 Last night I got ten hours of sleep. I woke up after eight or so but decided to just role over and go back to sleep because my bed was feeling very cozy. It was nice.

Today was uneventful and I didn't really accomplish much. I would have liked to have been more productive but the motivation wasn't there. This morning I watched YouTube videos and AFK'd in Tera for awhile. They are doing a thing in December where you get a loot box each weekend for playing the game for three hours. I didn't feel like playing so I just faced a wall and put auto-run on so I didn't get kicked for inactivity.

Eventually I did end up playing Tera. The Gunner class gets a little more fun as you level up and get more abilities and can actually deal more damage. I leveled up to level twenty or twenty-four, whatever level unlocks the first dungeon, and then jumped into a dungeon because that's the quickest way to level up.

I recreated the Joker perler bead pattern I found in GIMP so I can use it as a cross stitch pattern. I also tweaked it a little bit to make it look better. I still want to mess with it a little bit but I think it will make a pretty cool cross stitch.

For dinner I made the bean soup that the one-on-one tech person gave everyone in our department for Christmas. She gave all of us a jar (or a a tin, in my case, because she ran out of jars) with all of the dry ingredients. I just needed to add water and a can of diced tomatoes. It took forever because the beans had to cook, but it ended up tasting pretty good. I also roasted potatoes, which were leftover from Thanksgiving, and mixed those in after the soup was done.

After dinner I played a little bit of CoD: WW2, just enough to complete a few daily orders. Then I played a battleground in Tera a few times so I could level up even faster. The battleground kind of sucked, you slowly walk over to the other team's boss and hopefully punch it once or twice before getting killed. Rinse and repeat. Over and over again. Luckily, three out of the four times I played my team won. I got seven million XP the first time because it was part of a quest, and then a million XP each the next two times, so I was able to get up to get up to level thirty-one I think. Not bad.

It's now after eleven o'clock and I've got a headache so I'm going to record my audio journal and go to bed. It would be nice if tomorrow wasn't Monday.
