I’m im NYC, as foretold in the prophecy. I’m tired but it’s pretty cool! Here are some
Impressions:
-The subway trains here are very verbose. You arrive at a stop and the train announces the stop name before telling you every possible transfer there and where it is, the location of the elevator, and some random warning. It’s so much wordier than the Chicago ones. But I kind of dig it.
-New Yorkers are so pretentious about their pizza and it’s kind of annoying but upon trying it here today… yeah that’s pretty damn good pizza.
-I walked a lot. You can walk a lot here.
-Work, the main thing I’m here for, is “definitely work” - I wish I had some more time to actually explore and be a tourist but it’s pretty fun to get to walk around at night anyways.
Still perpetually exhausted but I forced myself outta the house for Actual Fun. Went to trivia with friends and revived my incredibly-long-dead team (which I haven't led in... at least a year and a half). It was a good time, I tried to stay out after that but hit a point where I realized I was just gonna pass out if I didn't go home asap. I've got a really low battery lately and p. much only sleep if I collapse from either exhaustion or intoxication. Can't say it's been great but today has been good in spite of that. Just gotta keep on truckin'.
Was trying to figure out why the heck I couldn't sleep tonight (it's 1:22AM my time).
Turns out the flavoring I put into my carbonated water tonight was heavily caffeinated. I made some carbonated water and put some flavoring in it for a nice evening drink, and accidentally ingested like 200-300mg of caffeine... like three hours ago. normally I cut off caffeine around 2PM so I can sleep, but not tonight
Looks like I'll be booting up some games to kill the next couple hours and sleeping in super far tomorrow. thankfully it's sunday
Yesterday a friend visited from out of town. We got food and went to the park and the zoo. It was pretty fun.
Though when I slept I ended up waking up at 4am for no reason and struggled to get back to sleep. I feel a bit tired and off today, and I've done very little. That's probably ok though. Might order some food as a treat. Yesterday was a good day so that's cool
Spent most of last week at Summer GamesDoneQuick. Phenomenal week, total blast, inspired to pick up a speed game, we'll see how that goes.
Brought my 3DS along to streetpass some folks and actually got a lot. Enjoy this 3DS selfie of masked Kepler (the 3DS camera is both awesome and trash, i love it). I didn't get con flu, pretty happy about that!!
Dropping off my heart monitor in the morning. I think it's a great example of how exhausted I've been lately that I've had a nice & shiny new printer sitting in my living room for the last week but haven't set it up until... well, a few minutes from now. Excited to move on with my life soon, hopefully.
we have been incredibly dizzy feeling all day. we suspect it's pertinent to anemia somehow, but it's unusual for it to be bad enough that we're still feeling it while sitting down and going about the day as normal. seems daily iron supplements over the past month-ish haven't been doing terribly much to help. good news is that we're gonna have blood work done later in the month to see if it is anemia. if not, then uh. god help us i guess
