...Nice -puts shades on-.

Anyways, an update. Last week was.... eh. I barely got any work done but I did do exercise almost daily so that's good for me. I've decided I'm gonna wean myself off these painkillers I'm on because I'm 99% sure it's them that caused the sudden weight gain and yeah... I'm just not happy. Not sure what the doctor will think, they'll probably tell me off for it but I have an appointment in a week or so, so I guess we'll see.

I started playing duel links on steam and damn... it's fun and nostalgic. I'm better than I thought I was, got up to silver rank in pvp already which is neat. I play a dragon deck because well, that's what I used to play in tournaments irl and stuff. There's so many new cards I didn't know about too which is interesting. It's fun learning about them all and it's good to have a game that's mentally stimulating. 

On tuesday I finally got that goddamn phasing appointment and it's gonna be super annoying but I gotta go. I kept cancelling it because laziness and mental health but this time I'm gonna go for sure. Getting up super early is gonna be hard but I gotta try. I'm gonna ask about getting new glasses too because god knows I need them. 

I finished reading Art Inc this week too which is good, I'm also reading a Shinto book and I wanna make notes on it Tuesday and maybe write a review for my blog. 

Other shit uhhh I finished the main story in cyber sleuth, just cleaning up the DLC and post-game, getting more digimon and I wanna try pvp, though I'm not sure how active it is rn. It'll be good practice for hacker's memory though. I wanna get next order asap too, so many games though aaaaargh. Didn't play FFXV this week, I played a bit of COTW and got an albino whitetail! Forgot to take a screenshot though which sucks. 

That's about it really, gonna try get my butt moving this week and get on to work. Got people emailing me asking when I'm open for commissions. There's a guy who wants four refs I'm like... yeah.... sure... maybe. Buhhh. 

Gonna go game a little then sleep.

 So it's 3am and I've been playing on FFXIV once again. There is actually a reason for me being up so late though - my cold suddenly got even shittier which effectively stopped me from sleeping properly and well, I ended up sleeping until like 4pm today.... I'm gonna go to bed in a sec and hopefully get up at 9. One step at a time. 

Anyways, I renamed and redesigned my main on FFXIV after a miqo'te character in a dream I had. His name is K'hani Tia (gotta follow those naming conventions). His name actually has meaning which is nice though. The K is the letter associated with the hipporian tribe of miqo'te (no idea which it's a K, but it just is) so that's the tribe he originated from. 

'Hani' is a name found in Hawaiian and Muslim naming, meaning 'happy' or 'to move lightly'. Also the name 'Khani' is a name which is very popular in Iran and the middle east. It has a lot of meanings including 'hidden, religious person, spiritual' etc As K'hani follows the miqo'te naming conventions, the 'h' would be a 'hissing sound' unpronouncable to many of the other races in Eorzea. Therefore the name is usually pronounced to others as 'Kani'. To close family and friends, it's common for the K to be dropped and so 'Hani' would be more an affectionate name. 

The 'tia' part of his name is a suffix for a non-breeding male - in each tribe they only have one or two breeding males - who bare the suffix nunh. Yes, that does mean miqo'tes have harems, the clan (Seekers of the Sun) that he's from anyways. Since he left his tribe and went adventuring the Tia suffix doesn't mean much any more, but he keeps it as part of his official name as a nod to his heritage. 

The character originated from a dream I had, and I've decided the class that would suit him the best is most likely going to be summoner. He's already a lv62 bard from my previous game, but as miqo'tes are talented hunters, it makes sense that he would do archery. 

I've actually looked into some RP stuff, but there seems to be a huge lack of RPers on Zodiark, with people recommending Omega. It might be worth making another character to test on Omega, as I don't think they're accepting transfers at this time. I kinda wish I knew that before, because I would have just have made K'hani a new character. But at the same time, I don't know if I have the time and energy to go through all the main story again. If they accept transfers in the near future it might be worth looking though.

Anyways, I'm just rambling because I wanted to get a journal out. Idk if I'm gonna reach 100 by December 31st but it would be awesome if I could. I just need to remember to actually blog here, even if it's nonsense it's still writing!

 So over the past 24 hours or so I've gotten a chest infection or something, though it's most likely due to smoking too much so I don't really have the right to complain haha. Yesterday morning I felt somewhat worse though as I really felt like I had a fever or something. My blood sugars shot from 7 to 22 and I was just generally not having a Good Time. Sorta the same today but whatever. At least Charlie is here today, he overslept and missed work, ooppps. 

Also he had his first driving lesson yesterday! I'm super proud of him! Bazu mentioned he might do an intensive course too so hurray, two slaves to drive me around. 

I've been really getting into Reddit lately, I joined a few boards; mainly digimon, entrepreneur stuff, productivity, FFXIV, vaping and tarot. Idk why it took me so long to get on there really, it's a lot of fun! The only board I disliked so far was the Shinto one, it was full of 'you can't be Shinto if you're not born into it/Japanese' type people, and people spreading misinformation. So gonna avoid that one haha. 

I might do little game updates. I don't play that much but ehhh.
