 This morning was a very laid back day. This morning I woke up and made scrambled eggs for breakfast. Then the rest of the day happened. I think I watched YouTube videos for awhile after that and then played The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. I was able to finish the game and it was good. I got hung up on a couple things but I was able to finish all of the puzzles and complete the game. There are still two hidden achievements that I didn't get and I'm not a completionist so I'm not too concerned about it. I really liked the game, though.

After that I played more of Stardew Valley. I'm not really sure how I feel about that game. I like it but I get the sense that I'm doing something wrong. I also don't like how the energy system works. It is way too easy to run out of energy, at least at the stage of the game that I'm at, and I have to either eat stuff (that I could be selling for money) to get energy back or just go to bed super early. I could look up a guide and feel better about what I'm doing but I don't know that I care that much.

Tonight I started watching 13 Reasons Why, which I didn't realize was a thing until tonight. I read the books several years ago and let Wikipedia jog my memory. I think I read it along with a couple other books about suicide. It was a good book but also depressing, as is to be expected given the subject matter. The show does a good job capturing that. The main character reminds me a lot of me in high school, especially with the movie theater job, so that doesn't help. It also makes me just want to hug all the misfit high schoolers, and as my friend pointed out, that is really saying something because I'm not a hugger. I have one hug a month, which is with the lady who cuts my hair. And that may be over because she has been having some medical issues. I really only hug people I'm in a relationship with, and it's been a minute, as the kids say, since that has been a thing. Anyway, 13 Reasons Why is good. I only made it through three episodes because they're hour-long episodes, but I'm getting there. My only concern is that it is going to leave a hole when it's over. I have been feeling pretty okay about my life recently but with Remi yesterday and finding this show today, I'm a little worried. We'll see how it goes.

Now I'm going to record my audio journal and go to bed. I should have probably turned on the air conditioning because I think it was in the 80s outside and my thermostat said it was 78 in my house. I just turned my fan in my direction. And I have a ceiling fan in my bedroom so I should be good. I also think the weather is supposed to cool down this week so I don't want to jump the gun.

Anyway, audio journal time.
