Today was more reorganization & cleaning. Also played frisbee with J&K – got a knockoff Aerobie at Target. The kids don’t like throwing a ball around, but for whatever reason, frisbee is right up their alley.
Cleaned out the foyer closet, which is where I discovered all the hats. Got rid of a few jackets, and a 20 year old suit that was both too small and the shoulder pads were … not good.
Also grabbed my dad’s old briefcase, which has been in that closet for something like 10 years. It holds all the stuff I need to go to work. So I’m using it. It’s ridiculous, sure, but whatever.
Played a bit of Fortnite Battle Royale – I’d picked up PUBG a few days ago, because I figured it’s the kind of thing I should know about (and indeed, it’s fun!). FBR is a bit more up my speed than PUBG – I like that it has something that feels like style and character, but PUBG has a nice tension that comes, I think, in part from the realism.
Also picked The Division back up again, for reasons that are somewhat beyond me – it’s fun, but one problem with jumping in after a year away is that I have almost no idea what the fuck is going on. I didn’t play it a ton when I originally got it, since no one else I knew was playing at the same times I was playing, but since the shine’s really come off of Destiny 2 recently, it’s a sort of loot-based game that’s similar, but different enough, and I’ve got a long way to go before the endgame, so it’s a nice change of pace. Also played a little bit of Horizon, and man – that game is just jaw-droppingly beautiful. The design, the character art, the environments, the enemies – it’s all just really, really damn good.
Started up another bottle of the Sol Food hot sauce again. It’s a couple days of soaking jalapenos in vinegar to start, so I’ve got time to get the rest of the stuff I need.
All in all, it’s been a pretty great two weeks off. We had a few days here before heading out to ATL, then a few days after we got back when J’s school was still off, so it’s felt almost like three vacations back-to-back-to-back, even if two of ’em were just puttering around at home taking care of shit.
