I’ve spotted delights this past week on the fediverse and in my local world that I shared out to the fediverse.

I went out for a run Saturday morning. At the 8 km mark I had run along the waterfront, through Point Pleasant Park, and was returning across some train tracks when I tripped. My left big toe struck the rail, then my left knee hit the pavement. I tried to twist to protect my front, landed on my left elbow, and then stopped my motion with my right elbow. Each of those impact points were scraped, but my left elbow was left swollen. It’s still not back to full range of motion, but the pain has mostly subsided.

Anisa Francoeur’s Pride tattoo pieces at the Halifax waterfront were a highlight of my run there Saturday.

I made it to Monster Comic Lounge for Free Comic Book Day on Saturday. I mostly picked up comics for Celestine, but got a couple I was interested in, including a preview of the upcoming Unico reimagining. I bought Kelly Thompson’s new comic, Black Cloak, and a pen and paper game, Paper App Dungeon, on a whim.

Yesterday I received real mail! @MidniteLibrary sent me a postcard and a zine, making my day. I’m looking forward to reading his Games on My Shelf (I Have Not Played Yet) during lunch.

I picked up new glasses today, so it’s time for one of my periodic selfies with a neon triangle filter.

On my walk back to work after picking up my new glasses, I saw hundreds of slugs crossing the sidewalk I was moving along. It was during a pause in the rain that has been falling all day. I’ve seen worms fill sidewalks after rain before but never slugs in this number.

Today I started what I intend to be a play through of Paper App Dungeon, doing one floor each day.

On floor 1 I made it out without a scratch and with one coin.

• Paper App Dungeon (Gladden Design)
• Paper App Dungeon (PDF)
• Paper App Dungeon (Lucky Duck Games)

Today’s floor in Paper App Dungeon took me a lot of backtracking, but netted me a good amount of coins.

I moved offices at the end of April and only now realized I have a standing desk at work. I’m looking forward to taking advantage of this.

I cleared the last floor of the Paper App Dungeon I've been playing through today. I enjoyed doing a floor each day I was in the office, and I'd be open to doing a similar game as a daily play. I think some more variety in gameplay and choices would have enriched the experience, but it was fun overall.

And that p6 will stick around for the next time I play D&D or another dice-based game.

I’ve been occupied with work and time outside, but I found a bit of time for the fediverse.

I used my teleport scroll on today’s floor (38) to get some health restored and have an easier path to the exit.

On my lunch break I’m enjoying a walk through a path shaded by trees. On a hot day this is exactly the invigorating experience I needed.

Today’s episode of Stuff to Blow Your Mind is a fun discussion of yuru-chara, Japanese mascots.

I hoped to make some gains on this floor, but alas floor 39 brought down my coins and health.

Floor 40 was mostly uneventful. I didn’t get enough coins to buy much at the last shop of the game, but I made it through alive.

My poor Xiaomi Mi Band 7 fell from my wrist this morning and is beyond repair. I wasn’t able to find a replacement (Band 8) that I could be confident would reach me before I travel next week so I have a cheap watch on the way to me as a stopgap. I’m debating whether to go with another Mi Band or try wear os again for my next watch.

Floor 41 of this Paper App Dungeon nearly did me in. I was left with 1 coin and 1 HP. The final 4 floors will be tough to get through without at least one death.

10 years ago today Tonet and I visited La Mesa Ecopark a week before our wedding. I remember it as a particularly peaceful place.

My rolls on floor 42 were lucky enough so I survived and gained back a few HP.

I got my new sub-$25 CAD watch today and got it set up quickly. Of course, I had to change the face.

We stopped by Bluenose II on our way to the Seaport Farmers’ Market this morning. Having the giant dime was a nice way to give Celestine some context for the significance of the ship.

These statues at the waterfront seem to be a celebration of backsides; their fronts are flat mirrors.

At the waterfront we stopped to take a photo at the Maud Lewis frame and Celestine had a swing in the hammock.

At a washroom on the waterfront there are fun paintings on the wall.

I just barely made it through the penultimate floor of this Paper App Dungeon. Let's see if I can make it through the final floor while starting with just 1 HP.

My character is barely hanging on after Floor 43, with two more floors to go. I'm hoping I can finish this last stretch without a death.
