The faffing about I’ve been doing in this game is off the charts.
The faffing knows no bounds.
Legends Z-A is still shaping up to be one of my favorite in the series.

Excited to talk about this one because it’s from a classmate. @benjis.stories is an award-winning Australian comics creator, and his latest standalone graphic novel, “The Unknown Road,” is a beautifully illustrated story about loss, redemption, and the chance we all wish we had.

Started this beard back when we hit the T-Minus 41 days mark until Baby Girl D arrived. I told April, and everyone really, I was doing it to help me be aware of passing moments, be present as we approach this massive change to our family, and that I wouldn’t shave until she got here.
And, well…
And, well…

This weekend was prepping for Baby Girl D’s arrival.
This also meant going book shopping for the older boys and moving some of their books down a notch for her to read.
Also taking the time to reorganize their books because I don’t know I’m losing my mind.

On the left, Unbranded notebook, Morning Pages vol. 16, dated 1.24.2025-9.02.2025
On the right, a leather cover I got for Christmas some years back with a Piccadilly insert.
Should be fun. Maybe I’ll finish it up before the Baby D arrives.
