A Boring Book

6th Oct 2020

Today was a day of lots of not much.

Again I didn't sleep too well, David thinks that it was at least a little to do with the cats. I don't remember but he said they were a right pain last night and when they did settle it was in such a way that they took up as much bed space as they possibly could, leaving us very little space. So once again I got up very late wishing it was still night. 

Once I did finally get up, it was mostly because David brought food, so I begrudgingly got out of bed so I could go and enjoy the yumminess. I love bed a lot but I think I like food even more. While eating we watched some random YouTube, mostly it was science videos which are always interesting.

After food we didn't do much besides look around on the internet. I decided to try to find the picture of my bike from when the previous sellers we advertising it, so I could show a friend it, but it seems that they've been taken down. It's slightly irritating but not too big of an issue as I will be seeing the guy who sold it to me in a month to get it serviced, so I will ask if they still have them and can send them to me. I could just take some new pictures but these were really good and professional looking, far better than anything I could do. Even David tried to help, he's really good at finding things using Google and the like so I had high hopes, if he couldn't find it I definitely couldn't, but no luck.

After giving up the hunt for the pictures, we headed out to the butchers. It was wet still and my shoes are in no way waterproof so I hadn't been looking forward to this little trip but I had said yesterday that I would go and I don't like going back on my word. It started off like normal, with Twilight following us. She will follow us all over the village given half a chance but normally during the day the roads are a bit too busy for her and she'll wait for us at the co-op which we go through as a shortcut. Today was different, today she decided she would follow us the whole way. The only problem with that was the fact it was the busiest part of the day since all the kids at school had just been sent home. Twilight got a little too scared of all the cars and people but was still determined to follow us so I ended up carrying her half the way. Once at the butchers David went in on his own while I held on to Twilight, letting her watch through the window. I think she got a little bored waiting though as she began to try to escape towards the end. I didn't let her go though, worried that she would run off and we would lose track of her which would make getting home harder. Once David was done we started home and I put the silly cat down. Getting home was much faster than coming as Twilight was very happy to be heading back and at times felt like she kept asking us why we were being so slow now, the way she kept looking at us.

Back home I jumped onto Conan for a couple of hours. I went hunting with my new sabertooth to both level him up and make him even stronger than he already is and to collect more resources so I can continue to build the base. This is a big project so I'm needing a lot of stuff.

After that there was a guild event to take part in. David had set up a game of hide and seek to raise a bit of coin for the guild in ESO. He used to do these in our old MMO, the star wars one, and it was a lot of fun, so I was excited for trying it out in the newer game. Unfortunately I'm pretty crappy at these and David is pretty good at finding good hiding spots, also it's not a small area in which to search. So as expected I found him last bar one other person. It was still fun though and I got a small amount of coins for joining in which I gave to the guild. I actually finally found him by accident as I was climbing a rock to get a better view point. Once I reached the top, there he was and I swear I had seen the top of the rock enough a few times before that point but he wasn't there. Oh well, as I said before, I'm really not that good at stuff like that but it's still fun.

After the event was done we had dinner and watched more YouTube. Originally we were going to watch some Batman: the animated series but our internet was being funny and only staying up for five minutes at a time meaning it was short videos rather than something longer like the cartoon. After eating, David went back to the PC while I continued with YouTube. I had to fight the internet a bit but I didn't mind as much as David did. I watch, or try to watch, a channel that has weekly updates, I don't always remember and miss episodes. It's all about a guy who has several species of ants that he keeps. I both hate the creatures and am fascinated by them. I have to say though after watching his channel for a while I am thinking it would be cool to set up an ant farm of my own, just a small one with the local black ants which are in no way dangerous, just creepy. But it's another thing to add to my long list of things I want to do.
