Gaming:
No gaming updates. I was so winded last night (due to the humidity) that I thought I'd play something mindless. So, yes, I played The Sims, what's it to you? Sims 4 specifically - with a few expansion packs and mods, it has the best character creator I've ever seen. I spend way more time on creating characters and building houses than I do the actual supposed "gameplay." That tells you where they put the emphasis. Everything I've bought for Sims 4 has been on sale, so I'm telling EA that none of it is worth full price because it isn't. I'd never boycott EA - just individual games like the newer Battlefront 2 where it's meant to be a money trap. Sims 4 is fine at sale prices.

But yeah, you guys don't care about Sims, so not going to bother talking about it more.

Weight loss:
My scale is a bit inconsistent, if you'd remember. Probably will take it with me when I move (my parents have a backup that's newer and probably more reliable - but it's my dad's choice between the two). So that's the explanation as to why I was a pound and a half down from yesterday. Eating like 900 calories and walking 13,000 steps shouldn't do that in a single day, but hey, I'll take it.

I know I said my goal was 15k, but I legit did not feel like doing that much. The humidity. I wouldn't have gotten anywhere near the 13k I did if the temperature had done more than just scratch 90. While I am thankful it never gets truly scorching hot where I live (I've never seen a triple-digit raw temp), that doesn't change that the summer humidity can be stifling, especially when the temp does get into the upper 80s and 90s. And because of the Dew Point, the humidity is way, way worse than the SoCal variety. That said, I don't envy those around the Gulf of Mexico, having three-digit temps AND humidity. Mad respect to anyone reading who deals with that shit.

So yeah, 14,700 steps on the week so far. Not horrible. Could be better. The humidity is continuing today so my step count will probably be low. Yoga, though.

Song of the Day:
Goin' local again. I have a friend who I know needs this kind of thing.

For a project at a songwriters' workshop, Shawni did a damn good job here.

Other things:
Finally started showing my dad last year's Australian Survivor. Truly a masterpiece, that one. King Luke is already making an impression on him! Seriously, who DOESN'T love King Luke?

No sign of bedbugs.
Trying to put myself out there more. Makes me happier.
Job is boring but I'm dealing... for now. I need the health insurance I'm getting in September.

Not much else to report right now!
