I think I severely underestimated what it would be like, exactly, to be pregnant in July. Flowy maternity dresses, mocktails, and homemade popsicles have been my lifesavers. I basically just feel like a hot water bottle and I've still got months to go.

Though it is interesting feeling him move more. Interesting to want to organize the nursery to oblivion and then cry when it doesn't look right. And to know that I'm gaining weight specifically for the purposes of 'maternal stores of fat.'

I also started my fourth set of dreams. Demonic monsters on a killing spree - this can only be a job for a ramshackle team of those who dabble in the occult, and I know just who I have to see to get that started. Turns out he is just as prickly there as he is here, but I think I would be worried if he wasn't.

Well, now we're on our way to the Land of the Dead on a boat called the Egyptian Queen. It has moving eyes and is generally unusual. Of course the Captain of the boat is a man named Bloodstained Blade who is less man and more...mostly man with a double-bladed axe for a head. Totally normal. I've been on this boat before, only the last time it was with Carter and Sadie's father.

Khufu's response to hugs is always entertaining. Well, I don't think I've actually hugged him before this dream, but apparently he thought he'd repay the kindness of my hugging him by searching for bugs in my hair. Leave it to the baboon to try to pick bugs out of my hair. I guess he did keep Sadie and Carter safe. Even if Thoth was particularly cruel this time around. I'd love it if dream me could stop eating Friskies, but I guess once a cat goddess, always a cat goddess. Today's flavor was tuna. Not that I ate much of it. The whole "I'm part of the reason your mother is dead because she chose to help a goddess out with a jailbreak and used all her magic to seal my enemy in our prison, which killed her. Oh, and this just so happens to be where I made the deal with your father to protect Sadie and live as a cat and thus abandoned my post" guilt was getting to me.

Before I woke up, we were at the First Cataract. The entrance to the Land of the Dead.

I don't know what's more embarrassing, losing to some possessed mage, or that I'm still stuck on the couch.

I can't believe it's been a week we've been here. Traveled up to Klamath National Forest to do some old fashioned camping with Rey and BB-8 and it's just been amazing. Gorgeous views, it's quiet and it's just nice to be in nature, y'know?

Gonna be kinda sad leaving this place tomorrow. Not 100% sad, I mean, I do miss some modern comforts. Plus Game of Thrones comes back tomorrow.

Quill, boy! I know you on this here message board thing. I sure as hell didn’t fly all the way out to this hippie state for the sunshine. One of the boys back home told me you was out here. I got me a new job as a bounty hunter now so you better reply. Don’t think I can’t track your skinny ass down more than I already have.

Also, since this is a public message board, might as well ask: where's the best bar you people got in this place? I'm talkin' about a real bar. Not some frilly joint that serves overpriced fancy looking artisanal shit. I mean a place that's questionable lookin', where a good 'ole bar fight isn't out of place.

You know, finding an abandoned carnival on Halloween is so cliche. But when crazy shit starts to happen... Like zombies of everyone you loved who dies start coming up out the ground, it's natural to get driven into a mental break down. Not to mention dream friends know who I really am. And sucks I can't do a fucking thing to help us because I don't have the power boosters.

But you know what really sucks.. What really killed me... Peter.... Seeing Peter as a fucking zombie, telling me. no calling me a monster. because deep down, he's right. I'm a monster. It's my fault he died... And I'll never forgive myself for that...

not in my dreams and not here for running Peter away.

Jupiter is still my favorite planet besides Earth, pimples or no.

A guy came in the bar today with 40 lip piercings. My question for the masses is WHY? How does he eat or drink or do anything really?
