- I contacted the place that I usually get custom ereader cases from, asking them what suggestions they had for an Onyx Boox Leaf2. I kind of expected them to say that since it’s a non-standard size, they don’t have anything, but turns out they can just use the usual dimensions for a Kindle Oasis, leave out the raised section that helps to accommodate the shape of an Oasis, and do it for me like that. So I’ve ordered a case for my new ereader from them, as I’d hoped to.
It’s KleverCase (also available on Etsy), and I’m getting one like this. Their cases are always lovely, and they’re really helpful when I have questions! - I haven’t had any reflux issues in a couple of days now.
- I found a YouTube video that shows how to make a tedious thing in FFXIV much easier.

- i’m grateful for my headphones. they’re many years old now, i think, and showing a few minor signs of wear, but they still work perfectly and still sound great. i almost never get annoyed by the cord, and wouldn’t change them for wireless ones if you paid me!

- SGQ: asking someone if I can help them water the plants; I love watering plants, so it was more like a privilege for me. The sound of it, the idea of helping a small plant to live… Everything’s nice about watering plants.

- SGQ: I feel like I did a very good job this week balancing move-work and relaxing, making a lot of progress but not completely wearing myself out.
- I discovered that I live very close to one of my favorite coworkers now and we’re planning to meet up and hang out to work in person a bit.

- i’m grateful that, objectively, nothing Really Horrible, No Good, Very Bad happened today. today won’t end up being my favourite day of the week, and i didn’t feel great overall, but i also didn’t feel Super Horrible all the time; and luckily, nothing Super Horrible happened that could still dull my mood for a few more days. (obviously i’m not saying i’ll feel Absolutely Awesome the coming days, but if i don’t, it shouldn’t be today’s fault XD)
- i’m grateful that doing the scans for work tonight didn’t feel like as long a time as it actually took (over an hour!), and as tedious, and that it actually managed to calm me down a bit.
- self-gratitude: early bedtime! (well, early for me
;)

- My new ereader cover is here already, and a thing of beauty (see below).

- Reading quite a lot.

- i’m grateful the folders turned out okay. didn’t see them yet in person, but boss took some pictures and at least nothing seems to have gone horribly wrong; yay!
- i’m grateful for always having great, accessible drinking water at my disposal here. water is unironically my most favourite unalcoholic beverage (and maybe my favourite beverage period). it’s great. it’s amazing. i love water!

- i’m grateful my cousin replied to my message today. took him a few days, but i’m the last person who’s allowed to complain about that. i’m glad he’s doing well/better, and hope that i’ll get to reply tomorrow.
- self-gratitude: i’m grateful i sent off an email just now to register for an online info meeting. it’s in the middle of the night, right now, basically, which sometimes makes me Not Send emails, because i don’t want to be perceived as [insert randomly generated adjective here], which is stupid. anyway, time is ticking for this, so it was either send it off now with a chance of still getting a place, or not sending it off at all. (i would have probably forgotten to do it tomorrow.) grateful it’s done!
- i’m grateful i’ve gotten my next beeminder journal entry to a point where it basically just needs another full read-through, hopefully! fingers crossed i can get to that and finally finish and post it before i leave for another city this weekend! (work-trip, and i very likely won’t be taking my laptop, so if it doesn’t happen before it would happen in early may at the earliest …)
