So after not managing to hurt myself on an overly long walk last week, I managed to hurt myself - I think - just sitting still in a goddamn car. I went for a supermarket run with my sister in law and nephew on Tuesday Monday, and realised at some point on the return journey, that I'd been sitting with my leg muscles tensed the entire freaking time. I don't know why. I'm usually fine in cars, so IDK what happened.
I thought not much of it until yesterday morning at work when, after sitting with one foot on the opposite knee, I stood up, and nearly fell over when I tried to take a step. I try not to sit like that much because it does something that irritates the joint anyway, but it's never been as bad as that. Then after work I went to Burnley to do some birthday shopping, and walking was...a lot of not fun. It didn't exactly feel like my hip was going to give out, but it did feel kind of loose? And painful. I don't really know how to describe it. Anyway, this morning, I woke up and it feels like I've got a knot of muscle in my backside. Which is fun!
I know it'll pass, I just wanted to complain. But also mention it because it's kind of daft that I hurt myself by doing nothing than by doing something.

Birthday shopping! I bought myself an A3 Faber-Castell mixed media pad, as it was half price in TK Maxx. I've been debating over getting one for a while now, and when I saw that one, I thought I'd better nab it before I changed my mind again. (Because that's the thing about TK Maxx - if you don't buy it when you see it, and you want it, it's unlikely to be there if you go back again).
I also bought myself Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga for my PS3, as it looks really fun to play. And also Pokemon Moon for my 2DS, as I've never played a "proper" Pokemon game (only Shuffle, Rumble, and Picross other than PoGo). I started playing that last night, and I'm about three hours in right now. I am awful at catching Pokemon, but this is not news to me.
I almost bought Ridge Racer 7 for the nostalgia, but I don't know if I'll ever actually play it. I've got a few racing games that came with my PS3, so I'll settle for those for now. Not that I've played a racing game in about a decade, but it is, as I've mentioned before, a genre of game I like (if not love), so it's nice to know I've got the games if I feel in the mood for them.
In FFXII news, I am very nearly done with the Pharos. I will probably get another (incoherent) liveblog up soon (which is still nowhere near the Pharos, sorry).
And then, because the weather was nice, I decided to start a new Skyrim game. Let me explain that: when I first played it, it was back in the early summer of 2016, and my brain links some games to some times of year. Autumn is forever Nocturne because that's what time of year it was the last time I tried to beat it. Summer is also, to some degree, FFVII time of year, and very definitely TWEWY time. But Skyrim time is like when it's warm, but not too warm, and the sun is out, and it's just pleasant. And the weather was like that this past week because climate change.
What that means, really, is I finally got to making my snotty high elf! She has bronze coloured skin and gold eyes (though she's blind in one of them, because I didn't know that was an option but it looks awesome), and has huge scars on her face. And it's nice when people mention Cyrodiil around her and I'm like, HEY I KNOW WHERE THAT IS NOW!
I also almost bought a second hand copy of the Legendary Edition for the PS3, and then was all, why am I buying this when I already own it? Added to which, I've got enough credit on my Xbox Live account to buy at least one of the more expensive DLCs anyway (but probably not enough for that AND Hearthfire, unless they're on offer, which they won't be, because Bethesda). So I'm probably going to do that, instead.
