Good morning, and welcome to one more edition of WHY THE FUCK DON’T I SLEEP. Shawshank is working the morning shift today, so he only had 45 minutes between walking in last night and going to bed. Instead of gaming, I tried to be a good wife and go to bed with him. We both had trouble falling asleep. I woke up some time just before Shawshank‘s 4:30am alarm went off. I was not impressed. Unfortunately, nor was I sleepy enough to go back to sleep.
Yesterday was a repeat performance of Monday, as expected. Once Shawshank headed out to work in the afternoon, I played Just Dance. I played for about an hour, took a break, then played some more while dinner cooked.
Eventually, I fired up a TikTok stream and played Hades. I know I’ve said it before, but sometimes, you just need to mash the buttons. Hades also offers many more opportunities to trash talk my TV screen than Skyrim or Divinity: Original Sin 2 do. Someone tried to talk shit in chat: is this how you spend your free time? It’s FREE TIME, I can do what I want. If I was doing chores or working it wouldn’t be FREE TIME.
“Absolutely”, I replied. “How do you spend your free time?” This fucker had the gall – THE GALL, I tell you – to tell me he played games. Ah, yes. I see. The old lady should be spending her time doing old lady things. I won’t begin to define what these old lady things are, but they definitely do not include gaming or hanging out on TikTok.
Today, I’m going to turn human, and then probably game a bit. I don’t know which game I’ll choose yet. Whichever, it’ll be fun. Shawshank will be home in the afternoon, and I’ll decide if I want to nap.
