Week 921
Day 6441 - 2/18 - Fussy tummy
Today my tummy is pretty fussy, yesterday too. I got some pastrami and some cheese to have for foods, which sounded really great, but they have both been very bleh in my tummy. Especially yesterday when I also tried some bread. Pretty massive reaction to that, so I guess bread is very far at the top of bad reaction still.
I guess today was ok other than that. I've been having a lot of migraines lately, so that has put a big damper on things, but I guess that is pretty much average these days. It is also raining and has been super freezing, so hopefully that clears up and stops soon.
Day 6442 - 2/19 - Alarm interruption
Today was pretty good, though for some reason around 2:15 the fire alarms went off and they evacuated the building. I don't know if the fire people were told to de-prioritize it, but it took them what seemed like a really extremely long response time at 25 minutes to show up. And the nearest station is literally one block away and across a street from the library. I don't know the person readying time, but driving time should have been about 1 minute.
I guess the day passed ok. I barely played at all. I don't really feel in the mood to play or work on pen and paper hobby stuff. I think I had a bit of a migraine going on. I took pain pills much earlier than usual. I did decide since I had a flat uncaring mood that would be a good time to get ahead on school assignments since I can, so that was good time spent. Now I just have really one project due in two weeks, which I may do tomorrow, then I'm mostly have the next two weeks off in theory. Though I expect I'll need to do small interaction things.
A pretty good day all things considered, but deep inside I am still pretty sad about my life.
Day 6443 - 2/20 - So many strawberries
Today I have a lot of super yummy strawberries. There was a 2 pound pack for $5 for a Friday sale. I guess maybe these were extra harvested and left over for valentine's day. They don't seem bad at all, so hopefully they last a while. Normally I get a small one every few weeks, which is maybe only 1/2 pound, and those go bad by the 3rd day. But these still have their tops on and aren't cut at all, so I'd think they'd last longer.
I found out yesterday's alarm was probably dust buildup. Seriously? Because the main air and heating has been broken for nearly a year now the fire alarms got jammed up with dust and they had to have someone come out to replace them today? I get fixing the main building heating and cooling is likely hundreds of thousands and that's probably why it's still broken since that's a rough number to pull out of a budget that didn't plan for it, but really I'm surprised there haven't been more issues. I still expect they are at very high risk of someone of poor health passing out and falling down the stairs due to lack of proper air circulation.
I did basically do one assignment I had left. I may or may not do more with it. It's really fine as it is. I haven't decided yet. But I didn't really feel like playing much today. I did watch a movie instead though, so that was nice. I was very extremely tired though. I didn't have much energy or feel motivated at all.
I did have a weird feeling tummy though. It felt like I was missing something that I'd forgotten. Like maybe I was missing a party I was invited to. Or like some friends were having a game playing or movie watching night, and I was supposed to go with them. It's a strange feeling since it's been more years than I can count that I did those things. Of course, I'm sad that I miss that and can't do it. But it seems strange to feel that way with the activities so far removed from my current life.
Day 6444 - 2/21 - Pen and paper thing
Today I was super in the mood to do a change with my pen and paper stuff I'd been thinking of lately. Not a huge change, just some fancying up of some cards. But yeesh, it took like double the time I expected it too. It was fine though, I had the time to spend and it didn't use too much, but it seemed odd that it took so long.
I guess the day was pretty ok. I have been very congested and had some pretty bad headaches lately.
I did have another hot dog today and it wasn't as bad. I've started noting how much things affect me since everything seems to affect me differently, giving them points, and checking against what seems to be a 2-3 absorption rate, so hopefully I can keep better track of how much of what I can expect without going over and suffering. My theory is that if I exceed the absorption value that carries over and causes the most issues. So, we'll see if that helps.
I guess overall the day was decent. Night has yet to start so there is still some of today left, but hopefully things will continue to be ok.
Day 6445 - 2/22 - Probably no inserts
Today I did a pretty thorough peek in the trunk and didn't see the inserts or spare boot box. I'll have to get into one super deep corner to be sure, but it seems unlikely that I have them. I think the last time I had to clear space I got rid of all my extra boot stuff. With how much they cost it honestly makes more sense to just go for new boots, which would come with new basic inserts.
Today will hopefully be a good day. It's just now lunch time, so hopefully I can have a good time doing some pen and paper stuff after I'm doing writing and typing.
