Sometimes a cheat code is the answer

 


Sunday

I got up at 9, never having heard my alarms in the guest room. And it was raining. I went through the morning list. I got started on cheese squares. Michelle called, having a reaction to something. All I had to offer was charcoal, so I told her to call EMS. She did and they gave her benedryl.

I pulled the cheese squares out of the oven. I posted to my blog for Friday. I made and ate breakfast. I got dressed for church, then took the cheese squares and a zucchini to church.

Only a handful of people showed up, and the chaplain and Keli were not amongst them. Apparent the chaplain went to the hospital this morning and they were concerned he might have giant cell arteritis. Idk. Anyway, Popken led the service and I played hymns afterward. Then we all chatted and had cheese squares and went home. I stayed to check for my chenille pumpkin project but still couldn't find it.

When I got home, I ate some fruit and laid down and fell asleep. Chris woke me at 5 for the game. He had supper waiting for me. I listened to the Integrated Tapping Summit until everyone was present, then we played the game.

Our intrepid explorers were in the middle of a fight, but they handily won. Then we tracked down a revised will and delivered it to the council. It named the bastard daughter as heir. So we informed her of her parentage and inheritance and new place on the council of 5. Then two other members of the council asked to speak with us, separately. They each had a task to ask us to perform. Neither of which appealed to me but which would probably involve fighting.

After the game, I started working on my blog. Then we made the bed with a clean cover and sheets and blankets. I finished my blog and made tea. I jotted down all cleaning hours for yesterday.

Michelle invited me over for another game night, and also to be home with Isadora so she could go to the gym. So I went over. But then Michelle decided to stay home and chat. I played the game, always getting killed by the ice monster. Then I asked her if there were cheat codes for the game and she looked it up. Yes, there was a code to type in that made me invincible. That was a big help. But I still had to make almost impossible jumps. There was also a code to get all the weapons at once. But it turns out that the ice monster is invulnerable to bazookas.

Casey and Cedric came home from their trip. Casey unpacked the car and Cedric put himself to bed. The game seized and Casey freed it up. I kept missing the jumps and reloading the game. I succeeded a few times, then Casey did the last jump for me. From there, I got Urgon's part, slid back down to the first level and used it to defeat the ice monster and move to the ending of the level. Then I got the opportunity to buy ammo and med kits. I bought ammo but the screen seized so I didn't get med kits. I figured I didn't need them anyway, being invincible, but later decided I should have turned the invincibility off.

I made the next level at 11, thanked them, and went home. Chris and I retired to bed together.
