Nora Returns From Michigan
Dec. 3rd, 2024 09:42 pmHark! I am back. What a weird weekend. So I asked off for Friday through Monday, which I didn't really need. But it worked out because Friday I had a nice date. Saturday we drove up to Michigan, had lunch, and I had an impromptu game of Pathfinder that I didn't know was scheduled. I managed just fine with my headphones and the Pathbuilder app, though I didn't roll higher than a 7 except to resist our guest character's bard doing some enthralling music shit. It was a good session though! I got to recite a portion of my character's tragic backstory, we rescued some NPCs, it was a whole deal. Fun stuff.
Anyway Sunday we were going to have a nice dinner, but those plans fell through so we ended up just leaving a day early and coming home Sunday night. That was goated honestly. I love to cancel plans. I was a little bummed at first but getting to go home early was sooooo clutch after how bad I slept the night before. The couch we were on did technically fold out into a bed, but not a comfy one. Anyway we got home, got weed, and fucking chilled.
Then Monday! The day we were supposed to drive was instead a last day of vacation. I mostly played Oblivion that day, I'm making pretty good progress on it. I think I could finish it next time I get the chance to sit down with it. Hung out with some friends on discord in the evening, then that was that for our vacation!
Today went by soooooooo fast. Work was one of those days where I have enough to do and few enough distractions that I was just plucking away at my tasks instead of bemoaning the time. I will have even more to do tomorrow, too! Primo day for audiobooks/podcasts coming up as I switch from my normal task (stocking shelf) to my preferred task (replacing price tags at the end of a sale cycle). I just love putting in a podcast and doing the same thing with my hand one thousand times.
Bright spots of the past few days were definitely my date before the trip, my wife making soup yesterday, and weirdly my father-in-law's bread pudding. I guess there's one thing that guy can do that makes people around him happy and it's bread pudding. Who would have thought.
Anyway today I have started in earnest creating my next ttrpg guy! This week is the denouement of this particular arc of our Blades in the Dark game after we brought Eadda back to life last time. Also we killed our vampire boss. After we do a little more wrap-up and loose ends, we are putting this campaign on the shelf for a little while to play another game; we've settled on the Veil, which is normally a cyberpunk game. We're shifting it to a fantasy game instead, because I wanna go on an adventure dammit! I'm playing the Onomastic, and I'm still figuring out what this character's deal is...what cool order were they a part of...In our version the "Veil" in the setting isn't a digital realm at all but rather the ethereal plane collapsed into the material. Sounds like plenty of room for some weird fuckin guys in there. I'm excited!
