Hi everyone!
Alright! I need to stop playing Skyrim!
Because it is literally taking up my whole day. I start at 8AM in the morning, and besides taking care of the baby bird, all I do throughout the day is play Skyrim. Though I can’t seem to find the button that uninstalls it but that’s fine.
So now, I’ve taken to gaming in a different (more constructive? To my brain?) kind of way. I’m now writing the story I want to play in Skyrim. So writing like a fanfiction, but not as the Dovakinn (Is that spelled correctly?). I’m writing the story as a budding alchemist. My character, who is a redguard named Isolde, has in fact escaped from Helgen, but she’s not the adventuring type. She grew up in an orphanage in Hammerfell shortly after her Dad passed away when she was eleven. Her dad however was a Master Alchemist. Of course she lands in Skyrim with very little. And loses what she had after Helgen. Now she has to carve out a living for herself with the menial tasks of honest work…picking crops, chopping wood, and in the meantime, experimenting with alchemy using anything and everything she can find for free in the wild.
Though I suspect Arcadia in Whiterun might have her act as her apprentice for a while – oh but those Battle-Borns and Gray-Manes, they’re nothing but trouble in Whiterun. Except for Jon Battle-Born, who she seems to form a friendship with.
With the war raging ever closer, will she decide to stay in the city? She’s certainly not the cave-dwelling, crypt-raiding type. No, she has to survive the war in a different way. In the commoner way. Might go out into the woods to stay in a cabin, or maybe a lumber mill, or a small town like Rorikstead…
And this time, when the guard tells me: "I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee..."
I can reply with: "Adventurer? Me? Are you kidding?"
Anyway, that’s where the written story is going.
I did intend for the explanation to only be a paragraph…LOL.
I just find that playing the actual game is taking up too much of my time. And I think that writing it in story form is more ‘engaging’ for my brain I suppose? Alright, playing the game was also obviously very engaging, that’s all I’ve been doing for the past week for entire days! I’m not proud of that. Even though I have been doing my daily chores too. The amount of daydreaming going on is making me anxious.
Anyway, here’s today’s plan.
I’ll be doing a Yin Yoga class later in the afternoon.
Going for my walks, and this is the plan food-wise.
Breakfast – Usual coffee.
Lunch – Strange combination but, I have this TVP mince that’s beef flavored, a ton of the stuff. So I make that but add very little water so it becomes very thick. And then I put that on a salad. Very usual salad with lettuce, tomato and cucumber, and then top it with reduced fat mayo and light greek dressing. It sounds odd but its sooo delicious. It’s a combination of salty, fresh, warm and cold. It’s just yum.
Dinner – Will probably be TVP mince again, this time as a filling in two steamed potatoes.
Snack – Banana and Peanutbutter.
