Summer slowly ticking away...

And honestly, I am not sure that I really have to write about at this moment but I am going to try and put fingers to keys and see what the hell comes out.

But sitting in the land of temp unemplyment there isn't really a lot happening in within my life other then slowly working in some of the projects and such that I give my self. Thought at this time there aren't even really a lot of those that I need to work in because not much is happening as a whole. At some point within the next month I need to get together with my mother so that we can do a trip or meet up kind of thing once again. Mom is thinking bingo and that is something that I can do thought I need to check in days when she will be free and I will also not be doing stuff. The joy of trying to plan things and also being the driver for the sibling is that I have to keep track of my and there shit at the same time. Other wise, not much happening thought this has reminded me that I do need to call a docture to make sure I can plan another thing in the future. As for goals, well I have finished one video game that I didn't buy in thanks to the family sharing in stream. Books are still so far behind that I need to really set myself to them. Thought a lot of the time for them has been taken up by listening to recording of table top rpg games, thought I think I am about half way thought season 3 of the show I am trying to catch up in and there are only four seasons so I am slowly getting there. Thought I do need to see how long this season is, it may be shorter then I think and there for I would be a lot closer to being wrapped up then. Typings, well I am here and I think i have one more backlog post that I still need to make up, but this goal I am doing better with as a whole. I am also still trying to keep up with doing more exercise within my day. I should try and keep a more real record of that to help shame myself into doing it more often but I also fear that doing so will make me even less likly to do it. So even if I am only using the inside bike for about 7 mins every hour, its better then me just sitting in my ass the whole day and I am trying to be better about the food choices. The best thing about summer really is that I no longer have unlimited access to soda and that does really help as a whole. That is a lot less suger and other shit that I would have to burn off, now if only work would let me keep a water bottle or something in a place so I would be less temped to just grab a drink. Well, I have rambled and talked a good bit, so I am going to try and call this place while I have the spoons and the attention towards it before it slips my mind and its to late for an office to be open.

[novaknightwritings]

Well shit, forgot to make up a post last month so I am one behind...

So as I am pretty sure I talked about last time summer brake has fully hit and I have free time once again.

Thought I have been really, really bad at working towards getting some of the summer goals finished. I haven't even started any of the books that I need to read, and as I said I am already one post behind in writing thought that is also kind of harder to come up with topics at this time of the year because I am not at work and not dealing with people as much as I do while empolyed. It is a blessed and sweet brake for things, thought it does tend to make me get a little more annoyed by the BF. Because while I love him, there is only so much I can leason to "Oh there is so much things I need to do around the house" and feel bad when he is also sitting at the computer for 2 and half hours and not doing any of it. Like yes, I get it that this shit sucks but I did time you and it took you about a half an hour to finish one of the chores you said it was going to be to late to do and was stopping you for starting another one. I get it, no one wants to start doing chores right away once your get out of work even if its a work for home day, but waiting until I get back home with dinner (subs) when I told you that I had to pick up someone and also help them with shopping, something that drive time alone with going to be an hour, should have given you enought time to get the smaller chore done in case you wanted to do the larger one. Yes, I know spoons suck, but I also don't want to hear it when you also say that I don't do it right or that you will get to it when I know in the good weather days that your not going to. Sigh... I get it, you like the way you do it and that is fine but you got to get the energy to deal with it or have to deal with the fact that I may start doing it just to get it finished.

But, in hopefully good news, I am also trying to get myself to start working out a bit more, and trying to force myself to make this into a habit, as using the exericise bike within the house wasn't really working for me. I think the just riding in the same place with no stimulation was what was fucking with my brain. Podcast and such are helpful, and being used in the walks, but without something to focus in i was having a hard time of it. Also, after a good deal of debate with my selfs, I figured that while I love Balder Gate 3 for what it is, its a little to open game like for me (Or I just kind of lost the plot because I haven't played this things in months) and that its making me have issues getting my attention back into it. So while its still in my computer, I am going to try playing one of the newer star wars games and see if that is going to hook me with game play. Thought I was able to finish Powerwasher this month so I did get a little bit more done playing games in general... And honestly, I think this is enough rambling for now. I am going to post this shit and try and finish watching one of the many ttrp that I gotten myself hooked in this summer.

