Got my daughter's birthday party. Finally. Can't wait for it to be over but I think she's going to have a good time and I'm told that's what it's all about.
BBQ with the neighbours tomorrow, visiting the in-laws on Sunday. My wife will stay for a couple days, they have some get together in their hometown on Tuesday, but (un)fortunately I can't attend due to a work commitment (that has genuinely been scheduled for a solid 4 months, so the lady ain't even mad).
I started spring cleaning this week, so I'm finishing up this weekend. I have way too many clothes that don't fit anymore and will be donating all of them, then buying new clothes that actually fit me and make me feel good.
Still at work. I'm currently in a hotel room wrapping up paperwork while others are doing their remote test on this system I built. Unless something severly stupid happens I'll be on an airplane on my way home tomorrow.
Usual weekend grind. Shopping, cleaning, chauffeuring kids to this activity and that. I might do the food shopping today when shit is more chill and save myself the hassle tomorrow. I guess it’s also time to put down the pre-emergent, maybe I’ll spend some time ripping out the hairy bittercress before I do that. Always a lot of shit to do.
Inconviently located chores for most of tomorrow, then a big family thing for my gran's birthday on Sunday. Honestly not sure which day I'm looking forward to the least. Hoping to find room for some crafts and some videomaking at...some point in there somewhere? 🤷♀️
I'm planning to take one of my kids to the movie theater for his very first time. I feel like he's finally old enough to sit through an entire movie. Though he's a loud talker, so I'll have to emphasize the etiquette of no talking during movies.
An old friend is coming to town. Gonna get together with more of our buddies. Should be fun. My wife is doing a long bicycle ride preparing for a competition in a few weeks.
I finished my first Dungeon Crawl Classics campaign as DM two weeks ago. I will get to be a player while one of my friends takes over for the next module.
Other than that, nothing - we have 30mph winds and 65mph gusts so I plan to stay home as much as possible.
The system feels very different compared to D&D 3.5 and Pathfinder. We skipped the first level where you have three characters you’re trying to keep alive, and started with just one character. Our players are level four now.
I kind of like the spell system because it gives a lot more variety than works/doesn’t work.
Student conferences at my kids' school today, then some carpentry with the rest of my "day off". Then I'll be at my job all weekend in the mornings, probably play Spelunky with my kids in the evenings — we can consistently get to the Temple now, even the kindergartener.
3 out of 4 kids are away for the weekend. So I will mostly be chilling with my wife and remaining child. There is also, of course, Super Saturday in this year's Six Nations rugby championship tomorrow. That'll be a good day.
Lots of homework. I got a lot of it done Friday night and Saturday morning, including a midterm exam for an online class, then napped for 2 hours, and now I'm going to play video games. Sunday it will be more work -- debate prep for a class on Thursday.
