I really hate the fucking daylight savings bullshit. I'm awake because of the cat, but my body feels like I should still be asleep. And I could have gone back to bed after I fed her, but I saw it was 7 and felt like I should be up.

Though at the moment, I'm rocking a nasty headache, so if the meds don't kick in, I may go lay back down. Last night, I had a horrible tickle in my throat, and today I'm a little congested, so I'm hoping I'm not getting sick. I haven't really been anywhere that I should get sick, so I'm thinking it's just allergies.

Yesterday, I had a pretty fun day. We finished Dungeon of the Mad Mage. Which was super fun. I don't feel like the boss battle was as epic as I'd like it to be, but I've felt that way about a lot of WotC's baddies. They tend to be poorly done. Since the Mad Mage group is smaller and they're lower level (16th), I thought it would be okay as written, but I feel like I should have prepped him a character sheet and made him more my own. The party had fun, but I wanted more out of it. Then again, the only fight I've been satisfied with was Strahd and Dzaan. Oh, and the doppleganger fight in Frostmaiden was pretty entertaining.

They decided that they wanted to continue with these characters, so we had a discussion of what we wanted out of the continuation, and I have a pretty good idea what I'm going to do next. People seem to love the role play and personal connection to their characters, so I'm going to work on that, with a bit of adventure and intrigue. I wrote out a bit of a blurb so I wouldn't forget what I was thinking of. Now I just need to figure out the mystery and whodunit.

I'm thinking that I'm probably going to set a new room for it, since Mad Mage was a beast of a module, and I don't want to be adding a ton of new maps to it. I'd make the game SO laggy. I can also upgrade them to jumpgate, which will allow me to pull in some 2024 assets for NPCs.

After that, I made an adequate dinner (not my favorite thing I've ever cooked). Oh! The Dutch baby turned out SO well! It was seriously tasty. I really enjoyed it, and will definitely be making it again. I need to double the recipe and get a bigger skillet, because it was basically enough for us to each get a little slice. Jess has a recipe for a Dutch baby with bacon and blue cheese, so I'm going to look into that.

Today, I have Strixhaven at 3pm, which should be super fun. I'm really enjoying the character I'm playing. She was supposed to be a brooding goth, but she's just too damn practical to get away with that. Instead she's a little goth Ursula Vernon/T.Kingfisher character. (If you've never read T.Kingfisher, I highly recommend it, btw. She has horror novels, but also non-horror that will inevitably have you going "wow, that is super fucked up." I am eagerly waiting for her next book later this year.)

Thankfully, it's pay week, so on Wednesday, I'll have five seconds of money before it all goes away into bills and whatnot.

Okay, time to go forth and consider maybe a shower and pants? We'll see. Everyone have a super Sunday!
