Day 797: Always a nice spring day

Sometimes you need a project that’s just for, y’know, goofing around. This is the ongoing saga of my Minecraft character. For lack of a better title, we’re going with “One Among the Dead”. 

Day 797:

Still doing a lot of work outside during the day, and a lot of work in the caves at night. I should probably sleep more, but

  1. even after two plus years I haven’t figured out how to adjust my sleep schedule to meet this planet’s extremely fast days and
  2. I’m pretty sure i have some kind of anxiety problem because there are a lot of times I try to lay down to sleep and it just doesn’t happen.

Now, that could be because I’m sleeping on a bed I made myself out of ducken feathers and ducken skin leather. It could be because the temperature’s always too hot or too cold or too dry or too damp when you sleep in a cave that’s heated with a coal stove. Or it could be because I don’t have any open windows ever because of the monsters, so the air can get pretty stale.

Fortunately it’s still beautiful outside, not much rain lately, so even when I feel exhausted, being outside doing things is beautiful and relaxing. Well, when nothing’s trying to kill you, anyway, which admittedly only really happens from sunset to sunrise as long as I stay out of the woods.

Here’s a fun picture I took today. I think one of the land squid that carry around blocks of sod  — for fun? because they eat it? because they like redecorating? — stuck one on top of a tree.

On the left, a cliff. On the right, the river. Straight ahead, a tree with a block of grass on the top of its crown.
