no thank you I think I will not go out
It's snowing in Chicago today. Also hail, and sleet, and general grossness. I, accordingly, have stayed inside all day and have no intention of changing that at this late juncture.
I made a tasty for dinner--a Provencal beef stew (beef, onions, garlic, bacon, carrots, red wine, beef broth, some herbs, a little bit of orange juice to finish) in the crock pot, and then made some roasted red potatoes and asparagus to go alongside. The potatoes were an unexpected challenge. I meant to just toss them in olive oil and dry onion soup mix, but it turned out I had used up all the mix and so I ended up digging for an actual recipe. So, two new things made today, and both were tasty.
Other than that, it's been a very chill day hanging out in FF14 with
seventhe and casually leveling whatever looks good at the moment. I did get about a half-hour of Camp Nanowrimo editing done yesterday, which means I'm already a bit behind, but I'm satisfied with the chapters I poked at. That being said, I still have some of the worst ones to wrestle, including ones where I just, you know, skipped a whole bunch of stuff because I didn't feel like writing it at the time. On the plus side, that'll mean more words for GYWO?
(I'm counting hours spent editing for Camp, and actual words written for GYWO. Mostly because that's the way that feels most honest. Granted, given that editing doesn't always result in new words, it makes GYWO more of a struggle for this month, but I'm okay with that - I'm current on GYWO with the assumption that I'm not doing NaNoWriMo in November, which means I'm quite ahead if I do end up doing NaNo. We'll see.)
In other news I went back to Final Fantasy Explorers and beat Ifrit as a ranger; now I'm trying out black mage on the repeat runs for shinytoys. I got wrecked, mostly because I keep forgetting that Barrier is a thing. I'll have to do some runs to gather stuff for the other quests I have and then give it another try. Mostly I'm just waiting impatiently for Bravely Second to happen because eeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeee I'm so excited.
(Maybe I'd better try to get ahead on editing hours before that....hmmmm.)
I completely failed at working out at all this week :/ mostly it's because between brain static from fighting about meds and body static equivalent from just not feeling well, I really wasn't feeling up for it. I'll just have to do better at it next week, I guess.
