Thoughts, Musings, and Notes
For the past 5 years, my personal goal has been to get out of debt. I’ve realized that there is a level of freedom I won’t have until I’m free of debt. The freedom to choose where my money goes to in the present and future carries more weight than having to pay for something in the past. I got a small taste of that when the coronavirus hit.
It's so frustrating having people close to me go through poverty, homelessness, and other hardships. I feel limited in what I can do: I'm not wealthy, I don't have my own place, and I haven't learned enough about the programs that exist that can help them.
So as mentioned a few days ago, I’ve been playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons on a regular basis. For the past month or so, my routine has been to dig up all fossils, buy the KK album from the Nook Shopping app, then check out the shop and tailor. Well, yesterday I finished the fossil exhibit at my museum.
Okay, so not a missed day, but shortform. I'm feeling nauseous from having to ride in the back of a car today. Motion sickness is a bit of a new feeling, relatively speaking. I tried taking my mind off it by cleaning my keyboard (it had been a while). I think I just need to get some rest to get past it.
Yesterday while cleaning up around the house, I decided to change a few things just to spice things up.
Things are definitely different in my daily life. I haven't really seen anyone IRL for much longer than I'd like. Tasks at work have slowed down or changed dramatically. Things are starting to open back up, but I can't help but worry that it's too early.
I said I would do two, so here we are. I did not end up playing any games today like I originally planned, but I did pick a new one up that I've been putting off for a while: Borderlands 3.
Dang, it was bound to happen. Missed my first day in a row. I'll do a two-fer to make up for it (though, it will still only count for one day).
So for the longest time I've struggled with anxiety on-and-off. It was at its worst when I was in college, but it's still not gone today. The past week has had me go through a few different facets of my anxiety and I figured I could talk into the void to get a little bit of therapy.
Hooray! Yesterday I managed to install Linux properly. Thanks to several helpful people on the Linux forums helping me get the right things installed. I've got a basic setup at the moment, but I'm very happy.
