Usually I am on top of writing but lately I haven’t. I’ll try to be better at that.
Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband. Tuesday we have been married 13 years! I can’t believe it already!
I made these for our anniversary:
So cute! Jeff was surprised and he loved them.
He said he felt guilty he didn’t get me anything. I told him he gets me lots of things throughout the year. I just wanted to make him something.
Happy Anniversary to the love of my life!
It’s like collecting books but their video games. Yay! I got two new video games. I got Everybody has gone to Rapture and The Order 1886. The Order is a game I have wanted since it came out however it has terrible reviews. Even though the game is so gorgeous the run time is very low. For that I wasn’t willing to pay the 60 dollars back then. But a couple of days ago it came out for 5 dollars! Now that literally is a steal.
This weekened I am going to do girls weekend. Not sure what that entails this year. But I do get to see Bree and my sister Chrissy is always good.
My mom had to have surgery on her side. May years ago she had to have a shut put in the back of her head to the side of her. A piece broke off and she was in terrible pain. She said she is doing good.
We had drastic change of weather. First it was hot and now all of sudden it’s cold. Know what that means winter is coming. At this point in the year I am like whatever.
It’s a video game extravaganza! The world has gone mad and I don’t want to be out in it. What’s the best way to past time VIDEO GAMES! I have gotten so many video games this year, it’s awesome!
I have gotten: Detroit become human, Beyond two souls, State of mind, Valley, Wolfenstein old blood, Metro Exodus, and a DLC, Layers of Fear, Guns gore and cannoli and Guns gore and cannoli 2.
Guns gore and cannoli and it’s a sequel is a local co-op. I have been trying to find games that Jeff and I can play for a long time. This one is FUN! I have seen the local co-op games geared for kids. So I was happy when I found this. When they say gore they mean it! We are playing the first one right now.
Today I will be getting Tony Hawk 1 & 2. I can’t wait to play it. Oh man, I remember playing them all except for 5. I skipped that Tony Hawk game. When Adam comes for a visit. I can’t wait to play with him. They say this game also has local co-op.
Truly a video game extravaganza! I even still have some games I bought last year that I haven’t play thoroughly yet. I also want The Last of us part 2 for Christmas. So I will be busy this winter.
Early August PlayStation store was having a sale. I love sales! So I got two games and a DLC.
I really wanted Detroit Become Human. They had such a good deal get three games for the price of one. It was Detroit Become Human, Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls. I have played all Quantic Dream games expect for Fahrenheit.
I didn’t want to play Heavy Rain again. Getting Beyond: Two souls was a bonus.
Let’s start with Beyond: Two Souls.
Spoiler alert!
Can tell this was a console ago. The graphics feel a bit of the PS3 and the dreaded fixed camera angles. I hate them! Moving the camera was a pain when it could be moved. I have to say I didn’t really like this game. I would not play again which it’s a choices game. Every time played can pick different choices that influence the story. I just can’t play this again.
It had this stupid fight game mechanic which I hated so much. Jodie got beat up a lot because of it. I couldn’t the hang of moving the stick in directions of her. It was bad.
I didn’t understand the first mission and its point. Also, Aiden is Jodie’s twin that wasn’t born alive. How did his world have monsters in it and how did they get in Jodie’s world? Why did they attack her only? Just some of that doesn’t make any sense. A typical Quantic Dream game. Doesn’t make any sense some of the story. Another thing that doesn’t make any sense is the character, Ryan. Why is he a love interest? He is an asshole! And the story shoves this character in Jodie’s face. I guess every story has to have an asshole. I also made him lose his eye. (Insert evil laugh here).
I played the last chapter twice because of the two choices. Then the epilogue a bunch of times to see all of the four choices when life is chosen. Wasn’t really all that impressed with the endings but this is a Quantic Dream game. Can tell where they came from and to see if they figured out how to do endings better.
Detroit Become Human
Living in the future and now there are androids. I got to play three characters in order of my favorite: Connor, Markus and Kara.
I have to say I didn’t like playing Kara because she has to take care of a child android which I figured out almost immediately but the game “tries” to hide it that she is android. I learned that Markus and Kara can die. Connor can die too but he comes back. Once I knew I can kill off characters, I killed off Kara many times. Hahahaha!
I like Connor because he is a detective. He has to work with a human detective. That’s pretty cool. Markus is a freedom leader and Connor’s and Markus’s fate intertwines with each other which is great. I don’t understand why there has to be Kara?
I have to mention there are some AWKWARD conversations in this game. Connor has two of them and Kara has one. Connor has a conversation with a cop while investigating what Markus did at this TV station. If of course, he saved from the first chapter. It’s really strange how Connor acts during this scene. The second conversation he has with his partner Hank while Hank is eating. Nothing that is picked makes this conversation any better. Kara and Rose’s conversation is strange! Same no matter choice it doesn’t flow right.
There is this one chapter with Markus that gives me bad motion sickness. It’s the chapter where he puts himself back together. I have to turn off the sound because it makes it worse. Every time I play it, I try to do it quickly before it makes me sick.
One more thing is the first chapters of Markus and Kara are super boring but has to be played because of Connor’s first chapter choices. I literally play games on my Ipad when doing these super boring chapters with Kara and Markus. I don’t understand why video games makes us to chores. I don’t even like doing chores in real life. Why would like doing them in a game?
This game has so MANY endings. More so then any other game I have ever played with many endings. I loved it. This is worth the money even without the other two games attached to it.
I hope that Quantic Dream can continue making more games like this one but work on the conversations.
Metro Exodus
I have read all the Metro books and liked them. So I have to play the games!
