Today I took a break from Netflix. I ended up sleeping in because I was exhausted from being up so late last night. Apparently cross stitching is tiring. When I did finally wake up, I took a shower and then headed down to the basement. My mom was cleaning the middle room and I worked on the side room where I have all my tools and some other stuff. I made some progress. I reorganized my DVDs, put all my loose CDs back in the giant case I have, broke down a bunch of boxes, separated out some magazines, picked up some camping stuff, and listened to a lot of Led Zeppelin on vinyl.

I took a break almost immediately after starting so I could eat lunch because I got a late start and I didn't eat breakfast. When I went back down I looked through a couple boxes in the middle room that had a lot of my old toys and school stuff. I picked out a few things and kept the creative writing stuff, but I'm in the mood to throw everything else out. All the little toys and things are cool to look at and remember but I don't really have any need for them and they just take up space.

After several hours of that, I called it good for the day. I relaxed for about an hour, then had some dinner, and went back to relaxing. I watched a bunch of YouTube videos which means I can go back to Netflix for awhile. You can only have two hundred videos in the Watch Later playlist, which can fill up surprisingly fast. This creates a bit of the overwhelming feeling the DVR does but I am getting better at skipping videos that I would only have on for background noise if my playlist is getting full.

I also worked on some cross stitch patterns. I finish transcribing one from a picture I found online and then made one from a picture of a spray paint thing, which is what I did for the dinosaur pattern. I am looking forward to that pattern because the original picture is hilarious and I think the pattern came out looking pretty good.
