Dragons Online (DDO) for their MMO fix.\u00a0 I already had an account there and have played it a couple of times, so it was easy enough to get into the game.\u00a0 I created a bard, Shakatru, and have been working her way through the newbie stuff.\u00a0 DDO, by the way, is what distracted me yesterday morning from Stumbling.\u00a0 Mornings are the only time I have time to do that kind of thing.\u00a0 Today is an exception; going to work two hours early makes it a challenge to play anything, although I am going to try to knock off at least one more task in the Newbie list.\u00a0 Hopefully tomorrow I&#8217;ll be able to get most of the newbie stuff done.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of tomorrow, it will be a busy day.\u00a0 I have some small projects I have been Meaning To Do which I Mean To Do tomorrow.\u00a0 There&#8217;s a list of instructions I need to put together for a process for the ASUUC site, I need to top off the waterbed&#8217;s water (it&#8217;s very low, relatively speaking), I need to figure out how to position a fan so my computer stays cool as we&#8217;re starting to have warmer days now and I need to fix my scooter&#8217;s headlight fix.\u00a0 I replaced the bulbs last week, but now one does not light at all and they low beams still do not work, which was the purpose of last week&#8217;s attempted fix.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to all of this, I plan to have my usual Friday Tuesday lunch.\u00a0 (Lunch on Friday at Ruby Tuesday&#8217;s.)\u00a0 I may go see a movie, and I definitely need to get some bread and oatmeal cream pies from the store for work.\u00a0 Tomorrow night, I have a Medieval Dinner to attend at church.\u00a0 I was originally supposed to be helping this amusing affair and in fact bought a costume (a monk&#8217;s robe) from Amazon for it, but then was informed my assistance was not needed.\u00a0 Fortunately for me, somebody cancelled so I was able to get a ticket and make the costume purchase worthwhile.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it for now.\u00a0 Time to hit Facebook and with luck a little DDO time.\u00a0 See you tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let me start off by apologizing for missing yesterday&#8217;s Wandering post.\u00a0 I could give a number of excuses, but it boils down to only having Stumbled across two or three amusing things.\u00a0 I started to Stumble yesterday morning, but got distracted and never got back to the Stumbling.\u00a0 Nevermind the fact that Stumbling is, in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=490"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":492,"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490\/revisions\/492"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=490"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=490"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=490"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
