Dear Steemit Diary this is entry #3 for the Steemit Diary game, today I was in hope to wake-up feeling better and while I did I still didn't feel great, my eyes were still burning slightly along with the feeling of other mild Hayfever symptoms.

And with that I woke up slightly later than what I wanted which I was set for 06.40 AM but instead got out of bed around 7.30 AM.

First thing I done under this schedule was logged into Steemit and done my main daily tasks.

Once completed on Steemit I headed down and ate breakfast which was toast.
Once finished I went out to check on today's weather, not that I had plans for going out today as we are still limited on how much we can go outside due to the corona virus infection, but yet it was another nice day weather wise, the sky was very clear and the sun still strong but not as strong as the previous day.

After enjoying the weather for a while it was time to play some games, I have been playing a game called BlasterMaster for the NES it's an old classic which I never really had the chance to play much. The game is having a new updated release for the Switch but I already made the decision that I wont be purchasing or playing it.

Here is the trailer that I watched for it.

The one I'm playing currently had some exciting ideas at the time for gaming but unfortunately in my opinion the game mostly failed to put it all well together and so not creating the experience I was hoping to enjoy.
Still I stuck with it in hopes things would get better perhaps further into the game, it never did... and I was near the end so hoped to atleast complete the game this afternoon.

I done some other things in-between some household chores cooked and ate lunch and went back to the game later and completed the game at around 6.30 PM.

This gave me time to fetch a drink and prepare the computer for a video call with my father, we normally just talk on the phone and haven't really used a video calling service together in a good while.
But since I probably wont see him this year or until later in the year he as been asking to use a video chat service so he can see me.

I had to prepare a little for this as I had not yet the webcam installed since I purchased the newer computer and because normally I would use my laptops built-in camera.
But I wanted to do the call on the PC as it should handle online call services even better than on the laptop.
I guess less lag on the camera and better sound transfer quality is what I was after.

I also normally use a dedicated microphone to talk but wanted to test how my gaming headset would handle the task instead.

In the end the video call went much more smoothly than what I was used to or even expected, there was some trouble with sound but my father used headphones and after could hear us well.

After the call it was nearly 8.00 PM so it was time to make-up some dinner, after dinner I watched some TV but still with a slight headache which I started to feel just before the call with my father, plus my eyes were burning again it was indeed time for bed in hopes of feeling better tomorrow.
