Today was generally a decent asf day. Siren set up the new laptop we got her for Christmas, which was unfortunately not without frustration and tears. I feel horrible when I do anything that makes her cry, in this case it was not helping her set up her laptop and staying hands-off about it. Sam and I agreed that she really needs to figure out how to set it up herself, in order to become more proficient on her own with PC technology. But I still felt like an evil abusive monster for having to be firm with that boundary. Anyway she ended up figuring it out and promptly purchased the latest FNAF game and Slime Rancher.

Then I bought $25 worth of yarn from Michael's with the gift card Siren's grandma gave me, all of it will be going to making different iterations of the My Little Secret Crop by Jessie Maed. I have made so many of this top. It's universally perfect. I have made so many of this top already and I have no intention of diversifying. It's literally the perfect casual top, especially since tomorrow is supposed to be 66f. Jesus Christ.

Then I made one of my favorite soups, which is a vegan version of chicken tortilla soup. I use the Daring chicken. I'm still on the fence if I want to set up a recipes section on here. Maybe I'll do it tomorrow. I also found step-by-step instructions on using jQuery to make elements for web pages--which I need because I haven't programmed professionally in almost four years--which is in the resources section of my links page. Maybe tomorrow if I have chill time I'll make a recipes section and set up the jQuery for my navbar. I really need to get my shit together and work on my thesis. So far I only have the introduction and literature review, so I still need to do methodology, results, discussion, and conclusion. I have to defend this thing in like three months, so I really need to get my shit together. Since tomorrow Pat's back to work and Siren's at Sam's house this week, I should use that time to work, and not sit on my ass and do Erica Things.

Also, as much as I hate South Park's politics and think "South Park libertarianism" is asinine and selfish--not to mention totally dated; we still have libertarians in 2021? Lmao--me and Patrick finished the Pandemic Specials trilogy and fucking loved it.

Overall a super decent day!
