The pen is different every year, and is honestly a big reason I want the swag box. Personally, I love all the loot I got. I always want more stickers, I love the pens, I love the cups, I love all of it. I respect your opinion, but in my opinion, the Swag Box is perfect. Unless they want to add more minis, which I would never object to 😆

I had Monday off for Labor Day, so it was still the weekend. I got a swing bench put together, did some cleaning, started sorting out my paints (they got all disorganized when we moved), and was overall, pretty productive. My characters don’t usually make appearances in other games. I do reuse names in video games, but that’s about it.

Well, reapercon stuff was up in the store. Snagged a normal swag box and the vip triad. And those cute mushrooms, because. In other news, we’ve decided to make a trip out to visit my brother at the beginning of October. It’s going to be a family trip, since Hubby wasn’t comfortable with me driving alone, and neither of us wants to be separated from our baby that long. Why driving? To pick up some of my dad’s stuff that I wanted. Primarily some of his music collection. I’m glad Hubby is going with me. I have a feeling I’m going to need my emotional support human.

Yeah, it would be nice if we could have pre-ordered them 😕

1) my life is altogether too busy anymore for me to be checking in on the forum like I used to, so the lack of folks doesn’t effect me much. 2) I did laundry, cooked dinner, spent time with my family, and painted. I painted a Halloween thing. The painting was the unusual thing. 3) I’m poor. I’ve never built a DM screen, though I could probably make a pretty nice one for my Hubby if I wanted to. But the screens that come with the game will usually suffice for him. I have bought him a couple different options, including an absurdly expensive Wyrmwood screen that fell apart everytime someone breathed on it. Maybe I should make one for him. 😒

It’s on CNN for those curious. I hope they catch them them soon. Stay safe Canadian friends! In happier news, I did Art! September is Spooky season!

I got my hubby the special edition boxed set of spelljammer. It was like, $10 more than the regular version, and the cover is sooooooo pretty. He really likes it. He was very surprised when I gave it to him too, cause I didn’t tell him it had been released. He knew they were working on spelljammer, but he didn’t know it had been realized. Anyway, giant space hamsters are 10/10 stars.

Depressing stuff, skip if you don’t want to be depressed. Can’t figure out how to make spoilers work on mobile. Anyway, just laying here wishing I could turn off my brain. Keep having random thoughts, like “I wonder if my brother has sorted out funeral arrangements”, and then I scream at my self to stop it because is IMPOSSIBLE. I really don’t know how to deal with this.

I’m really proud of the work I did on this mini. I modded it pretty heavily, changing the face, adding the feet, sculpting feathers on the back to hold the wings on, and then was able to do justice to the mods with a pretty cool paint job.

I think this was from Wednesday. I made chicken Alfredo from scratch. Whole thing is gluten free, so my MIL could eat it comfortable. Served with a Caesar salad.

Chambermaid. I hate dusting and stuff and dusting is very important. My husband or myself. Nope, never. I usually cover them over with green stuff. Box of temporarily postponed projects. I used to watch them, not so much anymore. My favorite cooking show is the Halloween Bake off. I can’t recall a dish I’ve made that was one and done. Usually if I don’t like a thing, I’ll modify it and retry. I’ve never watched it. The figure I’ve owned the longest is Maralise Moonscythe.

Same. That’s part of what makes this so awful for me. With a dime, or an injury, I can be proactive and do a thing. With this, all I can do is make sure my brother knows I’ll be there for him if he needs to talk. I can’t even give him a hug, because we’re 1000 miles apart. And it’s just so, sooo f**king stupid. It’s a stupid disease, and it’s stupid that you can just randomly f**king get it, and there’s absolutely nothing you can do to prevent getting it. F**king stupid.

My brother has ALS. The aggressive kind. All my words are swear words.

We’ll never know! The hose was cut in the effort to remove the tree.

Before the toddler decided to be a piggy bank, our project this last weekend was to clean up the yard. I still haven’t taken proper pictures, but here is one amusing one. The tree that grew up around this hose was about 20 feet tall.

Lol! If she hasn’t pooped it out within a week we’ll get an X-ray and see if it’s stuck elsewhere.

For realsies. When they took an X-ray at 1:30pm, the dime was in her large intestine. So we took her to ihop (she wanted pancakes and eggs) and drove home. My head is currently reacquainting itself with my pillow.

Unfortunately, the dime is stuck in her esophagus. If it could get down to her stomach, it is likely that she would just poop it out. The biggest problem is that the closest pediatric surgeon is apparently in fricken Salt Lake City. These ********* can charge us all sorts of money for healthcare, but they can’t keep a single pediatric surgeon in either Wyoming or Montana. I have a lot of cuss words about this situation.

So, Sephy swallowed a dime. She choked on it first, but then managed to swallow it. When we took her to the ER the X-ray showed that it was stuck in her esophagus. And of course, my small town hospital doesn’t have a doctor qualified to remove the dime. So now we’re in Billings. They also don’t currently have a doctor who is qualified to remove it, but there will be one here tomorrow. Here’s to hoping she learns her lesson and stops putting stuff in her mouth.

Yeah, you know it’s bad when you’re praying for a tumor. He’s going in for testing early next week, so we’ll learn more then.

My brother (the one I actually like) just told me that there’s a very strong likelihood that he has bulbar ALS.

Another vote for red door. I wouldn’t trade all my mistakes for my blessings.

I don’t play an instrument. Cello is probably my favorite to listen to. August has been about the same as July. We did have a nice, cool, rainy day on Saturday. 60° weather all day. But the 100° days are returning. Hopefully my replacement air condition shows up today.

Yeah, I gotta find the nest first. My MIL yard, like her house, is a total mess. We’re planning a weekend where we tackle it, and at least take down all the trees that are growing up against her foundation. The prospect of there being a wasp nest somewhere in the mess doesn’t please me. It’s just one effing thing after another with this damned house.
