Kind of lamped out today. Woke up 20 mins late, after 8. Turns out Grandma had left early this morning to the airport to fly to Arkansas to visit my two uncles, Udam and Thea, and Thea's wife Belle(?) and my baby cousin Cambo (adorable). Waited for Seth to finish getting ready. Remodeling the middle bathroom in the house began today. Had a turkey lettuce sandwich for breakfast. After being denied pre-approval (again) from Capitol One, I tried Discover, and was pleasantly surprised to find I was able to get a student credit card. The benefits are decent, but the main thing I want to do is build my credit score. Can you believe I've gone over 4 years without using a credit card? I don't even have a credit score. So I also spent a good chunk of the day researching credit cards and how they work, into Dendron. As an aside, it definitely felt more focused writing the notes and personal thoughts here than trying to write from my head. I feel like Dendron is the unsung hero of my nerdiness. It's workflow is categorical just enough to be easy to re-read, recall, and skim my old and new notes easily. I love my cognitive science TiddlyWiki, but it's definitely more for the thinking aspect than the archival aspect of my cogsci knowledge, and a lot of the insights jumble together even when I try to apply some concepts to a scenario. In the evening I read a few more pages of Pale Ford, and played 45 minutes-ish of RotMG. Deliberately shortened my gameplay time to force me to be more productive in-game. Maxed out Attack on my Rogue with an in-game candy item which really perked up the DPS, but I'm still not a fan of the invisibility rework. 6 Dexterity points left to go, out of a prior 15. But I won't dwell on the progress. Better safe than sorry.
