Making It Through A Day With My Period

crossover_chickFortunately it was not a particularly busy day -- I spent most of it either looking up things for people or catching up on the simpler exceptions. Supervisor wants to talk about the ones remaining tomorrow to try and get them off our plate, which I am fine with. The trickier ones are stuff like "person didn't put enough information on their card to have their pledge processed" or "person wrote this note that probably a supervisor should look at" anyway. And I want these things off my plate too -- some of them have been sitting around for a while, and I want them completed and filed so I can move onto other stuff already! Always something. . .
Anyway, made it through work (even went ahead and drank a bottle of water from the fridge, because my damn period, and possibly a lot of time in the AC, has made me quite thirsty), and came home to:
-->Do a workout video -- skipped yesterday because, well, had a bad day and just got my period. But I don't want too get too far out of practice. And there was no beanbag game today (too sticky, plus it actually rained here so everything was wet), so I could do a slightly longer one! Now my leg's a little achey, but. . .shall survive!
-->Write some more on "Londerland Bloodlines" -- Alice got ammo and a duffel bag from Trip, and is now meeting with -- well, she was hoping Therese would be up in the office, but instead she's got Jeannette. And now she gets to try and keep Jeannette from taking her stuff because Cheshire says it's a bad idea to leave it with her. (And it is -- I already know Jeannette will chuck the pendant in the ocean if you give it to her!) At least now I get to use her weird persuasiveness! And get going on those other side quests she's got going on. . .
-->Watch a bunch of Call Me Kevin!
A) Little Big Planet 3 – Kevin goes through the very beginning of the game (attempting to incinerate himself multiple times and making lots of jokes about the "pumpinator") and then plays a few community levels (including a superhero RPG, and a Mario level that is – well, it's basically classic Super Mario Bros! Looks the same and everything! It's pretty wild). Simple, but amusing, especially with his attempts NOT to swear. XD
B) Hardspace: Shipbreaker – Kevin is sponsored by the game's creators themselves to go in and have a look around! He promptly started blowing up all the things. XD Without even really TRYING to, even – he just went around cutting up the ships he was supposed to salvage to help clear his debt (which was basically a trillion dollars) and kept cutting up things like a highly pressurized airlock, or a nuclear reactor pod. XD Kevin described the game as "quite relaxing," but I think for his player character, it was anything but!
C) A series of absolute terrible mobile "Dad games" – the first one, Virtual Single Dad Simulator, didn't even let Kevin get past level 2! And also couldn't spell "Daddy" right, sooooo. . . Most of them were either in the "didn't work" category or "works but you kind of wish they didn't" category, honestly, including one that didn't fully load in all its assets, and then just shut itself off right after the first level. Best name definitely goes to Virtual Billionaire Businessman Mom Life Simulator, though. XD Which, as you might guess from the name, is actually about a MOM buying up most of a city with her billions. (She's even called "capitalist Mam" in game! XD Mostly because they can't spell, punctuate, or use grammar worth a damn.)
D) More Family Man! The last one, in fact – Kevin has finally completed the game! Naturally, he got a rather, uh, dark ending. XD But hey, what do you expect when you're complicit in at least five murders, and then allow yourself to get tricked into operating on some unfortunate woman because her rival influencer wanted to screw her up and make her into a monster? . . .Do you expect some weird afterlife simulator where "Delroy" makes you punish those citizens who apparently DIDN'T succeed in turning you into a worse person, before finding your dead husband in a coffin and getting locked in a burning room with him, forcing your kid to live on the street? Because I didn't. O.o And according to the comments, that's the second worst ending. What the heck is the worst?! I refuse to believe it's "take Bruce's place," that sounds like something that would actually happen in reality.
-->Catch up on tumblr tags and get a little more of my Victor Luvs Alice queue done! Up through Friday. . .and I know what I want to do for Saturday, it's just I'm undecided on the first post. . .
So yeah, pretty productive evening -- which is not bad when I'm working against my own body. Ugh, I hate my period, seriously. Even now I'm just feeling kinda "blah." Hopefully by tomorrow I'll be past the worst of it and start feeling myself again. . .at least I'm one day closer to the weekend! A weekend where I have to clean my room, but -- meh. What can one do.
Anyway -- gotta answer the stuff in the inbox, then hit the sheets. Two more days to get through! Hopefully neither of them try to drag me like Tuesday did. *sigh* Night all!
