I have nothing planned and I want to enjoy it. I shall enjoy as much nothing as I can get.
With that in mind, I should get on with my offerings so I have the rest of the nothing to enjoy.
No word of a lie, it's going to be hard not feeling guilty about all that nothing. But... I also gotta look after myself.
That includes the old mental health.
A: Human, we found an abandoned mineshaft! (cracks flare)
B: Dumb question, what were they mining down there?
A: (pulls out data pad) umm records says... they were harvesting a resource called petroleum. Why?

Speaking of, I just passed the second Sunday that I forgot to post my Patreon stuff. I'll do that today.
At some point in the near future, Beloved shall join my company and we get some precious snuggle-time together.
I hope to have the wherewithall to stream a story today. And the time, come to think of it. I have no idea when

Why? Because the family believed that all travelers should find relaxation on their travels, and it made them happy to help people. -- Anon Guest
It wasn't the first hotel and resort associated with volcanic hot springs. It was, however, one of the few that welcomed

There's things I'm trying, things I can try, and the potential for time to settle all trouble. In the meantime, I'm working on substitute maps to use in OwlBear... but those take time.
Fortunately, DungeonDraft works.
It sucks that technical issues have interrupted the game, but I'm coping my best.
And that's the best I can do.
I did NOT

The interesting area was where the gravy drives were repaired, cared for, and helped back into service so they could once again travel to the stars. -- Anon Guest
[AN: Gravy drives are very rarely abandoned. The Nae'hyn who care for them will go to extreme lengths to see them to an area of

And also my internet is dodgy. Huzzah.
Fun times ahead.
With very good luck, I shall have it all up and running before game time. If not, I'll warn my players that TaleSpire currently doesn't like me.
Given that they've done zero offscreen shopping, the chances are good for another stream of

(( Note - one of the big reasons there was a major addiction to drugs like oxycontin and other painkillers is due to them being over-prescribed, sadly.)) -- Anon Guest

Half a chapter of A Devil's Tale and the start of a Doctor Who fanfic, in fact. Part of me wants to write it like it could be an episode. A greater part of me is absolute shit at scriptwriting.
So it's a hybrid. And messy. I have a lot of ideas

Yep. Came over all tired from shenanigans yesterday [my main compy is officially unfucked now yay] and went to bed super early.
Which means I achieved consciousness in the wee small hours of this morning. On one hand - more hours to do my stretchies. On the other... I'm guaranteed to want an early night tonight.
