The Bookacy Family Alphabet Journal

This entry is a day later than usual, which was to be expected of course. Happy Boxing Day! Being Christmas week, there wasn't a huge amount of progress last week, though I did play and write a bit early in the week.

Now, since today has been Boxing Day, I got some progress. I wrote a little bit for the Davidsons (so... close!), but most of all, I played. I finished the Mendoza rotation, and sent four new students to college. I should yet post picspam on that all, but that's a task for another day.

One more week to go this year. No idea how that'll turn out, 'cause admittedly I'm still distracted by other games and stuff, plus it's New Year's next weekend. But we'll see, maybe I'll get a little something done.

Well, there was some progress this week. I've played the Mendozas forward, and they now have about a day and a half left in the rotation. Plus I've been writing the next Lakewood update too, that's not too far away from complete anymore. Seeing that the holidays are coming up, it's a question whether I can make it yet this year, but I might.

I'll confess I've been distracted by this game that a real life friend lured me into trying. I suppose that'll continue being a distraction, but I hope to still get something done simming-wise too.

Next week is already X-mas week, so I don't expect a huge amount of progress. But maybe I'll have time during the week, we'll see.

Happy Birthday, esmeiolanthe! I hope it's a great one! ^^

This week, I've been playing the Davidsons, that is, the first family in the fourth week of Lakewood. I just quit the game for tonight, and it was Wednesday evening then. It's going pretty nicely, today I built the next business lot for them to buy, and they almost have the money for it too. I did manage to goof and break a handicap yesterday, but oh well, I bet that was bound to happen at some point.

I'm somewhat behind in writing there, though not catastrophically. Maybe I'll yet caption a picture or two before bed today.

Next week will likely be busy in real life, so no promises on huge progress then. If I manage any, then that's already great.

Well, more accurately weekly non-simming I suppose. Last week was quite busy in real life, so I didn't as much as open my simming computer. There was some beer, some theater, some visiting the folks etc., which was all pretty nice. Some work stuff going on too. Plus it's the dark time of the year, so I get less done I think. Oh well, there's always next week. Or well first, this week. Shouldn't be quite as busy I think but that remains to be seen.

I was still in recovery mode for most of last week with the stomach bug, but in the weekend I got some progress. I managed to finish typing the next Lakewood update and posted it.

On top of that, I started playing the next household in the Alphabetia rotation, the Lillards. I managed a couple of days of them, plus I had a look at both the next Bookacy chapter and the next Villains chapter, even wrote the tiniest bit for the latter. I'm itching for plot and want to advance the writing, get forward with both stories, but it can easily become overwhelming. And with the apocalypse, there's both the fact that I'm still not sure how exactly to go with the plot, plus the fact that actually playing it can be really intimidating, because I don't want to mess up the challenge.

Anyway, I just checked, and the apocalypse chapter is currently on 36 slides, and the Bookacy chapter on 7, forgetting the fact that a couple of the apocalypse slides only have placeholder text, and a couple of the Bookacy slides are missing pictures.

So anyway. Still here, still thinking about stuff, still trying and still occasionally managing progress.

Only quite briefly this time. There was no progress last week, mostly due to real life business. Basically, the only day that I would have had time to sim would have been Sunday, and on Sunday morning I promptly got sick with a stomach bug. The stomach part is pretty decent at the moment, though apparently I still get temperature in the evening.

Anyway, so no progress last week. I hope this week would be at least a little bit better, but we'll see how long recovery takes.

Real life has been a bit of a distraction this week, as has Civ V. At least my neck's been in a pretty decent shape now. *knocks on wood*

I did play my TS4 legacy onwards a bit today, and I've been writing the latest Lakewood household. Not quite there yet, but not very far anymore either. So with luck, I should get the update out soonish.

Next week may involve some real life distractions as well, I'm not sure about how things will go. I suppose I'll have to wait and see.

Pretty good progress last week. I started playing the next (new) household in Lakewood, and got to Friday evening. So I managed to play most of the rotation, and I'm only about a day or so behind in writing it.

I think I also wrote a slide or two on the next Bookacy chapter, though right now I'm too lazy to open my simming computer in order to report how many slides it's on. Not that many yet.

Oh, and that TS4 legacy. The baby from the week before is now a child, so I did a little bit there too.

All in all, I'd say it was a reasonably good simming week.

Happy Birthday to mzyra! I hope it's a really nice one!
