What with feeling like I was coming down with something yesterday, it turns out I was correct to not attempt the 2.5-3 hour drive to go visit my parents as I had originally intended. Because I have indeed come down with something and it really sucks.
I think it's just a bad cold rather than anything more debilitating, but it's uncomfortable and unpleasant. Still, I've been fairly relaxed today and hopefully I'll feel a bit better in the morning if I get a decent night's sleep.
Andie has spent the majority of the day remodelling the spare room; I'm sleeping in there tonight so I 1) don't give her the plague if I haven't already 2) don't keep her awake with my old man cough and complaining and 3) can starfish in the bed as much as I want.
The remodelled room looks great, and it's fixed a couple of problems we've been trying to solve for ages: how we might be able to squeeze some more space for video games in the living room, since the existing shelves are getting a bit full, and what to do with the ample collection of board games I have that don't get played that often because my local IRL friends all had kids and became boring. Short version: the board games are now upstairs in the spare room, leaving a decent amount of wall space free to put more video game shelves in as and when we need to. Hooray!
We watched Metal Jesus' new game room tour video earlier, and we both liked the idea of a handheld display shelf — MJ has all his handhelds on special stands as "display" pieces, so we might try and do something like that. He also showed the genius idea that is putting individual cables in individual labelled ziplock bags… why the hell didn't I think of this before my Cable Box of Doom (you know what I mean, we all have one) got into quite such a state? Coulda woulda shoulda and all that.
Anyway. Haven't got much "productive" done today due to illness, but I have a whole week ahead of me to enjoy, so I don't feel bad. Hopefully I'll feel a bit better in the morning so I can get a bit more stuff done and perhaps a vlog if I feel up to it. In the meantime, though, I think it's probably time to hit the hay. Thanks for all your support this week, and I hope you enjoy the new feature on LAMUNATION!
