Thing I learned today: using my scythe to cut grass/weeds takes less energy than breaking rocks or chopping wood or, for some reason, watering seeds.

Other thing I learned today: there are super weird things happening in this town. First it was raining again. But: I had a letter from my old employer apologizing for a land slide they caused. Then I started hearing creepy noises. My immediate reaction was to go look… then I remembered all the lessons from black TikTok and was like “stop it, white people” and kept my self safe at home working in my yard,

One interesting thing was I found grandpa’s grave with a note from him to me saying he will come back in a couple of years. Guess he was losing it near the end.

After most of the day working, I did go scrounge for more wild plants. I found a few…and I found some strange people. First was a weird dude who lived in a tent who just wanted to be left alone (so I did). Second was a LARPer who lived in a cave, gave me a rusty sword, and invited me into his mine to join his Adventure Guild. I mean…I like RPGs but this felt a little too Silence of the Lambs for me so I excused myself, went home, and went back to sleep.

One note: I had about 16 seeds planted. When I got home it looked like 3-4 were still there. If I wake up and my plants are not there growing I will be very unhappy.

This town doesn’t need a farmer. They need an exorcist.
