Merry christmas.

Once again it's the magical time of year where things get weirder than usual, in this case it turns out the SLC have decided to co-opt Krampusnacht to keep their children in line and behaving, especially considering they have a parade of Krampuses... Krampi?... No idea what the plural form is here.

I also have no clue how she pulled it off, but my mother somehow managed to get fresh made boysenberry cobbler sent from the CR out here...that and my older brother added to the box and sent me a vest that matches up nicely with my gear that I already have, and adds another 5 easily accessible pockets when I layer my stuff properly.... bringing the total up to 18.

So I suppose the yule cat won't try and eat me this year again.

Anyway merry yuletide and all those other well wishes, and a happy new year. Unless something goes sideways again and the world ends a third time, considering the frequency over the last few years it's a good possibility. Maybe we'll get something different, like aliens instead of more nukes.

Someone asked me what I do on a normal day..  I guess since I'm not doing much today due to snow storms blocking up the streets I may as well make a post regarding this.

In general I wake up a bit before dawn and wander downtown to one of the gyms that has a mixed martial arts group and do some exercise and practice, the cold air wakes me up on the walk to and from the druid barrow, then I make my way to City Creek center where some of the food places are and trade some fresh produce for a hot meal and make my way back to the dow barrow to help the druids with tending the gardens.

If there's no work to be done at the barrow I head over to one of the nearby trade districts and check the nearest bulletin boards to see if there any work that needs to be done.

Speaking of, once the streets are cleared I did pick up a contract, I've been asked to head north of the city to one of the ranches and help clear out a pack of coyotes that's been harassing some rancher's cattle operation.
