So found out the other day that my dad's probably having a second midlife crisis. Apparently he just up and bought a freaking kayak.like the man is so far behind on his bills and debts and stuff....and he buys a kayak, like not even a boat boat. Lol

Not much has been going on lately, most exciting thing I got coming up is a new D&D game I was invited to. Going to play a chaotic good hexblood necromancer who uses her dark magics to defend the innocent, saving people, and basically providing grief counseling and closure for families and people who lost loved ones tragically or help town guards solve killings by allowing the victims to speak for themselves

Hey sorry I've been up for a bit but a few interesting things have happened the main one being that I now own a pet turtle. He is just a baby right now and was a class pet that the Pre-K teacher was going to just set loose in the wild. So I adopted him. Depending on how good I take care of him he could live up to like 40 years

Why buy a Kayak? that is one of the most random purchases xD

Thanks, yeah this little guy is cute and I even saw him eating the other day. As for new games, not really. I mean there are some that I want for my PS5 but money is tight. On top of that the bulk of my free time is devoted to D&D prep. Got a sequel campaign in the works while trying to finish our current one. What free time outside of that I have has been divided into keeping up with my drawing practice and watching Cowboy Bebop. (Picked it up not to long ago on DVD) And yes, a kayak is the most random thing he has ever bought. How are things going in your neck of the woods? Would love to hear back from you about anything interesting going on over seas

So apparently the new Assassin's Creed game is out and people are divided on it. I currently really have no hard opinion since I haven't looked into it much but it is weird that it is the first game in the franchise that you play as an actual historical figure and not an original character with the historical figures as supporting characters

Apparently he just up and bought a freaking kayak.like the man is so far behind on his bills and debts and stuff....and he buys a kayak, like not even a boat boat. Lol He needs to feel young again! He hears the call to adventure! Where have the glory days gone? I bet working out and dieting would help. Just something to make him feel good about himself. He must be stressed with all that debt...
My next purchase is a linen t-shirt so I can stay cool on the summer camping trip I'm going on in a few months.
Turtles are cool, I like turtles.

![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/50/58/eb/5058eb82450aa686ebbe48c2ea3f1b6c.jpg) Hey, welcome back! Sorry I haven't been on in a bit. Been caught up in work and writing for my D&D games. What camp are you going to? I haven't been camping in forever and kinda miss it. Just haven't found the time to since my little brother graduated from cub scouts. Also yeah I never pictured myself as a turtle owner and now I picked up a second one because a first grade teacher had one and was just going to chunk him out into the wild so I went ahead and brought him home. Still need to get a bigger tank right now the one I got is okay but not ideal for having two of them running around. Calling the new one Leo likely Leonardo from the Ninja turtles as a companion to Mikey of the same inspiration. Leo is a lot less skittish than Mikey I can tell you what. Mikey's the one that I rescued from the Pre-K classroom so to speak and I think that little turtle has PTSD because anytime it spots a human getting close it takes off and hides whereas Leo just kind of sits there and watches you.

Sorry I haven't popped in in a bit. Been busy with summer work. I'm helping out the custodians at the area highschool with one of my co workers for the next two weeks because they needed a few extra hands. Mostly it's been tedious work of stripping and waxing floors but it could be worse. Lol
In turtle news I've decided to end my quarantine of the little guys. I had thought they were developing shell rot and picked up some turtle meds and a treatment plan; however, after a week of treatment I think what I was seeing is just hard water or mineral deposits/stains. Still didn't hurt to be overly careful lol

So this update is going to be a bit more of a rant. Honestly it is so freaking annoying when, no matter how much you deny it, people people assume and or insist that you and a friend you might have of the opposite sex are dating.
I have a co worker who, over the past year I've known her, has become a really good friend of mine ...and that's it. We are friends and nothing else. Both of us have had to put up with work gossip about us dating even tho when we first started being friends she was married...then she wasn't. I literally started being her wingman and now she has a boyfriend.
Usually I can ignore it but today got on my nerves because not only was the guy I was talking to insistent that me and her are going to be together (he assumed because we worked so well as co workers we had to already be married) but when I tried to explain that she already was in a relationship he cut me off and monologued for like 10 minutes.
I know nothing will stop the rumors and that it's just a quirk of society but is so damn annoying

People really like sticking to their first assumptions. Like one time I went to see a couple who were pushing their car in circles in the parking lot at work, to kickstart it. I told them that only works with manual transmissions and their car is automatic so they should just call a tow. The boyfriend asked repeatedly if I was sure, until I told him he can just look it up on his phone if he doesn't trust me. And after he did and found out I was right, his girlfriend said something like "I told you she knew, lesbians know that stuff"
I'm not a lesbian nor do I know that much about cars. But being an adult tomboy apparently means I'm both just like a guy, liking only women and knowing all the man things, but also not at all, because even a non girly girl can know any guy stuff, I guess.
In personal news, I rewatched Ash Vs Evil Dead and am rewatching Better Call Saul, currently at season 5 episode 4. I'm also playing Starfield again since they added mods on console, mostly just QoL/tedium-skipping ones but that does make it much better.

I'm sorry that happened to you, that couple sound really freaking dense. They couldn't have just taken the advice and said thank you, smh. I need to get around to watching Ash vs the evil dead. I have it on DVD I just haven't watched it yet. Hell I just now got around to playing assassin's Creed Valhalla and I got that like two years ago. Mostly I've been focused on writing for d&d and taking care of my turtles. Just got them a 20 gallon tank when I was out with my dad doing late Father's Day stuff yesterday. Also got them a new heat lamp that can also do UVB rays but the thing was freaking 90$ by itself. These little guys are expensive lol

Kind of bummed out, I've been reading the entire Percy Jackson series. I finished the first five books back in winter and started the heroes of Olympus a few weeks ago when I'm already on the 5th book from that. I'm not much of an avid reader but I was having a lot of fun with this series and now I'm basically at the end until I can track down the rest of like the spin-offs

Good luck finding them.
I also have a shit ton of books I haven't read. Recently got Stormlight Archive vol.4 and Mistborn 1-3, even though I haven't even started Stormlight 1. Also randomly found a relatively recent Warhammer 40k novel for like 3$ at a used goods store.
