I'll continue in a "hybrid" manner. Focus on the given main and side quests, but if they take me to places I haven't fully explored yet, then I'll do the exploration at that moment, without going overboard and clearing the entire map in one go. Feels like that will give me the best balance. Especially now that I've pretty much completed all there is to do (for now) in both Hogwarts and Hogsmeade, and am thus running out of "wholesome, safe, battle-free exploration"... 😅       "Just one more quest" is still in effect, and this game is making me forsake the "sleep" part of my current challenge... 😱   This week so far:   Week 3   M T W T F S S Intermittent fasting               Calorie intake               Calories spent               Calories in/out deficit               Curfew               Sleep               Avg. sleep 5h27 Steps               Avg. steps 11.9K Distance 17.93 Workouts 0.0 Days with (mini-)workouts 0 ALL THE THINGS!                     Here's a Belgian band that I'll be checking out at the Alcatraz Festival: The Killbots. Stoner rock band that was active from 2002 to 2008 but who've reformed last year. I won't see their entire gig (because there's overlap with Orden Ogan and those are WAY higher on my list of band priorities), but will check out their first half. This should be their opener:   The Killbots - The Second Barrage

Miss ShyAnn looking kind of derpy   Today has been the best chair day EVER! Not only did I get my new chair to establish my "third place" in the apartment, but my new office chair arrived at work today!   Ordered a specifically big and tall chair with a listed 500lbs capacity. I'm under 400, just really wanted one that would hold up. Wasn't able to get it assembled before needing to leave work today, so pictures will have to wait.   Timing got a bit off with the delivery today. Was bringing Maggie over to hang out for a bit and we were waiting to pick up food from Olive Garden when I got a call asking if they could deliver the chair early.  Quickly drove Maggie over to my place and then circled back for the food. Chair was placed by the time I got back, so no extra time to tidy and save myself the shame of my mess.   Chair and more cat pictures    The chair is as delightfully big as I remember it, but also takes up more floor space than I realized. I'm going to need to work out a better setup for things.   I also really need to get an ac for the living room. Typing this from in bed again because I needed to escape the heat and my bedroom is the only room with cooling.    Maggie did what Maggie always seems to do when she comes over. She started cleaning things while I was getting the food. I feel really conflicted about this. Maggie is the only person I don't totally shudder at the idea of seeing my mess. She's seen it before. I've seen her mess. We lived together for a few years with both of us fighting depression. We know mess.   But, I don't bring her over to clean and when she just starts doing it, I feel shame and inadequacy. Should have gotten things better before she came. Should just keep things in a better state. I need a  mother to pick up after me.   On the other hand, I know that isn't where she's coming from with it. Generally speaking, she is thankful for the help I give her (even with how much I've stepped back) and feels bad that she can't do things for me. She see cleaning as something she CAN do, and wants to do for me.   And I'm trying to be ok with that. But, it's hard.
