orangerful | June 7th selfie (Reply)

It’s still a selfie if you can’t see my whole face, right? Twas my day off and I used the time to recharge mentally after yesterday’s full on drain. Played lots of video games and just chilled. Wanted to show off my P!atd shirt too! That’s my desk behind me, Leia says hi.

I picked up Horizon: Zero Dawn which, according to my most recent save file, I had not played since September of 2018. Oops. To be fair, the game made me mad. It is open world and I wandered into a zone and triggered a quest I was not prepared for yet. And I hadn't saved in awhile or something and I didn't want to go back at the time because I knew how much progress I had made. But after almost a year collecting dust on my shelf, I had forgotten pretty much everything, so rolling it back to a save that was the day before that last one wasn't as cringe inducing. And OMG I realized I had a bunch of really early quests I hadn't bothered to do that had equipment rewards/training and yeah...oops!

I was bad today and bought some stuff from Torrid...I mean, it was 40% off + another 5% because ~~they own my soul~~ I have their credit card so I got a deal! I bought Star Wars shorts. I couldn't resist!!! I've got Star Wars on the brain with every damn nerd site I follow going to Galaxy's Edge last week. And now OutsideXbox is back there AGAIN today because they are in California for E3 and the whole gang is there and they were Instagramming it all afternoon. JUST TORTURE! I'm thinking maybe we can go in 2021. By then, all the rides should be open and running. And they should have the whole line system worked out. Apparently you make an appointment for when you get to go into Galaxy's Edge so only a certain number of people are in there at a given time. And you have color coded wrist bands so that the park people can easily tell how much time you have left and let you know if you can or cannot do something.

Oh, and my Dad officially retired today! 25 years as a federal employee (and he had retired from the Navy before that so he has served his country well, yeah?) Anyway, my Mom said my Dad was home by 10:45 am and she emailed me around noon saying he had called her 3 times already. LOL. It's a good thing she is retiring too, though not for a few more weeks.

Anywayz, need to get to bed. Workin' tomorrow. Hoping it is chill, the weather is kind of blah - hot and cloudy, storms are lurking. TTFN
