Apparently it’s time to wake up in horrible pain at 6am, start writing a screed on what you can do besides whining on Facebook, taking a break to make baked oatmeal and wake up the birds. Just normal Tuesday things.

I'm part of a group trying to film an actual play session of Dustin Patrick Winter's delightful game Against the Gloom and, in true adults-playing-TTRPGs-fashion, scheduling the session has been the biggest hurdle.

At work today, I'm taking minutes from a recorded meeting, which is not the most fun task for a number of reasons. But I'm trying to make the most of it with sentences like, "The presenter points out a predicted pinch point at a particular pole."
Can't stop won't stop.
Can't stop won't stop.

When it comes to late night snacking, the goal is often to find a flimsy excuse to convey as much mustard as possible into my mouth.
Cheese? Crackers? Pretzels? Whatever works.

My muscle memory still has me typing 2023 at work. I don't think I've let one slide without noticing and fixing it, but am entirely prepared to be wrong.

I do not appreciate that 3:30am seems to be the time when my brain decides that sleep is boring and that we should be awake now. No thank you, evil, I want to be asleep until the last possible moment before I’d end up late for work.

My brain woke me up - enthusiastically - at 3am (and hasn’t let me rest easy for the last 2 hours) because it thinks a goose named Harry Honkick Jr. is hilarious.
Oh my god his middle name is Fowler. This is too good.

Archie has discovered and immediately become smitten with the void behind the side table. He has also decided he likes the surface of the side table as well as he is doing his little arrhythmic stompy tap dance across it.

The absolute curse of a) having no working memory & b) getting great ideas for new stories/reworking old ones while driving home from work.
I'll park in front of my house after the hourish drive, whip out my phone, open my notes app, and just hear deafening static in my brain.

Just placed an order from some Star Trek merch from @dwighttokem.bsky.social and other than being a Star Trek V apologist, they seem great!
Luckily, this is one of the more forgivable sins.
