Updates on my first day off in a loooong time

I thought I should start with updates from my last post since I left all my readers hanging. Or perhaps there were none and therefore no one cares about my progress on the dog park. Whatever. I will share anyways for posterity or something.

The Runnur. It is perfect, almost, and works exactly how I hoped. It will move around and slip above my shoulders when I pick up dog poop but it doesn't swing like a pendulum and therefore solves my very specific problems nicely. I love all the different compartments. It was a bit challenging at first to find the right spot for stuff but I managed to figure out the best configuration. I only have a few problems that mar it's perfection.

• Problem # 1 - I can't fold it easily so I can't stuff it in a larger bag when I go shopping. This is not a huge problem, I simply continue to wear it. It was a bit of a disappointment because I was used to being able to take  off my work bag and tuck it into another one when I didn't have to work. It's more of a physical acknowledgement of being done work, which makes me feel like I'm taking a real break. No biggie.
• Problem #2 - Keys are meant to hang at the bottom on the clip but I despise jingling & beeping (it's a thing) so had to repurpose another compartment. I had trouble finding a good one, but eventually settled on the tool compartment. The issue is that I don't think it's meant to be accessed continually - I average opening maybe 10 - 20 times a day if I'm busy - and the threads started to fray and get stuck in the zipper. Eventually I noticed a hole developing in the seam so I need to get it fixed. I am not much of a handy person so I am not sure how to fix it properly or if I should get it exchanged.
• Problem # 3 - My carabiner watch is more exposed to the rain than with my previous bags so I need to fashion some sort of rain jacket for it to keep it from getting ruined. This is a challenge since I have a hard time getting any project completed in a timely fashion, if ever. My poor watch.

Sims Free Play. Well, still no dog park but I did unlock the Salsa Dancing hobby which was exciting at first. However I am having a hard time winning all the awards and until I do I can't do the Break Dancing hobby. I shall continue on.

My 'perimenopause' is not 'perimenopause' at all. I have a fibroid in my uterus. It's not really serious but in order to keep it from growing and causing more problems my Doctor is keeping me on the hormone pills indefinitely. I didn't know anything about fibroids before, but apparently it grows from estrogen so once you get to menopause the fibroid may stop growing or even shrink a bit. Until that point it needs to be managed by reducing the estrogen in my system. Hopefully I won't grow a [bigger] mustache or start talking about 'tapping that' every time a cute girl walks by. The other end of the spectrum is a hysterectomy so I will take any pills the doctor recommends to avoid that, a mustache and machismo are a reasonable price to pay.

Anything new? Well it's my first actual day off in a long time where I have nothing planned at all. No visitors, no social events, no work scheduled, nothing. I even have food so don't need to go shopping. I of course have a crap load of house work to do but I can do it at my leisurely pace without stress and stay in my pj's all day if I choose. This is wonderful.
