ysobelKinda funny how mood can affect experiences as much as the other way around.
Impulse-went out to eat tonight... Black Bear Diner, a casual diner spot where I took advantage of their all-day-breakfast thing to get an egg scramble that had potatoes and onions and tomatoes and pickled jalapeños and bacon and sausage and cheese, white gravy on top, with a buttermilk biscuit on the side) and because their portions are huge I ate half and brought the rest home for tomorrow
and I'm just really satisfied and happy, and I know good food improves my mood, but good moods make food better
I don't expect this mood to last all evening but dang it's nice

Unrelatedly, I love that the D&D DM for my group rewards roleplaying. Our group had freed a genie and were granted a wish; the guy with the highest charisma was volunteered to make our request. He didn't make any effort and was just basically "give us X", got a 19 on a persuasion check, and that failed and annoyed the genie. I used the inspiration I'd gotten (from a really good pun) to undo that attempt, then decided to take over since high-charisma dude didn't want to try again. My character has -1 to charisma, but I gave a passionate speech about the various adventures we'd been through and the various perils we were facing and how we could Defend The Innocents better if we could get some fun magic items to use... I got a 10 for the persuasion check and *passed*. (High-charisma dude is already at BEC status for me, so it was extremely amusing to win with a lower roll just because I ... erm, roleplayed, in a role play game, how novel...)