Day 6446 - 2/23 - Maybe more hobby stuff
Today I expect I will be doing some pen and paper stuff. I'm ahead on school stuff, and my brain is feeling creative, so I can go back to working on hobby stuff. It's still not selling good, let alone great, so sadly it seems to be going nowhere. But at least I am giving my life-long dream of people playing my game stuff a chance.
Day 6447 - 2/24 - Maybe new hobby stuff
Today maybe I will be going back to working on unreleased pen and paper stuff. (Instead of updates to the existing things.) Whatever I do hopefully I'll have a good day and continue to hang on ok emotionally.
Week 922
Day 6448 - 2/25 - Old boots, no inserts
Today was pretty ok. Yesterday and today I was extremely tired. My brain could barely function or think. I don't know why.
This is the second day in a new seat at the library. There have been more and more questionable or annoying homeless gathering in my former spot area. There are some long benches there and they lay on them to sleep. There is even one lady who's been there for like 6 or 8 months who gets in a sleeping bag to sleep. I'm amazed the library allows it. So now I've been testing out a spot all the way across the library where there are basically just bar seats and a couple of single tables. We'll see if I stay there. The connection dropped a few times today and yesterday, which isn't great.
I did get a chance to dig around in the trunk for my boot inserts. I guess I did keep an old pair of boots, but saw no sign of the original inserts I had for my current ones. I might try swapping the inserts, but it's likely the old pair is just as worn out as my current ones, so there'd be no point.
I'm still trying to balance my gluten stuff. That is ongoing. I still have no idea if my kidneys are better or not.
Tomorrow I have a fun game to test, so hopefully that will be super fun. I don't know if it's my kind of game, so I haven't bought it yet, so this test will allow me to decide if it is or not.
Day 6449 - 2/26 - Fun and quick
Today was pretty fun since I played my new test game all day. It made the day pass pretty quickly since each round was between 7-15 minutes. So in an hour I did maybe 5 games. I'm not totally sure if I'll buy it when it comes out on the 5th. The test runs basically through Sunday, so I have a decent amount of time to keep testing and see if it's something I'd like and something enough others would like to have enough to play with. It could easily be worth the 40 or 60 I'd need to pay for it if I did. Playing that many hours would be pretty easy to do I think.
Nothing else really going on today. It was a pretty regular day. I am still overly tired. I have been having a lot of trouble sleeping lately and I don't know why. Hopefully tomorrow will be fun too and I can be extra restful and recover.
Day 6450 - 2/27 - Kinda sick feeling
Today I feel kind of sick. I've been very congested, tired, and had a lot of headaches lately. It was a pretty good day though. I played my test game a bit and had a super fun time watching a live thing in the morning. I often watch a live thing Friday mornings, but they don't always play stuff, and this time was super fun and different. I guess the day could have been a lot better in some ways, but this was pretty good as far as days go.
Day 6451 - 2/28 - Asshat day
Today there were some asshats in my test game. I think that pretty much was my deciding factor on if the game is for me or not. I always expect a PvP focused game to have toxic people, but I haven't even played like 10 hours before this happened. Also I really didn't make much progress. I played for 3 hours, had a few bad groups that ruined my day, and a couple of good ones too, sure, but I really saw no lore or interesting story bits, which would be why I'd be playing.
I had a pretty massive headache too. I need to pay better attention to that. Lately I've had a lot of headaches and congestion and since it's so common for me if I don't immediately set pills out in the morning I'll just forget to take them all day.
I guess other than those bad things the day was ok. Food was ok, and I started watching a new season of a show I haven't watched in a while. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
Day 6452 - 3/1 - Changing day
Today has some changes. It's the last day of the test game I've played. I'm pretty sure I won't get it at launch in a few days, but I may give it a final try today before fully deciding. My MMO that I play pretty much a bit every day is changing the daily and weekly rewards to no longer be daily or weekly. In the future it will just be progress based, so you can do it at your own pace, which is good. But that change won't be for a month, so it will be in a strange limbo place for a month while it makes the shift.
I'm pretty tired and still don't feel real great. I'm definitely some kind of sick, but hopefully it will be a restful and ok day.
Day 6453 - 3/2 - Back to regular
Today will probably be back to regular for my games and doing school stuff. It will likely be an unspecial day in any way, but hopefully it can be calm and restful.
Day 6454 - 3/3 - Probably regular Tuesday
Today will probably be a regular Tuesday. There is nothing special or unusual that I expect to happen. Hopefully things can be restful and calm and I can recover more from my cold.
