Jess 🔜 PAXU 🔜 UnPub

Great way to start the new year. Player 5 published games today!

Went to work at a fitness center this morning… it was surreal how few people there were… especially knowing that it will be packed in 48 hours.

Today’s huge win…

We have not had a real kitchen since April. We now have most of a kitchen! All we are missing is stove/oven!!

That is all. I just had to share my excitement with the world.

I read it as touch gross, and was briefly very alarmed.

That sounds super enjoyable!

❄️ Snow!!!!!!❄️

It was really fun to meet so many people I didn’t know before this weekend at BGG.con.

Now time for chill time with the kiddos to recuperate.

Can you add me and @schoonology.bsky.social to the list when you get a chance please. 🙏

I’m at BGGcon in the UNPUB room, come say hi!👋

Streaming Banana Ball was definitely something I didn’t know I needed.

I feel so much better after this evening.

It doesn’t fix things, but gave me some positive energy to start the process of figuring out how to move forward.

I have never seen so many women’s eyes welled up with tears as they walk their kids to school as I did today.

Frontier is the same.

The insurance system is stupid.

I broke my foot on Friday, but can’t schedule a follow up visit until after I get a referral from my PCP…

of which I’m between because my insurance dropped that medical group…

I was in a waiting room for seven hours last night… not fun.

Today’s song lyrics to think about:
“You’ve got every right to a perfect life”

Well I guess I can’t win every thing. That was supposed to say first time ever.

Sleeping bag, duffel bag, shoes and day pack, stacked and ready to go.

Who’s ready for Girl Scout camp on wednesday before it starts on sunday? Thing 1… for the guest time ever!

Hold on, hold on. Harris needs a VP to connect with the white working class... that motivates regular Americans... and the first rally is in Philly??

Hey 🎲✂️ friends,

If you're headed to PAX West and you have a game to playtest, please please please grab a reserved table.

Please also remind your friends who are going.

If we don't sell these tables then we likely won't be able to come back in the future. Seattle is expensive!!

@schoonology.bsky.social was transformed today at Hershey Park

Watching The Big Lebowski at an interactive movie night The Creatuve Alliance in Baltimore is definitely a fabulous way to start off the weekend.

It took me more time to remember to get to the polling place today than it did to vote… ten minutes for the whole process.

Noted!

But there isn’t a stepdaddy day…

I just heard some lyrics that hit…

I may not be facing Goliath, but I’ve got my own giants.

Will, those people are poopyheads… you are awesome.

Schoon leaves for two weeks tomorrow.... send pizza!

I just found out I get to be the Tabletop Coordinator for GeekGirlCon!

Sometimes it is good to look back through your journal and see the happy moments
