i beat minecraft!

yesterday i woke up feeling even worse T^T i'm definitely sick, and the worst part is, it's probably covid... of course my dad who has somehow managed to never catch it ends up with it after one work trip and brings it home to me who had it multiple times during the pandemic. or, i guess, i assumed i had it multiple times. i took a positive test once and never took another test because i wasn't getting a stick shoved up my nose again. sometimes it really feels like i have the immune system of a baby, i always catch whatever comes into the house, even if it's something my mom brought home from school without getting sick herself ;3; i promise i'm vaccinated x3

anyway, i woke up at about 10am and decided to get up because my throat was hurting really bad and i needed a cough drop, which thankfully helped a lot. i was so excited like probably over a year ago to find blueberry flavored halls, i had a blueberry cough drop as a child and it actually tasted good so i'd been on the hunt for blueberry ones ever since x3 it's a huge bag and i just looked and they expire in january, maybe i should start handing them out like candy because i'm not going to finish this bag before then...

after sitting at my computer for a while, i decided i should probably go ahead and do the trash. i really didn't want to since i was sick, but i didn't do it the week before either, and going two weeks without taking it up when i'm supposed to start my period next week didn't seem like a good idea. i took the trash out and up and took a shower after, then started a pixel cat's end adventure i didn't end up finishing.

i'm starting to get bored of youtube, or at least my current algorithm. every video looks the same, sounds the same, is about the same subject. when i tried adventuring yesterday i started and clicked off of five different videos before giving up. maybe i just watch too much youtube in general and i've run out of good stuff that youtube wants to recommend me, but literally nothing seems interesting enough to watch lately. i scoured twitch for something to watch instead while i ate lunch (cheddar cheese ramen again), and watched someone casually building in minecraft :3 it was nice and kept my ipad baby brain entertained while i ate x3 it also made me really want to play minecraft myself, so i did that after lunch.

i ended up playing for much, much longer than i planned... it was past 5pm by the time i logged off >_< but! i did it! i beat the ender dragon in singleplayer for the first time ever! i did cheat quite a bit (by teleporting myself to the stronghold and giving myself items like arrows, plus turning on hitboxes), but i still beat her with my own two hands :3 i died a whole lot even though i was in easy mode and had enchanted netherite, and i learned that i am absolutely abysmal with a bow x3 it was still fun though, and i'm proud of myself for doing it! oh, that's another thing i did, got full netherite and enchanted everything! i also got a mending villager and may have given myself a bunch of emeralds to trade him so all my stuff has mending too :p now that i've beaten the game and have all maxed out gear, i'm not sure what my next goal is in this world... i really want a little horse, donkey, and mule family so maybe i'll do that. although it feels a bit silly for my goal after beating the dragon to be get a horse x3

i probably won't start until my mom goes back to work because she's usually using the tv throughout the day, but i think i might start rewatching bones soon. me and my sister used to watch it together every day when i was in high school :3 i've been getting so many tiktoks about it on my for you page, the algorithm is working overtime to convince me i need to watch it again and it's working... and apparently hulu has all twelve seasons which is very helpful x3 i'll be very shocked though if i end up watching even the entire first season, i'm really bad at watching tv and usually lose interest after a few episodes ;3;

for dinner i had an earth grown burrito bowl and all i really did before going to bed was do a few more pixel cat's end adventures. i once again got a business card because of my archaeologist... my luck has been so bad lately i could cry T^T one card every 23 runs is terrible and it's going to take me five years to get 100 cards at this rate. hopefully my luck improves soon and i start getting multiple cards in a row or even just less than ten runs between each card >_<

today i woke up feeling, you guessed it, even more sick. i'm coughing more and my nose is stuffed up, which might be the worst symptom of being sick ever. my cough giving me a headache doesn't help either ;3; i got up around 11:30am and decided to have a "breakfast" of strawberries and cream instant oatmeal. i'm not very big on oatmeal, i usually eat a few bites and am tired of it, but this kind is pretty good. plus it's not a huge serving which is nice as someone who doesn't eat much oatmeal. i didn't watch anything while i ate, just stared at twitter and started writing this blog post, which brings us to now at noon!

