No work today! Yay! Also Infinity Nikki, friend, and scrubbing the floor.

Hello all! Hope you're having a nice day today!
Today I woke up to my phone's alarm at the usual time, but then I remember I didn't have to work today, so I smiled, turned the alarm off, and went back to sleep lol
Got out of bed a few hours later than usual, ordered some food and ate(it was tasty!) while watching Jormungand(for like the 4th time), I kin Koko so hard╰(*°▽°*)╯
I spend most of the afternoon trying to play a new RTS game I heard about since I'm very nostalgic for old Westwood's Red Alert series, but I didn't like it as much, and I also shouldn't spend that much money on a game right now(although I'm very impulsive with stuff like that so sometimes I do even when I know I shouldn't)
To be absolutely honest, I wasn't really vibing all that much with my day, you know? idk but I feel like I don't have a lot of willpower to do the things I enjoy right now.
It's kinda funny, while I was unemployed and had all the time and energy available to me, I didn't feel like doing anything, but now that I have a job I wish I had time, even though I know I probably wouldn't do much with it...
Maybe I should start doing less overtime at work, at least that's a start. But anyway, I'm trying to force myself a bit more to do things I'd like to, like this blog you're reading!!!

After that I spent some time playing Infinity Nikki, which was something I was actually looking forward to!
The game is simply really calm and beautiful, full of comfy vibes, you know? Just being a cute girl doing cute girl stuff.
I played a bit of it last year too, during a time where I was pretty depressed, and it helped me feel better! Picking pretty clothes for my character and taking screenshots of nice locations in the game.

I had fun playing for a while, I had also played a bit yesterday and I was able to get this really cute outfit, I added a picture of it to this post.
I'm not that far into the main quest, partly because I love going off-path and exploring the villages/the woods/jumping on top of buildings/ocassionally stopping to take pictures.
I like the concept of taking pictures of videogame worlds, I found out more about it from people who are kinda lika dedicated VR photographers and the idea seemed really cool to me! But I'm getting distracted and already switching to a different subject, so let's get back on track for now.

OH! OH NO! Sorry, I actually forgot but that's not the order things happened! This happens sometimes, but now I'm not going to edit the text to write things in the proper order that they happened... Yes, I'm lazy.
So you're getting this as a bonus for reading the full article!

After eating, watching anime, and playing the RTS game I mentioned, but BEFORE playing Infinity Nikki, I felt kinda meh.
Like that feeling of not really wanting to do anything, you know? Or not having the energy for it, or like none of it would really please you. Sometimes in the past when I felt like this, I would just do whatever to keep me distract and pass the time(not that I have completely stopped doing it, but I'm trying to be better.)
This time I tried to force myself to do things I had been meaning to, or at least things I thought would be positive. So I got up, kinda said fuck it, and went to scrub the bathroom floor with a brush to clean it, which is something I had been meaning to do but always found an excuse not to(I'm pretty good at doing that to myself).
I didn't do the whole thing, like, I cleaned maybe 4 or 6 of the floor tiles, but at least I felt a little happy about it, I thought that I could just try to do it like that instead. Cleaning up a little every day or so, to make the task less daunting, and also as a way to 'reset' my mood at the moment. Does that make sense?

After doing that, I washed the dishes and made myself some coffee, lit an incense stick and tried to relax by playing Infinity Nikki, to have a comfy time!
Now that we're clear on the order that things happened, I'll continue.

It was nice, played for a while, took some pictures(maybe I added somoe of them to this page as another bonus for you for reading the full article?), and one of my friends showed up on Discord after a while, so we chatted a bit via text.
That was good, I enjoyed it. We didn't talk about anything important really, she was just telling me about the gacha game she's currently playing and I talked about Nikki too, and it was mostly inconsequential chatting like that.
But still, I think that was nice! We have been friends for more than 10 years, but our relationship had always been kind of like 'just friends that play together and chat about playing together' or something similar to that. We've never talked about personal matters(and honestly still haven't).
She recently started being more what's the word, distant? So it was nice to see the two of us have a chat about things we are currently enjoying. Idk, I guess that's it, it sounds a lot simpler and boring when I put to text like this. :thinking:
Actually, am I oversharing?

Anyways! I am here writing this because the day is ending, and I am still feeling a bit, hmmmmm, idk, but something slightly negative, so I guess I wanted to use the opportunity to vent some of that out, maybe?
I also wanted to force myself to write and do something, since I didn't yesterday(was wayyyy too tired for it), and I didn't want this to become an opportunity for me to excuse myself again of the things I wish to do. I have a habit of doing that.
I don't actually know how to end this text lol. I hope you are all doing well, that your day was nice and that you're pursuing the things that bring you joy.
Tomorrow I will try doing the same.
