functional

 i don't think i slept enough last night, and it's half-past midnight now so i guess i'm not going to sleep enough tonight, either. my neck's still been threatening, though substantially less.

the morning saw me pretty functional. i finally applied for the upgrade to gd's cannabis license, submitted authorizations for mr smear's therapist, and ran mr smear through some of his homework before leaving for the office.

the work day went pretty well, with a highlight being a walk and talk with an investor which was both pleasant and pleasantly surprising in our general alignment. later, one of my coworkers showed me something that forms another piece of the puzzle i've been putting together in my head, much earlier than anticipated.

i got home in time to take mr smear out for a good walk before dinner, and finished reading the first i, robot story to him at bedtime. i've played another act from slay the spire, and i'm really enjoying it.

mr smear didn't manage to figure out getting tracks laid down in cubase, so i guess that's what we're doing tomorrow morning...
