Woke up a bit earlier today but got ready late. Felt a little bleary. Mom had put the finishing touches on all her food and I had some stirfry noodles and some veggie mushroom stew. Aunt Lang arrived early, around 10:30. Took my RP with the battery case and the Industar 50-2, had work at 12:30 until 8 which would've been somewhat alright if it weren't for the fact that I completely forgot to charge my phone and we didn't have a charger there. It was hilarious and frustrating that, with a cup of coffee in me just 20 minutes before arrival, I was focused and wired to ... attend to work. I did play around with my Canon RP settings and snap a few pics but we were busy enough I had to be pretty vigilant. I was so clearheaded I didn't even think much about my cogsci research, which I somewhat hoped to have thought about, because at least I could scribble down some notes; but no, not much. I was firmly in the present for better or for worse. I suppose my camera could've been a symbol for that, if overt. Arrived home around around 8:20, had half a bun and more noodles and more stew, unwound a bit on the computer, texted Dave and cracked down on a research tab group -- it was about neural level optimizations in the brain vs. AI -- for Hemera. I finished just in the nick of time. Well, not counting the 18 minutes past 12 appending to my Stream here, but whatever. (Edited message/Drop.)
