Braindump Saturday
Good morning, chooms.
I've been meaning to sit down for a week and do some writing, but life has gotten in the way. Or maybe I didn't push back hard enough. Maybe both. But here I am, finally.
New Home
- The move into the new house continues. So many boxes. And then, finding out that we still didn't pack everything we needed, and putting in orders at Amazon, etc. So much cardboard. Finally found the place to drop off bulk cardboard for recycling, so that was a good find this week. But we are digging out, slowly. New bookcases arrive today, so that will help QUITE a bit. Though we're still going to need a storage unit for some things.
- Autumn in Ohio is amazing, and you Ohio haters can just suck it.
- I went for a drive this morning, up to New Paris to The Cedar Coffee because I liked the vibe I saw in the pictures online. Lots of natural wood, couches, etc. Everything I like in a coffee shop and, it turns out, decent coffee and bakery to boot. I wondered why a gourmet coffee shop existed in this tiny little town, but then noticed The Cedar Lodge & Tiny Cabins across the street. That explains it, alright.
- My wife and I are celebrating our 8th anniversary with orders from igourmet and Eaglemount Winery (The quince cider is superb, and that might be the whitest thing I've ever written).
Hobbies
- Working from home full time takes some getting used to. I need to build some transitional time in my day, so i don't just roll out of bed and itno the desk chair, especially since I usually start ym workday at 7am.
- Starting at 7am means I'm usually done between 3-4p, which leaves me a LOT of time in my day. During the move period I pretty much reverted to bachelor mode, eating a dinner of solitary and dubious nutritional quality and then playing video games. Now, I find I have some time to do Fun Things...just need to remember what those are.
- I do want to change the theme on this blog, but I hate mucking about with themes for blogs, so It might be a while. (UPDATE: And then he went and updated his theme, because things.)
- RPGs. So many ideas, so much time to avoid writing them down. I miss chatting with my RPG buddies, and I miss working with the guys at The Lair of Secrets. Need to get back into all of those things.
Today is all about moxing boxes to the storage unit and setting up those bookcases. And tasty treats.
That's it for this morning. Have a good one, catch you next time.
