Fri:
Just did reading all day. Finally finished Ar'kenthrist. FINALLY.
Second read through. Remind me to read it again... in 10 years.
Not much else at work.
Saw parents, then did shopping.
Came home, checked sites.
Then game. Took the entire session but we are done with eps 7. They
stayed in Amphibia so that answers the question of skipping eps 8 or
not. They blew past it. Won't be relevant anymore. I mean I could,
in the two days, have them do it but let's drop this roller caoster
car and get this season over. I do have the concept of a plan for a
season 2. It would depend on them at the moment, or rather Sean,
wanting to throw the magic system away and replace it with mine.
Then I can playtest it and they can stay in this world. Depends on
if they even want a season 2.
Sat:
Checked sites, worked on the game a little.
Repaired a shirt. Well, I tried to. Anyway. Sewing machine worked
fine until the bobbin ran out. Now I put another one in place of it,
and it messed up. So I thought, oh, maybe it's too tall. This
plastic one it had was shorter. So I put in a plastic one. Still
messed up. Sigh. Skill issue?
Baked bread. Yes, my daily bread. Then I forgave my own trespasses,
as I forgive the trespasses of others.
Nah, I ate lunch.
Picked grapes. Got almost a whole container full. Driveway is full
of them too. Glad the birds and others like them. But stop making
such a mess!
Wrote a chapter. Probably 1 more for the content we did last night.
Whoops, no movie night. Mom twisted her knee. I haven't done that in
years, thank goodness, but I used to all the time as a mere padawan.
It really hurts. And you probably fall down. Hope it's nothing
serious for her.
Did more writing, about another half chapter.
Then xbox.
Sun:
Did the daily readings.
Then more driveway cracks. And some of the cracks I had filled in
previously had new cracks appearing. Really? Filled in those too.
Writing.
Finished the chapter, and the intermission so to speak to take them
into the first drop of the roller coaster. They've really just been
climbing the hill this whole time. I can now focus on proofreading
the second emberhaven book.
Put the text into the template. Started going through it.
Two calls. One guy that just let a bunch of sites show him
notifications, for reasons, and they were spamming him with the
usual garbage. Also he had some weird browser I had never heard of?
Dude, try to pay attention, okay? Second guy has a new PC, this is
the guy with like 6 of them I have to clean out every time I go
there, so do you really need a new one? I don't think you do. He
wants Tues. Great. The one day I don't want a long appointment, it's
going to be 2-3 hours transfering her garbage. Neat. Looking forward
to it.
Got ready for tomorrow.
Then back to proofing. Got up to chapter 13.
Mon:
Proof reading! Got to the end, then made a PDF, and went over it a
few times at a high level. Coming together.
Crew came in and fixed my light. No more (hopefully) will be not be
on, then suddenly go on. I wouldn't mind, but it's one of three next
to the plants. They do mind.
Uh, work wise not much. Checked the updates on the servers. Helped
Mike find more inventory stuff. Dude, just scan the URL barcodes I
stuck on everything. You would have been done in an hour.
Whatever.
Went to Good Will. Only one goodie.
Then back here. Rainy. Ate dinner, checked sites.
No calls.
Reading.
Tues:
Good haul, some of the salads are too far gone. They're getting
composted. But others look crisp still.
Finished the proofread. Found a few more mistakes. Time to upload it
and make a cover.
Otherwise still nothing new at work. We should get something maybe
soon, not sure.
Went over to see the guy with way too many PCs. The only PC that was
a problem of course was the one she wanted to ask questions about.
So slow. After 40 minutes of scanning I canceled it. Stupid thing.
Of course she couldn't demonstrate the "problem" she was having.
Thankfully she didn't want anything moved over from the old PC or I
would still be there! Then why get a new... you know what I don't
care.
Dinner, checked sites. Got in late so going to do xbox now.
Wed:
Worked on the next pony episode. Wrote up the backstory of Sygian,
so it can be told.
Helped Don find some stuff in the lab.
Worked on series 2, in case they want one. Dungeon layout, or at
least what the dungeons would be in the start.
No work came in. Christina wanted to do Ken's request of listing all
"third party software" on our VMs but I had already done it! Take
that, you hard worker you! So there.
Brought food to parent's house. Petted all those I could find and
who would let me. Jingles didn't run in terror! And I brushed a
Penny.
Came back here. Checked sites. Set alarm to be early because of
feeding needs. Have to go to bed early.
Did missions in warframe for points. Got points. Just did the 3
minute mission over and over 8 times.
Worked on an audio file for the game. Yes, getting technical now.
Sean wants to do a sometimes Veilwood game. We'll see how long it
lasts I guess. Or if Adam, the only person with child in our group,
can stick to such a schedule. Raise your child! Ha! He's like twenty
years old now or something. Or maybe 5? I really have no concept of
linear time. May as well break his system some more. It's what I'm
good at.
Got ready for tomorrow.
Thurs:
Over to feed everybody. Brushed a Penny, and even Jingles didn't
completely run away. Neat.
OneDrive meeting today, he applied the update and now it's screwed
up. At the end of the day I also applied the update, and mine also
screwed up. So it's not his fault. We'll probably work on that
tomorrow.
Had our town hall, not much of relevance I guess.
And the usual priority meeting.
Otherwise nothing new came in.
Went to get paint, came home and painted Mizzy's gift. Looks pretty
good. Now to start assembly.
Then sites, dinner, the usual.
One call, boots to a black screen with cursor? Havn't seen that sort
of thing in awhile.
Her sister just died I guess so she wanted next week.
So what's coming up? More feeding everybody. "Something" at work.
Running game tomorrow. Should be a good one, doing some timeskips.
I need to paint the ceiling downstairs.
Work on Mizzy's gift.
Get a proof copy of Emberhaven 2 around.
Maybe the front step thing?
Saturday is the Pyre game.
Yeah, I'll have a busy weekend I guess.
Last few days of September. Lowes had Christmas yard decorations
out, maybe I'll put the tree up?
Going to bed early again. Everybody okay out there?