This game gives me motion like no other video I have ever played. I don’t know what it is either. I have tried all kinds of settings in the game but I still get motion sickness from this game.
So I can only play this game a little each time. Which sucks. It’s still a good game. Not done with it but I hope it’s close to the books. So far the games I did play are close enough to the books.
Last week I said I kept crying and I determine I was sad. I know my anxiety hasn’t been the greatest this year. It started to come back when Jeff said that he might lose some hours at work. UGH! I can’t handle all the negativity and worrying about things.
I have come to the conclusion that I need to go back to Keto. Been doing so bad this year with that. This week I started Keto again and my mood started to change. I also figured out that I need something to look forward to something. Since I have to be in my house all the time. I need something different.
This year is what I say is a double edge sword for me. For one thing, I am a homebody. Yet I don’t like to be told I have to stay in my home.
I would like to see Lori to do my hair but I don’t want to go there because of all the people that go in and out of her place. I won’t see her this year and my hair looks poopy. I hate that all my white roots are showing makes feel not great about myself. I feel good when my hair looks good.
I have been going back and forth should I dye it myself or not. Should I bleach it or not. I started to do a lot more research on what I want to do. First, maybe I give myself highlights. I researched that then went back and forth on what I wanted to do to my hair.
I have decided I am going to bleach it and I hope I can get it white as possible. If it turns out ashy I am good with that too. Not going to dye just bleach. I did all kinds of research on how to do it and to achieve the look I want. Next weekend I will be doing that.
My mood has changed more now. I feel happier that I am going to do my hair. I also lost some weight from Keto already. I can tell that I am still a bit sad but I am working on it.
Jeff had gotten a surprise for the dogs this week! He got them a bed which they have been taking turns sleeping on it.
They haven’t had a bed for a while because Tex as a puppy ate it and peed on both doggy beds we had. This cool they love their bed.
I don’t know what it is but I have been emotional for some reason. I HATE IT! I want to cry for absolutely no reason. Emotions are dumb sometimes.
I think I need to leave my house and go do something normal or something fun. I am in my home all the time well almost all the time more than normal.
Last week we got a new to us table. But it needs some TLC. We are going to sand it down and stain it. We also got some new to us chairs. They are nice and when we finish the table they all will match. The table set we have now is too low. Sitting at it for long period of times is terrible for my body.
More people at Jeff’s work got Covid. So now Jeff has to work from home instead of his every other week.
I feel at this point, whatever. I know I shouldn’t say that but I feel eventually we all will get it. Unfortunately yes some will get it much worse than others. But for me, I think I will get it and survive and so will Jeff. It’s called positive thinking. Also, they say vaccine. They don’t even have a vaccine for the common cold. So…yeah I don’t really see a vaccine coming any time soon. I am skeptical of getting a vaccine right away anyways. I know they do trials and such. But talking about the government here and I don’t trust them.
Last week our governor said all of the state of Wisconsin needs to wear a mask everywhere. I understand stores but restaurants? I don’t know if they are really helping. I DO wear my mask in every store I go. But I can see why people don’t want too. Like I said we all going to eventually get it. Unless someone lives in their homes forever but what kind of life is that?
I was really scared in the beginning because of the fear media. But not anymore and I don’t watch the media. Now the only thing I worry about is Jeff going to able to keep his job? I hope so and don’t reduce his hours either.
Goodbye 2020 I want you to leave, there is the door. —>
Yesterday Jeff and I went to a new restaurant for us. My parent’s told us about it. It’s called the Greenwitch Bistro. It was really, really good! Everything there is organic. The service was amazing as well. We will definitely be going back.
I call it the great debate of 2020. To wear a mask or not. Jeff hates wearing his mask. I think it’s a good idea to wear a mask. Even got a fancy one.
I have crazy frizzy hair. Lol!
Last week, we had my sister’s dog. Bailey and Marley. At first, everyone got along until late Tuesday. Marley peed in the house three times and pooped in our home two times. He supposed to be potty trained, I guess not in my house for some reason. He also didn’t like Tex after Tuesday. Think because was jealous that Tex and Bailey were hanging out. He would bark and growl at him. Good thing that is all he would do and not be aggressive to him.
Bailey and Tex were buddies. It was neat to see. They would play ball together! If Bailey got the ball first she would drop it and Tex would bring it to me. So silly! I called her Diva as well because all she wanted to be is the center of attention. Bailey was so cute!
However it was time for them to go. It’s was pretty cool to have four dogs and to see what’s like to have more than two. I think one day I would like to have three dogs all at once but four is a bit much for me.
The poop situation wasn’t a big deal as my mom and sister thought it would be. My dogs poop bigger and at least 2 times a day most of the time. So it wasn’t bad at all.
Having Bailey and Marley convinced Jeff of getting a medium-size dog because all he wants is big dogs. Lol!
They were happy to go home and I am happy to have my two fur babies.
Bailey is the light tan and Marley the dark brown. They are Labradoodles. It’s funny they wanted to share that tiny bed.
Last weekend was the 4th of July. We went to my parent’s house. I saw three of my aunts and uncles. Some were leery about getting close to anyone and one of my aunts was like “Can I just hug you?” I was like yes! I haven’t been anywhere.
Everyone was there for maybe a couple of hours but Jeff and I stayed a lot longer then that. It was nice to chat with the parents.
Also on the 4th was Tex’s birthday! He turned 2.
We got him a Kong ball. Since Tex is a heavy chewer and he loves his other Kong toy. He hasn’t destroyed that we figured a ball would hold up. Tex loves balls it’s his favorite toy.
Back up to last Wednesday July 1st. Jeff and I did our first landscaping project. We have been talking about it forever and finally did it. We put down rubber mulch and planted some Hostas.
