Foot 2021, Part Eight

Short one this time because it’s mostly just more of the same “yep, still got an open wound there. Two weeks.” I had yet another follow-up on Tuesday. This one was with the doctor I’ve mentioned as basically being House. The wound on the side of my foot, the one that’s holding everything up, has… Read More »

Foot 2021, Part Seven

Had another follow-up today. I was supposed to last week, but the doctor had an emergency to deal with so it got pushed back. No big deal. It’s healing up pretty nicely except for that one spot that’s been refusing to. That spot is down to a 1/8” to 3/16” diameter hole about 1/2” to… Read More »

More Game Assets

As you may have guessed, I've been making more game assets. They're all LOD A placeholders, but they're getting done. Here are a couple of flying saucers and one sawblade. The orange saucer is only about a quarter the diameter of the metal one, and the sawblade is about the same diameter as the orange… Read More »

Agile and Life

Agile is a flexible project management system originally developed by and for the software industry. It’s an outgrowth of Lean manufacturing, and it accepts that things will always be fluid in certain projects. As a prototyper and game designer, I’ve found it incredibly valuable as a set of principles. You know what else is always… Read More »

Had yet another follow-up this morning. Doctor looked it over and said it was healing pretty well. Well enough that he removed some of the stitches. I still have the stitches on the bottom of my foot, but the ones on the side have been removed. The one bad spot is still weeping some fluid,… Read More »

I’ve Been Making Spaceships

Since I have nothing but time on my hands for the next couple weeks, I've been working on assets. This week that means ships for an as yet unnamed space shooter. If the shooter doesn't use the Rokkit engine, it'll probably be a rail shooter like Space Harrier. The advantages to a rail shooter are… Read More »

Hawaiian Omelet

I saw this recipe while surfing the web the other day, and since Stacie’s out of town I figured I’d give it a shot. If we don’t count the one that started with nine different vegetables and looked like a royal pain in the nether regions to make, there were several versions online with the… Read More »

Two follow-ups in two days. Yesterday I went back to the podiatrist who did the surgery. He said it looks good, it’s healing pretty well, and that the one spot that’s still leaking is to be expected considering it’s where all the stitches come together and is right over where the infection was on the… Read More »

Trying to Engage in Some Monkey Business

Despite my mobility issues, I am trying to get something accomplished. And really, what else am I going to do when I can't do much but lie in bed, sit at my desk, and occasionally drive Mama on an errand? Don't need both feet functioning to use a keyboard and mouse, and I'm hardly taking… Read More »

Mozzarella Bruschetta Flatbread

By Patrick MurphyPosted on June 28, 2021June 28, 2021Cat FoodTags Budget, Diabetic, Easy, ItalianLeave a comment

This was inspired by my hostibule lunch on Tuesday. Flatbread, cheese (I think cheddar and mozzarella), herbs, and thin-sliced tomatoes. It was good, but they kept it tame for the general audience. For my version, I upgraded the tomato component to bruschetta. The flatbread I used was a round pita, and I used regular sliced… Read More »