[novaknightwritings]

And the shit falls down once again...

So after a bit of time, aka about two months, most of the RP games that I was in have fallen to the side once again.

I would like to say that this is shocking but honestly it isn't, this has been the system and such so I am not shocked, just as always dispointed. Once again Head ST that just wanted to be players instead of ST and don't have the time or energy to really put shit into the game are getting shocked that the player base tend to vanish when there is nothing going in. So players are dropping and reason to play and interact with people don't really exist within the game. A shame because I like the character ideas that I have made or prepaired but without a game they are going to have to be sheilfed once again. Sure, I could find other games and I could try and play them again but also just getting tired of trying to play games and having them fail once again. thought thankfully some people that I used to play have reached out so that I can hang with them in discord again. Going to try and be playing Bloodbowl 2 with them at times to see how well this works, and was able to pick it up for super cheap due to a Warhammer Sale in steam. Otherwise in life I am kind of getting my self ready for LARP this weekend, trying to slowly chip away at house work and media that I need to finial as a whole, and trying tnot fall into more table top podcast because I gotten into a Warhammer one hard, and the fan arts are so damn good for it that its great and horrable. But for now I am going to sign off, hope that my internet don't want to be a bitch while I get the games set up and maybe get some stuff done in MMO or listen to some of the books that I still am so very very far behind on.

[novaknightwritings]

I do in fact have books, so many books...

So I have a few moments before I have to go to work but I am trying to sit down and write out something fast so that I do have two post in per month.

So last night I talked about how I really really needed to catch up in my reading list things for my yearly goal. And so this morning after doing a bit of cleaning up in my very limited space I looked around for what I had. And with great joy I can say that I do in fact have some of the books that I wasn't sure of if I keeped or donated. Thankfully most of the books look like they are about 150 pages each, as they are ment for younger readers so in theory if I can get my ass to sit down at some point where I have time and not about 10 mins before I need to run out of the door to not be late at work, I should be able to read them and catch up in my reading list. its a bit of a cheap way to do it but they have been in the list for a reread for a long ass time and it does make me few a bit better that I am not using Manga to catch up with the reading list. I know that I still have some much longer books that are in the reading list but that isn't going to help with trying to power thought things unless I try and balance some of them with the shorters books.

Because honestly, its not that I don't read, the issue is that most of my reading now a days is fanfiction or other fan works. And while they are very good, there isn't really a good way to keep and track them into something like a book reading list. But now I only have a few moments for me to get ready for work before I have to run out of the door so I am going to post this shit and get going. I will see people later, as we are in the finial digit of work days. Soon.... Soon it will be over.

[novaknightwritings]

Me post? Some time this month, well it seems like I am going to fucking try...

So, I am in the odd place to post but lets try and remember where the hell my brain was at the last time that I posted and see where we are now...

