Because, heck, if I can’t bore you <\/i>with details of my life, who can <\/i>I bore?<\/p>\n
FRIDAY<\/b>
\nStar Wars <\/i>RPG at Doyce’s house. Dag’s become the Master Pilot of the group, which I suppose has its advantages. The current adventure in the “Prince of Alderaan” campaign is much more scattered than some of the preliminary adventures Doyce ran us through — less of a “dungeon crawl,” more of everyone having their own threads to pursue. Dag gets back to pursuing Nayda’s disappearance (in the company of his mysterious double) next time — and with an additional level, to boot.<\/p>\n
SATURDAY<\/b>
\nMargie took Kitten Duty in the morning, which I had been ready to take on (since she was sick), but she thwarted me by saying “Go back to sleep.” My will sapped by being damned sleepy, I complied, and ended up with a good nine hours under my belt. Or someplace.<\/p>\n
I tried to return the favor by taking Kitten with me out front while I did spring cleaning on the yard — chopping down the old grasses and other shrubbery that needs pre-new-growth pruning. While Katherine played with sidewalk chalk, I also filled up the watering sacks by the trees, and looked at all the bulbs already rising from the mulch.<\/p>\n
I’m worried about the yard this year. Water restrictions look like they’ll be harsh, which means no new plantings, and the old plantings (even the drought-tolerant ones) may suffer mightily.<\/p>\n
That done, I went in and noodled about online, putting together my game log from the previous night (unheard of!) and leveling Dag to 8th.<\/p>\n
I got sucked into a discussion about Iraq and the current Nuclear Posture Report (well, current as of a year ago) on a e-mail discussion list I belong to. That ended up taking a lot more time and effort than I’d have thought, since it’s more difficult to participate in a dialog than to simply put forth (as on my blog).<\/p>\n
SUNDAY<\/b>
\nMargie took a sick day from church, so I took Katherine, then we all got back together, did brunch, and then went on the normal Alpha shopping at Costco and Safeway.<\/p>\n
In the afternoon, I tried to catch up with other household necessities, including ordering magazines from my nephews’ school fund-raiser, and getting this month’s comic book order filled out. On the latter, I dropped some marginal titles, which made me feel virtuous.<\/p>\n
MONDAY<\/b>
\nI’ve been feeling worn out and listless and unable to concentrate this morning. I don’t know if I’m just tired — my sleep hasn’t been abnormally short, but Margie’s coughing has been waking me up a few times (concerning which I feel worse for Margie than myself, of course) — or if I’m the third domino to drop in our Household Illness Fest. Hopefully the former, since it looks to be a very hectic week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
