Today was an adventure. I was led astray by my own self-assuredness, which can lead anyone into trouble as it can lead to cockiness and it is too soon to be cocky. I am just a level one cleric after all. I have yet to be able to swing my mace (aka my free weight bar) without endangering the plants. Now, that I have gotten out of my great slumber it is time to start moving again.
I joined a small ramble of women in the morning for some socialization and idle chit-chat. I carefully measured out the cream thinking that I knew precisely what I was doing and getting with it. Alas, I discovered upon my return and examination that I was wrong. I had gotten double of what I was bargaining for and it had not even given a proper taste to the coffee. Sadly, I think I will give up this brown, invigorating beverage if I cannot compensate for its bitterness with cream.
I found that I was short on equipment and had to make a quick trip to the local Apothecary (Walgreens) to acquire the sticks for testing Ketones. A young woman behind the counter was kind enough to confirm I had picked up the wrong sticks and to not only hand me the correct ones but the cheaper ones on hand enabling me to save some of my precious gold and silver. Jewelry making with stretchy bands does lend one to a grand fortune. I do like how she called it her brand, showing pride in her shop. I also picked up a zingy elixir promising "No Carbs," but alas I was fooled upon my later divining its ingredients. It had happened again, this fooling business had to come to an end. I simply didn't have the points left to maneuver.
I left the shop and headed back. The sky was cloudy and the wind had chilled a bit in my short time inside. There were dogs running wildly amongst the grass while their humans watched. I didn't have time to stand by and enjoy the sight; I had to return to the Inn (apartment). I headed off down the trail that runs alongside Jordan Creek watching the minnows swimming as I crossed the bridge. I braced myself for the Hill of Wind Stealing to come. It's a rather long hill that starts with a slight incline for about a block, then is dramatic incline for 3/4 of a block, back to a slight incline for another block, making it a difficult climb as there is not much of a break once it gets started. Triumphantly, I made it up to the top of the hill without having to stop even once.
Given my options left for food I had to make a decision. I could continue on with my plan by I would be over in Honey coins for the day, or I could change entirely what I planned to eat and stay within budget. Sure, the barkeep is nice and may allow me to slip things by from time to time, but why start off in such a way? I decided to switch it up, and I believe I ended up with a more enjoyable meal out of it.
All in all it has not been a bad day. There have been some hiccups, but they have been conquered. I have learned. I am wiser. I will do better tomorrow. Tomorrow, I think I will swing my mace around a bit.
