This replying all came late due to me getting distracted and busy irl some.
My year older nephew Travis has been now a week gone (plus a couple days as he left April 29th to do his vacationing thing with his college friends they all love to do.)
I been hanging out with my family more which gives me mixed feelings mostly that of "why couldn't our family hang out more like this back then, so I would hopefully know a lot more people?" (although in reality it's more family I do know with random visits of ones I do not time to time that the older siblings know.) All the same it's been great going to hang out more, but sadly with scheduling they got I have to remind them some time later after Travis is back from his vacation that we have our D&D Sundays that normally go until 6pm with our friends here. (mostly cause atm our games are canceled until Travis is back, and my family went forgetting we even got that due to the last ones been I'm free to come over earlier to hang out for we had no D&D.)
But to make up for lack of D&D I got into the MMO on xboxone Neverwinter with other friends of mine where I enjoy breaking the brains of people playing a Drow Paladin in the Oathkeeper skills tree. (other then him I got my Dwarf Barbarian, ex-pirate of the Blue Dawn background Tiefling Warlock *which ironically our group did a session about being of the Blue Dawn before, only back then I was a Bollywog which isn't a race in the MMO yet if it ever will be as they update*, & final one atm I got *as I'm slowly getting Astra to trade for Zen method for I do plan to get other races you have to buy* is a half orc thief. After Zen is got idk if I want to get the Aasimar race for a full go cleric healer to take over being the healer for my friends, or go crazier and do the reroll after on the drow to make them an Aasimar Paladin instead as they have more outward healing boost.)
All same moving on that's all been going on for some stuff, and we don't really need me talking all my plans for an MMO for I got many for many MMOs I'm in. sweatdrop
For pet things our fence is planned to be built for the dog sometime this Summer once Travis returns so we can decide on front or back yard more for the dog & then our little mutt butt Sasha can run amok outside longer like she wants to do and I wont have to worry too much about the shitty avenue people. (I got beefs with all of them as they go from good people some to there is arseholes whom will go in the alley out back and break a car's windows that is back there in the back yard just cause they flapping can.)
We're probably building the shelves for the cats by then too with me debating on having my bedroom be the room of that for my door is mostly always open (unless I got to change or am blocking people out due to being really sick.) Mostly for I got no fancy decorations around in it other then my shelf of DVDs/video games/books/handheld game consoles/decorations mixed.
And speaking of that car in our back yard case I recall why I highly dislike this home I got even more (apart from that.) As we just replaced our front porch's outside light just two days ago and it's not turning on again now suddenly, and as Summer comes it's a reminder having our fans on then microwaving/air frying anything blows the fuse out with this house so we got to go reset all our power which is also a hoot when it's fraken hot prep for summer time temps. So that's all fun. gonk |

All good! I'll probably be busy around early August, some fam is coming out to visit and vacation, so I get it. The beau will probably be working most of the days they're here, which means I'll be the one available to play tour guide and host. (And lend them a car key so they don't have to rent something to go places that are further than walking distance.)
Ooh, Neverwinter! We still have a physical copy of the older Neverwinter game, Neverwinter Nights. Or, well, at least one of the expansions for it, I'm not... completely sure if we have the base game. I know we used to have it, not sure if it's the one on the shelf or if we lost (old college roommates stole) it. I've never played it, but I remember the beau sinking a lot of hours into it.
I only have room in my life to be dedicated to one MMORPG, though, and that's FFXIV. ^^; Plus I've never liked how the duty or truly multiplayer content is handled in other MMOs; I'm a solo player, and don't have the spoons for much interaction (especially communication) with strangers. FFXIV's duty system makes it easy for solo people like me, though, so it's earned my sub with that alone.
(I'll leave my XIV talk at that, I can ramble for ages about it otherwise.)
Nice! It'll be a good time for the pupper to be outside, warm and sunny and who knows how many insects to chase and terrorize. And I've not doubts the kitties will be pleased with their new playing and lounging space regardless of the location.
Oh dear, does the bulb need re-tightening in the socket, or do you think it's wiring? Honestly, electrical problems are the worst. It's the category of home repair I know the least about, and the easiest to screw up in a big way. Used to live in an OOOOOLD trailer with fuses that literally aren't made anymore, so when one went out we were just about sunk, the only thing that saved us is one of the local hardware places had one sitting around in storage that they managed to find. But then later something screwed up the wiring in literally half the place, and we had an actual certified electrician come in to try to help (a neighbor, he did it for free, we never could have afforded to pay someone for it) and even he couldn't figure out the problem. It was not fun trying to juggle outlets and circuits to run our appliances and electric heater in cold weather... |

It'll be nice to have the fam up to visit. I know they really wanted to come out around Christmas, but health issues and travel costs made that impossible. (We ended up video calling with them, instead, since it was literally the first Christmas the 'rents had without us.)
(What's also nice is we have an ultimatum out that only the family we WANT can stay with us; no unwanted visits from aunts who only want a free place to stay while they spend every day hanging out doing tourist stuff.)
Yeah, I'm sure Neverwinter will be WAY different now. The physical game we have (Neverwinter Nights 2; the original really has gone missing) can't even be played online anymore. I think my beau also played the MMO way back in its infancy, like 2013-ish when he was still doing post-secondary. I'm SURE the rulesets at the least are different, Neverwinter Nights 2 used 3.5e, and fourth edition came out the next year after that game.
Oh, going on walkies would be lovely! There are actually some studies that suggest walking a pet is good for mental and emotional health as well as the obvious physical health benefits. It's also very good for socializing, because people are much more likely to approach a person out with a pet than they are someone out on their own.
(This works with cats as well as dogs; I actually have a lead and harness for my boys, though only one of them actually likes going out for walks. It took a long time to acclimate them to the harness, and even a bit of chill outside will make Shima turn right around to go back inside, but he LOVES all the attention he gets when he's out and about.)
That's a pretty old house, wow! The house my grandfather lived in was old, but I don't think it was THAT old. Old enough that since they always kept their refrigerator in the same place, the floor rotted out from under it, and I don't think he had central air or heat (I remember being relegated to the attic room a lot when we visited, and it was always sweltering in the summer), and one of the rooms was carpeted with sample squares that looked to be straight out of the sixties, but I don't think the wiring was weird or anything. Houses from the 30s and 40s that haven't had any electrical updates, though, usually have... quirks, to put it nicely.
I hope you figure out a fix for the outside light too, though! Having no light is like the bane of getting food delivered, I swear. One of our old apartments, all the outside lights went out on our side of the building, so drivers literally refused to come to our door, we always had to meet them in the parking lot. And then our last apartment, not sure what we'd have done if we didn't have our balcony light, drivers could never seem to find our building unless we had the light on and put in a note about it for them. So, yeah, outside lights are kind of a big deal, super frustrating when they're not working correctly! |
