Daughter is home sick

What is a haiku?

Wait - just saw the hidden text.

Oh - I see.  Okay.

 

Writer, I am not.

Poetry, my weakness be.

Yoda, I could be.

 

I try regardless.

This question makes me suffer.

You shall suffer too.

 

Here is my haiku.

I seek appreciation.

Darkness in my day.

Light shines - tonight is game night.

Day light or night bright?

Question, April 18: What is your most regretted/disappointing  Hobby Purchase? (Could be: equipment, paint, software, supplies, models...)

 

I suppose the Olde World KS given the creators just up and vanished.  It wasn't a lot of money, but I could have at least gotten something had I spent it elsewhere.  I was moving towards regretting my Bones purchases as I picked them up for gaming. I was then no longer gaming and they were just gathering dust.  Now that I'm back to gaming though they may yet prove useful.

Got sent home early

Migraine coming on

 

(not really a panic attack. got overstimmed due to people screaming on the subway. autism sucks, btw)

Bonus question: how are you gonna fix it?

Well, finding out that I'm about to about unemployed a little while back qualifies, I think.

 

Bonus:

While doing the proper pirate thing, which would be to loot, pillage, and then burn down the business would be rather satisfying, I think I'll just continue to keep my fingers crossed that one of these interviews I've done produces a job offer.

Had some medical stuff going on, but it is all taken care off now.

 

Minor setback, car airco doesn't work constantly.

Appointment has been made to fix it.

They better get it right since I had this last year as well.

I'll go with "finances got tighter" as it has prevented me from putting regular orders I neither Reaper, but that's how things can be sometimes. 

 

It has, however, let me work on my backlog of minis, so I can't complain about that

I got another day older without putting a significant dent in my Vault of Pack Rattiness AND no one has accepted my offer of free miniatures.

Beats me how I will fix it.

 

What is (insert a string of expletives here) SitRep supposed to mean? I looked it up on Wikipedia & it redirected me to command post. When I was in the service they still spoke English.

Using military jargon or pop slang may seem cool, but it generates a feeling of exclusion if you are unfamiliar with the term(s).

SITREP=situation report

 

Basically,  a way of asking ‘what’s going on/how are things’

Free minis?  I had not heard of such a thing.

I haven't been painting much lately.  I've got projects that I want to do just not so much motivation.  Possible improvement was that my DM has told me that he will need Mal'Drakar (as Tiamat) for the table in June/July.  So now that I have a deadline, perhaps I shall be more motivated.
