Turned into a game day
Had a 90 minute work meeting this morning but then I:
Played online Monster Prom with my friend Mathew. Sadly, his cat jumped on his PC right at the end when we were about to find out who our dates would be! UGH!
Played a bit of Animal Crossing (of course) and one of my new villagers moved in! Learned how to customize items too. I'm *this* close to having enough bells to pay off my house and get the expansion.
Played online trivia with a group of random people - one of them uses the library and follows me on twitter so she invited me to the game.
Then finished off the night playing Animal Crossing again, but this time online with Abbey. Used the Nintendo online app which lets you do voice chat when you're visiting someone's island and OMG GAME CHANGER! So much easier than trying to type on my Switch.
In between all of this, Sylvia and I walked to Dunkin to take advantage of Free Donut Friday. Except, when we got there, the lobby to the store was closed so we walked up to the drive thru window and waved LOL. The woman at the counter recognized me and thanked us for coming. Scary when even Dunkin is feeling the crunch.
And I made some new internet friends after watching Luke Westaway's music writing live stream (he's one of the OutsideXtra hosts who has starting doing music on the side) and the chat was so fun that I suggested we start a Discord to keep the conversation going. There's only 8 of us in the group but it's been cool chatting. We have someone from Iceland, Ireland, France, and a person living in Oregon who used to be in Dublin, a girl in California and then me. :D It's very chill and I think everyone just wants that bit of escape.
I swear, the OutsideXbox, OutsideXtra, and Dicebreaker live streams have been saving my sanity. Just a change of voices in the house, the live chats giving me real time conversation...it really has made me feel less trapped at home.
I can't believe tomorrow is Saturday. Everything just feels wacky, all the days are the same. I don't like it. I've set an alarm for myself so I will wake up by 10am so I can watch the Dicebreaker D&D stream at 11am. I think during Monday-Friday I might set the alarm for 8am just to keep my body in the right cycle of things.
Hope you are all safe and well. **ELBOW BUMPS**
