See ya never :-P

So I haven't figured out how to switch between apps on my phone without going to the home screen and tapping the app I am looking for there. Thus, I am inefficient. I also don't know how to go to the previous page in the browser. I could look up a guide on how to use my phone but that hurts my pride. So I will suffer through the ignorance.

It my last shift of the night job. One of my colleagues said "see you never," which is probably true. I live in a different city than most of these people so I am unlikely to run into them on the street. It is unlikely any of them even read this blog but in the off chance they do, I have a gif for the occasion. I have to copy and paste the link to it because the app isn't letting me insert it. https://c.tenor.com/I6bSd_xNoc0AAAAM/hooray-its-weekend.gif

My dad's taking me kayaking. I'm pretty excited. The two of us are certified paddlers and have a kayak each. I haven't had time to kayak over the summer, but now I do and he has time off as well. Actually, I'm uncertain about whether he has the day off or if he is 'cough cough' sick. While I don't necessarily promote calling in sick for leisure, we've had a tough time with my grandpa being sick and then passing. Kayaking should be nice therapy. 

Take care.

Kaput I say

My phone went kaput yesterday. All that it would do is blink this obnoxious light that I had painted over so that it wouldn't keep me up in the dark. I now have a new phone but I had to turn off two step verification so that I could login to my Google account. Having my sign in tied to a phone that doesn't work isn't helpful. Luckily I was able to use my computer to turn off the verification feature. Otherwise I would be writing this blog right now. 

I have one more shift of this night job left. One would think that means I would tell the readers of this blog what my job is now. Such a thought would be wrong. You will forever be in the dark. Just like I am right now. Because it is night time 😂.

I am now going to explore the features of my new phone.

Take care.

I'm nuts

I missed a couple night posts. The first night was me genuinely forgetting because I was enthralled with a video I was watching. The second was because I had accidently left my phone at home. But without my phone, I don't have time keeping capabilities so I had to find a new break spot with a clock. The new break spot I found had a box of FREE BOOKS. So now I have a new old book.

I enjoyed hearing about the Paralympics on the radio. Since hearing about a blind downhill skier on the radio, I realized that Paralympic sports are bad ass. I'm disappointed to find out there isn't broadcasting for these games. Ça va mal. Edit: The Paralympics is streaming on YouTube.

I would not want to take a punch from a person who operates a manual wheelchair. The arm strength to push yourself around constantly would definitely give me a bloody nose or black eye. I watched some clips of wheelchair tennis. When I have played tennis, I've had the luxury of being able to prep my ratchet as I'm running to where the ball is going. In a wheelchair, you don't get that. Your arms are busy moving your wheelchair to the ball's future location. Only when you get there can you get your ratchet in position to hit the ball, while also braking so you don't overshoot. Wow, just wow. I have such respect for these athletes.

It was my birthday recently. My mom took me out with some family friends for drinks. I tried a paralyzer for the first time. It's not my favorite drink but it was pretty good. My dad got me a computer mouse he had in his office and some teas he got from the last hotel he stayed in. Maximum effort from my dad there. Lol. 

My sister just moved out to an apartment. I saw it and it seems like a nice place. I haven't checked on her since she moved in so I don't know how she likes it yet. I'll be getting an update tomorrow.

Control just isn't working on my computer anymore. I'll watch a gameplay video from where I left off to see how the game ends. I have been playing Dishonored 2 instead. I enjoyed the first game and I am enjoying this one. I like trying for a ghost run, where I am not spotted by any enemies. Usually I have to retry a section a few times before I achieve that, but I'm a stubborn gamer, so retry I shall. I have also been playing Kirby's Epic Yarn with a friend on their WiiU. That's been fun, though the train levels frustrate me intensely. I am planning on playing It takes two with another friend of mine. I saw some gameplay from some of my favorite steamers and it looked fun.

That's my life in a nut shell. Because I'm nuts.
