beansideFirst night of being the adultyest adult survived! Two more nights to go. As expected, sleep mostly did not happen, but that's okay. Hopefully, tonight will be better, since I have work tomorrow.
For now, I shall down some coffee and relax until it's time to go pick up the shashlik and blinchiki at the Russian Festival at 12:30. I look forward to this every year, and I'm so glad they've worked out how to do it in the age of Covid. They actually have it for 3 weekends, with different food specials every weekend. This weekend is the blinchiki, so of course I had to order some. Their sweet cheese ones are delicious. Of course when I ordered, I forgot that my sister was away this week, so more for us! Next weekend is beef stroganoff, which is also tempting.
Yesterday was a relatively busy day. First up was Dad's doctor's appointment, which went well. Good for another month! Next visit will be in the office in early November. Then it was off to pick up his prescription during which we made a little side trip to get cupcakes, because they sounded really good.
My sister got out the door just shy of 2pm, and we celebrated by watching The Great British Bake off, which was soothing as always. After that, it was time to pick up our order from Walmart. Have I mentioned how much I love their pickup service? I get there, click the button saying I'm there and which parking spot I'm in, and (usually) within 20 minutes, there's someone loading my groceries in the back of my car. It's fucking awesome.
Then, it was time for D&D!
This week, the adventurers headed back to Good Mead to reclaim their polar bear drawn cart and headed to Easthaven. While they were in Good Mead, they picked up a couple more plot hooks for side quests, including a mental distress call being broadcast to some citizens that began after a comet fell to the earth outside of town. Worried about the mental health of the people receiving the signal, they headed to the crash! A large squid shaped ship was downed in the wilderness, and the crew snuck on board, avoiding the two carrion crawlers wandering nearby.
They immediately got into a fight with a flesh golem, which was interrupted after one round by a gooey voiced cross between a gnome and Cthulhu. It told them that they were seeking help as their ship had crashed and the psi-crystal had burned out. They would like the adventurers to find them a new one, and gave them a detector that will chirp when one is near. In return, they will get a shiny laser pistol and copies of the gnome's research on the world.
With that plot hook set, it was time to head out to Termalaine to check out the mine for psi crystals. We wrapped there, and will pick up in a few weeks!
Unfortunately not as much got done as Dad decided to go to bed in the middle of the game, necessitating an extended break while that was dealt with, but it happens.
Okay, it is time for more coffee, and to actually wake up. Have an awesome Saturday, everyone!