i'm not sure what i'm going to do today. i might jump back into papers please since it's been a week since i last played. i'm really itching to buy some new games, it's been a while (quite a while actually, december is the last time i bought anything on steam) and there's so many games that are new or new to me that i really want to play. in general i'd really like to play more linear and story based games. most of the games i own and play are sandbox, open world, and similar types, games where you kind of create your own story more than follow someone else's, or there's not a story at all. but then there are games i really love like deltarune, enigma do medo, or the last campfire that have actual stories to them. i want more games like that. the games currently in my cart are toem, oneshot, and endacopia. i'm not sure how much toem is really a story game, but it looks like something i could finish in a few hours like a short hike or turnip boy, both of which i also really enjoyed. it's currently on sale for 1.99 and the other two are also on sale, so maybe i'll cave and buy them before the sales end. endacopia i've already talked about, so i'll talk about oneshot x3 i've seen a bit of gameplay, but never the full game. it looks really cool from what i have seen, and it reminds me a little of undertale and deltarune with how you as the player are referenced in-game rather than just being the character you're playing as. i believe off is like that as well, it's in my wishlist but i'll probably wait until it's on sale to buy it.

if i do buy the games, i'll probably wait until friday to do it. the friend i sold photocards to is paying me for them that day, plus build a bear's halloween drop is tomorrow and i'd really like to get a bat kitty for my birthday! i don't know if i'm actually going to buy it tomorrow since i don't feel like it's as popular so far as the other kitties have been, but i'd rather have the money if i do decide to buy tomorrow than spend the money on games the day before. i think i'm also going to get the silly goose mini beans, it's so cute T^T i usually wait to buy clothes in-store anyway, so i can try them on and so i can use my birthday coupon, so why not spend some extra online on another little friend x3 honestly, i'd prefer to buy my kitty in-store so i can choose a pattern, but i planned to do the same with ghost kitty when i bought my pumpkin kitty, and they didn't have any (not like they were out of stock, there wasn't even a display). i would hate to wait to buy only to drive 1.5 hours and they not have her. i know i could call ahead to ask, but since it's for my birthday that's still a month away i don't know how i would do that besides calling once a week to make sure she's still in stock until we go. unfortunately i think my only option is to buy online to be sure i can get one T^T maybe if they do have some in stock i can buy one i really like and return the one i bought online x3

wow, i spent an hour writing two paragraphs. it's 1pm now, i think i'm going to play papers please like i mentioned! the goal is to finish the game (i'm currently on day 15 so only halfway) and get a few more achievements :3

update, i played for around an hour and managed to get one more achievement ^-^ i had to replay a few days for said achievement and i only got to day 17 so i didn't want to keep playing >_< i think i'm going to eat lunch now because i'm getting hungry, and i'm really tired so i might take a nap after. it's rainy and stormy which always makes me feel sleepy, and being sick doesn't really help.

i had a rosé buldak and diet cola for lunch then took a nap for around two hours. precious slept with me (i had been keeping her out of my room because of the whole pooping in my bed thing but i've decided it's fine if i'm sleeping because i miss her sleeping with me >_<), and when i woke up i carried her out of the bed and sat her in the sink while i used the bathroom, moved her to the toilet lid while i washed my hands, then carried her back to the bedroom and now she's laying on my lap x3 she's such a velcro cat, it's so funny. i feel extremely tired from sleeping so much today, i think i could easily go back to sleep... instead, though, i think i'm going to play some minecraft. after playing so many hours yesterday to beat the dragon, i need a short and calm play session x3 i'm going to do what i can to find a horse and a donkey!

i played for probably less than half an hour, i could not for the life of me find a donkey even after flying miles around the plains near my house, so no mule ;3; i did however find maybe the fastest horse i've ever had in minecraft... i named him racer :3 next time i play i think the goal is to make a little stable for my horse and his future family, and then i got a few more dried ghasts from trading with piglins so i might make an enclosure for those too and have a bunch of ghastlings instead of just bubbles! i feel bad that bubbles is tied down to my front door and isn't able to fly around freely, plus he has no friends T^T

i was looking at my steam library and there are a few games i'd like to pick up again sometime soon: wobbledogs, sensei i like you so much!, cult of the lamb, and cast n chill. i really liked all of these games, but i haven't played them in months if not close to a year. maybe i'll put all my incomplete games on a wheel and spin it every day to decide what i'm going to put at least one hour of playtime into each day x3 sensuki i might start over, i have my at-the-time main yumeship as the characters for the mc to write about, but i haven't been super into them lately or yumeshipping in general. perhaps i'll make a ship i like instead of a yumeship (even though that's the reason i bought the game), like guapoduo or something.

it's almost 11pm but i think i'm going to restart sensuki right now! i'll probably be awake pretty late since i've been drinking caffeine all day and took a two hour nap, so better to play a game than stare at nothing on my phone all night >_< i'm going to go ahead and post this though, goodnight!
