Being all responsible and shit
We spent a good chunk of the day cleaning up some stuff in the apartment. Mostly Alex, but it's mostly his stuff, so... But there were a couple boxes of my stuff, books and things, that needed sorting through.
The apartment complex said they were going to resume doing apartment inspections this week, though we've not been given a date or anything yet. Those had been suspended for Covid reasons, but they sent out a notice about doing them again...
Of course, that notice came before two MORE notices last week: one stating that masks are required in common areas again, and a second stating that all common areas other than the laundry rooms are once again closed indefinitely. So, who knows if the inspections will happen or not. Even so, nothing wrong with trying to get it to something that's not completely embarrassing to think someone might see.
Also did a grocery trip.
I woke up stupid early, and spent the morning actually listing out the stuff we'd considered doing this week, and costs if applicable. Still not quite a PLAN, exactly, but it's a start.
-
And someone in a group I'm in shared a link to Mystery Flesh Pit, a fictional horror worldbuilding exercise about a former National Park that was built into a living alien thing below ground.
I dig the hell out of epistolary storytelling things, which is very much what this is. I spent about half an hour reading through it so far (so there's plenty I haven't read yet), but I really enjoyed what I did get through.
There are a couple posts in particular that I really liked:
- one that purports to be a scanned copy of a services guide from a resort that was located in the park. A lot of it is pretty standard tourist hotel guide stuff, but the little bits of info warning about the potential risks of ignoring safety protocol are super effective atmospheric horror imo
- one that is a scan of a "Wildlife Safety" brochure that was provided to brief visitors on what to do if they encountered any of the mysterious alien fauna in the pit. The language mimics official park brochures I've read pretty well.
-
Took a nap ill-advisedly late, but feel better after that.
Still have to figure out what exactly we're doing tomorrow... it may depend a bit on what the air quality is like (today was pretty good, so a shame it was the "do the adult responsibilities shit" day.)
