Cue the Outrun music.

I had an extremely difficult time waking up this morning because it was very dark. It rained for hours last night, all in the early morning, and it was almost winter dark when my alarm went off so that I thought I had woken up at 5 a.m. I took my shower and headed outside and it was only 24° and cloudy, and while it's 28° now, the high for tomorrow is 23° and then downward from there. Next Thursday the low is 12° overnight! We were blessed to be able to open the windows for basically all of June and a chunk of July and we'll soon be able to do the same again.

I'm with [instagram.com profile] sashagee: I want a long, cool fall that slowly fades into winter. Other than this last bit of heat, summer hasn't been so bad, but I'm ready for the leaves to change. And so is Laila, since she keeps running around and grabbing piles of leaves and dumping them on her head. 🍂Emoji Kawaii heart

The first real steps of my fashion update have begun because today, I bought a white dress shirt. This seems perfectly normal but I've literally worn only black since 2017 (only black and gray since 2015) and a lot of my friends now have never seen me in anything other than black. [instagram.com profile] sashagee suggested fall colors--black, grey, dark greens, dark orange. Going to start replacing my wardrobe with more formal clothes and fewer cyberpunk assassin uniforms. As it is, I don't want to wear them around Laila lest she attack a $350 Demobaza shirt with her pasta-covered baby hands, and at least a normal dress shirt will be easier to clean. Plus, I have the body type for it. Still going to get the occasional piece like this one, though.

Haven't played Hollow Knight in a month or so since I'm busy catching up in Final Fantasy XIV and making a bunch of additions to Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead in my spare time. But I should finish that off soon and then do one of the small adventure games I've had waiting for a while, like Technobabylon or Coffee Talk, and then get on to Trails in the Sky the 3rd. I've been two hours in since I think 2020. Or Suikoden, where I've been halfway through since 2019! I don't usually just drop games like that. It's almost like a lot of stuff happened in 2019 and 2020 that changed my habits. Funny that.

Or I should do Dragon Quest I in preparation for the eventual DQIII HD2D remake that's coming "soon." Anything that convinces them to remake Final Fantasy VI in that style.
