maybe there'll be pictures tomorrow!

Gachikuta is so weird. I love it!!!

Yesterday I came home from work and went to bed for a short nap. I woke up the next day around 1 pm.

Most tired.

I finally had time to play a lot of Strange Antiquities today. The Bear and I already enjoyed Strange Horticulture a lot and Strange Antiquities feels even more detailed and refined than its predecessor. Definitely a perfect game for autumn evenings!

Today was a bad health day but I made the best of it!

Today we finished "Ruri Rocks" which was a surprise favourite of mine during the current season. It's a heartwarming venture into mineralogy with a lovable cast and a ton of very real science. Each episodes eye catchers also featured additional information on that episodes topic!

I am now the very confused owner of an iPad. I need it for work and now I feel even more like a grandma than usual because I find it highly unintuitive. Kitten's face here is an accurate depiction of me trying to figure it out.

I think I'm sick. Might be the Adenomiosis. Blergh.

I feel like I've been close to burning myself out over the last few weeks. Today I learned that I get an additional day off for an extra long weekend. This couldn't have come at a better time! I'm going to nap all day!
