✔ Finalize and email out tomorrow's schedule for the barn
✔ Full self-care shower (inc hair, shaving, and foot scrub)
✔ Send end-of-term potluck sign-up email for the barn
Still to do:
🍴 Finish clearing to the dining table and get that set up
📦 Unpack and put away kitchen stuff
✈ Carefully plan a trip next month
🧶 Finish the hair for my Ukrainian amigurumi doll
📚 Start reading books at bedtime again, not scrolling insta reels
But first, we're gonna wait for the Sunbeam to arrive (no spoilers please, I have not finished the game! I've only made it just to this point a few times, so I know what happens to it but not beyond) and then go make some lunch. I think it's a soup and buns kinda of day.
Might be a grownup and also unload the dishwasher while I'm down there.
Ran a very fun combat session today for my Margreve campaign.
One of those fun encounters where there were multiple objectives and several moving parts! Players had to rescue captives from chambers, and some of the captives were already rolling death saves when combat began.
Having the players exist in a world where things are happening behind the scenes is so much more fun than a static-staged set.
To celebrate new job, new chapter, new me... I splurged on a set of All-Clad D3 pots and pans.
Not a bunch, just your basics, as I also frequently use cast iron. But teen dislikes cast iron (even the enamel pots) and I will admit they're not always best suited to a task.
I am so excited. Literally the snow white meme on the window waiting on them to get here.
I've lusted after an all-clad set for years. Big BIFL energy.
Woke up really early this morning. So, got my work out of the way for the most part. Quiet day at the barn so less likelihood I'll need to rapidly rearrange the schedule.
Did some kitchen tidying and a little more unpacking.
I think I'm going to play Endless Ocean after lunch!
baked 6 dozen sugar cookies with little horse cutouts
made pasta from scratch
made marinara from scratch
practised Japanese vocab
played Borderlands 1 a bit
played Horizon Zero Dawn a bit
I'm really pleased at just how much I've had the physical and mental spoons to get things done. A crash is probably forthcoming, but it's not here now!
Woohoo spring! Looks like both my Thai Cons, my Monstera D, and my White Wizard are all gearing up to give me a new leaf!
I got all 4 back in December? January? a while ago. I bare-rooted them all, minus one of the Thai Cons as an experiment, and replanted them into leca as soon as they got home.
They are ✨thriving✨
They spent the last month at my friend's house when I was away.
