new year!

the last half of this year was tough, but much... much... MUCH better than the two years that came before it. my gods, we have lots to be grateful for. here's hoping and praying that the next year is an improvement all round.

handing over the dog yesterday wasn't as uncomfortable as we expected, although there was a lot of sadness before the handover; he obviously felt that something was up, because he did *not* want to go outside with me in the morning even though he definitely needed to go.

the rest of the day was spent trying out a bunch of the games that got a mention in the wowie jam 4! winners video (all the ones available on itch.io, at least), and after an hour or so that mr smear and i went out for a walk (and ice-cream) we got back into the godot tutorials. slow progress is still progress.

i hurt myself sleeping last night, i woke up this morning to find that breathing was painful.

no school today. half a workday that was *probably* more than half a day for me. minor progress.

afterwards, mr smear and i tried out the rest of the wowie jam 4! games.

that was the day.

in five minutes we're leaving the apartment to find out if pre-booking a taxi was good enough to get us to our cousins on time for dinner.

shana tova!
