september gratitude

wow, it's been a month already!

1. terraria time with newbie and HGR
2. flurry of random back-and-forth stuff at work has died down, and I had a really productive day. should finish soon!
3. over at popsugar, someone thought I was a high school English teacher, which I find weirdly flattering
4. this event is a total hodgepodge but it's great. farming rhyhorn candy, hunting for shiny aerodactyl/omanyte/lotad. also lotad's big lilypad and dumb face makes me happy every time
5. newbie streaming factorio, great comfort food broadcast. newbie looking at a row of miners: "why are these not working" newbie they're backwards
6. finished the day with a 98-minute walk to hit 30k, and got through the entirety of genesis sloth 1. now that's productivity
7. labor day whee
8. and more mochi and pineapple cakes thanks to DAD
9. a perfect september day. 61 degrees out, sunny and breezy
10. after putting away the groceries, kicking back with a chocolate ice cream cone
11. FINALLY beat skeletron (also, rare sighting of HGR in Terraria!)
12. LMAO board 8 discord threatened with deletion over smfffc drama (it won't happen, but it's still hilarious)
13. this peanut mochi is great. king mochi indeed
14. so while we were playing terraria, newbie went afk in town for his weekly family conference; and then there was a BLOOD MOON and I rushed to his side to defend him; and then I got a flying piggy bank
15. another stunning september day! I was concerned that the newly painted balcony seemed slick in yesterday's rain, but to my relief it was fine today
16. !raid!
17. also for the first time in months I am CAUGHT UP on the MSQ and it feels great
