Birthday Wishes & Updates
Jul. 23rd, 2024 08:41 pmThank you for all the happy birthday wishes 💜 I know I've been quiet on this platform, and that's more because I have nothing going on worth talking about than a desire to avoid contact.
I played and beat Tears of the Kingdom, the sequel to Breath of the Wild. I love BOTW more but it was still fantastic and I really think those games are going to be in my top 5 games forever lol. After that, I fell into Hollow Knight, a notoriously difficult metroidvania game that is beautiful and hand drawn. The music is also fantastic, but the plot to the game is REALLY sad. And now I'm playing Sun Haven, which is just like Stardew Valley but with a fantasy twist (and a couple other features I really love).
For reading, I'm still slowly finishing books. My TBR keeps growing and the books I keep reading aren't even on my TBR...sometimes thinking about my overwhelming TBR gives me anxiety lol.
Fandom-wise, I'm still really bouncing around. Anime, adult cartoons, video games, books, and tv shows (mostly old favorites, like SGA and Due South). I've also been reading a ton of webtoons lol.
I've started and not finished writing a ton of fics across at least three fandoms. I'd like to write, but motivation/energy are issues.
Work is going......................ok. We're still really short-staffed and our state gave everyone summer EBT. If you already get EBT, you get more. If you don't get EBT, you get some. It's because children are going to be at home so no meals at school. So they gave parents some EBT to help pay for kids to eat, which I'm all for. But it does mean we have more and/or bigger orders on top of being short staffed. We've been so busy I haven't even really been able to do management things; I'm helping with the basics of the job just to get that done.
I really need my vacation 😂
