A weekly status update from everyone’s favourite caffeinated weirdo.

Welcome back to Whatcha Up To! Coffee here, and here’s to the end of another week. Let’s recap what happened since last we spoke:

Whatcha Playin’, Coffee?

Splatoon 2’s Octo Expansion is GREAT! It feels like Breath of the Wild, but with Splatoon. Some of the challenges did frustrate me (lookin’ at you, dodge all shots in 30 seconds challenge!!!). Overall, they’re a lot of fun and very intuitive. I’ve almost collected all of the Mem Cakes, but I’ve put the cake collection on hold as I decided to progress in the expansion and gather the four thangs.

I did start an attempt at Beyond Oasis for the Sega Genesis. Haven’t made it too far into the game as of yet. Otherwise, it’s been a bit too busy for me to play multiple games all at once.

Whatcha Writin’, Coffee?

No writing on the story or the critique, but I did complete another Backlog Busting post. That will go up sometime this week. Progress on the publication of my first short story has gone very well. Fall can’t come soon enough! I also completed edits to another short story for a separate anthology.

I really should finish that critique. That will be the focus starting this week. I also need to get back to Mobius VII and finish what I’ve started. The break really has done me a lot of good, creatively. I’m excited to get back into the swing of things, but I must first complete my prior commitments.

Whatcha Readin’, Coffee?

Good with Words and my coursework take priority. However, one of my holds at the library has finally come through: Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea. It seems like it’s in the same vein as Legends and Lattes, so I hope I’ll enjoy that one.

How’s Trainin’, Coffee?

OK, so the challenge continues. I missed one day and that was Wednesday. Otherwise, I’ve been pretty consistent. Saturday and Sunday were filled with lots of walking and hauling kids around. On Monday, I put Little Macchiato on a swing at a park and dodged, ducked and weaved around her as she swung back and forth. It’s pretty exhausting. Tuesday was some lawn mowing. Thursday was more walking around (I was on my feet the entire day) and Friday was a proper kettlebell workout. All together, I’ve finished 11/20 days, not bad so far!

That’s it for what’s been happening recently. Anything new on your end? Let me know below. Otherwise, I’ll talk to you next week!
