Ikr!?
Nah, I used to wear earbuds with music from an MP3, but nowadays I use music from my tablet on the night stand beside my bed, which means I need to be able to hear the music, but thanks for the advice anyway!
Oofers
I don't like naps, tbh. It often takes me a long time to fall asleep, and it's hard to wake up sometimes, so a nap wouldn't work





Last night was great! Idk if there was no construction or I just got to sleep quickly enough before it, but I slept really well! Woke up RIGHT on time, too! Made pizza from a box for my dad and I (my mom was out having dinner with her friends and my sister was working, so we let my sister make her own when she was done so it wouldn't get cold before she came down). Chatted with my dad a bit. Then! Watched an AMAZING movie called Kpop Demon Hunters with my mom and sister! I cleaned the kitchen, made my mom's lunch (for two days worth because I work tonight so I won't be able to make it for tomorrow). Then I got right to downloading the songs from the movie, plus covers of the songs! Also! I watched some stuff on Pokemon Legends ZA, which revealed some stuff that I am hyped for! I spent pretty much the rest of the night watching edits and the like about Kpop Demon Hunters!


I work tonight, then I'm going to a breakfast restaurant and then going sailing!

Hello everyone! How are you all? I'm supposed to be writing an essay but am just distracting myself instead lol

[npixelz]

Ello ello ello! How's it going? Also I feel that

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Pizza from a box? What is that? Like a frozen pizza?

Going sailing!?! What size of a boat? Are you going to help crew? Did you get to pull on the sheets to trim the sails??

[npixelz]

Tis storebought frozen, ye.

Tis a small vessel, but not too small. It had an interior, and a seating area exterior at the back, with shade and the wheel and all. It has a bedroom, a washroom, a kitchen, and storage space. It has both a sail and a motor (motor is for when there's not enough wind).
Not only did I get to help with the sails, I got to pilot it for awhile! The owner (a family friend) took us out, and piloted it for a bit, but then let me pilot for quite awhile! Wasn't much wind, but at one point we hit 5.2 maybe 5.3 knots! (I believe knots is what it was). And that was while sailing, with the motor it was faster. I also brought it back in to the dock, and the owner finished the very last bit. I got to wear the captain's hat, too! It was really fun! And they all seemed impressed by how well I did! And I wasn't even nervous! I was at first but I was quickly over it, joining in conversations, making jokes, looking at the shoreline to see the sights, twas truly fun!
Then we had a barbecue of borgors and salad ( though I didn't have the salad, as I don't like salads that much and it had croutons, which I really don't like). Then the he gave us honey from his beehives, and gave each of us (my mom, dad, and I) a small rubber ducky with a captain's hat and sunglasses


Then I got home and pretty much immediately went to bed! Was in bed by 4:30 pm, woke at 1:30 am! Hopefully my sleep schedule doesn't suffer too much!

But ye! That was my adventure!


And now I will give yall a recommendation/piece of advice; if someone is going somewhere to do something you don't normally do, and invites you (or you can tag along with) or you see an opportunity to do something you don't normally do, I think you should go for it! Not every time, but try to keep an open mind and an adventurous spirit! You never know what things you might enjoy even if you do it just once! Sometimes breaking up the usual routine, while scary, can be a good thing!


Anyway, that's just my two cents! It's up to you what you do!

[galled]

An adventure!

I've noticed being out on a boat wipes me out (sleep necessary soon after).

Great advice!!

[Lemon Cheesecake]

That's a great recommendation, Npix.
I agree, because you never know what benefits lay ahead for us or when the opportunity will come back again - if ever.
And I think too often we let our fears keep us from experiencing new things because it is out of our comfort zone.

Yipee! You did an amazing job with handling the boat too by the sounds of it. People have to go for training & testing to be able to control & get their license for a boat that size & it isn't as easy as you would think. I took lessons years ago but I was always nervous. I have family members who have gotten their license as my Dad used to have a boat at one time.
I also think if you can handle a boat you should be able to handle driving a car as well, ( I think you didn't get your drivers license yet?), maybe something to look into if you haven't already. I know you are within walking distance or bus service for work but it might come in handy one day to drive.

[npixelz]

Indeed!
I feel that! Also for me, hanging out with friends leaves me drained, I think it's my social battery running out?
Thanksy!





I try!
Exactly!
Indeed!

Yeah, it was (quite literally) smooth sailing! I can imagine!
Probably yeah, but I'm nervous, also we don't have room for another vehicle. It might help if I got a license tho, since then I could go places without needing a ride. Something to consider, for sure!





Last night was good! Woke a little late, had pasta for dinner, walked the dog, cleaned the kitchen, did some chores, all that good stuff!
Played games, chatted on Discord, listened to Kpop Demon Hunters music, did some quizzes, and had a good time!


Now tonight I'm hoping to rewatch Kpop Demon Hunters! Other than that, who knows!? Maybe go to the closest Spirit Halloween store?

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Lots of Halloween stuff in the stores now.
