Welp, apparently this post was supposed to go up on Sunday, but due to technical problems (I’m the technical problem), it only posted half and waited until Monday morning. Frustrating, as I was finally getting a daily posting habit down. But I’ll get it fixed and we’ll restart the posting numbers. So, here’s Sunday’s posting, readers:
When you work your day-job for 6 days a week, you have to accept that there will be chores you just can’t get to until Sunday.
Apparently, one of those chores should not be mowing the dog yard when Louisiana rain is almost daily. Went outside in the morning to see patches of grass so tall, I couldn’t see the corgi. Started to tackle it with the push mower, but the yard overwhelmed the humble battery-powered machine. Instead, I took out the weed-eater and went at it with the motions of scythe.
Took over an hour (found ant piles and killed them, found dog poop and cleared it) but the yard looks presentable and no longer like a hostel for snakes.
Now, why there are some patches where the grass withered when right next to them were candidates for a jungle, I have no idea. Gardening, I know, but apparently not grass management. Next on the list will be trimming the bushes down into a hedge. It’s an ongoing project for this exhausted postman.
But I did get some writing in, as well. I finally started my Postal Living page, and hopefully I can stick to my goal of having an essay written for a Sunday posting. Might need to go back over the first one, though. It reads more grumpy than amused (never write when annoyed, folks), so it’ll get some attention this week.
Made progress on Adventure 2, and it’s coming along better than last time. Who knew that having your source material in the correct file would be the thing you need when you’re obsessed about documents being in the right place? I’ve set for that to be posted by this Friday, so let’s see if I can meet that goal. I’ve also started work on more character pages, as well as updating the current ones as players read them over and realize they had background notes they never gave me. *exasperated sigh*
I’ve also figured out how to set up the Session Schedule! It’s on the menu for the Star Wars RPG selection at the top of the site.
Happy Sunday, readers!
