Bits and bobs from the last week:
- Writing continues apace. Found a project that’s relaxing to work on, which is nice, and put in a few thousand words on it. Now I just need to figure out what length the intial draft is trying to be.
- Started the job hunt up proper again. Applied to around 10 new positions, I think. Hoping I get some call-backs/interest next week.
- Many accidental naps were taken.
- Started playing Stardew Valley again, as a bit of a break from Fallout 4. It’s working great for that, and I’m finally starting to get the hang of some of the gameplay loops. (Winter, the season my game is currently in, was especially good for that, as I could do a ton of mining and start building up some monetary and construction resources.)
- Was generally kind of disorganized as far as getting stuff done.
- Had a reasonably promising date. We’ll see where it goes, but it was nice.
- Saw a friend who I don’t get to see in person that often. Talked about politics in a relatively non-stressful way. It was like the opposite of the Internet!
- Entertained the idea of throwing my phone into the ocean, again.
- More seriously, found out that the 2G network coverage in my apartment is actually fine, so if I want to get a dumbphone to use sometimes that is actually practical!
- Downloaded Elder Scrolls: Legends on my phone. (It’s the card game based on the series.) From the first, like, five minutes, it’s actually pretty good, and has so impressive production values. I’ll have to give it more time sometime soon.
- Was bummed that my little clip-on MP3 player seems to be MIA. Not too expensive to replace, thankfully, if it doesn’t show up. I really like having it so I can use my phone for fewer things, though.
- Got really salty at pretty much every social media site I use. Some of it’s on me for being a grumpy gus, for sure. Still, I think I might need to take an actual break from all of it sometime soon.
- Avoided doing editing/re-writing work The Shivering Deeps because I am intimidated, y’all. It might be so much work aaaaaaah. (I need to rework the first section before I hand it over to my beta reader.) Hopefully i will sleep better and have more brain this week, and can start powering through.
- Lifted heavy things for STR+
How about you all? How’d your last week go?
