Thankfully, we are over most tree pollen problems in Small City, Kansas. It was rough a few weeks ago, I'll give you that. This weekend, including Friday, are sub 4 on the pollen scale.

No, not by a long shot. -
I must sleep. Sleep is the mind-healer. Sleep is the big-life that brings total ability to fucking do anything. I will face my bed. I will permit the blankie to pass over me and snores to pass through me. And when sleep has gone past I will turn the outer eye to greet the new morning. When the sleep has gone there will be everything. Energy and will to live will remain.

The General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces reported on June 12 that Russia has lost over 1 million soldiers since the beginning of its full-scale invasion. Think about it: Over 1 million. The Ukrainian estimates don't give a breakdown of how many of those are killed and how many are injured. The usual ratio is considered to be one dead to two or three injured — thus, if these estimates are correct, it means that over 250,000 Russian soldiers were killed in action. It's impossible to verify Ukrainian estimates, yet the Western consensus is that these numbers are more or less true. Western intelligence placed the number of killed Russian soldiers at around 180,000-200,000 late last year. This number roughly equals the combined U.S. death toll in the World War I, the Korean War and Vietnam War. It's hard to comment on this number — it's staggering. It's also absolutely irrelevant for the Russians. -
It's the calm before the storm… Of shipping material.

Last time I checked, the rain was forecast to happen around 9. I didn't recheck before I went for a walk. Should have. I got rained on starting at about the 2/3 mark. Not a hard rain, but enough to make it less than pleasant. The current forecast is rain/thunderstorms until 6. See what happens.

Well, crap. I forgot to take my morning drugs when I got up. Took them a few moments ago. This means I'm going to have to stay up longer than normal, so I don't overdose on Lamictal. I was told that to make sure that at least 10 hours were between doses. Ideally 12. Less than optimal. I suspect I'll spend some quality time with Daz Studio this evening.

I was right. Cinder Tedd can talk and use words. However, it looks like they have a bad case of forced speech, which isn't a good thing. Let's see what happens after Prince Elliot calms them down a bit.

My brain is fried this morning. For some reason, I thought it was Saturday and sent out may “D&D Game Sunday…” message. And I've had a pot of tea. Today may be a caffeine pill day.

My newest office chair is starting to have issues. Not major, but the left-hand arm rest is coming loose. As it happens, once I pay either my medical bills or Pennsic registration fee, then medical bill, depending, I was planing on getting another for the “laptop's desk”. The newer one will go on the main desk and the one that I currently have will go on the “not used as much” desk. Meh. Was something I was planing on doing anyway, so I just have a little bit of urgency in getting it now. Might not just get the cheapest on the River Store website and do a little research into what they are made of.

Well, in theory, they are talking now. In full rational sentences? No, but they are talking. It remands to be seen whether they get their shit together or not.

While not quite as important to me, Sly Stone died this week as well.

Garry England 1939-2025. If you are or were an Oklahoman, this means something. It's also possible he saved your life.

I can see guiding, but it stretching it to empowering would take some work. Of course, as we understand it, an immortal action only had to meet one of those criteria, not both.

Here is. Hope shows way more courage than I would have expected.

There is a reason I do as much of my texting via my browser with a grammar checker installed, and no autocorrect. While my phone doesn't normally screw up, its predictive keyboard is a bit weird occasionally.

I'm having a hell of a time getting moving today. See how I feel in an hour or so once the drugs kick in.

Speaking, yes. Thinking? I think they can still do that. They might have trouble putting voice to those thoughts, but they are both thinking "Damn, they are cute".

No, that's corporate management, not fae. Different type of mystical creature.

Of course, in 5e, Wis is mainly used for, apart from clerics and druids, making perception checks. So a high wisdom only means, in general, that you are aware of the world. Dogs still get proficiency with perception checks, and advantage on those using scent. I'm not sure that Immortals are all that aware of the mortal world.