Ok so back reading my last post, you know that last link in the chain of RP servers that I was talking about in March.. Well its kind of a game, and by kind of I mean we got into maybe a week and half before the player that it was made for said fuck it and we changed it for a vampire into a werewolf game. Partly at least, see people are starting to make characters but because they aren't locking in what they want I am having a very very hard time of approving them so the werewolf game is kind of paused until they know that the hell they want to play or my hours change to such a way that I can lurk in Voice Chat with them to get them to fucking finish them. Thought honestly I am kind of happy that its taking them some time to get there own shit together because they are being slow as fuck to post in the other RP server that I am in and while I am happy that they have the energy for the new one, I would also like them to post in the older servers. For real, I would like to do shit in some of the other games that I am in with them but that is really hard when they control all of the NPC and can't be assed to finish some of the very important events that effect us. Other wise, well lets be honest a fuck, I haven't gotten shit done in video games because the Discords games have been taking up a lot of my time and when I am not doing that I am trying to keep up with the weekly shit for WoW, thought we are also getting to the point that unless I start working in alts that should also be slowing down. And the best joyful news is this, because I work a job where I get the summers off, and because of how this year is layed out, I have one more week of employment before summer brake. So then I may be able to really sit down and have a few days where I don't have my boyfriend also in the house to get shit down and not have to worry about sound levels or keeping people up if I am playing at odd times. Book reading has also been pretty damn bad, to the point where I don't really want to log into Goodreads because I know I am about 3 to 4 books behind. I have plans in how I am going to fix this, as I have manga and some of the shorter teenish books that I have been meaning to read and I think are still in my book shevel. I have to check in the vampire ones as I may have already donated them to get them out of here but the manga is here for sure. But I think I have rambled in enought for today, maybe I will come up with some shit to post about tomorrow night or tomorrow morning so my post will at least be up to date for this month... There is after all a new fandom rabbit hole that I am falling down... ^-^

[novaknightwritings]

Hey bitches, guess the fuck what?

So, you know how about four days ago I finially got off my ass and write a post about the shit that was happening in the vampire RP game that I am in... Well shit got Tea like really damn fast and while I love the staff of the game I just have to fucking bitch about it somewhere!

So yea, you know how I was talking about how people hate quit games or just go "Well fuck you I am going to make my own". Well it appears like it is happening once again. See, the very smart ST of the game did some really really horrable shit to a players character (with that players characters concent, they aren't that evil) to pretty much mentally brake the character really good. This issue, however, is that the character (A) was married to another player character (B) and that person didn't seem to concent to the whole relationship being fucked up. So after B goes thought a very hard time thinking that A betrayed and fucked off to the other side, A gets brought back and the a very limited amount of what was done to A is told to people. But B still sees it as a major betrayal and that "They wanted it" because the people that did the scene posted it in a public place with all the proper tags. The issue, is that while the players of A and B where talking, player of B let it slip that yes, they read the scene and using that information that they where not there for, came to the view that A was far more willing then they where and that if the character of A wanted to stay around they would have to make up with B in some way. Totally ignoring the fact that when B found out about some of the really bad shit that was done to A, then flipped the fuck out and had a rage flip out in A room in front of the character like they had any contorl over it. Threationing to leave the faction and wake up a great evil that within the game would start the end of the world. And then is shocked that in the next scene that happens after this blow up, that character A don't want to be in the same location as B and then going "A running away isn't going to solve the issue, A needs to make up with B and get there trust again if things are to run smoothly."

Then lets it slip to the me and that player that they are Metagaming this shit. Player A then gets upset and sents the message to the ST running the scene saying, "I was told this and so and so was also there if you need to ask question in case you want to know what is going in." Well ok, that player is far more likly to send paniced DM then calm ones but I was just in voice chat with them so I don't know all the details. I then get the ST sliding into my DM's going "WTF happened, I was watching a movie with my other when I get the DM" to which I give the summery of the above. And now, I got that ST going "For fuck sake, I just want a game where I don't have to deal with this drama or people asking so many question about all of the shit that I want to run (This is a whole another rant that I may get into later because its a fucking mess). Fuck it I am going to make another server because this one I am in is stressing me the fuck out and no one is reply in the last server we where all in (The game that invited me to this new game)." So yea, I am sitting a very new and empty server that may or may not be the next link in the chain of RP discord servers that has started up because fuck that other place.... And that means it may be time for once again a new or moved over character creation for another vampire if shit goes full shit up once again...

And people wounder why the hell it is that I don't trust to get very far with characters now a day, for fucking real dudes, its been maybe a week and like 3 days that I been in the server and this shit is already happening. *sigh*

VtM players are odd...

