Don't live the American dream. Live your dream.

4/11

Well, at least this pandemic has done one thing that I didn’t think would happen for a really long time.

—  After some nudging, Jason pre-ordered the Final Fantasy 7 remake.
It was delivered on Friday and he started playing that same day.

There’s something special about playing a game knowing that there aren’t any faqs.   There aren’t really any spoilers.    All gamers start on the same level playing field.

Yeah, I’m a sap, but it’s just something new.   Fresh.
It kind of harkens back to when we actually paid attention to game releases and technology updates.    Each time something came out, it felt like a mini-holiday.

This kind of brings back that feeling.
It’s good.
And Jason made lasagna.  That’s the holiday part.

Maybe it was a good thing we lost the car this weekend.  Nothing much to do but housework, cook, and homework — and play Final Fantasy 7.

Stay-at-home at it’s finest.

Not such a bad thing.   At least, not today.

Unfortunately, the day is almost over.   But, maybe tomorrow can be a clone of today.
Who knows?   Maybe it’ll be better.

But — wish with one hand and shit in the other.   Guess which fills up first.

Anyways…   One more weekend closer to going back to Indiana.

I was supposed to have left a couple of weeks ago, but…  I didn’t feel right leaving Jason in the middle of the covid thing.   My doctor appointments were all canceled or rescheduled.  Mom and Amanda are holding down things at home.

There really wasn’t any reason to go, logically, except that I miss my family.    Course, I’d miss him too…

I always sandwich myself into that type of situation.   I feel guilty for going.   Guilty for staying.   It’s been like this for years.

I don’t see it letting up anytime soon either.
I’m good at carrying the guilt.

Well, I’m still blessed.
I have people who want me.

Homework came in.   I better get to it!
