I know your soul is not tainted, even though you've been told so. Can't you hear the rumble?
And somehow, way too quick we're back to Monday, and I really am not enjoying being upright. My back is pissed off, I'm exhasted from having difficulty sleeping. But most of all: I don't really want to do the work today.
Okay, now that I've gotten that out. How is everyone. I am having some problems with my lower back, hip. I did something that pissed it off, no doubt.
Yesterday was a lovely low key day. Game was cancelled, so w went to Kenilworth Gourmet and had lunch. IT was pretty tasty, but my fish and chips were very heavily battered ao the poiunt that it was hard to bite into it. IT was also literally just out of the fryer. The calamari I had was hot, but that fish was nuclear. There was still a bit of grease still bubbling in one of the crevices.
After that, we went to the butcher, but it was bugfuck, with no where to park. Either I'm going to have to go to John Brown during the week, or I need to go to Butcher and Bay which has more of a parking lot. Instead, we went through some winding rooads that nearly gave me carsickness. Then, I went to a small grocery store instead. I was going to get lobster tails, but no one was behind the counter, even though I waited like five minutes. No lobster for us, unless I got to Sam's Club this week after work.
Of course, despite going to the grocery, once I got home and sat down, I cme up with 15 things I needed. So, I had a couple of things coming. One was a small doordash of things I needed. Then, I ordered some OTC pills for vacation, so that I'd be ready. We were out of antacids, and frankly, our family has a lot of it.
Then, in discussing Yoda's current diet, we mentioned that it's going to be a problem when Yoda is ready to go back to kibble. His dinner last night ws a chicken that has been boiled for 3 hours. Then, the chicken is removed, and rice is added to the broth. I use slightly less rice than is strictly needed, so that there's still some broth. Then I added green beans and peas and reintroduced a lot of the the shredded chicken.
IT was brought up that I could cook for him, and do away with regular dog food. I did some research on canine nutrition, and learned abut the need for Omega3s. I learned that he needed fiber and that brown rice was better for dogs as well as oats and quinoa. He can have spinach and green beans and blueberries. And all of it does something good. So, I've got some recipes that I will try. This week, he's eating the one I made last night. At least til Thursday. Then I'm going to have to try to figure shit out.
Then, I went on an ordering spree. Containers for his food, vegetables, and salmon oil, and brown rice. I had eggs and meats. I definitely want to go to the butcher now, to get some chicken gizzards and ground pork to cook up.
Today, I'll look for more of those containers. The store only had 4, but I need at least 30 of them to stock his food. Fortunately, as the vaction draws closer, so will the amount of food we have in the house decrease to hold his stuff. I'll cook them on Saturday and Sunday, so for a full week, I'll need 14-15. It might take a little while before I have my portions figured out to make a full week of food. I think I'll need to cook it in two batches, so I'll probably do two different flavors. That way he doesn't get bored. (he will 100% get bored)
Tonight, for us, it'll either be stuffed shells or steaks. Both are ready to go, just the shells mean more time on my feet, with my back yelling at me. We'll see how it's doing then.
Work is bound to be kind of insane today. I'll be officially starting our new job. I wonder if they're announcing it? I will change my signatures and what not today. I refused to do it unitl it was official. Maybe they'll announce it today, maybe not. We'll have to see.
Definitely, after the Friday meeting, I'm looking at some of my coworkers differently. Some, the info that they're not doing as well as they could be isn't a huge shock, but some, it was a total surprise. I'll probably be on the phones today for the most part. Especially, since we're going to be one down on people as the Columbia office has stolen another of our team. She's really sweet, and she'll do great at a face to face customer service job, but she'll be missed.
On the other hand, they may be offering her job to one of my IKEA friends, so that would be cool. Another $1000 for me, just in time for the holidays.
The rest of the week should slowly calm the fuck down, and of course, on Friday, I have both our weekly manager bitch fest, plus Frostmaiden! I don't know how this is going to go. This is either the last or next to last of the regular Friday night Frostmaidens. After that, it's going to have to switch to Saturdays, so that our West Coast player will be able to do the boss battle and finish the campaign. That should be another few games, plus maybe one wrap up session, a debrief, so to speak.
I was considering the merits of setting up a one shot for the last night of the cruise, but I think we'll see when we get on the ship how good and consistent the wifi is. If it's good for the first couple of nights, and we don't have anything else, we'll play. D&D on the boat should be fun.
I'll find a simple module, and we'll go from there. We'll look at the itinerary and see what we want to miss and schedule around it. We'll be three hours later than most of our players, so the latest it'll be is 4pm for us. That gives us the rest of the evening to eat and take in our last night on the boat.
We'll see what we can work out. I'm also taking a bag of dice, just in case we meet anyone who likes to game and want to run a one shot. Might throw in a print out of a couple simple maps. There's meet ups for everyone, so why not one for D&D?
Day two of Mounjaro, and the sugar is still elevated. It says that you may not see any real movement in your numbers for a 3-6 weeks, so I guess the glucose testing unit will be coming with us. At least it's once a week. That makes life so much easier. I set an alarm, and at 9 am every Saturday I'll be stabbing myself.
The next two weekends we're pretty open, so I'm trying to figure out some fun stuff to do.
Okay, time for me to hop off and get myself together. Everyone have a outstanding Monday!
