Smalland house pics! I did some more work on it after taking these and it's still a work in progress anyway, but check out my digs:

The left half is my warehouse/workshop and the right half is my home, there's a campfire set up under the overhang because there are things you can only cook on campfires and not on the stove. The tower is my incubator fortress

This is the warehouse/workshop, at the time of the pictures it's pretty empty but I have almost all the benches I've unlocked in there now.

Storage! These are now colour-coded

And upstairs!

And the other side. I had a whole layout and like, roof situation going on when I decided to put the stove in here, which turned out to not fit and I had to completely redo things. But I like how it turned out!

And naptime. Don't talk to me I'm eepy.

 
I would love love love to get some stuff to hang on the walls, like tapestries or banners or something, but so far there haven't been any I've been able to unlock. I do really like the paint system, you'll notice I've put some patterns on some things, like the floor upstairs in the workshop, and many things have also been painted a different colour than the default. But the decorations have been leaving a little to be desired so far

So when I was doing research into what's different about catfood formulated for seniors (to find out if putting Oz on it would help her), I read that because senior cats tend to get more sedentary, they're also prone to becoming overweight and so senior food is lower-calorie to combat that. Obviously not what I want for Oz, so I didn't look into it further

And the reason why I've been trying to find a wet food she'll eat, instead of giving her the baby food she wants, is because I don't want her eating the baby food instead of her regular food and not get the nutrients she needs, because baby food isn't, uh, formulated to be a nutritionally complete meal for cats

But while I was looking up how many calories she needs, I read that senior cats are prone to losing muscle mass and benefit from increased protein in their diet. And adding pureed meat to her meal is probably a pretty good way to get more protein in there?

I am still worried about her not wanting to eat her regular food if she's filling up on baby food, but so far when I put some on top of her food it stimulates her appetite to keep eating even after the baby food is gone, which is good, and if the alternative is she doesn't eat at all then obviously I want her to be full of baby food. So I'm going to start adding some to her food every day and see if it helps her

You are a good cat dad

Splurged a bit this month on more Digimon DIM cards. Probably shouldn't have, because now I have no money, but if all of the cards I've ordered arrive in working condition (cross fingers, touch wood) then I'm down to 17 that I don't have, which is like a third of the complete collection!

 
Teacher sent out an announcement today that we're having class on Wednesday next week instead of Monday -- she didn't say why, might have something to do with Veteran's Day being on Tuesday or maybe it's unrelated. But Erika, Dave, and I had scheduled game night on Wednesday, so we've had to reschedule that and now it's Monday, which means class and games have just swapped places

On Friday I am hopefully actually going to dad's -- didn't this past week because I had forgotten ash works from home on the first Friday of the month, so he wouldn't have been able to pick me up and I might probably be grabbing some art to hang up in our parlor. Dad still wants to make a movie and dinner happen, as well, so maybe that'll happen this coming week

 
I am getting a migraine, and I need to shave and shower again (it never ends), and I still have homework to do. The professor actually graded last week's homework earlier today and gave me 15 out of a possible 10 points -- I am assuming this is a mistake since the homework didn't have any particular reason to be given extra points, and I assume it'll get corrected back down at some point, but I'm sure not going to call attention to it.

Oz is doing well so far with the added baby food, though I do need to get to the store and pick up some more soon. I also need general groceries, toothpaste, to actually getting around to renewing my library card,,,

Alright, going to go take some advil and eat some more dinner

I did also charge the watch up to go back to training the little guys; I currently have an Arkhai Angemon () and I'm aiming for a Xiangpengmon () (just because I'm going through them in order of 'most difficult-to-achieve one I haven't already gotten')

Within 14 hours, I need 1200 more vital points, 7 more battles, a 50% overall win rate, and 15 more pp -- pp is squats for the BE but I'll also need to be doing the other training exercises to boost stats enough to get that win rate

By God tonight I am Going To Sleep On Time

I heard this in John Adams' voice from 1776, ala "by god I have had this congress"

Yeah thanks, when I asked a question in English using an English sentence structure what I really wanted was an AI to explain something I didn't ask about¹ in a language I don't understand, given that I'm asking a question to do with learning that language

It's chapter 10 by the way. Duckduckgo answered it for me immediately, but it also popped up a reddit thread that I didn't notice I wanted to read until the second I closed the page and when I reopened it that result wasn't there anymore. So I tried google, since google is in bed with reddit and is more likely to bring up reddit results

Of course first I have to deal with that ^

Another batch of DIMs arrived -- these I was particularly worried about, because they were coming from the official Bandai store and it's weird for them to still have DIMs in stock, and the listing was kind of weird and vague. But I got what I ordered, and that knocked -- jesus, nine?? Cards off the list. Two packs of three, a pack of two, and a single. Got them all sorted and put away, and then I have a couple of auctions I've bid one -- one won, waiting for the other to end and then for it all to ship and be delivered.

This does not change my numbers, because I have a 'bought' category in my spreadsheet so I can keep track of what I'm actively waiting on and follow up on them if they stall, so the unowned category is still 17 items. Also a lot of these are unconfirmed as working/legitimate, but I got 'em. Really should test them, though. Maybe I'll do that between working on homework
