August 1st 2024. Tried waking up a little early at 7:00 but the bathroom was immediately taken up by my brother and grandma respectively so I had to wait 50 more minutes or so. Skipped breakfast, spent 9 to 11 playing (and dying) on RotMG Valor. Around 11:15 I took myself and my brother to the Valley Fair mall to get some L'Occitaine lotion for my mom. My brother got a LEGO set of Ayerton Senna and his car, a Formula 1 racer who tragically had a steering column malfunction in 1994. I didn't get anything other than Chipotle for lunch, with my brother, which took longer than I thought to eat. Maybe their portions are even more generous now, or I wasn't as hungry as I thought? In any event we swung by R&B Tea nearby the dining terrace since Seth wanted some boba tea. I didn't get any since I still had my milk tea in the freezer at home, which I summarily thawed and drank after arriving home. The 880 freeway back up to my town seemed a little busy and the lanes a bit narrow, but we made it. Lamped at my laptop for a bit, but not as much as I normally would have, since my Amazon package finally arrived. I ordered an external battery for my laptop, Dropped off my brother at work at 5:30. After dinner I played some prod RotMG on my laptop, which seems a little like a slippery slope to do gaming on my laptop, but something about having all (well, most) your applications just work on Windows without worrying about version compatibility or specs is so freeing. Dinner -- Mom made some veggie and pork/shrimp meatball soup and she helped grandma grill some marinated pork. I was still full from earlier, so I didn't eat much.
