TWO posts this week? What Luxury!
Oct. 24th, 2018 12:34 pmMichelle got me a new monitor for my birthday and I installed it on my free night last Tuesday. 27" has created the greatest first world problem for me yet as it is too large to fit in the lower part of the desk where I kept the TV it replaces and yet it is too wide to comfortably rest on the upper "bridge" of the desk without me being concerned it will fall if any shaking happens. Am I complaining? Hell no, I'm going to get some clamps and try to make sure gravity doesn't start getting any funny ideas.
Laundry? Done. Michelle basically wrote down tapes for every drawer where everything goes and I got a B for effort as her drawers includes this gray area called "pajamas" which can include the traditional stuff and anything that looks too ugly to wear outside. I had to flex my atrophied fashion sense muscle every time I picked up an article of clothing.
Cooking? Done, I sous vided eight chicken thighs in a bag with maple syrup, soy, sesame oil, and a handful of cloves at 140 for 3 hours (and then 150 for another 2 because Michelle was leery at how pink it looked).
Jello was not done as I had to clean a few jars out which will find a glorious repurposing once I clear out the other jars of full jelly mixes I have.
Boiled out some dumplings as Michelle was driving back and fried up some of that seasoned pork for her lunch for today.
Trash? Semi-done. Took out some boxes.
Dishes? Done. Washer wasn't completely full, but maybe it's for the better since I'm guaranteed clean dishes. One set of bowls apparently went in latched to each other and it meant another washing had to be done.
Camera? Done. Packed it in my bag. I'm going to force myself to take photos.
Sleep? Semi-done. Went to bed at 1, but I'm awake, mostly. I've lost enough inhibition in my writing style to tell that this means I'm partially tired. Like drunk-tired.
Garden? Not done. It started to rain (right now it's snow). I'll try for Thursday since I don't have to do laundry. After the past few freezing days, I think it's safe to put away the rest of it.
In Other News
Received more compliments on the emails I send out, and it inspired me. Learning a few more ways to work with GIMP as a result, although this form of learning through what ergonomic features are available is not exactly how I expected to learn. Maybe once I finish up my assignments today I'll do more research.
For NaNoWriMo, I'm going to try a campaign, this time from scratch. I just want to get this idea out of my head so I can go back to trying to sort my life properly. I'm debating if getting fifth edition is worth it.
I hope I never make pudding again. Ugh, so much sugar and fat in one sitting. I have a hard enough time trying to eat all the jello and at least that has some protein in it (emphasis on "some).
If anyone knows an active D&D community here, I would love to know so I can vend some playtesting groups to see if I made something that works.
