I've put the Vital Bracelet down for now; it's just too cold. If only it could read my stats while I was riding my bike. Maybe if it was outside on the bumpy pavement. Instead, I've dusted off the old DM20th and I'm trying to complete the roster. Excluding the version exclusive egg line.

...Unless it's possible to make connections via the ACom? I'll have to check that out.

I've also learned that my constant exhaustion may in fact be caused by overstimulation. I was wiped out after going to the dentist today and spent most of the day lying in bed scrolling through Youtube shorts. It wasn't until I decided to turn off all the lights and sit in the dark for 45 minutes. I didn't even go to sleep, I just closed my eyes and smashed my OCs together in my head lol. I felt so refreshed and energized afterwards I got on the exercise bike and started doing laundry!!

It might not work for ever situation, but it'll be the first thing I try next time.

Oh, and I had an interview for the first time in two years! Wow! I'm a bit worried about the hours vs. the pay, as I have to walk that stupidly thin tightrope Social Security demands of me. I'll deal with it when/if I get to the second interview. Won't know until later this week. At least they promised to contact me even if I didn't get the job, which is more than I can say for most companies I've applied to.

Getting a job might be what I need to rid myself of the burnout I've dealt with since the end of last year. Have not worked on any projects except a commission for a friend. I'm slowly warming up to the idea of working on Nocti again. Guess I got hit with the realization of how much work there was left to do and it overwhelmed me. Normally I can get myself to focus on one thing at a time, but my brain zoomed out a little too much. At least the story was always vague enough in my head that it could evolve along with me. Thinking about the plot points I set up in the first demo make me laugh now. It's smaller now; more personal. Probably the most personal of all my stories.

One more random thought: I can't remember where (maybe a clip of a Northernlion stream?) but a recent study has shown that despite a person's personal preferences, the latest time one should go to bed is 1 AM. I haven't read the study myself, so it's very much a "just trust me bro" kind of statement, but I've made it a goal of mine to follow the advice. My boyfriend is amazing and wonderful and I love them with all my heart, but they've been a bad influence on my sleep schedule. At least when I'm not ruining it myself with 10+ hour sessions of hyper focus fueled web design.

That's all for now; I need to get ready for bed.
