Sidequests Week 45

A late update! Another cat with ringworm. Fun times.

This week’s were pretty simple, but I still kind of failed this week’s sidequests as well. They included watching or reading something that makes me laugh, writing a letter or email to an astronaut, and puring my closet of old clothes and donating them.

Finding something that makes me laugh isn’t hard, I rewatched the new Deadpool movie, and have been reading a book series called Dungeon Crawler Carl that does have moments that make me laugh out loud. But that was the only one I really completed.

No matter where I shuffle it, I don’t think I’ll be writing a letter to an astronaut. Reaching out to random strangers to bother them isn’t a thing I’m comfortable doing, even when I’m a huge fan or thankful for someone’s service. If writing to an astronaut to spread a little positivity is something you’ve never thought of but now kind of think is cool, the card does say that the mailing info can be found on NASA’s website. Browsing the site myself, it’s a little hard to find. They do offer their social media links if those exist. A google search says that letters can be sent in NASA’s care addressed to certain astronauts, but that particular address is provided as answer to a question from 1998 – it could still be valid, I suppose. It actually kind of sounds like this is a bit harder to complete unless I choose an astronaut first, do a bit of cyberstalking, and then use the contact information on their personal sites or DM them through social media.

The clothing purge is a bit harder as well because I’ve already done it from another deck earlier in the year and I’m not the sort of person that owns and buys loads and loads of clothes. I have some clothes that are close to falling apart, but I would feel donating something like that.

So kind of a fail week, after a missed week. Kind of reminds me how it became harder to stay on top of the writing challenge at the end of last year as well.
