areolasSince I took off Mon & Tues from work for my midterm, originally we still had to work on Friday since the university was open. I was kind of looking forward to it almost, a quiet day where most of our staff took a vacation day & no one reasonable would be logged in working (the physicists are not often reasonable, though) would have given me plenty of time to catch up on everything I missed. And there was A LOT just from two days away.
Instead, enough staff called off I guess that the university just decided to close doors Friday too. So I had a one-day work week and get two four-day weekends in a row. There's gonna be a lot to catch up on Monday but man..... some nice long weekends back to back? I'll survive.
Been a quiet day, the best kind of day. Finally got around today to something I've been needing and wanting to do for months now, going through part of my closet. I had a little covid weight gain over the years of lockdown and working from home (plus the whole thing of turning 30 in that time and ditching the metabolism of my 20s). On top of that, after a couple of years working from home and wearing comfy lounge clothes exclusively, a lot of the stuff in my closet just isn't my style anymore.
We got together a trash bag of stuff to donate already! There's still more to look through, but it's good progress. Finally from there I can go onward to getting some replacement clothes. Or, ideally, learning to sew clothes and not have to bother with the dressing rooms again.
Got my new glasses! They look good. It's weird having crisp perfect vision again. I hadn't even realized how outdated my prescription had become over time, it was such a gradual change. Strange to get rid of my old frames, I had them for 8 years and they feel like me. It's like trading out my nose few a new one or something, they're just part of my face!
Trying to finish Horizon Zero Dawn over this long weekend, I'm very close to done. It hasn't impacted me much, like as a game in general. The world is so beautiful I could look at it forever, but the game itself, eh? It's not bad, by a long shot. It's just like, fine. Excited to check something else off my list for 2024 though!
