Well we can't be mad all of the time, everyone needs to chill once in a while!
And sometimes; you just need to be reminded that you can, in fact, chill and be content with where you are and what you have.
Okay, so that actually worked.
I have a cash back credit card. I don't use it much, so about once or twice a year I get 25 bucks put on the card. Since the balance is always zero (I only use it to buy stuff online, and only buy stuff when I have the money for it: I pay the card off immediately.) it kinds of stands out when I have a -25 balance.
A while back, my brother told me I could transfer from the credit card to the bank account.
Welp, between the new desk, and the steam summer sale, I tripped the 25 buck cash back, and had the -25 balance. So I paid my bank account from the credit card... and it worked.
Long story short, I got half back on my steam summer sale purchases. Which makes me feel very good.

That's the smart way to use a credit card!
As for me, my latest commission is basically done, just going to give it one more once-over before I confirm with the artist. Didn't want to try to rush that before work(saw the message like 5 minutes before leaving).
Also got all of next week off! Don't know what I'm going to do with it yet though. Last week-long break I ended up finally finishing my website build at https://bluescales.net but I don't have any projects that big outside games at the moment. Might try writing a bit again if the muse takes me.

I finished building the lego model of the Black smith shop, last night, but I still got a bunch of things I need to do for what I got planned, but first I need more parts in which I am waiting on still and reorganise some TFs near my desk so that its clear as I plan to move the lego D&D set there and build the other models of the 3 in 1 castle set (have two unbuilt currently stored under my bed), also I need to reorganise another part called a book case shelf of TFs with no real theming, stuff I want to do, but its a matter of doing it! Another thing that made me happy today, was getting my hair cut, feels better having shorter hair when the warm weather is upon us!
I had another sandwich!
I think they goofed up my order, because they added extra extra onions. But I am not complaining. I love onions.

I love my neighbors.
I got a new desk today!
Okay, so I had a hell of a time finding the pick up point, the mall around it was mostly dug up (stupid giant outdoor mall built by stupid texans.), and the drivers on the road today are half crazed between tomorrow being a holiday, tomorrow being the day where 35% of the population move house, and the looming storms for this afternoon.
But I got a new desk... now I just need to assemble it.
Edit: was down with a migraine yesterday afternoon. I got the to desk this morning. I am... slowly losing my respect for ikea. It's not as well built or designed as previous furniture. But I have a newer, slightly larger desk. Which means I can have my cat flop on the desktop without slamming into the keyboard.

Had the last part of my resent Lego order arrive today, all that remains is to start using the parts for what I want to do
I was able to capture a lizard in my room and released it to the outside without hurting him!
But then I read that they eat insect and stuff so maybe I should have left him in my room, aw.

I've been finding out some of the possible origins of Nursery rhymes & old childrens tales, boy some are dark and go WAY back to eras that were a bit more chaoic and that just what written, who knows their actual origins or true meanings and as I listen to the videos diving into the history, I learn stuff I never knew, for example, once upon a time people would bury a animal, likely a dog in a graveyard first before burying a person whose soul they believed would serve as the watchman and the dog to keep them company and that would be the first burial in the graveyard. Such intersting facts in these stories and while on the surface they seem like playful light hearted stories, they have darker origins and meanings that surprises one and some of these things have woven themselves into the English language and get used offen and yet, we don't think about it!
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F is like that comfortable pair of "bum clothes" you throw on for a lazy day.
Mix of the old and new, recognizing the passage of time but not losing the charm and fun. And good lord, a modern mainstream film with a gloriously 80s synth score. Might well be better than any of the prior ones.

I let geckos live with me for pest control. They're good housemates. They just ask for a little bit of space to call their own, something with some cover so they can hide and feel safe. I let them have that, and they don't touch my stuff. It's a good deal.
I met a very friendly dog today while I was at work. His name was Bear. Bear is a good boy.
A intersting fact regarding that story, the character of Humpty Dumpty, as we all know he is shown to be an egg shaped person, but before Alice in Wonderland came along, he wasn't shown like that, it was how he was shown in the book that made him into a egg person as the rhyme is FAR older than the Alice in Wonderland story and its believed to be connected to King Charles the 1st of England and the fact that he lost his head via execution but like all stories from time and memorial, there have been many changes!
What made me happy today, that the UK election is over and the party that was in charge, got their butts kicked and rightfully so and someone's comment on the party leadership contest to come was "Its like two old bald men, fighting over a combe!"
I got my walking error corrected on my game yesterday, and now it actually starting to look like a 16-bit video game.
A lot of these old tales have weird things and their meanings have been disorted over time and they can date back to medieval times, such as Baba Black Sheep and the cotten/wool trade, before the slave trade became a thing, even rocka my Baby has a bit of a weird origin, possbily coming from native Armeicans but due to the fact that Cameras didn't exist and people thought the classic cradle that you put babies into
