Sunday Post #433: Winter Break


Welcome to The Sunday Post hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer, where I talk about what is going on in life and the blog, and show you all the bookish things I got that week!


What I've been doing:

I have the next two weeks off from work and I am so happy 😌 I'm exhausted, ya'll 😅 This week was pretty fun though. Lots of fun Holiday things going on at the school I work at. On Friday the kids had their Christmas party in class and they decided to make a "candy salad" and "chip salad" 😭 My teeth hurt just by looking at that bowl of candy 😂

 

And I spotted another fun ugly sweater design, also by one of the 5th graders...


I love these kids 😆


In other news, I also got this super cute Sims 4 t-shirt! And I got a cute Grim Reaper plush too!

What I've been watching:

This week I caught up on Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War. I've read this arc of the manga so I already know what happens, but I'm still enjoying it!


What I've been listening to:


"I wrote this song to shine a little light on how people experience love differently, and how love treats people differently. Love is a super complex emotion, some of us think "Oh it's great", and some of us roll our eyes. Now, MORE SPECIFICALLY, this song's lyrics are about a person who doesn't have a great relationship with love, and then meets someone new, a crush, or new relationship." -Unlike Pluto

What I've been playing:

I haven't played much lately because life has just been so busy with work and stuff, but I did play a little bit. I've been mostly playing in my save file where I was working though the events. This family:

 

Was from when I did the Reaper's Rewards event, but I loved them so much I'm continuing to play and just working my way through the new Life & Death pack.


That picture in the upper right corner cracks me up 😂 They were having some issues in their relationship, so I forced them to go on a date to fix it, and I guess they were outside in the cold too long because they both almost froze to death 😂 I was desperate, okay? Lol.


And these guys are from the same save file, but different household! I was using the Sim in the red for the new Cozy event that was all about holidays! It finished this week and it was so much fun! I have plans for both of these families, so I'm definitely going to continue playing in this save.


And I played a little bit of my legacy file, and as soon as I loaded into the save my heir's mother died 😭 She died of old age so, you know, it was coming. But still. Anyway, here you'll see her dad passing on a keepsake box. Next time I play in this save file I plan on having a funeral for the mom.

  1. All your Sims fun has me talking about getting a laptop just to play it on. And that means now those are popping up in my Facebook ads, lol. Hope you have a nice break, I'm looking forward to two weeks away from school! Although technically we come back the first Friday in January for a work day. Happy holidays!
