The wifey and I just got really excited about ordering “luxe” sheets. That puts us at a certain age, right? Doesn’t it? When you get excited about springing for “luxe” sheets? Pretty sure that’s how it works.
We currently sleep underneath a down comforter that is…16 years old? I think? And it’s great, don’t get it twisted. It has served us well. But…it also has its downsides, like it’s not compartmentalized, so the down shifts out to the edges all the time. It’s also probably too warm for Los Angeles. I bought it when I was living up in Humboldt. The douvet cover we have on it, likewise, is not ideal and getting on the older side of things.
We sprang for a new mattress a couple months ago…now we’re getting ourselves a new comforter. For people who love their sleep and try to take a nap whenever possible…this is great news.
Ps- I was just informed that having a 16-year-old comforter is gross and that I shouldn’t be sharing this information…but chill out people! We washed that shit over the years. Several times. Blech.
I had a nice day off today. I slept in, I took a nap, I recouperated. I did play a little bit of Fallout, but it was a very reasonable amount this time, which I’m very happy with. I’m back on the main quests right now, and *just* starting to get leveled up to the point where killing bad guys doesn’t take a million restarts. I’ve increased my pistol damage quite a bit – I recognized early on that those were my favorite – and that’s made it a lot easier to play. Like, supermutants used to be IMPOSSIBLE…and today I was able to off three of them all on my own without getting hit once.
It’s at this point of a game where I really start to have fun, to be honest. I don’t like my gameplay to be all that difficult. At first, sure, I’m fine with it as I learn the ropes…and of course I don’t want it to be TOO easy…but once I’ve leveled up a skill enough to start dominating a little bit, I’m in.
I also got a significant task done today, which was writing up answers to the questionnaire that the guy I’m having write my blurb for me requires to get started. I’m sure he won’t actually start for another couple weeks (which is all totally normal, it’s the turnaround time that I paid for), but at least it’s done. Getting closer to a launch date one tiny step at a time, guys. One tiny step at a time.
Time for the sleeps. I just took a spell to think about a novella idea there for the starstuff universe…it was a good idea. It might very well work. Potentially full of action and adventure…give insight to a main character without actually giving anything away in the main story…huh. “Balta’s Escape.” It has potential…
Good night!
