 I got seven hours of sleep last night and woke up sometime after nine o'clock. I thought it would be much later. Most of my morning was spent watching YouTube videos and the second season of The Good Place, and playing Starbound. I confirmed my vague recollection that the map in Starbound loops, so if you keep going in one direction you'll eventually come back around to where you started. So I have circumnavigated my first planet. I'm still liking the game but I need to upgrade my stuff so I don't feel so vulnerable every time I see a mob. It would also be nice if the bow and arrow mechanic worked better.

After lunch I mixed my own trail mix. It has: almonds, pistachios, cashews, peanuts, raisins, and dark chocolate chips. I was only going to mix half of what I bought but the container I used was big enough so I said screw it and made it all. I now have 115oz of trail mix. That's a ridiculous amount of trail mix. I might need to freeze some. But, I just did the math and I saved a decent amount of money. Overall, compared to the trail mix I was buying before, I saved $23.19, and that comes out to $0.20 per ounce, which I think is pretty good.

I moved four bookcases into my house today. I put two in my bedroom and two in my office. I still have three in the garage but I'm not sure where I want them yet. Now I need to start bringing books over from my Mom's house. I still don't have nearly enough shelf space for all of my books but it's a start. I managed the bookcases alright but I could feel it in my back when I moved my small routing table. I'm hoping I wake up tomorrow morning and I'm not in pain when I go to sit up in bed.

For dinner I made my stir fry recipe, substituting the brown rice with pad thai noodles. I think I needed to at least break the pad thai noodles in half because in the pan they just created a big rats nest of noodles. Everything turned out alright though and my dinner was tasty.

While I ate I finished catching up on season two of The Good Place and after that I played more CoD: WW2 multiplayer. I prestiged my Infantry division again and I'm still not entirely sure of the purpose other than being able to level it up again and getting a new calling card or something. But I do it because I like leveling. My actual level is forty-one, out of fifty-five, but each level takes progressively more XP to complete. I just looked up a leveling table and it looks like I'm just over halfway to max level. If things continue and I maintain interest in the game, this might be my first time prestiging in years. The problem with prestiging is that you start from scratch and have to unlock everything all over again. And if you're kind of over the game at that point, I don't know that it's worth resetting everything because it would be more fun to jump back into it later if you still had the loadouts you like. I don't know. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

It has now once again taken me far too long to write this because I keep getting distracted by a livestream. But now I'm going to record my audio journal and go to bed. I'm looking forward to a
