Hey, all, sorry for the leave of absence (it was bound to happen eventually). It's been ... rough. I've been dealing with a lot of car issues and frustrations around that and the job hunt and it's just been a lot. It's been a struggle to function for the past few ... time periods.
TWO THINGS I AM GRATEFUL FOR (SPECIFIC)
1. I am grateful for this blog. I'm grateful that it's still here and that I can come back and pick it up and there's no rhythm to get back into, y'know? Like, each blog stands on its own and today isn't affected by yesterday. It takes the pressure off.
2. I am grateful, in a similar vein, to my daily walks. I also stopped going on walks for a few days last week because <cries>. But hey, the walk was still there when I came back to it. And hey, now it's way too hot for me lol. I need to acclimate to it being in the 70s
ONE THING THAT WENT WELL DURING THE DAY
So today in therapy we spent the session discussing my prep work for the campaign and one player who I worry is heading for a cliff of their own creation. It's always hard to look at a player character and think, 'I can see nine ways this isn't fun and 1 way it works.'
ONE ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL ACTION ITEM FOR THE DAY
Today? God, I just need to call the dealership and schedule an appointment to get a module in my mustang replaced. I had an appointment scheduled tomorrow but the replacement part won't arrive for another day. Timing just didn't line up.
WHATEVER IS ON MY MIND
I've been thinking a lot about Aikido and its ethos of, "practitioners could use to defend themselves while also protecting their attackers from injury." Growing up in two combative households that is my first language. I'm enjoying the freedom of redirecting aggression instead.
