## journaling
|
|
I'm about halfway through my first thicc journal (more of a [commonplace book](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonplace_book) really) and my first bullet journal, both of which were started in June of this year. I picked up the journaling habit (again) back in March, so I have two other journals I finished before this one (both A5 size), but this is my first thick journal of this style (it's square with grid pages). I'm really enjoying writing again -- I thought I wouldn't have much of anything to write about, but being able to go back and look at how I was feeling a week or a month ago has proved really useful for my own well-being and mental health, so I'm very happy with where I am on this habit currently.

## retrospring eos
|
|
a bunch of people have been hosting their own instances of [retrospring](https://retrospring.net/) in preparation for next year's end-of-service for the site, and I've joined a couple in preparation and to go ahead and reserve my username in case one of them takes off with my friends. I'm currently on both [melospring](https://spring.love4eva.net/) and [fragsturztaube](https://ask.absturztau.be/) in addition to retrospring (until it's end of service), so if you end up joining, give me a follow and I'll follow you back!

## fountain pens
|
|
Finally got the other two pens from the Sanrio x Platinum Little Meteor crossover (blue for cinnamoroll, purple for hello kitty) along with some nice lake blue-colored ink to go in the cinnamoroll blue one. (I'm currently using the first bottle of ink I ever bought, [PenBBS 223 - Chongqing City Blue](https://www.fountainpencompanion.com/brands/227-penbbs/inks/5910-penbbs-223-chongqing-city), in the hello kitty purple).
|
|
|
|
also I recently brought my bujo to bed to jot down some stuff before I fell asleep and knocked it (and my sparkly pink jinhao fountain pen) off the nightstand in my sleep and broke the lid of my sparkly pink jinhao ;w;

## gaming
|
|
I bought [Fields of Mistria](https://www.fieldsofmistria.com/) and have been playing a ton of that and [Stardew Valley](/games/sdv). Playing it for our archipelago games reignited my interest in the game, so I'm back on my modded bullshit uwu
|
|
|
|
I'm still playing [Divinity: Original Sin 2](https://store.steampowered.com/app/435150/Divinity_Original_Sin_2__Definitive_Edition/) with Amara, her son, and Egg; and also [Baldur's Gate 3](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1086940/Baldurs_Gate_3/) with [Fiona](https://www.twitch.tv/powerforge), Egg, and Amara. I stopped my solo playthru of BG3 so I could experience the story with everyone, because that's been more fun for me. 
|
|
|
|
I ordered a new Nintendo Switch charger for mine, since I seem to have misplaced it in the move, and have played a little Animal Crossing: New Horizons with some friends, a game I haven't played since 2022.
|
|
|
|
I released myself from the archipelago playthrough I was in because I'm feeling spread quite thin lately. As an introvert, I've always struggled with balancing my friendships with my personal time. When I was playing ffxiv, it was easy because we were all playing the same game so I could run things with whoever was on. Now that I'm taking a break from the game, it's not as easy to plan things. <img src="../img/emoji/weh.gif" alt="weh" style="max-width: 88px; vertical-align: middle;">

## home server
|
|
I decapitated the server I built earlier this year and set it up inside of my front closet, but I uh...set something up improperly and have to login for any of my daemons to startup... 
|
|
|
|
So I'll have to drag it out and re-setup the peripherals so I can fix that flub. 
|
|
|
|
I already miss my [pihole](https://pi-hole.net/).

## unpacking
|
|
this weekend will be the last load we're picking up from our old house, so we'll be officially moved out of there and into our apartment! Maybe we can finally start unpacking our living room (almost everything else is done unpacking, but the living room for some reason has lagged behind...). <img src="../img/emoji/frustrate.gif" alt=">m<" style="max-width: 60px; vertical-align: middle;"> |
