Thoughts About a Game

A couple weeks ago, a friend came over and we ended up playing a game called "Shit Happens." It is a card game that has various scenarios on each card, given a rating from 1 to 100 on a scale of awfulness. Some examples include dropping your phone in the toilet, car gets repossessed, syphillis, and walking in on your parents having sex. The purpose of the game is to arrange the cards on the "Misery Index" from lowest to highest, and the first player to correctly arrange 10 cards wins. Now, the game purports to have had experts rate the events for their awfulness based on things like long term emotional impact, traumaticness, and psychological impact, but I'm not sure how valid that claim is, and I know my friend and I were very surprised by some of the ratings.

The game is fun to play, though cringeworthy at times based on its nature. What really hot me thinking, and curious about other people's opinions, was mine and my friend's opinion on a few cards in particular.

Weekly Update

Well, this week has been okay. I had a really good weekend out of town for my friend's birthday party, and I used my day off Monday to basically catch up on all the sleep I missed over the weekend and last week on the crazy new shift. And so far, other than missing my Duolingo practise on Monday, I have managed to get all my daily goals done for May (yes I was late on cooking but I still did it). I have also started a 30-day yoga challenge and I am hopeful about being able to do one video a day for the rest of the month.

I'm not sure if the momentum will carry or not, but I'm going to see if I can finally manage to make some progress on my fibercrafting goals and my other for-fun goals as well. It's too early in the month to tell, but I have good feelings so far.

On the less than pleasant side, work is being a frustrating pain in the rear, and it's leaving me feeling both helpless and hopeless to boot. Now, it's probably not as bad as all that, but when the mood comes around it's kind of hard to shake. I'm going to try to retain my optimism, and still put in effort to helping things improve, but there's only so long things can remain crappy before I just throw my hands up and say, "F*ck it."

I do have another thing I've been meaning to bring up in a post, but I don't want to throw it here, so I shall try to remember to make a separate post about it. I hope you all are doing well, and I shall send you all some positive thoughts; perhaps if I send some out into the universe, some will find their way back to me.
Hugs and best wishes,
