Quick recap of the last two weeks because I kept meaning to post and then things would invariably happen:
Part of this is the usual "oh no I'm X years old and I haven't done [milestone of adult life that society expects of me] yet!!!" anxiety, yes. But knowing what it is doesn't mean knowing what to do about it!
- Took Monday/Tuesday last week (May 1-2) off work because I had spent half of my Easter long weekend with migraines and I felt like I had to make up for it. Activities included finishing my sense8 rewatch, drawing, and Horizon Zero Dawn (I should write something more fully about that), though I did venture out to the mall to buy new work clothes. It's unseasonably warm here (which means we actually have a lot of wildfires happening?!) and I'm not mentally prepared for it to be summer yet, so shopping helped a little.
- Unfortunately, I managed to also pick up some kind of... cold, or sinus infection, or something somewhere, (congestion, runny nose, general head-full-of-snot feeling) which came on Tuesday afternoon and got steadily worse throughout the day. I will fully admit that I should NOT have gone to work in that state on Wednesday BUT in my defence: I thought it may have been allergies, I wore a mask all day, and also I'm still getting used to the whole "nobody will think you're lazy for taking sick time" situation I'm finding myself in. Worked from home the rest of the week and should be okay to go back tomorrow, hopefully.
- Been absolutely sucked into Disco Elysium since starting it on Thursday evening. Like, staying-up-till-2-am kind of sucked in, I genuinely didn't think I would like this game as much as I did.... (no spoilers plz, I'm not done yet!!!) Expect more posts/squee on this in the future
- Tabletop the last two Saturdays, which went pretty well! Ongoing Pathfinder campaign last week, and Starfinder's "Save The Renkrodas" scenario before that. There's a very bi-flag dinosaur! You can make friends with it! We drove a car over the bad guy's face! Also now I need to level up my Safety Inspector (putting this here so I don't forget but I probably will and have to panic level as usual)
