The things I miss:

• Going to restaurants.


• Thinking I might go to restaurants sometimes, even if I didn't.


• Pizza Hut pizza.


• Going to perfume shops, so you can actually smell what the damn hell you might be buying.


• Just being able to get on a train or bus somewhere. My mum and I were talking about the holiday boom predictions yesterday, and I was like 'honestly, I would be happy with a bus to Wakefield at this point'.


• Telling myself I might go to the zoo, even if I didn't.


• Remembering what time and dates were, because it somehow mattered.


• Looking forward to video game release dates, because they did used to announce those even though things sometimes got delayed, but now they don't even seem to be doing that because things will probably get delayed. Will any of the games I'm looking forward to come out this year or next? I don't know, so there's no point thinking about them.

I've been watching the Great. I love the Great. I want to just watch all of it, but streaming services aren't working for me at the moment, and C4 is doling it out one episode at a time. Here are my thoughts, four episodes in:

• My dad has pointed out that a lot of the comedy comes from Peter, so I don't know what kind of show it will be when he's gone.


• I want Catherine to be the empress right now.


• I want all the women in real life to coup all the men in real life right now.


• I love the maid, and the aunt, and I'm terrified for what's going to actually happen to them in the coup.


• I'm afraid for everyone, even the people who aren't Catherine's friends, and what's going to happen to them in the coup. Lady Spenska (sp?) needs to be with her husband, clearly, if he doesn't die in war first, and the nice woman who's sleeping with Peter might go to the wall for him. What is this coup going to be?


• I'm afraid for Peter's dog in the coup. Don't kill it just because it's loyal to Peter, Catherine. We didn't even see it last episode.

I'm still playing Borderlands, I love Maya, I love Handsome Jack. Sometimes when Maya has killed a lot of people in a row and laughs deep in her throat, or says "You should all be running!", I think about the writing in Borderlands 3 and I weep. It's such a great game to replay, because the random gun system keeps things fresh everytime. I really want to talk to people about it, and then I remember it's a ten year-old game, and everyone loves Tales From the Borderlands and Rhys these days. I have also been playing a lot of the Sims. I have freed my main character from the Far Cry 5 house, given her six dogs, and she's living out her life as a conservationist in an Indonesia-inspired National Park. It's beautiful escapism. Soon I will move her away from there, into a haunted house, and make her an astronaut.

My mum got her appointment for the vaccine, for next Thursday. I don't know what to think of vaccines anymore, and all the different types, and how they're spreading out the doses in a way that hasn't been tested, but some protection is better than nothing, and I am really relieved.

I miss those things too! ♥

It's awesome that you're enjoying Borderlands 3 still, and that sounds like an awesome Sims playthrough! :D

That's great that your mom has her appointment for the vaccine. :)
