The Michael Swayne Story V: King of his Castle

Some good news to report today. My brother is finally clear of the recent legal trouble he's been in after hitting that tree some time ago. His license has been restored, and his driving record is clean with no points. So now he no longer has to dodge the watchful eyes of the law enforcement. I think him working for the local fire department and police officers has helped a lot in gaining favor with the judge. After all, he had great reports from the fire chief, sheriff, and other officers ever since he started working on their vehicles. I mean, they wouldn't have let him drive their vehicles otherwise. He ever got to drive the new tank-like vehicle. (I wrote about it last September or the year before, it was on display at Old Timer's Day one of those years)

Now, if only we had some kind of news as to if the house is being sold or not. The real estate agent still hasn't been here to get pictures, so we aren't sure my Uncle is actually selling. I just wish we weren't so in the dark about it. I mean, it's totally unreasonable for him to sell the house, given that we did come up with the money. I am thinking he is finally letting it sink in that this recent winter storm has hurt a lot of people financially. My brother said that he'll stop by Grandma's tomorrow to see if she knows anything. I hope he brings home good news. I have been checking the agency's website for a listing on this house, and there's still nothing. I'm taking that as a good sign that it isn't on the market.

Even if it was, we would still try and buy it. The only reason we were making house payments straight to my Uncle was so we wouldn't have to deal with the bank. If we end up having to use a bank loan, we will do our best to get one.

I woke up at 5am this morning, and couldn't get back to sleep. So I stayed up and played Skyrim until it was a normal time to get up. I played throughout the day as well, though I did take breaks once in a while. Right now I am just working on completing some of the side quests I have racked up. It looks like the map is full of arrows instead of landmarks when I have everything set as active. I'm trying to clear the dungeons and earn that trophy. I'm a bit further back than what I though. I figured I was close to earning it, but it turned out I was only at 16 of the 50 needed for the trophy. I have leveled up some since yesterday. And I am planning on doing some Sneaking training tonight. I will finally make Sneaking legendary, and then I'll set up the controller to raise the skill while I sleep. In fact, let me start that right now. Just a moment...

Well, now that's done. I have already gotten the Sneak skill to 18, and it's only been about two minutes. Inns really do have a purpose, it seems.

I finally convinced Mom to watch one of the videos I made and posted on my YouTube channel. After that, I told her about some of things that should never have been seen. Like Two Girls, One Cup and the like. She then shared a few of the things she's seen recently as well. Things I can't really mention here. I also told her about some of the games I play on the computer, like Osu! and others.

Well, that's all for now. I hope to see you around the forums, and until then...

Later!

Michael