I get that its odd that being a sexual dones odd things but damn I have found that VtM players are some of the honryest people I meet.

And I don't get it all of the time, as the setting vampires use it a a tool more then anything, but they are the most horny in main. I get it, they are all very very pretty but honestly its getting kind of old that in the server most of the shit is getting done in sex scenes.

And like not with normal ass humans, its all sex with other vampires scenes and they don't have a sex drive anymore once they are turned. Sure you can do it for emotional needs but the phyical side of that shit is suppost to be turned off.... Thought like 50% of its all still erp.

I guess its one of the things that I will just never fully get and that is kind of a pain in the ass when I also do like playing in the settings.

Otherwise, not much really has been happening in RP land. Games that I used to be have kind of slowed to a crawl because "ST don't have time to run them anymore" when they never really ever had time to run them. Hell the vampire game that I am in now seems like it was an off shot of the last vampire game I was in (I saw this because the CC rules are all about the same and in the same format as the last game) and even has the old ST in the staff of the new game.

So, if I remember this clain of games correctly, it was Pitts Garou, Coes Supermix game, Sabbat off shout of Supergame in Mexico, Mexico Changing breed game reset of Sabbat, Chicago sabbit, and now Niagara Falls mixed VtM. And some how, thought all of these off shoots, I haven't been able to play a character in a game for more then about three months before attention get stolen or IRL bitch slaps someone once again.

I am just kind of hoping that I can in fact do stuff this time because while I am happy to make new characters, its hard as hell do keep coming up with new ideas when I got like the 4 half done characters that only gotten a few months of play at the most that I can just keep reusing.

Sure, its not something that I like to do. I really try to do new characters in every game because its a good way to try out more stuff and learn more about the game, but trying to get a good handle in them with so little time to learn is a pain in the ass.

Can one of these games run at least for long enought that I can figure out what all of there damn powers do or what odd ass rules that everyone is using so I am not getting my ass kicked. Because also, the rules that the ST are running are also so very damn different for the TT that its kind of a pain in the ass to know what I should be doing with all of my shit at times.

But that is a different rant, because I get I am not always going to agree at everything at the table but I kind of wish some of this shit was writen down some where...

[novaknightwritings]

I am sitting here trying to figure out what I have to rant or write about...

As tomorrow (or today due to time zones) is the last day of the month of Feb and I need to make another writing post if I want to keep up with things.

So I guess it is an update in what been happening with the yearly challanges as I need a random ass topic... So far I am doing ok with the video game one, as I haven't boughten any games so far in the year but also haven't finished any really. So like all things it is balanced. As I am getting this post out tonight/morning I will also be fully up to date with the writing side of things for the year. I have been able to be some what good and get two post per month so far so that is a step in the right direction... I just have been very very very bad about making my self listen to the audio books that I have and really haven't gotten anything read to keep up with the book list. Sure I could cheat like hell and read some of the manga that I have around that does kind of count as a book as per good reads. Thought honestly its more that I have to be good at work and can't listen to things and then I do have the time to listen its when I am playing video games and that isn't a good time to try and listen to books. I should try and force myself to sit down for like a half an hour or so a day just to get though the books that I do already have download in the phone. Thought I also have been very behind in listening to the podcast that I follow for the same reason. I don't know why but it seems like I am just being smooth brained a lot. Or just shit isn't holding my attention for shit as of late.

But other wise life been ok, we in that odd time of the year where winter sucks but we are getting closer to the end of it so people are just trying to hold in shit until it gets warm. And I am curing out all of the snow banks around the town because they aren't melting fast enought and it is still a pain in the ass to drive around them. And just in general hoping that March will be kind but also not expecting it to be. Now, I need to figure out if I want to try and get some shit done in World of Warcraft, or go to bed and try and level up more in the morning...

