Lucky Again

My car stopped in traffic today. It made a horrible noise and then I suddenly couldn't get it to do anything. I'm very lucky the car behind me was able to stop. I'm very lucky I wasn't it.

The car is at the mechanic's now. I'm hoping they can figure out what is wrong with it without multiple trips and multiple repeats of it stopping like this. 

I'm really screwed up about this. I came so close to being hit and I know things could have ended up a lot worse than they were. I hate it when the car is broken. Like my roommate says, we depend so much on them and they're so very old. 

Hopefully they can fix it. 

Hot Again

Despite the fact that it's October, the weather today decided to be 94. I was miserable for quite a few hours. It's supposed to cool down over the week, but this weekend isn't going to be any fun.

I keep a daily journal about what I eat and how I feel. The last several weeks have just been a repeat of "tired." I'm staying so very tired and I don't know why. I probably need to talk to my doctor about it, but even the idea of going to the doctor is making me tired. 

In the meantime, hopefully it will cool down sooner rather than later.

Sims Tasks

So every Tuesday for several weeks, Sims 4 has tasks they want us to do. It's Halloween-themed, basically. It's a long-form tutorial on making Ambrosia. Every week, you have some things you have to do to get closer to learning how to make it.

It's a very simple little set of tasks, but I find that I'm really enjoying it. I wish they would do things like this more often. It gives Sim players something to look forward to and a way to get some holiday-themed free content. 

Warmer

I was looking forward to October, but it's proving disappointing so far. It's been hotter than it should be. It's been in the 90s. We're still having to mow the lawn. It's so stupid.

I need Fall. I need colder temps and to wear my hoodie. I need to watch the leaves spiral to the ground as I drink hot cocoa. I do not need to have three fans on me this time of year. 

Fall really needs to get here.
