Welp, That's Not Good
Jan. 5th, 2020 11:08 pmReferring to what I just heard a few minutes ago -- my Dad vomiting rather a lot into our toilet. O.o I'm not sure if something he ate disagreed with him, or if he's genuinely sick -- Mom and I aren't feeling pukey, so. . . (Well, okay, my stomach is feeling slightly unsettled, but I believe that's from hearing someone else throw up, as I was feeling fine before I overhead Dad. I don't have any real feeling like I need to vomit.) I guess we'll find out in the morning, based on how he feels. . . I'm hoping it's just "he ate something that disagreed with him." If he's sick, it's almost certain Mom and I will get it, and while I have the sick time to take off work. . .well, who wants to be puking? Ooof. . .
The rest of the day fortunately has been pretty good, if on the low-key side:
-->Spent most of it just fucking around on the web, as I do (TV Tropes and the like)
-->Got my jewelry-holding hands set up on the corner of my desk (I got another look at the box, and yes, it's explicitly to hold jewelry! All my necklaces are hanging from the fingers now, and I've got my few bracelets on the thumbs and palm. I did take pictures, but they're still on my iPad and it's a bit late to transfer them -- I'll remind myself to get on that tomorrow!)
-->Watched CallMeKevin's 2019 rewind (a compilation of favorite clips from his videos in 2019; YouTube kept recommending it to me, and I figured, what the hey, I like Kevin -- fun times, especially with Jim Pickens XD)
-->Also watched his latest Sims 4 episode (Jim has had his baby, Aaaaaaaaaaaah -- yes, that is literally what Kevin named the boy. XD Jim's baby mama also had her kid -- and I learned in this episode the girl he got pregnant was Angela Pleasant! And now he's started on impregnating Lilith Pleasant, and has them both living with him. XD Also he got suspended from Uni for cheating during his Villainy course (which feels a touch unfair), and he's gathering roommates by the dozen because apparently the game counts those bushes you can pee, sleep, and woohoo in as beds XD)
-->Checked out Plumbella's latest update on her save file (looking good -- I like her builds in Glimmerbrook and Britechester! And I still like that she put old Strangetown peeps into the StrangerVille world. XD If I do end up grabbing someone else's save file to do a new game in, it'll be hers)
-->Watched the second episode of RedPlumbob's University comparison between Sims 2, Sims 3, and Sims 4 (focusing this time on school organizations! Sims 4 seems to have the best variety, and the most to do with them (given you can level up), but I do kind of miss the silliness of the Greek Houses from Sims 2 -- and having Jerk, Nerd, and Rebel social groups in Sims 3 looked kind of fun too. Some sort of combination of the three seems like the ideal for any potential Sims 5)
-->Also played my own Sims 4 game (though I didn't end up playing the Liddell-Van Dorts, as I was worried my tendency to take FIFTY MILLION pictures of my OTP and their family would take too long before supper. Instead I went into Wonderland Park and edited it a bit -- replaced broken dollhouses, updated the bathrooms a little, added some new activities (replacing the jungle gym with swings, for instance, and adding some new table games and refreshment trays), and throwing in some of my A:MR custom content (namely the twirling tea table and the Rabbit doll statue I have). Still took more time than I anticipated, but hey -- now I have an excuse to visit the place again once the weather clears up in my game)
-->Worked some more on "Secundus 2" (Chapter 3 is proceeding nicely, with Gordon being absolutely baffled that Victor seems to be okay and filling us in on how things went down in Burtonsville while Victor was in Secundus. Coming up on Victor having enough of the guy's bullshit and indulging in some Touched showing-off, hehe~)
-->Got some of my pictures for the upcoming Newcrest Adventures update sorted, w000 -- will do the rest of those tomorrow and make sure my queue is updated appropriately
And now I just have to answer the comments in my inbox and head to bed -- work tomorrow! Unless I wake up really really sick! In which case I won't be doing much of anything. *sigh* Not an auspicious start to 2020, I gotta say. Keep your fingers crossed, folks -- night all!