[novaknightwritings]

Fuck this winter, let it just be over already would it.

So, I guess this is part two of the rant that got posted last time, and me trying to remember that I need to post here two time this month.

So update in the joy of the storm, the water pipe to the sink had frozen partly over and a lot of bitching in the boyfriends part we figured out that it was just that sink and ordered a new one. Now like a lot of thing that get bought in the middle of winter and needed to be mailed to people, that shit took time and was late. So we have about two weeks of waiting for the damn thing to get into the house so that the sink could be replaced. The following week is then the mission of my BF to try and figure out how to get the old sink out and having the energy to do so (while temperuary turing off the water to that area, we aren't stupid). After about a week of bitching that he can't find the last thing that is holding it in he calls for help and is able to get the new sink in. We do a paper towel test to make sure shit isn't leaking and yay it works.... But the water flow to the sink is all fucked up, and when it gets a bit flushed there is a ton of stuff in the pipes. Seems when we closed it down everything that was within it settled and then clogged shit. And the best guess is when the sink was turned in it all got pulled into the sink and is making the water flow suck. So now the plan is that at some point he is going to take out the newer sink, put in another one (we did get two sinks because he went to the store to talk to them about what was takening so long and the store people just gave him one that they had in the building... and then the same day it showed up in the deck... so two sinks?) and hope to god that this fixes shit. And the "best" part, because the sink been fucked up there has pretty much been no cooking for the last month. because washing the dishes is a pain in the ass, so because of this we really haven't done a full grocery shop in about a month. And now BF is like, hey way are we low in all of these things that I said I was going to pick up a few days ago... Like I get it, shopping after work or doing task around work suck and takes so many damn spoons. But like, please for the love of all things holy, if you say your going to go shopping and will be picking up the TP, go shopping and pick it up. I hate when I have to go into town before work to do trash, and take the sibling to appointments or so much other stuff but the shit got to get done and in winter its got to get done with the weather is going to allow you to get out and deal with this shit. ... and honestly, I am just happy that I refilled the salt container within the house one (or is it two because it after midnight as I type this) nights ago. We gotten our selfs in another fun, melt and refreze pathen of weather and what we had within the house was all used up in thursday... Love him, wish his ass would also pay more attention to the world some times when we have to interact with it, because as much as I love to be a bear in the woods that can just sleep past the winter. Well that saddly isn't an option.... And fuck this winter and fuck ice.

Winter and Snow Prep....

This is honestly like 110% rant and needing to get some shit off of my chest...

I love my boyfriend but I swear to god there are times where I just want to shake him and get some common ass sense in his head. Like half of america for the last week we where also a part of the area that was going to be hit by the big snow storm and the very low tempatures. (right now its 15F, with a feels like 7F). And I and everyone in the internet knows the jokes about what happens when a big storm is said to be coming, rushes to the store to stock up in things and people acting like they aren't going to be able to get for a week, blah, blah, blah, everyone buying all the very easy parishable foods like milk, bread, egg, ect... But most of the rant for me comes from the fact that the storm was rolled in on Sunday, the one day of the week where the fam does the weekly food run. So I point out that "Hey, we should go and get some stuff in Friday or Saturday before shit gets bad." Because we shop week to week and don't have a lot of extra in the house in case and because I work late nights both of those evenings, so if we want to shop together we need to do it in the morning of Saturday. Or at least not a lot of easy shit that don't take a lot of prep or water. Well, I get home in friday and boyfriend is already in bed resting for the night and I don't want to bug him. And then appearently because the heat wasn't put up high one of the pipes partly freezes over night. So because of worry about the pipes all of Saturday is spend in the home in the hopes of melting the partal block, thought I am prety sure the pipe isn't in a place we can easily get to. Thankfully, he did order at least one night of take out worth of food so there "would be something for Sunday dinner". And now its Monday, pipe is still having issues, as we can get a small stream of water going but much. 10 inches of snow that is slowly getting removed from the drive way. (thanks so much to the neighber that snow blowed out the part by the road, even if that bug BF, I will take small ass blessing where I can get them) Because today, we are going to try and get down to the store so we have food, and tomorrow at noon I need to get to work so snow removal while we have day light is good. And I am hoping that while we are at the store I can grab some of the pain meds that BF needs for his headace. Its just, so much of this would have been easiler if we didn't have this whole, "OH but we can wait to go grocery shopping, if we go in Friday all of the things that I will need at the end of the week will be bad." While my ass is in my area with some of the snacks that I grabbed in thursday because I some how know this shit was going to happen... well not the water issues but I did grab stuff that don't require water just incase because my bitch ass has lived in the Northeast US for a while. You plan for the fact that some of this shit may happen and have some back up options just in case.... Now I just have take turns with the digging out process, hoping to god there is even stuff in the shelfs at the store that we need and so many other fun things. This, this is why I love canned soup people...

