  2. The cats want to cuddle more now the weather’s cooling down

  • i’m grateful that this week has been very fun and exciting.
  • i’m grateful that my bookbinding homework turned out quite decently, all things considered. (and also that it didn’t take me the whole day.)

  1. My textbooks for my new courses arrived.
  2. Patch 6.5 of FFXIV will be out tomorrow!
  3. In patch 6.5, my favourite class (Paladin) received some love… enough that the off-tank of my static has invited me to step up and take on some of the tanking. I normally heal in high-end content, but I actually really love tanking and consider myself a Paladin main, so this should be fun.

  • self-gratitude: i’m grateful that i made breakfast again today. with a fruit even, this time!
  • self-gratitude: i’m grateful i sent off a message before going to work. knew i had to, didn’t want to, but did it anway; win!
  • self-gratitude: i’m grateful i got almost all my beemos to at least orange in the morning. the only red one (that i will also derail on :grimacing:) was one that couldn’t have been compelted before work: no way to walk 10.000 steps in such little time.
    in the evening, i got a few goals to blue or even green (or made additional progress on green ones), so that’s another win, not having an additional handful of goals be red first thing tomorrow :)

  1. I found a long-lost bell that’s part of a cute set of tiny ceramic animals: a dog in a basket, a cat asleep on a cushion, and a mouse holding the bell to attach it to the cat.
  2. SGQ: When I couldn’t sleep last night, I got up and did a significant amount of tidying up around the house.
  3. I have the day off work since I didn’t sleep well enough to be trusted with anything technical. :smile:
