It's stealing "No Geese Allowed" signs.

Sometimes, the best way to deal with overwhelm is to be goose, do crimes.

The sign beside the sidewalk sale is too heavy to move, alas. :D

(I’ve also been playing Odd Giants, a Glitch reboot which is… not even in beta yet, it’s more heavily Under Construction, and I joined their Patreon. I miss this game dearly (my slack flash is usually still the Glitch crab) and there have been several reboot attempts over the years that haven’t worked out. It’s been fun collecting stuff from dust traps and feeding hungry giants…)

I’m doing the opposite of nanowrimo, which is sort of nanosabbaticalmo, because it turns out that after three years of panini my brain did not handle two months of Constant People And Travel very well. Also the house is really in need of Getting Ready For Winter and also less dramatic cleaning, as we were home long enough to basically drop off our laundry and get new clothes (not actually wash anything) from September-October. Inclusive.

I’m too old for this shit.

How about you all? What are you doing to de-stress?

I’m intrigued to hear more. I have a desire to live in the open like this, to share more. But I’m frankly terrified of people attacking me. It takes courage to be authentic like this…