I saw the oddest things at Walmart today....

So, I had to go to walmart today to kill some time as I had driven into town a bit to earily for something.

Honestly, it was that I needed to pick up new slip resistant shoes for work, but as I was killing time I was talking thought the toy section to kill time and see that pokemon stuff they had. When i saw something I never thought i see in the myster box area. Warrior Cats, now I am old and thought this was a bit odd because Warrior Cats is always one of those things I hear people talking about "Oh we used to play Warrior Cat or Animorphs." So, with that in mind I thought that Warrior Cats was one of those book runs that ended around 2010 ish.... So I was a bit suprized when I saw mystery boxs for what i thought was a 20 year old story, that I thought was ended. (Please ignore that I was also looking for pokemon, a game that also been out for far longer.) Thought i did get to look it up and it seems that Warriors started in 2003 and is still going. Something about there being about 6 books per arch and there being like 8 or 9 arch now... I guess that means that I have a few options for my reading list now if I finished the disworld books or don't pick to do rereads as I always wondered about the world. And all of this because cute cat figuraines or small plushes where in a mystery box at walmart....

11:30 at night and I am getting the last thing I for the year done now.

With my goals for the year I have just been able to slip under the deadline that I have given myself. Yay for just being able to pull shit off.

So, you know how I said I was going to be good about the book, that was a lie, I didn't get any really good progress done in it til yeasterday where I was listening to it for more of the day. The hope was to finish it all in one day and get the 2nd book done today. But then I feel a sleep and had two hours of listening to as well as the other book. Thankfully, comboing that the house mate wasn't here and there for I could just play everything in speacher I was able to power thought the two books and got them finished by 6:30 pm my time here, thankfully also that there was 2.5x speed that made things go a lot faster. Also that the last book as a Romanace one so there really wasn't a lot of plot that I needed to worry about missing. And with that, the readding goals for the year where finished, and now I get to start up the next goals for this coming year... The same goals that I had last year once again. So trying to read 1 book per month, at least one more game finished per video games that I buy (expation packs do count as new games), and the 24 Post per year so that I keep ranting into the void for some reason. Thankfully, I find out about a new lore book coming out for one of my video games so I have already downloaded that. And here is hoping that it keeps my attention better then the last two books, don't get me wrong, they where not bad books but there also wasn't a lot of good hooks into them for me and I think that is part of why at least the book I was listening to yeasterday wasn't really getting me to want to listen to it? Or maybe its that I really didn't much care for the character POV that they where writing from? Its always a little bit hard to tell. But I am going to wish the internet a good night and hopefully the start of a good year, it feels like we all need it!

[novaknightwritings]

hmmm winter brake and still falling behind in shit...

So, last time I posted was before the holidays hit and i was talking about how easy it would be to finish up all the books that I needed to listen too..

