Happy Sunday, y'all! It's early but a small cat had needs. Today, I have nothing planned. Was going to vacuum, but supposedly, UPS is coming tomorrow for these enormous boxes from the fireplace that came broken on Monday, so I'm going to wait. The packaging in them had disintegrated, and there's little bits of styrofoam all around them that i can't reach with the vacuum. I did clean the kitchen yesterday, though, and I'll probably vacuum out bedroom and maybe the hallway today.
Yesterday was a mixed bag of a day. Not long after I posted, I dragged Jess to the Second Chance Flower Shop. The clouds had rolled in a bit, so it was gray and chilly, but I still got out of the car and stood in line to get in. (Jess wisely stayed in the car. Of course, then when they got out the alarm went off because it assumed that they were trying to steal it. I clicked it after a couple of minutes and it shut up.) The shop was smaller than I expected, and apparently they restock on Tues and Thurs, so they were a bit picked over. I did get a couple of herbs that they had, Sage and Parsley to go with my Mint plant. Then, as we were walking through, a bright spot hit my eyes.
It was a small, but bright red Dahlia flower with three more buds on it. I immediately put it in my little basket. Totalled, the two herbs and the flower were $12.69. I had no complaints. I brought them home and installed them in the window by my desk. The dahlia will probably split time between my desk during the day (sunlight!) and the living room in the evenings, to be pretty.
I do want to go back, maybe on Thursday when they restock and see if they have any more herbs, or if I need to make a trip to Lowes or an actual nursery.
I may need to get an actual windowsill planter to put all the plants in to save space. (Except the mint. That stays in its own planter and keeps to itself. I'm not completely new to this game.)
Yoda was a total pain in the ass all day. He doesn't like the weekend. It stresses him out when we don't follow routine, and he makes it all of our problems. I was so thoroughly frustrated and resentful about it that I took two anti anxiety (and gave him one) in the hopes that he'd settle down. He didn't.
I abruptly got a yearning for a soft pretzel, so my sister drove me to Sam's Club. Sadly they did not have cinnamon sugar, but their regular pretzel was pretty good. They seem to make them out of the pizza dough and douse them in butter with a little salt. I also got a hotdog and a 4 meat pizza. Totalled, it was $14, so that was lunch and dinner for us. In the evening, I made Yoda more cookies, and cooked some sausage for breakfast.
After that, I worked on my campaign for a bit, got some more maps and sourced a couple of more. Then, I imported characters from other campaigns to be renamed and reskinned as members of the Royal family.
I'm very pleased with how things are coming along. We've set a date to start of April 26th, which gives me a whole month to get things ready. The hard part is going to be the maps. I need a bunch of maps for this, preferrably with water or pools in most of the rooms. So far, it's been a challenge.
Today, I'm going to make breakfast, with the aforementioned sausage and maybe bacon. Also pancakes. It will be tasty.
Dinner, since I found my little golden curry cubes will be chicken with curry sauce over rice. I don't have a ton of veggies, so it'll probably just have onions and garlic in it. I'm looking forward to trying out this curry. The box is so tiny it got lost on the shelves for a few weeks, so I'm looking forward to trying it out.
Aside from that, I may work on my campaign some more and do a bit of cleaning?
We shall see.
For now though, I will bid you adieu and go get dressed. Everyone have a wonderful Sunday!
