wombat_sochoSo I basically came back broke from DC. This means that I've been mostly staying in, doing some cleaning, doing research, playing Civicrack, reading...and that's pretty much it. I did take an advance from Speedy Cash to fill holes in checking accounts and keep the pantry stocked with necessities, and eventually part of my travel reimbursement from the VA came in, but I've been very careful not to spend any money on anything I didn't have to until Friday when the VA disability check comes in.
I finished Escaping The City and have moved on to The Thing from HR. I did look up desert homesteading online and found a useful YouTube video on rainwater harvesting, which looks a lot cheaper than drilling wells looking for water that may not be there...although there is that big honking salt marsh across U.S. 6, which seems to indicate that there's some kind of water under the sand and rocks.
I finished Traum and for now I'm just doing the daily blue gem stuff, saving my SQ, and doing the occasional interlude or rankup quest.
Did some Ingress over the weekend but stayed in yesterday and today eating hoddawgs but no zorgrot since I hate that stuff. Bush's Zero-Sugar beans are decent. Also killed a box of potato skins, which turned out to be disappointingly small. Weight has unsurprisingly gone up.
We couldn't beat the Bravos at the Launching Pad, but we did avoid the sweep. Friday, it's the Brewers at RFK.
