It's time for the annual-ish fight against the urge to start a new Skyrim game & dissociate for several months
Happens every time too many grumpy-making sitches collide with too much overtime
Last time I lost this fight, I got the game banned at my grandparents' house lol

Not an explanation of why this is on the list, but why I chose this one *today* is because I got Skyrim banned from my grandparents house one Thanksgiving because gpa was watching me play instead of refereeing the rowdy cousins 😅

Possibly my most millenial take, but "lost the game" should be banned from song lyrics
I rarely use the "radio" function on streaming platforms, and the first time I do in like 3 years, they do me dirty like this?

Flashback to high school shenanigans
At the mall we would sometimes play "get in the gap" where you had to enter the gap store, casually touch the back wall, & get back out without being greeted by an employee
It had a low success rate
We do not need to go back to that level of interaction

Well, if I had to get sick with fever and chills, I guess a hellish 90 degree October day wasn't the worst
I did keep the ac set at 80 so I didnt accidentally heat stroke, even though I still felt cold at that 🫠
Thankfully on the upswing today
