 Today was a good day. I woke up earlier than I would have liked but that's not out of the norm.

This morning did things, probably. I think I played some Elite Dangerous, watched videos, and clicked around the internet. All the usual stuff. At some point today Elite Dangerous started crapping out on me. It crashed several times, seemingly randomly, and it was kind of frustrating. It brought back the cursing I thought I got past after the initial learning curve for the game. Tonight I updated a Radeon driver and I hope that fixes the problem. When I got back in the game after that I only played a tiny bit but it didn't crash, so fingers crossed. I also downloaded the game on my laptop to see if I will have the same issues. It would also be cool if it worked on my laptop because then I could play on my projector. Elite Dangerous would look pretty sweet up on my wall.

After lunch I went to my Mom's house to do laundry. While that was going I read. I've neglected reading since Elite Dangerous. I also picked up my other office chair because the one I had at my house started slowly moving down the other day. It only seemed to happen when I was at just the right angle but it was still annoying. Getting the other chair in my car was a pain in the butt. It wouldn't fit in my trunk or front seat. It also didn't quite fit in my backseat. And then I got it stuck in the back seat, unable to push it in or pull it out. Eventually I said screw it and unscrewed the base from the seat because the width of the wheelbase was the main holdup in every location. I still couldn't get just the base in the trunk or the backseat and it just barely fit in the front seat. Kinda ridiculous. But I got it in and I'm sitting in the chair now. I need a new chair. I'm back on that kick. I spend way too much time in my chair to not have a decent one.

When I got home I did responsible things. I put my laundry away, ironed my pants for the week, watered the flower on my porch, and washed my dishes that I neglected the last couple of nights. I then sat down and finished Adulting: How to Become a Grown-Up in 468 Easy(ish) Steps by Kelly Williams Brown. I enjoyed the book. It would be cool if we could connect it somehow to our series in the Fall.

Once the book was finished I ate dinner and watched YouTube videos. Then I played Elite Dangerous until it crashed. While I worked on getting that sorted out I watched an Elite Dangerous stream because I needed my fix. It was the same streamer I was watching before I got the game. And now I'm watching a stream that he hosted. They're working on setting up a fighter race through a canyon, which is a thing I didn't even know existed. But to be fair, I still don't know most things about the game.

Now I need to record my audio journal so I can go to sleep. I open in the morning. I'm not looking forward to that but at least I get off at five o'clock.
