NaNo got put on hold, basically. Instead I’ve been focused on some of the learning projects Little Bear and I have got going on in the Minecraft Bedrock edition (which is cross playable on several systems and doesn’t require a dedicated server for friends to play on your map provided you are logged on).

Goblin Chronicles 2021-10-02
I’m running behind on this month’s short story for my Patreon. Again. I’m sorry. It is coming, I promise.

Hey, I haven’t written a personal post here in forever. Or at least, it feels like forever to me. I’m sure this year has been as crazy and hectic for you all as it has been for me.

Scholar Owl graduated last night! He earned himself a public high school diploma through the Adult Education program here in Maine’s education system. Continue reading
The Creeping Crud is upon Us
It started with Little Bear last Monday, followed by Tuxedo Cat that Friday. Then my parents got it and yesterday I was hit with it – hard. (Didn’t realize until today that the reason my family has always used the term “creeping crud” for illness that spreads to everyone is because it’s military slang. Kind of amusing.)
Family Update and More Blender Progress
Little Bear had a med clinic appointment yesterday. No med changes were made other than being told that I can go back to using Benadryl as a sleep aid for him. Which is what I did since without it he’s up until 2am or so.
TGIF Chaos Rally #16
Sorry I’m ridiculously late with the playlist this time around. Since this is the time of year that public school is starting back up again, I decided to pick out a set of fairly chill (not metal) songs that celebrate the weekend to relax with.
Scholar Owl’s Mood Tracker Template

First Day of Public School and Other Things
Yesterday was the first day of public school and everything went well EXCEPT the bus ride home. Tuxedo Cat got on the wrong bus home from the high school so he didn’t get home until 4pm. Apparently this year there is switching of buses involved and he not only got on the wrong bus to start with, but also switched to the wrong bus at the switch point. Thankfully the bus garage people were super polite with me when I called and were right on top of it to locate which bus he was on to get him home.
Tode’s Weekly Assessment #57
I failed to fill out the mood tracker chart this week but I can say I’ve been in good spirits despite being busy and feeling like my sleep has been wonky.
