Really didn’t do much today, even though based on my resolution from today it would seem that I would be more able to get myself out of bed and get moving (not develop a reliance on doing things to get me going). I didn’t even really drink water until very late in the day, it was extremely unhealthy. I played basketball gm for 4 hours or something, and what’s worse, I kept telling rescue time to pause, since I didn’t want it to cancel my game in the middle and I justified to myself that it was fine because I hadn’t played the game in a long time and thus I was doing something I wouldn’t normally be doing. That justification is all it is - a justification, not an inherent reason and not something that I want to do as a person. I eventually got my act together, wrote all the things that I wanted to do in things, and also came to the realization that if I keep my shoes on in the house, only taking them off when I know I’m about to go to bed, it’ll might help me differentiate work from work and play from play better. It’s something that I’ll try to do in the future. Japjot called and I impromptu picked it up, which is an improvement from last night when Mulan called and I didn’t pick it up. I was doing the Times brain games, and the less than game stumped me - I tried to brute force it but it didn’t work out. It was similar in sudoku, which is a similar style of game - I don’t realize when I’m doing something dumb (usually putting two of the same number in a row or column) — next time I play, I’ll try to make sure I check each row and column before I put a number down for sure. Still some things to do tomorrow but in general I’m pretty happy with the stuff I did today. My watch came, and I realized that I need to be wearing it for the watch not to die, so I guess I’ll be wearing it pretty often. I might have to get a different strap though, I’ll look into that. I also did Mulan’s jigsaw, that was pretty fun. I went to the Pakistani place (Tikka Mahal) for dinner, and it was fantastic food. I also tried to go out of my comfort zone there, as initially I was just sitting there quietly and on my phone, but I actually tried to talk to them even though i wasn’t confident in my Punjabi and asked them where they were from. It was good. Called akaash and Lucas as well. Didn’t end up reading. Getting the feeling that I’m missing something but it’s okay, I’m going to go to bed.
