Morning
Ugh, I didn’t sleep great. I don’t know what it was, but I was woken up an hour early by a smell. I have no idea what it was, but I’m sure it was something from the mother. The smell reminded me of those charcoal briquettes you use with incense. I searched my room to make sure nothing was burning and then tried to go back to sleep. Never did happen though.
Some pretty pictures this morning. Beautiful clouds with rain on the horizon and even rainbows! The mosquitoes are out this morning since the air is fairly calm. Things are different with the mother here, like I didn’t get my second cup of coffee. I’ll deal with it, only a few days before I leave for Dragoncon. It’ll be worse after I get back because there will be more of them here. I’ll actually be staying in a nearby villa at night.
I’ve added more of my earlier creative writing attempts. I need to actually read them before I make them easily accessible on this site. I’m certain there are tweaks I can do (and probably more grammar to correct) that will improve them. I have one more that I need to transcribe onto this site as well. It’s my longest one yet, over 6000 words, and was a very ambitious project that I never completed. I’m also in the process of collecting some writing prompts that interest me for future writing.
Inconsiderate People
So we had some random stranger just pull into our driveway and park. Didn’t notice them at first, and they just walked on down to the shore across our property. Seems him and some buddies (who didn’t park on our property) were down catching sea urchins to eat. When he finally came back up we let him know it was private property and he seemed chill about it.
Then, an adjuster from the bank came by to get some information about the repairs needed on the house. Dude parked smack dab in the driveway, blocking access for the roommate who was out at the time. He was afraid of Dusty too; she just wanted to be friendly.
Manual Labor
We all headed out to Waters Edge Villa to do a little unpacking. They’ve recently received a lot of stuff from Amazon like towels, linens, and pillows. When we arrived all the stuff was still boxed and stacked up in one of the bedrooms. Most of it had to be moved to closets in a room off the kitchen. Moving the stuff wasn’t hard work, but it’s hot here today. And of course, with me being the man, I did all the carrying of the boxes.
Afternoon
We stopped by Rosy’s for a few groceries and they had just put out some of their fried chicken. I had to get that for lunch, it is so good. It’s even better when it’s fresh!
I’ve added the third and final story I found to the site. Now I just need to read through them all once before I make them easily accessible. They’re all there and accessible, there’s just no direct link to them. I’ve also got two writing prompts waiting for me to attack.
Sleeping dogs – Spoiler Warning
It was once again time to play more Sleeping Dogs as the roommate (and her mother) got some sun. I continued the storyline and was initiated into the Sun On Yee with my buddy Jackie Ma. We had to go take out some dude who was selling drugs to kids! That guy was no problem, but it kind of messed with Jackie. My handler decided they needed Jackie to become an informant, so I was tasked with taking him down. We stole some jewelry from the 18K, was a pretty fun mission.
Unfortunately, this game is so buggy. Whenever I’m jumping onto a vehicle, I just hang mid-air. Half the time when I hit the button to recover, it doesn’t work, and sometimes I just fall off the truck for no reason. You would think that since this is the “Definitive Edition” they would have put a little work into fixing bugs.

Cultist Simulator
I played a bit more Cultist Simulator. I was trying to figure more stuff out to add to the guide. I ended up losing because I gave in to the hallucinations. I have found it’s pretty easy to edit saves though. There was a point where I just completely lost a resource for no reason. So I put it back in myself. Seems when you have certain cards stacked, sometimes the number disappears, and sometimes one card just goes away entirely.
Evening
Time for a Dark ‘n’ Stormy while I await dinner. This evening we’re having spaghetti since that was the easy option. Tomorrow we plan for Cocomaya. Only a few days left before I head back to Atlanta for Dragoncon.
I’ve continued playing more Cultist Simulator and can see so many ways in my mind to expand my guide. I have so many subsections I want. Since this site is built with WordPress, I’ve been using the Elementor builder plugin to make that page. I like it, it can do things that I can’t do as easily with the default editors. I’m almost ready to pay for the pro version to expand what I can do. I’d like to add a navigation sidebar to my guide.
I also have this feeling like I want to create more guides. Although I’m not really sure what. Maybe I can create cheat sheets instead of guides. Hmmm, that could be a niche. I am planning on playing more No Man’s Sky once I can download it in Atlanta. Maybe some kind of cheat sheet for that?
Preacher – Spoiler Warning
After a delightful dinner I retired to my room for more Preacher and YouTube. Eugene! I was wondering about you. Lol! The Saint as a foster parent? Dafuq? If, the soul bank is a real bank. There All Father is scary. What happened to Herr Star’s head?
So Cass is finally going to learn what it really means to be a vampire? Nice! Aww, just be his friend. You could use a good friend Cassidy. Aww, don’t be that way, she loves you too. Okay, that’s just gross.
