Today was alright!  Not perfect, but we'll take it.  I can feel the effects of my good practices starting to kick in; today was the first day where I didn't really feel lonely and depressed, despite not having had anything like actually change in my situation or anything like that.  Which is good.  I mean, this is how it's supposed to work out!

I lost a little bit of steam toward the end of the night, but eh, it'll happen.  I managed to re-finalize/revise the heightmapping/charting for Rhythm Quest levels 1-1 through 1-3 and took care of the Easy/Hard mode charts for level 1-4.  If I can just do like another level each day that would be fantastic, but...we'll see, my work on that could end up being more bursty.

Doing good on the cooking front!  Lunch was green beans and then dinner was the leftover wood ear plus carrots, and then blackened tilapia served with a little bit of spinach and mizuna.  Tomorrow's lunch is going to be some mushroom pasta and then I'll have to figure out what I want to do for dinner; I've got a number of options.  I've actually got to go shopping closer to Wednesday or Thursday or so to restock on groceries, but there are still like 6 meals to go till then...

Also managed to get another page of writing done (less than I was hoping, but more than zero, so good enough), record my monthly Patreon videos, and take care of some more xmas shopping.  Had some quality alone time too, and played some (singles) DDR for exercise.  And another highlight of the day was just sipping on my aged white tea throughout the afternoon as I was working on Rhythm Quest stuff and such.  Helped provide some virtual company for friend, too, and watched the second episode of S3 of Hibike!.  Like I said, really not half bad at all.

My intent for the day was something to the effect of "work hard, play hard".  I think I sort of did a 4 out of 5 on that...some things came up so I couldn't fit everything in.  I think I did pretty OK on the "work" part more or less -- I mean, always more to be done, but progress is progress -- but the "play" part could have been a little better.  I keep pushing off like "quality dedicated" playtime to run rando or just do something else to that effect.  Maybe I'll just fire up a run of eletd2 lite mobile before bed, that's been a silly little timewaster of mine.

I don't really have anything substantial to report on at all, it's just a check-in more than anything else.  It's only a one-meeting day tomorrow, so hopefully a nice light way to get back into the swing of things after the Thanksgiving weekend...
