After a pleasant holiday off, I'll resume tomorrow. It may be a bit late due to a possible eye doctor thing. Might have pink eye going.

<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Taking a chunk of today off due to the above. Argh, itchy eyes drive me insane.

Okay, so after a normal Sunday off, an impromptu vacation day on Monday and now today getting hit with pink eye, I'm rested up and ready to go. I'm going to post late tonight and get seriously rolling in the morning. May as well finish my unplanned mini vacation.

Today's my birthday, so some awayness and distractions are possible. We'll roll with it as best we can.

I also may take some lazy time since it's my birthday, but we'll see. I want to make some progress today regardless.

I may post a bit, but this will largely be a down day.

Also I may be late tomorrow due to a doctor's appointment.

From the IRC:

> Okay, I took today off from B3, pretty much. Nothing's wrong with it and I'm having fun - it's just a boundaries thing. I end up DMing a lot more each day with posts than IRC, since it's harder to set session boundaries and you can just go on and on and on all day. I may set a second day off this week or look to herd a little more towards sessions, we'll see.
<Ebiris> Everyone enjoys a break now and then.
> That sort of boundary-ing isn't my strongest point, so I'll be stepping it up to prevent burnout.
* Kowork nods.
> I've sort of half fallen into it, so I may make Mondays a day off. Saturday's too useful to catch some people so I'd rather keep that one.

Basically, running for 5-8+ hours a day isn't sustainable.

Yuthirin

Not running game every day is probably a good idea. Limiting yourself to 3-4/week is probably a better idea.

I took last weekend off outside a single post. Didnt even see Dune poking me until sunday evening since I didnt open irc at all. If you still need to chat (if it wasn'tjust a go post poke) you can probably grab me tonight or tomorrow while Neph's game is running.
<Cidward> God willing, we'll all meet in Buttquest 2: The Quest for More Butts.

Anastasia

That's fine, Merc. I figured you needed it.

I'm going to be trying some different scheduling things the next few days, see how they strike me. Today I'm going to try a strict schedule. Today I'll run from:

1 PM to 4 PM EST

9 PM to 11 PM EST (Exception will be made if I get on a posting run with Yuth, since I've been aiming to do that. I'm aware it's Neph's game today, so that posting will largely be aimed at non-players if available)

That's 5 solid hours of DMing, so let's see how those boundaries hold.

Once her current thread is finished up, Ithea will be taking a short hiatus. This is anticipated to last 1-3 weeks as work is burying Merc right now. If you absolutely need Ithea for something coming up, say so now so we can make arrangements.

Yuthirin

I don't! Sorta anticipated that Merc would need time, and thus engaged the merchant idea.

As mentioned on IRC, my eyes aren't staying open. Stupid lack of sleep. Posting this evening is iffy, don't stay around on my account. I'm probably going to crash early.

Also I see your PM, Yuth. Just not coherent enough to deal with it right now.

I may be late today, unrelated RL stuff.
