Another slow day at work, though I was the only one working carts for most of my shift, so I still had a good amount of work I needed to do. I wasn't really sore or physically tired after work, but I was pretty exhausted, and I'm not sure if that's from just the work or from not having coffee today. I have a schedule for next week now, working three days. Also have my first paycheck, need to cash it still.
I've done the last dungeon in Heavensward, just have the trial left. Also spent some time getting some Irregular tomestones before that event ends and filling out the Wonderous Tails book I have; I actually got a natural 1-line on the 7th sticker (the very last sticker before you're locked out of shuffling). To explain, Wonderous Tails is a 4x4 grid of stickers and 16 tasks to do. Each task done puts a random sticker on the grid, up to 9 total, at which point you can turn it in for a lot of experience and the currency of your choice (gil, a lot of poetics, or the highest grade treasure map in the game currently, though that requires being at level cap for obvious reasons). Getting lines gives you an additional reward, either MGP (the currency for the Golden Saucer), or Certificates that can be traded in for items. One line gets you a bronze certificate, which doesn't give you much; just some minions and currency you can use to buy Materia (which in this game is just an additional stat bonus you slot into gear), but it's still nice. I'll probably take it over the 30,000 MGP, I'd like the minions. I also played a little bit of MtG Arena today, currently 4-0 with the deck I drafted a while ago. Not sure how far I'll be able to go with it but I'm still happy with the rewards I'm getting from it.