And I have been super bad and haven't even started any of them, its now the 28th and I have four days to finish two books. Its still do able but I need to sit my ass down and listen to them tomorrow. other wise honestly not a lot been happening, family had to move the gathering we where suppost to have int he 27th to the day of xmas and mom liked her 2nd gift. I had gotten her a digital photo frame so that she could have as many pictures as she wanted showing. Thought I had started it up before I gave it to her and preloaded some pictures. The Sibling was kind of annyoyed thought because that then ment I had to go thought all of mom's pictures with her to pick out more that she wanted, and because she never removes pictures from her phone we where still going thought pics for the 2019. like I love my mom, but there is no way in all the hells that she been looking thought her pictures that deep in her back log. I get not deleteing something as soon as you take it but still...

This is mostly done because today, or more like Friday, we where suppost to be getting a really big storm and a lot of snow. Thought I haven't stepped outside so I am not really sure how much we got, its still a pain in the ass to drive thought it if it's not needed. And now I gotten this writen and I mostly up to date with the writing, other then the last post of the year where I try and figure out what goals I will be moving forwards with new year. And I am pretty sure its going to be basically the same as this one but maybe I will change my mind last moment.

[novaknightwritings]

Winter Brake is here! Time to work in projects once again!

Well work is once again out of the winter time and there for I am once again got free time without a bf being home. Yay for getting things slowly done in sane time once again.

So from the last time that I wrote we have had thanksgiving with the fam and things have been in general ok, boring life like but ok overall. A lot of the same old same old with RP and such being in pause do to the holidays and the ST needed a brake. The biggest frustration as of late been dealing with the fact that weather is now a limiting factor of when things can or can't get done. As the hill that I live on is a bitch to deal with when there is snow or ice or other things that make it hard to get up it with a small foward drive car. Thankfully, I planned for that and have enought lunch things that should last me at least two weeks, maybe more if there are left overs and such that will work for two meals at a time. Thought today it is thankfully warm enought to melt off some of the snow fall that we have gotten. Todays plan is honestly to try and get the trash and other things that need to taken out during the day time hours done. So they aren't in the house, and that maybe by the car not being in the drive way more of the stuff could melt off. Thought it would have been better if I started some of this sooner or maybe not started the wash that I need to be here for a while to watch. Thought that does also just give me time to gather up all of the trash and other things that need to get out, and for me to see if I have cash or not for taking things out or if I need to hit an ATM in the way. its stupid shit like this but if I get chores done there are less things in general that need to be chipped away at. As for the goals for the year, I have finished at least 12 games, one per month this year so that goal is finished. I am now going to be two post behind in writing, as I had forgotten Nov last one and need to do this months as well. And reading, well I am two books behind but they are picked out and at this point its more of needing to make a note of put my headphone in my phone and just listen to them while I am doing other things around the house. I think its like 16 hours of listening and I have a few days before the end of the year. *Has looked at the calander* 14 days and about 16 hours of listening, that should be do able once I keep reminding myself to do it. Can put that shit in and listen while I play power washer or something chill that don't need sound. Well, I need to be getting trash put together now and seeing that I can do. That way I feel productive, get some shit done and such.

Love the bro, wish they stop making me have to go grocery shopping with them...

So this weeks been pretty busy with real life dropping a emotional nuke in me and the fam.

Saddly last week I had to put my 14 year old cat down do to health issues, as his kidneys where failing and he was at toxic levels. I miss the kitty boy and its hard to adjust to the fact that I don't have a stupid ball of fluff that wants attention or to try and trip me up when ever I walk around the room. So a lot of the tail end of last week was dealing with emotional fall out of that, plus family death happening the week before that was also in the process of being wrapped up. That also means that cash has been a bit tight, as things needed to be payed for that where totally not within the plans of what we execpted to happen. Thankfully we are at least balanced in that, thought it still really sucks. Other then that there really hasn't been a lot happening out then the pain in the ass that having someone out of work until past the new year passes (To be fair, its for a good reason it just sucks because work is already understaffed in a good day) and helping the bro while stuff around town. I just had to kind of scream and vent a little last night because I love them, but also I don't want to have to take them grocery shopping three times withing the last six days. Like I can deal with trips if they are important and sure I can do stuff after work to help out. But having to drive them to the grocery store that many times when they work at one just kind of pisses me off. I get wanting to have a snack after work or stress eatting, its not healty for sure but I get it, but come in.

