A Weekly Gaming Fandom Drabble Challenge

I hate feeling like this. I’m so tired, and I don’t know why. I didn’t update yesterday because I was just so tired for most of the day. I slept until 9:30, so I don’t understand why that was. I started feeling better in the evening, but still not great. 

And now I’m at work, and I’m so tired my eyes are hot. I hate that sensation. 

I also had to wash my hands again this morning. I had some kind of black stuff on my fingers—like the kind of stuff you get on your hands when handling car parts. I don’t know where it came from, but there was a lot of it. 

Gosh, I’m so tired, I don’t want to do this anymore. This, specifically, not life or anything like that, although I could use a break from life, too. I think I’m going to go put a cold, wet paper towel on my eyes. 

Okay, that helped. 

I’m going to do my best today. Ken isn’t in, so I get to listen to my ipod all day, which I’m going to do. 

We need payday to hurry up and come, although it won’t be until Thursday this week, I’m pretty sure. We have six cents to our name, and that’s… pretty bad. I’m going to end up using my allowance for my dermatologist appointment. Hopefully that doesn’t cut into the funds I need for an order I placed in early August. I don’t know why it hasn’t shipped yet, but it’s supposed to get here on September 11. 

Speaking of September 11, Cal has his appointment with the orthopedist that day. I’m debating taking the day off for it. I don’t want to look like a hypocrite when it comes to major health issues, and I think I will if I’m not with him for it. I’ll talk to him about it. 

Anyway, that seems to be all I have to talk about for now, so I’ll wrap this up. Toodles.

It’s a high pain day today. My… well… everything hurts. Including the center of my chest, which is disturbing. It also hurts when I take a deep breath. I’m going to try to take it easy today. So far we’ve finished up the grocery shopping, and that’s about it. 

I finished Phantasy Star last night. The penultimate boss was harder than the last one; I lost the penultimate fight, and thought I’d lose it a second time because my characters kept missing. It came down to a duel between Alis and the boss, and she landed the final strike before the one that would kill her. I also was very glad I had a transfer, because otherwise I’d have soft-locked the game at that point 

There are actually a few places you can soft-lock the game, at least one of which is intentional. The guard at the start of a dungeon  will tell you to go left, but if you do, you’ll fall into a pit from which you need to teleport out of. If you have no method of teleportation, you’re screwed. The potential soft-lock at the end is possibly intentional, too. No transfer, no Myau, no Noah, and no MP, and you can’t get out of the final area. And that boss is very hard, so you’ll probably have no MP, and I had no Myau and no Noah. I had a transfer, though, thanks to reading the walkthrough. 

So now I’m on to Lunar: Eternal Blue, because I don’t have the other Phantasy Star games. Very well, Lunar: The Silver Star was good fun, and Ed says that LEB is the real gem there. 

I also have a dermatologist appointment on Tuesday, for which I do not have copay. I’ll figure it out, I’m sure. 

Anyway, I’m probably going to try to write a bit before lunch, and then play some video games before cleaning a little bit, if I can.
