 Today was more productive than yesterday, and I almost accomplished everything I wanted it. Throughout the day I did laundry, which was a given because I actually needed to do that. I also brought up the containers for my Christmas stuff. I didn't actually take any of my Christmas stuff down, but I've taken the first step, so that's something.

I made my first loaf of bread in the oven today. I found a recipe for white bread but instead of four cups of all purpose flour I substituted in two cups of wheat flour, because I have a lot of wheat flour. I started the dough in my food processor but had to finish the kneading by hand because it was too much for the food processor. It didn't end up rising as much as it was supposed to but it ended up tasting really good. I might try using it for my sandwich tomorrow. I don't think it's quite right for sandwiches, so I'll keep trying.

I listened to a few more discs of A Study In Charlotte by Brittany Cavallaro. Things are heating up and I need to stick with it and finish it. I am still liking how Sherlock Holmes is embodied by a teenager girl. It works.

I played more Hearthstone today and I did much better than yesterday. It's slowly coming back to me. I also ran on the elliptical for fifteen minutes and got closer to coming up with an idea for my first short story.

Before dinner I played a little CoD: WW2 and jumped back in after dinner. I tried Zombies again to see if maybe I had gotten better. I have not. After a few attempts I went back to multiplayer. Thanks to hardcore Kill Confirmed I was able to unlock a few more camos for the first sniper rifle. Now I only have one left, requiring me to get five kills without dying using the sniper rifle. I've done it three times but need to do it two more times. Piece of cake, eventually. And then diamond snipers.

For dinner I roasted potatoes, because I needed to use the potatoes, and spaghetti. I tried some different seasonings and both turned out pretty well. I'm looking forward to the leftovers.

It has taken me forever to write this thanks to YouTube videos. I've watched three since writing that last sentence. I need to go back to listening to music while writing my journal.
