A Day Almost Without Rain
May. 7th, 2019 10:49 pmI say that because we DID end up getting a shower. . .between 8 and 9 at night, so I'll take that. :D Got out for both a walk at lunch AND a walk after work, it was so nice! :D I love being able to go around and get some freaking fresh air, let me tell you. Slowly but surely getting my running feet back under me too. Too bad we're supposed to get more cool weather and rain at the end of the week. . .at least Saturday doesn't look like a washout. Fingers crossed!
Work wasn't too bad, although there was another thing going on with our online giving site. I swear, most calls are pretty easy -- just "call them and they can help you with this" -- and then you get this weird oddball stuff. . . It all SEEMS to be resolved now, but still. *deep sigh* Also one of my coworkers is going on vacation after today, so it's just gonna be two of us up front for a while. Fortunately the one staying is the one who also knows how to process stuff, so that helps, but still. Hoping we aren't whacked too bad with any problems while our third is away!
Evening's been pretty nice too:
-->Got another good chunk done on "Secundus 2" -- poor Victor's ended up the victim of horse manure on the street this time. XD Fortunately I've also chosen to bring in the cleaning solution teenage Doc makes in BTTF: The Game, so his shoes and pants shall be spared. Almost up to the next chapter and the introduction of the extended McFly clan!
-->Watched some old silly commercials featuring early Muppets (mostly for Wilkins Coffee, but Jim Henson wasn't against repurposing a joke for another brand); The Sim Supply do a CAS challenge where he rolled up a random aspiration, random traits, and a random career from a list picked by Twitter, then had to design a Sim around them (he got an aspiring Mansion Baron who was a Genius, a Slob, and Self-Absorbed, and was in the Social Media career -- he created a purple-haired young lady named Tabitha and dressed her -- pretty well, actually. He's been improving slowly but surely in this area of the game!); and Helloween's latest set of Dead Space 2's replay (wrecked a boss monster with his javelin skills, talked about how Ellie is totally awesome -- and she is, too -- repaired an elevator, got trapped in said elevator with a necromorph party body after they started attacking him, and then died multiple times to explosive tripwires in a restricted area formerly staffed by a Lovecraft shoutout). Good times all around! :)
-->Got my Victor Luvs Alice and Valice Multiverse queues sorted -- the latter fortunately was just "move pre-drafted asks from drafts to queue," but the former. . .I either have to take fewer pictures of my Sims or remember to get working on these updates EARLIER. Four posts, each with ten pictures needing captions and a few paragraphs of text on the bottom, are no joke. Ah well, at least all of you get to see cute Van Dort family stuff and Victor winning a Starlight Accolade tomorrow (if you follow my tumblr, anyway).
Okay, and now I have to clear out the comments in my inbox, and go to bed and argh what is time *sigh* I swear, if I had just a few extra hours in the day. . . Night all!
