We're still alive! Just been bogged down by classwork as usual.
Good things first. We've started biking again because we really need to get more exercise and get in better shape. We've only got one body and we need to take better care of it. Biking is one of the few exercises we can actually enjoy and not feel like we need to rip our skin off or otherwise suffer through. Here's to hoping the weather keeps cooperating.
Haven't been doing too much tech-wise lately, mostly because we don't have the motivation yet. We need to start on the GUI version of PluralNotes but the time will come eventually. Would also like to start trying to slap together a simple TUI game at some point. Right now, we're just trying to make it through the quarter and wrap our brain around biology, which is still just chemistry but squishy. Chemistry was never our strong suit.
Been feeling sort of off lately, not sure why. We probably need to dig something up and process it but again, it'll happen eventually. We just need to keep moving until it does.
Trying to decide what to do for Samhain. It's coming up and I'd really like to do something but I'm not sure what yet.
We're trying to keep better track of the inside of our head again. Nothing fancy, just basic information about peeps so we can have that on hand and help ourselves better. The challenge is getting everyone to make a page, which means not only making sure they have time in front, but that they know they need to make a page and have access to the template and supplies. It's the second part that's the hardest. We can leave a note or try to reach them from the back, but they have to both see the note and decide to do it. A lot of the kids don't choose to follow through because they're too scared or upset about things and don't have the energy to spare to make a page. We'll have to figure something out that either lets them do it or lets us do it with their instruction. I'd rather they make it themselves, but sometimes we have to make do. At least it's easier with the adult folks since they understand why it matters in a different way. The kids don't tend to think long term.
We're doing alright. Tired and a little frazzled, but mostly happy.
