Just a quick blog today as finishing off my game. It’s a very short one (I ended up entering the make-it-in-four-hours category as I ran out of time to finish my initial project) but it’ll be nice to get something out, especially for Hallowe’en.
A few things to look forward to in the next week. Going back to a Pilates class I’ve not been to since pre-pandemic, and volunteering at a race next Sunday (my first race volunteering! only volunteered at parkrun before).
Not much to report today, but I am still enjoying making my game! ‘My game’ now being a much smaller project than originally set out last month, as I felt I was getting a bit pushed for time with the larger project and these things are meant to be fun and not stressful. There’ll always be time to finish the original one in the future.
Another gentle run this morning. I hurt my knee falling over during the social run on Monday evening (I had my headlamp on but that particular path is fairly treacherous in the dark!) and have been taking it a bit easier since. Still got a cracking lump on the kneecap, and it feels like it’ll ache for a while yet, but it doesn’t seem to be affecting my running.
Getting more used to my Monday schedule now and feeling less strange about leaving my run till the evening. I hope that future Mondays will be a bit less distracting though! Between the political events and the wait for the London Marathon ballot, there are a lot of excuses to drift off and check email / social media / etc.
All of these things are also distracting me from Hallowe’en (my favourite celebration of the year) in a week’s time, so I will try and ignore them as much as possible. Work is quieter this week (so far!) so the plan is to get on with my Hallowe’en game and enjoy some spooky music, TV and films.
Wet Sunday afternoon so glad to be indoors. Short run this morning and now a nice quiet afternoon getting on with things in the house.
Also currently being sat on by next door’s cat as he sneaked in earlier and I don’t have the heart to put him out in the rain! Will keep an eye out for a break in the weather.
Week is still fairly busy but also still very enjoyable due to delving into my game every day after work. Not much to report but it’s taking shape day by day!
’80s playlist is back on today after a few weeks/months of videogame soundtracks. It’s a nice change but a bit distracting, so I might switch back or find something else that’s more chilled.
I really enjoyed a slightly longer run with the social group last night, and still felt fresh for another short run this morning. I’m slightly in limbo with the running at the moment because focused training doesn’t start again until December, but it’s a nice limbo to be in.
Both work and game-making are going slowly but well this week, and it’s looking like I’ll hit my goals for both by Friday *fingers crossed* – though I’m happy to do a bit of work on the game at the weekend as well if I’m behind.
I’m doing my run with the social group in the evening again today, so it’s one of those backwards days! Had a hospital consultant appointment by phone this morning (some good advice about my spondylitis flare-ups) but have mainly just been able to get on with work and game-making. Fingers crossed for similar days all week.
