The horror of food robots

I spent last week alone at home, and it was the last week before the start of the school year. In honor of that, I wrote, looked for cover images, and played on PS5.

The first days of writing went quite well, but then I made the mistake of starting to look for cover images for my writings on Pixabay, especially for the one I'm working on right now that I'd most like to finish. The working title of which is On the Beach, but it has to be changed because there's already a famous book with the same name.

When I went through tens of thousands of images, my eyes didn't like it. I finally had to stop because I felt so miserable. It's also a shame that the time spent looking for images is taken away from writing.

So first I suffered from eye pain, neck pain, and headache. And the next day I started getting nausea. I even dreamed that I was vomiting.

So that by the time the school year started, I could be in a state of sick leave.

 

 

So, when you're already nauseous anyway, what to eat when food feels nauseating? Where can you get protein and iron on a zero-carb diet when all meat feels disgusting? And an empty stomach makes you even more nauseous.

On Thursday, I rushed to the library before closing time to pick up my reserved books. It was a bit annoying that I couldn't reserve one book because it was in the library, and it was still there the night before. But someone had already borrowed it that morning. Exceptionally, I took 3 books from the free book shelf, one of which was on my list.

And I was in a hurry to also buy socks on the same trip, since Clas Ohlson also closes at seven. Maybe it wouldn't have been worth it, the price of thermal socks had just gone up by 3 euros. 26 euros for two pairs of Heat Holders socks.

 

 

When I got home, I was met with a frightening sight: a food robot. Of course, it stopped because of me, even though I tried to walk on the other side of the road. It hasn't been many months since a robot followed me all the way home, it didn't dare to pass me at any point. Pretty slow food delivery if it comes at my walking pace. Food robots are so pathetic that I don't understand how anyone can use them.

 

On Saturday I would have liked to celebrate the release of my debut novel, so it would have been a book launch, but feeling unwell and feeling like throwing up prevented that. I had big plans: opening a bottle of sparkling rosé wine, having a few drinks and going to a bar, but no.

 

 

 

I thought I wouldn't be able to play Tomb Raider 2 Remastered without cheats. I had always played the (original) game before only using cheats. At first I had great difficulty with the controls. I switched to modern controls when I couldn't accept that the jump button was the cube. Then I had to constantly google which button did something, like grab a ledge or dive. When I got through the Opera house level, I stopped, at least for now. It's a wonder I even got that far.
