Today years old.

1. My reading habits are like everyone of my hobbies, I’m obsessed for a week then move on to a new pursuit then come back to reading several months later.
2. I read text books about Aztec history.
3. I’m a year away from 40 and I’m coming to terms with being alone for the rest of my life (which is exactly the same leading up to this point).
4. I bought a book stand I can adjust and wheel around.
5. Stop caring what other people think and just read when you feel like it. You’re overthinking this.

That hit a little too hard.

I’m not picky.

I’m a vegetarian so I want either a golden apple or an apple from Eden.

Marcus Aurelius’ “Meditations” really gave me perspective.

Have a straw in a restaurant.

How much time it takes for somebody in front of me in line to complete whatever the line is about.

Crying and covered in blood.

If you work from home set up alarms on your phone for your regularly scheduled meetings 5 minutes before they occur.

can kill mobs out of turn-based combat you’re just cruising.

That’s what I was referring to. Once you’re able to defeat enemies in the overworld you can farm all sorts of recovery items and make bank.

Money grinding is pretty efficient, but I was referring to the high rate of item drops. There’s a pretty common enemy that drops a mp recovery item. I’m blasting through dungeons in one go.

All calendar based anxiety went out the window for me after getting the Merchant and Thief classes.
