test post (but not really)
this isn't actually a test post. more of an acknowledgement that i've been screwing around a lot lately with my website's layout instead of a) posting anything or b) doing anything that i could post.
i did manage to fix that a bit today, though. i learned how not to make a leather moccasin for a baby. i ended up producing an object that resembles a shoe, but would not really be useful or wearable as one.
this weekend was sorely needed, last week at work dragged on far longer than it should have, and it just made me miserable by the end of it. i dread waking up tomorrow because it means going back. i don't exactly hate my job, i don't even dislike it!! but it would go a long way towards me truly enjoying it if i was doing something fun, or exciting, or challenging on a regular basis, and i'm mostly not. tomorrow, for example, i have six one-hour meetings back to back. outside of that i will likely be generating more documentation. lovely! 🤮
back to this weekend: yesterday i made an attempt at finding a new d&d group to play with, and it was sadly unsuccessful. the gm i was going to play with and i didn't really click, and so i don't plan to return to participate in his campaign. alas, and my prayers go out to the poor soul who i helped build their character sheet. i wish them the best of luck, but i cannot and will not help somebody gm better. i have neither the patience nor inclination to step on toes when i could dance better solo. guess i go back to rotating my own blorbos.
thankfully yesterday wasn't a total bust. we took the kids to the library where they had an amazing time at the little toddler play area. today was largely full of relaxing, as well as the aforementioned creation of a not-quite-shoe-shaped object. dinner was wonderful greek quinoa and rice bowls with falafel, and it was really came together. delish.
that's about it for my weekend. maybe this week i'll find the time to figure out how to shoehorn a project gallery into this blog template. or maybe i'll give up and just use the minifeeds as-is, we shall see. signing off for now.
