Pain level - High
Skipped yesterday's post because of the storm, and not wanting to risk the power surging and crashing my PC and wrecking my ability to use it, as I can't afford any sort of replacement if that happened. Better safe than sorry!
Anyway, I at least had the energy yesterday to make the batch of baked beans that I'd planned on. I expected about 4 meals, and technically that's how much I made, but... Rac's parents, who live in the city, dropped by to ask how I'd fared during the rainstorm, and the beans were just about done when they arrived, and it would have been weird to shoo them out the door really quickly, so they stayed for supper. 4 meals indeed, but they ate 2 of them!
I don't mind. They enjoyed the beans and sausages, and I enjoyed a little burst of company, and it's not like I don't still have some dried navy beans in the pantry. I don't have enough tomato soup or barbeque sauce right now to make another batch, but I should be able to get them again relatively quickly. Then I can make all the beans, all for me!
Today, I spent much of my time in bed, playing Final Fantasy X. I made it past the heart-rending scene at the end of Operation Mi'ihen, got Ixion from the Djose temple, and crossed the Moonflow (which, despite what it might sound like, isn't a euphemism for reaching the end of one's menstrual cycle, and stopped in Guadosalam. I'm not as strong as I often am at this point in the game, as I haven't been giving much time to level-grinding (sphere-grinding?), but that can easily be rectified. I'm strong enough to keep playing without difficulty, which is the main thing.
