Star Wars For Hours + Movie Night

---

Today wasn't so great of a beginning, thanks to an issue that actually started last night, but has now been sorted out. Granted, I kind of used it as an excuse to lose myself in the world of SWTOR, so that I wouldn't have to think about the whole ordeal. And I got a lot done, finally finished all the missions on the planet of Belsavis, which seems to always take the longest, due to having to maneuver around massive walls, demolished structures, and other huge plant life. Despite it being a prison planet, it's actually one of my favorites, graphic-wise, simply for the beauty of its flora.

I ended up having to ditch the game when late afternoon rolled around and started watching Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, which I didn't end up finishing, but that's okay because I've seen it before. I love the imagery in the movie, it is so beautifully done. 😍

My neck started acting up once again, so right now I'm reclining on the couch with the TENS unit, while the hubby cooks dinner: poached salmon, roasted asparagus and quinoa. We plan on going to seth the late showing of Death Wish tonight as well. 🙂 And that's all I have for today. Sorry it was so boring!

One Step Forward, Three Steps Back

Ahhhh.  So I now have this thing that I call my nightly "TENS Time," which is where I recline on our couch with my favorite TENS unit, just enjoying the feeling of electrotherapy on the back of my shoulders (since I can't put it directly on my neck).  I ended up re-injuring my neck last night, when I spotted a spider on the wall, yelling for Jacques to come smash it with a shoe, and then he proceeded to chase me around the house with it (knowing full-well that I haaaate spiders), where I ended up slipping on the carpet and hitting my head on the floor.  Obviously, it wasn't a serious hit, but it still did enough damage to set me back about 3 days, healing-wise.  Ugh, so frustrating!

Other than dealing with the severe pain once again, my day was pretty typical.  Except that I took the morning off to work on collecting some bounty contracts in SWTOR, since it's "bounty contract week" and I just now realized that there are some customized dyes available via collecting a certain amount of contracts.  I never really got into this event previously, doing one or two contracts and immediately selling them, because they were in high demand from other players.  But now I need 50 of them, and I think I'm up to about 8 so far.  I most likely will not get all 50 of them this week, so I'll have to wait for the next time this event pops up.

Anyway... I'm going to leave it at that for tonight because I want to fully enjoy my time with the TENS unit. 💜

I'm a... Grandmother?!

Sooo, I guess the most exciting news I have for today is... I'm a 34-year-old [step] grandmother. 😳 Haha.  I have no idea what to do with that.  Seriously.  It sounds so... weird.  In other words, I was just informed that the hubby's daughter had her baby this morning.  It's a boy, whom they named Dean Gentry. ("Dean" inspired by Supernatural, I think, since I know she's a big fan of the show.)  Hopefully, she will get over herself enough one day, to bring the kid by our house, so that her dad can at least meet him once.  It's a complicated situation, but at least he's being supportive, because it's not the kid's fault who his parents are.

All these babies being born within the past week kind of makes me think that it will never happen for me.  And even if it does... now his/her uncle will be older.  That's just... weird, also.  Haha.  Oh, this perplexing life I lead. 😵
