Things are ok!

The first half of this week hasn't been as productive for Rhythm Quest as last week was, but there's still time to remedy that.  I was quite happy with how I did last week, hopefully I can keep up that pace.  Of course, it's already midway through September, so I do need to keep balance in mind, since I have my monthly pixel artwork, a good handful of birthday letters to do, and getting a head start on Christmas writing...On the plus side, I'm doing good on the 200 voter postcards that I'm mailing out next month, so that'll be one thing safely marked off the checklist soon.

Playing rando has been fun, as always.  Tonight I played a casual boots seed and beat all 12 of the people who ran it, by a margin of like 8-9 minutes...that's with like a minute of stupid brainfart timeloss too.  It's always surprising because like, I thought the seed was super straightforward, but apparently nobody else routed it the way that I did.  People just think about the game differently, I guess.  This is why metrics are important...

I started playing Silksong, too!  I wasn't sure when I was going to get on with that, but it's been fun so far, though surprisingly there's a very tiny bit of nausea when I play for a while.  Maybe that happened with Hollow Knight too, I'm not really sure.  Maybe this is just part of getting old...anyways, I'm switching to playing in a window to see if it helps, but it's really slight to begin with, thankfully.  The game has been fun.  I definitely feel like (as claimed) the beginning of the game is more difficult than Hollow Knight's beginning was, not that that necessarily means anything about the rest of the game.  I mean, it's fine, it's just...I guess, a little surprising, I think.  But fun.

Despite all the stuff I wrote before about wanting to get better at cooking and all that, it's...actually been nice to step back from the kitchen and take it a bit easy.

DDR has been fun too, though unfortunately something seems to be up with my layered nails recently when I play, oops.  Still, I'm glad I've been making an effort to play, especially today since I was unexpectedly dealing with some anxiety (!) and such.  I guess that's what I get for not having healthy habits last night (eating unhealthy before bed...) and having a random nightmare in the morning...

There are things to look forward to in life and I'm making some forward progress.  Really, what more should you ask for...?

I mean, there is always more.  I can be doing more work.  I can be a better person.  I can be thinking about more.  Doing more.  Cleaning more.  Cooking more.  But like, I can't do infinity things at the same time either.  It's just one step at a time.  More will come, with time.  Thing will get better, with time.
