Resolutions: January report

As I posted in late December, my resolutions for 2025 are to make some headway on my backlog of books I wish that I'd read but haven't been able to get myself to read (or where I stopped in the middle and haven't yet resumed), and also to try a few of my backlog of Steam games. (And maybe to make headway on my 2024 resolution to eat more lentils!) Here's how I did in January.

The book I chose from my stack of 12 was The Dragon Republic, and I managed to get it finished by the 15th of the month! Go me! My book for February (this is a public commitment thing) is The Name of the Rose.

I tried several Steam games in my backlog of games I own, but it turned out my laptop wasn't powerful enough to play them. My new laptop arrived today, so I should do better in February. Meanwhile, I figured I should play Undertale, so I bought it and played it for... 55 minutes. Well, that's not nothing. I think it was three sessions.

(Also, I did eat lentil spaghetti, once.)

Low-key Friday

We might be getting sick, but we might not? Last night I woke with bad digestion after just 5.5 hours of sleep, which I hope was just caused by the bar food I ate on Wednesday when we went to trivia. I never did get fully back to sleep, and I kept trying to nap in the afternoon and evening. Meanwhile, J woke with a sore throat today and noted that the two people he'd done sword class with on Tuesday were both out sick on Thursday. Fingers crossed!

Friday movie night was Kubo and the Two Strings, which is one of the most beautiful movies, and the story is fun, and it's made by a company based in Oregon, which is always great. The other people we were watching with online generally hadn't seen it before and were very impressed and happy with it, so I'm glad I encouraged them to vote for it.

We had lots of rain today, and there's possibly snow in the forecast for a few days from now...
