- Lisa’s gonna go pick up the next volumes of the manhua I’m reading from the bookshop for me so I don’t run out.

- Between Waterstones credit and Bookshop.org credit, I had almost £100 to spend on books, so I was able to stock up on the rest of the MDZS manhua between Waterstones and Bookshop without spending a lot.
- A friend joined to help us try to clear M10S last night. We didn’t, but his help is still appreciated.

- Really enjoying one of my new Beeminder goals, it’s actually making quite a nice difference to my life. I’m not sure how well I’d stick to it without Beeminder making me make it concrete.
- I think my wrist’s a bit better, good enough for raiding tonight. I hope.
- Thank goodness for that one guy on Youtube who’s done a full run-through of Loophole. Sometimes I get to a point where I’m just stuck, and it’s useful to watch him play and muse about it a bit before trying again (though I try not to see his actual solution unless I’m really stuck).

- Living in a city and having a wider range of options for takeout and delivery. For Valentine’s we tried a different Mexican place to usual. And that’s not even the only other Mexican delivery place there is! What a contrast to our last place.
- Had a bit of a lazy day, and that’s okay.
- Did manage to get myself to go out for a little walk, though!

- Today’s a bit less busy and rushed than yesterday.
- The USB touchpad seemed to work okay for a bit of gaming yesterday without hurting my wrist. Fingers crossed it stays that way.
- It’s not raining today, so I can go for a walk without getting wet shoes/socks, woo. Must consider some more waterproof shoes, but in the meantime, hurrah for a nice day.

- Managed to get some games of Rival Wings in FFXIV today. It’s a favourite PvP mode of mine, but it’s not much-loved, so enthusiasts have to arrange dates to play. It takes quite a lot of us so it can be difficult to get it going.
- Felt in the mood to read last night after a week of feeling pretty tired and uninterested, so yaaay.
- Lisa helping me get stuff done when my wrist is too sore.

- Slowly emerging from unpacking after the house move - every box is now unpacked, although in a number of instances this has just meant spreading the contents over a nearby surface…
- Temporary cat fence is up, allowing the fur-beasts into a small portion of the garden. It’s the first time they’ve been able to get outside for weeks, so they are loving it.
- House is warm and comfortable, and so despite the mild chaos, it feels great.

- I’ve been more active with commenting on other people’s blogs, and it’s a lot of fun. I’m glad I have the time/energy for that again.
- Managed to curl up and read for almost a full hour at a stretch while Lisa was out, which was nice. Sometimes it’s nice to just be undistractable for a bit.
- It’s felt like a full but peaceful weekend.

- Takeout for dinner to reward me for being good, ahaha.
