I can fly higher than an eagle for you are the wind beneath my wings

Welp, after writing the morning post, and after starting the chores, I fired up YouTube to find a video on the beginning of the Divine Brest that flies over Rita village – Val Medoh. I gathered some supplies that I thought I might need, then warped over to the village.

I had a test before I could start the beast. It wasn’t that hard and I got it on the first attempt. Usually I hate timed events, and I can never complete it on the first attempt. But nevertheless, I got it!

I think I only missed a couple of times. A few minutes later, I was standing on the deck of the beast, ready to tackle the puzzles. Let me tell you, these puzzles were a lot harder. With Crystal’s help, I managed to get them all in about an hour or so.

Then it was on to the Windblight Ganon fight. He was a little trickster, lemme tell you. He managed to hit me a few times, only because unlike the last fight, he moved around a lot more, and was pretty much a sneaky fucking Russian. So it took a little longer, but I managed to knock him down pretty quickly.

Thank god, for bomb arrows. I went in with about a 100, and I think I left with 65-70. I’m not too sure. But they’ve helped me twice now.

But when you touch me like this and you hold me like that

yawn. Good morning all you party people. Yep, it’s Sunday. We’re in the belly of the weekend. According to my weather app, it’s supposed to start snowing at any time here. The forecast says we’re supposed to be getting around 14-15cm of snow over the course of the day.

We play by different rules, north of the wall.

Yay. Snow.

Yesterday was a pretty good day, if you ask me. We got up, and had a damn good cup of coffee (or two), and we watch some Dateline. Crystal put her makeup on, then we took off to SlightlyBiggerTown. Crystal picked up some new comfies, and a really cute Easter bunny headband, gloves, and a tail. We grabbed some snacks, and moved on to the groceries.

We stuck to the list, which I pulled out (are we still not doing phrasing?) at the end, to find that we were right on. I paid, and we were on our way. We stopped at the weed store, and looked around. Crystal found an ounce that looked cool, and picked that up.

When we got home, we put the groceries away, and I turned on BotW. I had psyched myself up to do something crazy. After trying to upgrade, and getting a good nights sleep in Goron City, I travelled to Zora’s Domain, and (for me,) did the unthinkable. I started a Divine Beast quest.

To get in was crazy. I blocked as many ice chunks as I could, and destroyed the rest. After what felt like 20 minutes, I finally fought my way inside. That’s when the actual fun started. Puzzle time!

I will admit, that Crystal is the puzzle master, so she helped a lot. I wouldn’t have been able to finish the area without her. (She fought the beast after dinner) So hell she effectively did the zone twice. Once with me – giving me hints and a lot of help, and once on her account.

One down, three more to go. Still just as nervous! Even though I have one under my belt. We’ll see what I do next!

Oh hello, you’re still here. Welcome my friends. It. Is. Saturday. We finally made it to the weekend. I slept til the alarm went off. And now that we’re up, and have coffee, the big man, Chaucer, is snuggled up on my lap. He’s a good man.

Looking back on the past posts, I’ve been at the Flat for two years now. It’s a nice little space, with Crystal here. It’s not too small, it’s just cozy. It’s still cozy with two humans, and two kittens. It’s a slice of heaven here. 2 years is pretty good. I like the Flat, and I think the others like it here too.

Not too much planned today. Probably around 10, we’ll head over to SlightlyBiggerTown to get groceries. Maybe lunch. Ooh! I just remembered my plan, I’m going to get some steak fries, and the poutine kit. It’s going to be really good. If the poutine kit is on sale. We’ll see. I’ll be sure to report back.

We had our date night dinner at the diner in town. It was really good. I’m still on my flavour adventure, and had the club sandwich. I enjoyed it. It was very filling. 10/10 would order again. They’re closed next week for Easter, so I don’t know. We might go a day early. We’ll see what next week brings.

But before everything happens, let’s wake up with some Dateline, and coffee. I hope we all have a terrific Saturday.

Tumble out of bed and stumble to the kitchen

Holy shitsnacks, it’s Friyay! Finally. I spent all day thinking it was Friday, and now, finally, it is Friyay! It’s been a long week, and all that separates me from freedom is just a little thing called a 9-5.

I’ve poured myself a cup of ambition, and we’ll see how that works out today. I have Chaucer on my lap. He woke me up a couple of times by walking all over me. I guess he thought it was time to get up. Thankfully, I did my best to ignore him, and it paid off. The alarm scared me when it went off.

Yesterday, my subconscious was telling me, I could beat the guardians in the major test of strength. I googled, and I figured that I wouldn’t have a problem defeating them. I thought about it all day as I was at work.

When I got home, I got dinner started. When it was in the oven, I tried a theory. The plan didn’t work, but I defeated the first one with no real problem. I geared up for the second one, and it seemed easier. So I went and upgraded my armour, and tried again. It was a lot easier, still challenging, but definitely do-able.

I ended up clearing all the backlogged battle shrines. When I shut the game off, I felt very accomplished. We watched some CSI, and then we switched it to Antiques Roadshow for a little bit before switching to our nightly TikTok.

Hopefully today goes quickly, and without any major fires to put out. Happy Friyay!

And the days go by, like a strand in the wind

Ahh Thursday, the Batman & Robin of the week. So close, yet so far away. It’s bright and sunny out there. I was awake a little early today. I felt Crystal get out of bed. I think I starfished a little, but then, she came back to bed!

Once she was comfortable, I swear I had a dream where I was trying to come up with a new cocktail. I came up with mixing absinthe with Guinness. I called it a green toucan. Then I woke up. I’ll never know what a green toucan.

This will probably be a short post, because the fog of sleep is still around me. So I’m gonna cut this short. Happy Thursday, let’s hope that it goes quickly!
