Day of Somewhat Less FREAKING COLD
Jan. 7th, 2018 11:24 pmStill stayed in all day (partially because Mom has a cold and I was sniffly this morning), but the worst of the windchill has passed, and this week is supposed to be all about the warm-up. We might even scrape 50F by the end of the week! Wouldn't that be nice? January and February are always tough months for me -- it's when the short days and generally poor weather start really getting to me; coupled with having to go back to five day work-weeks generally being the norm after a lot of holiday time off -- so having even just a touch of warmer weather might help my mood.
Sunday can basically be summed up like so:
-->Helping Mom make a lasagna for dinner (multiple dinners, in fact -- we have a bunch of extra servings tucked away in the fridge now
-->Writing some more on "Secundus 2" (introduced William's wife, had her freak out a bit over Alice being on her feet while pregnant -- Alice responds fairly politely that she's not made out of glass, thank you, which leads to a bit of a dark turn in the conversation about women dying in childbirth -- I ended the page on Marty asking if we could lighten up a bit)
-->Watching more of Deligracy's "Vampires" LP (her Sims refuse to cooperate with her intended storyline -- occasionally her lack of knowledge of how parts of the game work are a bit frustrating, but it's still interesting enough for me to see to the end of the playlist)
-->Playing BioShock 2 (after multiple saves and reloads, finally killed my second Big Daddy and adopted my second Little Sister. Proceeded to use up ten tons of Trap Rivets and machine gun ammo while we went around and Gathered. Also got me the shotgun, which was followed by a MASSIVE amount of Splicers jumping me! Managed to kill them all, but I don't like how fast I go through health kits. Nor that I can only carry five of them. Buuuuullcraaaaap. On the plus side, I have scored myself another Plasmid Slot and Gene Tonic Slot, which I have filled with Cyclone Trap and Eve Saver respectively. Hoping for some fun times blasting Splicers up into the air on future Gathering trips. :D
-->Watching Helloween's The Evil Within 2 set (Helloween sidequests with the creepy ice ghosts, and fails multiple times to avoid her and not get soul-sucked; then gets smug when the boss of the stage is EXACTLY who he predicted it would be and is hilariously easy for him to handle) and Donkey Kong Country 2 set (90s platformer gives man still recovering from cold major trouble; film and laughs at eleven)
-->Doing the Valice Multiverse queue (which was very empty until the last minute, when three replies from one of my major partners popped up) and emptying my inbox
And yeah, that's basically it. I'm not much of a doer in cold weather, unless it involves YouTube of writing. *shrug* Ah, the pleasures of winter. . .
Anyway. With my to-do list done, it's time to head to bed. Got a full week of work ahead. And then a three-day weekend after it. XD Still, gotta cherish them while I can. . .it'll be soon enough that I won't have a lot of holiday time off. Meh. Night all!
