Second Life took an interesting turn today. Sometimes when the story is writing itself, the author can be surprised! I needed a break to think about the implications and how they may change my mental outline. So, I watched ‘Parallel World Pharmacy’ through episode 5, all that’s out on Crunchyroll. An interesting alternative to ‘alchemist’ stories.

Went to pick up prescriptions today. Walgreens is still suffering, they only had 3 of my 6 medications. The staff was really trying though, they were able to ad-hoc add my sensors since they were in stock. Lots of other people were leaving without what they wanted or needed.
I was asked, so I’ll just make it clear. I won’t talk about work here.
- This is my personal site, combating the “Death of the Internet” (Google it).
- I am an executive for a publicly traded company and talking about work could create all kinds of problems, some with jail time attached.
- Work already gets more than 50% of my waking time, I don’t want to give it any more.
That should be plenty of reasons, even if I can come up with more. I need to clean out my fridge and buy some fresh fruit and vegetables. Perhaps that’s tomorrow’s adventure.

One of the worst airport days in a long time. Delayed flight by an hour, spent 90 min circling the airport waiting to land, and then 2 hours getting luggage and to the car. At least I finished a chapter of Second Life before the flight and two more while in the air! Getting close to being more than eight chapters ahead again.
The best part of the day was taking pictures with the Granddaughter and getting a hug goodbye.

Hanging with the grandbaby today. Walking Superstition Springs mall (wow has that changed in the last decade), running around the Idea Museum, Mexican for lunch, stories & cartoons along with a nap, then dinner at Red Lobster. All the kids are worn out, and so am I.

Dinner with the grandbaby – pancakes! Really can’t beat that, well holding hands walking out of the restaurant tops it so I guess the first part was just a trick!

Prepped to see the Grandbaby today and then raced over to give Grunge some time at the game table. Things looked grim for a while, but Grunge pulled through! I’ll have to add some more lore into the archive! Look for that next week after I get back.

Just a day full of ‘sad’ today.
Had one of my infamous weird dreams, and I don’t feel up to adding it to the Scratchpad. If it comes up again, I’ll add it then.
I wrote a chapter of Second Life during lunch and edited it during dinner. It’s published here on the site and in drafts on RR (RoyalRoad.com). I also copied all of the chapters from RR over here. Some edits must be made, especially concerning tables and images. Later I’ll test to see if I can copy a post from here and have all the formatting show up the way I want on RR. That would be nice.
There is still a lot to do to get this site back to normal. I added a crafting category and will add a page for it later. I have a few draft posts that I won’t publish until I add the page and finish the projects.
Should have done a few chores…not going to finish that; it’s too depressing. Go read a story, I’m going to bed and will see if there’s a book I can’t put down, so I will be worn out in the morning.
This ^ is what it should look like!

Look, it’s in the name – Table-Side Guacamole – you make it table-side. This way the customer can see that your ingredients are fresh, can pick and chose what they want in it, and are 100% certain you aren’t loading it up with old stuff that’s started changing color! Those things in the previous sentence are why we are paying a premium for it! Shame on you Los Dos Potrillos for cheating your customers!