The day before the vail is thinest and things be the darkest.

Ok so not literally the darkest, that would be in about two months when we hit the offical start of winter, but damn this week has been a ride.

So, this week at least started for me by trying to get out of work and to one of the LARP events that is hold in honor of Halloween. I thankfully was able to make it, see some of the people that I don't get to see a lot and be a little bit social with people that I like while doing so. Sunday and Monday where a lot of the, wrapping up things around the house and trying to get chores done that usually falls within the weekend. With the added bonus of this being the week that my BF has taken off to do house work and other "fun" things. I honestly think that all that was finished in Monday was lundrey, but that is also something that he could have really finished any monday when he is work from home. Tuesday was lawn day, as it was the last cut of the year, never mind that the lawn has been frosted a few times, I don't think he wakes up earily enought to see that but its hard to say some times. Wensday for his was a day trip, and of me was "house work that I don't like to do while other people are around". Got a good deal of stuff done for that, my laundrey, cleaning up my own spaces and a few other odd task that needed doing. And then there was today, Dentist in the morning, shopping after Dentist for replacement items (Most of which where in clearnance so prices where sane, thank god after this month draining $), and then Work. But I got a "lovely" text this afternoon that there was a death in the BF family so rightfully he is away trying to help with that. So right now I am home, working away at other small things and stuff that I can do to try and keep the home working. Got to love when everything hits right in the middle of a holiday, thought thankfully BF had the week off so he at least has a few days without having to talk to work about all of this. That don't even get started in some of the news about stuff that been happening within the town or my moms. And election day being next week, and day lights savings and just all of the joy of the last things of fall hitting all at once. yay....

LARP event over!

Just got home for my larp event, thankfully it was one of the closer ones so the car ride while a pain was only about two and half hours compaired to the normal three and half to about four hours.

Honestly, I don't know to much about what happened at the event its self, as when I got there I went into the kitchen to start my shift of dishes and other task that where needed. Thought within about two hours I had gotten pulled to main one of the desk at the event. As my lord wanted a brake and also had another even that they where committed to running. I kind of wish that I had been given a little bit more inforamation that I would have needed at the begining but by the end I had it pretty figured out. I was also happy that I was able to give away some of the stuff that had been sitting around my house for a bit, I am now two leather patchs lighter, as well as a Tarrot Deck being removed from my place. The Tarrot was suppost to be for one of the elf characters that I was going to play, but I honestly haven't been her for so long that it was just sitting around and collecting stuff. Thought I did come home with a cute cat figure in exchange. Over all I would count it as a de-cluttering success. And in a good way I was also able to finish one of my books while I was driving. So, for monthly goals right now I am good at where I am suppost to be for book and at least at my two post per month now, thought I will need to come up with something to write about next week so that I can catch up fully. The only think that I really need to do is finish a video game this month, and I may push to finish the Pokemon Red Rom in my PC, or if not one of the text based games that I have in steam. Otherwise, I am pushing to finish assassin creed, overwatch 2, marvel rivals, Pokemon Red Rom, Pokemon AZ and any other stupid games that pop up. So I am slowly getting things done in the gaming side but also feel like my attention is in far to many places at the same time unless I really buckle down and focus in one game at a time. But its 11pm, and other then the energy for the event I am pretty sure I will be falling a sleep soon... And maybe, just maybe some time in the next two days I will be able to catch up again with Critical Role. As the newest episode came out and I couldn't watch it or the last hour of the 3rd episode.
