I got 20 minutes.

I've got 20 minutes. That's about 20 minutes more than I've had to even think about writing in my blog since my last entry. But 20 minutes is 20 minutes, so let's see what I can cover in 20 minutes. That's a lot of twenty-minutes in a very short amount of space. Twenty minutes. Heh.
February went by far too quick. Even now when I'm looking back at February, all I can remember is Valentine's Day, and that doesn't feel like particularly long ago either. Dan and I went to Salvatore's and enjoyed a pizza and some drinks. It was low-key. I actually figured Dan deserved a break from "couple stuff" since he had spent years detesting it, but to my surprise he's the one that actually wanted to do something. Progress I guess.
Started a Pathfinder campaign with Onyon, Birb and Lyle. We're doing it weekly on Sundays (though only session 0 and 1 have actually been on a Sunday, the other two sessions were both Tuesdays). I designed a really cool character that I've been really enjoying. Lyle has been particularly good about letting us take some creative liberties and change some things to add flavour. My character is an element-bending mushroom lady named Kori Stonegrove. We've been roleplaying a little bit in the campaign which has been interesting. I'm finding it more difficult than roleplaying in WWRP because of the... fact that I guess I'm staring at a bunch of PNGs?
The roleplay flavour I've been shining at has been descriptions of combat moves, etc. that my character has been doing. Still, some feminine voice acting here and there sprinkled about.
This last week I've been going through the ringer on some medication drama. About a week ago today I was told my doctors wanted to put me on an appetite suppressant to help with my weight problems. Confusing when you consider that for years I've been told my weight regulation issues stem from my under performing thyroids and that I don't actually have all that much of an appetite to begin with. Either way, I trust in them so I will do what they say.
I can't drink for the entire month that I'm taking them so I'm going to get drunk to some Runescape tomorrow night with Lyle and the lads. Then on Saturday I think I'm going to spray my yard and destroy the weeds and paddock grass there. It needs a mow too. I so look forward to when my garage is done and built and has a lockable door so I can buy a ride on mower and store it on site. It'll make keeping the property maintained just so much easier.
My raspberry bush is producing a lot of raspberries which is somewhat of a surprise. I followed some guides last year on how to trim it down and prune it in a way that will result in next to no berry production for a couple years but would leave me with a lot more in the long term. Was expecting no berries for a couple of years, but to my surprise there's even more than last year. Maybe I timed the pruning really well or something. Must wait for them to ripen and then do something with them. I have until late April for them to get ripe, I think. Exciting stuff, really. Will be more-so when I live there and can make all sorts of delicious treats with them.
Well, that's 10 of my 20 minutes. I'm gonna go be productive in other ways for the next 10. Peace.
