I spent most of the day hanging out in the chicken coop with the 4 babies and the 3 adults (I thoroughly washed my hands afterwards, I promise!) It was delightfully warm and sunny, and I had cleaned up the coop a bit, so at one point, I had all 7 chickens dirt bathing (and basking in the sun) at the same time, which was adorably cute and delightful. I also finally ran on the elliptical (after 5 days of craziness and excuses: Monday I took a walk instead, Tuesday I was exhausted from babysitting, Wednesday I had band practice instead [definitely a work out], Thursday I was sick, and Friday I was recovering from being sick) and it felt great to get my blood pumping, and even greater to take a cool shower afterwards.
But the best part of the day was reconvening the fellowship so we could continue our campaign of the Lord the Rings Game (Journey to Middle Earth). We played two more adventures and again, we passed one and failed the other, though the one we failed we could have totally passed if I would have stuck to my instincts. That adventure was like a murder mystery game; we had to investigate and collect clues in order to choose a suspect to apprehend. I had an inkling the whole time that it was the dwarf and I should have fought for this instinct. Instead I was talked out of it and we chose the hobbit, which was incorrect. The dwarf was indeed the suspect, and he escaped, so we lost. So in the four adventures we have played, our record is 2-2, not great, but not terrible. And we still have many more adventures to come! It is delightful to have an episodic game to play with a regular group of people (I totally see why D&D campaigns are so popular. I just didn't quite like the mechanics of D&D, but I love the mechanics of this LOTR game!).
With delight,
