Anybody else feeling bereft? 😂 I noticed the downtime almost immediately, because I’d wanted to check my dashboard for anything due today. Fortunately, I try _not_ to have anything due over weekends, so my main problem is just remembering which goals need some routine data (so far, my breakfast goal and my teeth-brushing goal, otherwise I’ve been super lazy). Anyway, I thought it’d be a bit funny to dramatically ask what everyone else is doing while Beeminder’s down. I’m actually mostly gaming and reading: I’m playing [Clair Obscur: Expedition 33](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clair_Obscur:_Expedition_33), which is a pretty amazing game so far. I’d been noodling around not playing much of it, but today I’ve had a sit down and started chugging through a bit called the Endless Tower, which involves a lot of fights repeated from all across the game, with different combinations of strategies etc. I’m having fun, and it’s surprising to see how much better I am at the combat than when I first faced some of these enemies. Reading-wise I’m working on _The Butcher, The Baker, The Candlestick Maker_ (Roger Hutchinson). I want to finish it today, and [Bookly](https://getbookly.com/) tells me I need to read 1h22m ish to finish it, so there’s plenty of time left in the day. I’d also like to finish my reread of _Dreadful Company_ (Vivian Shaw), which should also take me around that amount of time. So I shouldn’t play _all_ day, but I can go play a little more… Other than that, I do want to pack up some stuff my wife can take over to our new house when she comes over for dinner this evening. I move from my parents’ house (where I’ve been staying since the disruption started, so I could finish my assignments/exams etc in peace) to the new place tomorrow afternoon. If anyone needs a little accountability without their Beeminder goals staring them in the eye, I’m here! I see you! Get your things done! And I’ll uhhhh try and get that stuff packed up by 16:00 BST? I guess? ---

Some packing up has been done! And a bit of reading. Now I’ve been pinged to do something with a friend in FFXIV soon, so I’ll set my book aside for now and see about some lunch. ---

I check the forum a lot, but I was away in the morning (it’s 16H30 as I’m typing this). Right now I found out that if logged out, you can’t log on again. Good thing my computer is still logged on. I practiced choir, but as it’s tied to Streaks and an automation will check if the task is finished in a few hours, and then log (if possible). I should keep an eye on that - last time I checked it was orange. Apart from that, my toothbrushing may or may not have logged this morning (schrördingers toothbrushing 😛 ). Apart from that, there are no other goals that need a lot of attention today, phew. I’m not much of a gamer, but just clicked your link and it looks nice. Maybe I should give Hogwarts Legacy a go again - I’m a bit bored 😅. My bf bought it a couple of years ago, but it wasn’t his cup of tea. Or I’ll just go back to playing Sims. This evening I want to log a good screentime rating (combination of rules that together mark if I used my screentime as intended or not). The only thing that still might go wrong is having dinner with my iPad next to me - but that almost never happens. Soon I’ll start cooking dinner, and then I’ll just have my fingers crossed if I can do some logging. Good luck on the reading and on the moving. ---

In between dealing with the downtime itself, I managed to get my Sunday beemergencies out of the way. I actually had a stale version of my dashboard in a browser tab, hence knowing what to do. Everything’s waiting for Beeminder to come back up so I can submit the data. ---

I have completed my two Unreal trial clears for the week, and decided to switch it up by doing it on Red Mage (I normally do it on Paladin). I didn’t distinguish myself, but I did okay. I’m gonna do a couple of dungeon runs with a friend, level my Bard a little, and then log out and get back to reading. I’ve already played a biiiit longer than I intended to, so I need to read before dinner to meet my goal. 😛 ---

Just realised that my goal for taking my iron tablet probably is actually due, so I’ll need to remember to do that. I take it on [alternate days](https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(23)00463-7/fulltext), and I don’t think I took it yesterday… In which case, first a snack. Can’t take it on an empty stomach. ---

Mostly it hasn’t been too big an annoyance, although one thing that’s annoying is that I typically track tocks by directly entering them into the goal, so now I have to write a note of them! (…which maybe I should anyway)
