Hey sans, what’s the normal daily routine for you and the family?

“i generally patrol the village, to make sure nothing messed with the defenses during the night and that the trees haven’t moved any closer, pay off the riverperson for the day, then go to get my family up. i wake pap up first, to make sure it’s a good day, help him get dressed if he needs it. get ‘liza up after that, check how far the hunger’s progressed in her, and then we head out to “upkeep the puzzles”. meaning, pap messes around with some of the older traps, my daughter keeps an eye on him and works on some of her own, and i go check mine to see if i’ve caught anyone. if i have, i put ‘em on ice- hang ‘em up in the shed- ‘til night falls, and then collect pap and ‘liza and take ‘em home. pap watches his shows during the afternoon, so i turn on the generator for a little while so he can, and take my girl out to teach her self-defense and magic. give her some reading homework after that, and go out to collect wood for the fire and make sure nothing needs repairs, sometimes go out to the dump to salvage stuff. if it’s a food day, we have dinner after that, i put pap to bed and hang out with aliza for awhile til it’s time for her to sleep… and then i go out to harvest anyone i caught that day. takes a couple hours, and after i’m done with them i clean up and either sit around in the basement or try to find something i haven’t read yet. things change here and there, but most days are like that.”
