My plan for this morning had been to finish my morning walk as early as possible. The deadline for the #RPGenesis tabletop RPG design jam is today, and I wanted to give myself as much time as possible so I have a chance to get something finished.

Unfortunately I had a hard time getting out the door. Part of my morning routine is to upload and post a video to DTube (well, I usually post via the PALnet integrated version so I can include the “palnet” tag and I also include the “steemace” tag because it’s gaming content and that enables me to get both PALcoin on GG rewards on those posts). When this works it is pretty nice, and for the past few weeks it has been mostly painless, but this morning there was some kind of weird problem, maybe with connectivity or a server somewhere being unresponsive, and the site just isn’t very graceful at handling errors. Eventually I sort of got it posted (I think the DTube entry for today’s video is still a bit broken), but it was later in the day than I would have liked by then.

I walked to the Owosso Bridge, although it was mostly too dark for non-grainy photos for most of the walk. Even though I was kind of rushing I did stop for a few minutes of mindfulness practice on one of the bridge benches. Today I took some inspiration from the darkness and closed my eyes and focused on the sound of the river.

Then I came home back along the path. Despite my grumbling it’s still pretty early, so I’m hoping I will have the time I need to finish my game design.
