suboptimal

today was a long day. some of it was immensely gratifying - in particular gaming with mr smear* - and some of it was exhausting, in spite of me doing very little. i tried to be productive, i tried to make some progress with the next podcast episode, but when i wasn't trying to keep mr smear occupied or looking after my knee i found it very difficult to focus.

i did make a couple of health insurance claims, though, which was a big deal.

things that got me through the day: returning to braid, fiddling with a couple of levels of 7 billion humans, and a little bit more of a song of ice and fire. and the unframed ice-cream that my mom brought home. and a hot shower when i was freezing.

and now to do my exercises and go to bed. hopefully i'll sleep.

* i find it very sad that mixed-up mother goose no longer works on a mac. i really loved how mr smear responded to it and because we're forced to play the html5 port i was worried that we couldn't save our progress. while writing this i realized i hadn't actually tried, and lo! progress saved. i don't know how they made that work, but i'm very grateful!
