Going green

 You know, I often wonder if those that cry to be more 'green' - if they truly are 'green in their everyday lives.  I am fully aware women can produce a lot of waste with tampons/pads.  I've been skipping my periods since 2016, only really having a period about 2x a year, if that.  (Mostly to see if I still have periods.)  I've spoken to my dr about this, and I got the go-ahead to do this before anyone says anything.  So my tampon waste is dramatically down.  I know there are reusable items, and I've tried using a diva cup but I am not coordinated enough to get the thing to work.  I still like wearing panty liners to protect my underpants from any accidents or leaks.  While I do have HSA and those things really don't cost me a dime, I've been wondering about reusable pads and if they work.  I found some online - you get a lot of 6 panty liners and a wet bag.  (I think you are to put the used items in the bag until you can wash them.)  I'm just storing them in there and I'll wash them in a clothes saver bag I have so I don't lose them in the wash.  While I still have some pads left, I'm going to trial-run these reusable pads to see if they will work for my needs.  Unless I'm sick, or something is wrong with me, any accidents or leaks are usually minimal.  I think these could work.  If I had a sewing machine, I'd just make my own.  But for now, I'll see if these will fit my needs and then I won't have to buy any more products - thus producing very little waste.

Couple of games down, beaten

 Earlier this week, I finished Last of Us part 1, plus the prequel story that came to PS5 here just a few months ago.  I've also been watching the Last of Us on HBO, which has been really good.  I didn't remember the ending - ending like that, but I only ever saw bits and pieces of the game when he played on his ps3.  Really good story.  Thoroughly enjoyed.  I was surprised when the PS5 tracker told me I only had a total of 15 hrs played to the game.  I thought I put in way more time than that.

The other game I just beat, was one that PS Premium had out as a free game, Star Wars The Fallen Order.  Now I have preordered Hogwarts, so I'm waiting until tomorrow to be able to play that- so I thought I'd play this in the meantime.  Very good story.  Did not expect that ending.  Now I'll be the first to admit, I'm not 100% knowledgeable about the timeline so honestly, I wasn't expecting to meet the characters I did.  Still just loved playing for the story and I know there's a sequel coming to that as well - but it's been delayed.  Just as well, because I'll be playing Hogwarts.
