2021. While, I would say it was more of an improvement on 2020, it still got rough, especially in the last couple of months. I've had to endure grief too. Not everything is all right. Like my uncle still stuck in a nursing home for over a year, and Derek continuing to prey on Grammy. We got the vaccines and I do have a lot less fear after receiving ( Read more... )

We finally got to have our Christmas yesterday. It was such a weird situation really. Normally we have a special breakfast with bacon and french toast on a Christmas morning, which we still did on the 25th, and then we'd usually open presents after that. This time we had Christmas two days later and Grammy and my brother came over around one to ( Read more... )

So, we finally got our boosters on Wednesday. This time we got Moderna because it was what was available at the most convenient time and place. Turns out mixing and matching might be better after all and give more protection. Especially with the Omicron variant now out there that seems to render the vaccines much less effective against infection. I ( Read more... )

I'm still chugging away at The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. I'm on the fourth episode of five on the first game, so I still have quite a ways to go, but I thought I'd give a personal update this time. Not too long ago my parents got invited by John to come up to Big Bear to help him with moving some stuff I think it was from Darlene's mom's house ( Read more... )

This is going to be brief. At least, I think. I finished my Hidden Object Game the other day. It was pretty fun, although the cursor interactiveness was not as responsive as I would have liked. The bad guy was named Loki, but he looked nothing like him. Maybe he was a different Loki. Now I've gotten back into adventures with a game called Encodya, ( Read more... )

I finished Mutazione. I wasn't sure how to pronounce the title of this game, but apparently it's Italian for "Mutation," so that's probably how it's pronounced. But turns out the developers are Danish. I was trying to figure out what kind of setting this game was, but I couldn't wrap my head around it. Anyway, it centers around a teenage girl named ( Read more... )

Ugh. 2020. I remember when I did my year in review for 2019, I foresaw 2020 as being a year of change, but I had no idea the kind of change I was about to experience. I'm sure it was a horrible year for almost everyone. For me the pandemic wasn't the only reason. Sorry, but I have to say this now because I just found out yesterday my uncle Doug has ( Read more... )

Yes, I'm still playing Two Point Hospital. It's long. But I thought I'd give another update because my family and I found ourselves in a harrowing situation. My parents put themselves in a position where they were exposed to Covid. How did that happen? Well, their friends from Idaho were coming down because John's mother wasn't doing well and he ( Read more... )

I normally post personal updates along with my game updates, but I thought I'd be different this time. I went to get a blood test yesterday, as I usually do every six months or so. And literally it's the first time I've gone inside a public building since March. Yeah. It's also the first time I've worn a mask in public. Despite my mom's continued ( Read more... )

Here in California we're starting to see a flattening of the curve because our governor acted quickly, which is good. Our cases and deaths aren't rising as quickly as other states. While it's good news, it doesn't really mean a lot because we still have to stay at home and practice social distancing, possibly until this is all over, which will ( Read more... )
