Sleep 0230 to 0630, 1 hour nap (5 hours)

• Gaming at Sophia and Woo’s (D&D Session 26). Woke up early to feed cat. Couldn’t get back to sleep. Was a bit punchy. We did get almost 4 hours of gaming though it was mostly Dave S doing stuff.
• Group dinner at Dave’s Hot Chicken because that’s where Jonathan wanted to go. Unimpressed.

Sleep 0330 to 0730, 0800 to 1200 (8 hours)

• Even after 8 hours of sleep (with a break in between to feed cat) I was still tired all day.

Sleep 0230 to 0730, 1115 to 1415 (8 hours)

• Recovering sleep.
• Need to check if I still have Medi-Cal or not.
• Vaults of Vaarn 2E Backerkit. “Vaarn is a science-fantasy tabletop RPG setting…It draws inspiration from novels such as Dune, Hyperion, The Book of the New Sun, and the graphic works of Moebius.” 1E was being released in ‘zine form and I have the first three (of four) issues, although it looks like issue 4 is not part of 2E as it was set outside Vaarn. It uses its own system based on Knave and it is £18 PDF. Probably won’t buy it.

Sleep 0145 to 0715 (5-1/2 hours)

• Spent an hour trying to find out if my BenefitsCal change of income was reviewed since I expect to lose Medi-Cal. Went to CoveredCA where you can also report income change so I did it there. A bit of a confusing system. In any case if I go to CoveredCA it won’t let me apply for anything else until the change of income is reviewed. Guess I’ll give them a day to process (which admittedly would be really fast for government) and call them Thursday.
• Actually the CoveredCA home page says go to BenefitsCal to speed up process which I guess is why I submitted my change there in the first place. Don’t quite remember.

Wed Aug 06 2025

Sleep 0615 to 1400 (7-3/4 hours)

• Stayed up late enough that easier to stay up another hour or two then feed the cat an early breakfast.
• C3+S dinner. Leftovers.
• Went to see The Fantastic Four: First Steps with CSr.
• RapidWeaver Elements 1.0 released from RealMac — I use their RapidWeaver Classic product. It’s been around for a couple of years as a paid beta. I don’t care enough about a fancy and interactive web site to switch over. In fact a wiki is probably what I’ve wanted all along except that wikis imply a database which must also be maintained which is why I haven’t ever fully committed to putting my web site in a wiki.

Thu Aug 07 2025

Sleep 0330 to 0800 (4-1/2 hours)

• Leagues Cup (between the US MLS and Mexico Liga) phase 1 ends Saturday. In phase 1 everyone plays three games then it’s back to regular league play. The best four teams in each league advance to phase 2 maybe in a couple of weeks or next month. Kind of nice because all these games I get behind on watching so with this format no chance of me accidentally seeing who advanced (which happened last year) before I’ve finished watching phase 1 games.

Sleep 2230 to 0700 (8-1/2 hours)

• Toyota Walnut Creek for car service. $524.
• Breakfast at Buttercup a few minutes walk away. Eggs Benedict with Pastrami, Hashbrowns, Cherry Pie, Coffee. $40.
• When I went to feed unit 317 cat he hadn’t eaten breakfast. Turns out the guest there hasn’t seen the cat all day. Hope it didn’t escape and run away. Anyway guest said he’ll call unit 317 owner in case he knows cat hide somewhere special.
