And we're back to Monday. I love having a ton of games, but it does mean that I don't get much time to just chill. I did take a nap after my game yesterday and went to sleep early, (thus why I'm awake at 4:30am) so that helped.
Yesterday was fun. I did have some quiet time in the morning, and was craving fruit and my sister was craving donuts, so we got both. I ordered from the H-Mart, which is a Korean/general Asian grocery store. They have a great and varied fruit selection, so I ordered some Korean pears, oranges, kiwi and dragon fruit. I also got some bulgogi and stew meat and extra gochujang, soy and sesame oil to make said bulgogi. Oh, also some Salted Vanilla Pocky, which was super good and a Japanese cream cake. It was a good haul. I immediately opened the Pocky and had an orange. Donuts were very good as well, but that was more my sister's craving. The fruit mostly needs a few days to ripen, so I'm aiming for the bulgogi on maybe Wednesday.
Then it was game time. I had an awesome time playing as my little gothy disaster. I know it's a lot of heavy lifting for our DM![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
poisontaster because everything I've heard says that Strixhaven is more of a suggestion of a module than an actual module, but she does a great job. We got to visit the Wandering Shop, which is a pop up shop of magical items. I think I came out of it best, having gotten a book that lets me cast some pretty high level spells. We're first level, with first level spells only, but this thing had some 5th level spells in it.
After that, I was very tired as five games in four days caught up with me. We had an early dinner and I took a half hour nap that turned into an hour and a half. I dragged up at 6:30 at night, we walked the dog, and I went right back to bed.
Today, I feel pretty good. I'm well rested and ready to go to work and get this week started. I'm hoping that the job is posted today, but we'll see. I'll be keeping an eye on the jobs board for sure.
I didn't have a leg cramp last night, though my leg is still tender and achy from where I had it Friday and Saturday night.
This weekend is pretty quiet on games until we reach Saturday, at which point I'm GMing two games. I had planned on them being all Monster of the Week, but I I did get a couple of D&D oneshots that I need to look over, so I might switch one out. I'll read the module and see what the players think.
Or I'll see if it can be adapted to Monster of the Week, that is a possibility too. That might actually be fun. I'll see what it's like. We do have a game in the morning on Sunday and I'm also working Saturday, so I think I'd rather stick with MotW, just because it's easier to run. Less prep, especially if I do the PDF of adventures rather than a premade one on Roll20.
I am both looking forward to Monsters of Murka, and dreading, because it's a lot of adding things to Roll20. Though I do think they're doing a virtual tabletop version for another site, so I might consider playing it on there. We'll see what I feel like doing.
We meet the dogsitter this Saturday, so we'll see how that goes. In email, I really like this woman, so I'm hoping the dog does too. She seems sweet, and she'll stay in our house for the 10 days, so that's important to me. I want Yoda to have someone with him to keep him calm and give him love and snuggles.
Today, I think our small chest freezer arrives. With the dogs food, I don't have a ton of room for ours, so we needed a little more space so that I can shop for a couple weeks at a time instead of every few days. We need to clean out a space for it, but I think I know where it's going. The tricky part will be plugging it in. I believe the plug is behind our pantry, so that'll be fun.
I need to stop ordering teas. We've got so much, plus like three more orders coming. One order is a reorder for some samples we'd gotten, because it turns out that Creme Brulee Earle Grey is really tasty.
Personally, I'm waiting for the Bourbon Sugar Tea that comes on Wednesday. I only drink tea now and again, but Jess is a total tea person. They have at least a cup or two per day, and a pot with game.
I need to get a couple of ring or baby monitor cameras to put in the living room and in Jess and my bedroom so we can check in on the animals while we're on vacation. I fully plan to let the sitter know that they're there. I'm not the spying type. If I don't trust this woman to take care of the animals, she won't be staying.
Today is sure to be busy at work, being a Monday. I wonder if my counterpart will be back. She had injured her knee on the ice and was out all week. It made for a very busy week for me. I'm sure, since I work on Saturday, I'll get another to do list. I think they've forgotten that I haven't started the new job yet. I definitely don't mind, but I'm a little confused as to whether I'm supposed to be taking calls or not. I've been averaging between 25-30, because with my counterpart out, I've been making a lot of calls, plus the cardiac spots have been dropping like flies.
Okay, time for me to go forth and get myself together. Maybe read one of those one shots first and see if it would be good. Everyone have a super Monday!
