good morning (ish)

I'm gonna try resurrecting my #LifeStuff hashtag. for newer followers, I use it as an attempt to give myself accountability to get things done, and it usually involves a checklist of things I want to get done, like:

- eat breakfast
✓ have therapy
✓ Blanket Time™ with Midna
- get dressed
- don't forget I'm getting cannabis delivered
- go to The People's Coffee for a couple hours before work to work on #writing stuff/character sketches for an #RPG I'm running this weekend (#Monsterhearts by Avery Alder)

I read once that you should include things you've already done in to-do lists for a dopamine hit ... I don't know how well it works, but I like doing it, so 🤷🏻

anyway, therapy was good, Blanket Time™ was had, so I guess I should put on clothes and eat some cereal while I wait for the cannabis delivery

eyyy, so far I've done:

✓ eat breakfast
✓ have therapy
✓ Blanket Time™ with Midna
✓ get dressed
- stay home until cannabis is delivered
- go to The People's Coffee to work on #writing stuff/character sketches for my #monsterhearts2 one-shot this weekend

I've actually done a little bit of character work for the game: writing lists of simple, divisive motivations for side characters. I still want to: finish the list of names, come up with scene location ideas, and maybe flesh out one or two scene ideas in case my players are shy about starting the game

Monsterhearts is like a nice halfway point between, say, D&D and the DMless games¹ I've been facilitating, in terms of "DM" prep. like, I don't *need* to prep for hours before running a game, BUT, I find having, like, lists of names really helpful

✓ stay home until cannabis is delivered
✓ go to The People's Coffee

me: ooh, can I get a pumpkin spice chai?
The People's Barista: hot or iced?
me: oh, well you can't have an iced pumpkin spice thing
TPB: yeah, we could do that
TPB: *starts to explain the process for prepping the pumpkin spice blend for iced drinks*
me: no no no, I meant, like, aesthetically
TPB: oh, yeah, the vibes would be off
me: let's do hot
