Critterfixer Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Morning! It's the start of a break week for us, so last night I had all my books out planning the start of winter term. Should be an interesting one. Today's goals: House: chores, groceries School: none Cooking: chicken and rice, broccoli, cranberry sauce Writing: 5000-7000 words, personal reading Art: Class this afternoon, sketching Extra: order school books and more colored pencils 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 Morning. Why is it that break weeks tend to be more tightly scheduled than school weeks? Today's goals: House: chores, bed, bath, linens School: buy some books this evening Cooking: I forgot and yesterday was leftovers, so today is chicken and rice, broccoli, roast potatoes, cranberry sauce Writing: 5000-7000 words, personal reading Exercise: walk 5 miles Art: transfer a sketch and begin painting this book cover. Got another one of those to do, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it that break weeks tend to be more tightly scheduled than school weeks? ... Cooking: I forgot and yesterday was leftovers, so today is chicken and rice, broccoli, roast potatoes, cranberry sauce ... To the first: 🤣 oh yes my friend. To the second: CRANBERRIES! That's what I left off the shopping list! Guess who'll be making a market run tomorrow ... Today: This morning, focus on keeping boys sane enough (a chore, reading, let them play online) and writing/planning my RPG for this month, plan out changes to school room -- draft list of to do, stuff we need -- and spend 15" or so planning Christmas. RPG notes work on, post for help with magic/cursed book -- one option: flesh out motivation for creation of book/book's own motivation & allow PCs to suborn it? work on game for next week: get info on new player, figure out where everybody is, how to re-incorporate player who's back from maternity leave, have fleshed-out options for "palace" conflict, for the tavern/bar resolution, for the artifact in the excavation site, for the mainland ambassador, for the city's gov't (there was some sort of board of representatives that was due to meet in a few days) have two options (at least) for players to pursue next: port city + ??? Lunch: Get groceries away from DH's shopping run, probably watch Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. Afternoon: piano practice, chores, language & poetry review, prep for evening game, fitness. Dinner: takeout Evening: RPG, my younger child is running tonight's game. Be kind & loving & enthusiastic, stay sane. 🙂 Edited November 24, 2020 by serendipitous journey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH is going to fall over, I mentioned your 5K words-per-day to him last week and he was floored. Good luck recovering! We made it through today: essential vacation-school, got chores done, cut boys' hair (looks fine but took forever), fitness okay. Did NOT get the pie ingredients prepped, so tomorrow'll be crazy busy. Did get some RPG work done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serendipitous journey Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Morning! I'm feeling rather satisfied for posting in the AM. If barely. Today: pies, fitness (me & boys), read something challenging + cool, chores, get outside, work on RPG. I got some wonderful help on Reddit, so I just need to apply it & ask for help with my next problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 Evening! Home again. Spent all day at the art museum and came home with some ideas and a bunch of sycamore leaves that I just needed. They are in the refrigerator to stay moist until I decide what to do with them. Everyone is home tomorrow, so I'll be writing and doing a little cooking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serendipitous journey Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) Happy Thanksgiving! (late!) Today: finish eating leftover pie. Work on game: try to get play-able by end of day. Fix the living room, which is utterly disheveled b/c of furniture moving. Ideally leave it better than it was. Food: chicken stock, prep veggies to roast, prep second round of pies, clean out 'fridge. House: straighten, remove + clean screens, clean some windows. Fitness: boys (run), me (aerobic, strength). Joy. Edited November 29, 2020 by serendipitous journey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
