It feels really good to be able to work hard.

Damn it I was gonna take before and after pictures but forgot.

Anyway, a majority of the area is covered now. Ran out of cardboard and there's some stuff I can't move myself.

Today I'm planning to work outside. There's so much to do out there, but I need to remember not to overextend, even if I'm having fun.

I've picked a tiny spot of land to rewild. For today I'd like to clear the junk and lay down cardboard to "solarize" the grass and burdock there, basically a [โ€ฆ]

My energy levels have been doing really well!!

Sometimes I'd finish a book but only through struggle, something I had to try, unsuccessfully, through intermittent [โ€ฆ]

I've seen several playthroughs of Disco Elysium (one was over eighty hours), played it partway through twice myself, and seen several video essays about it (including one by Jeffiot that was *five* hours).

Since I usually don't like to repeat content, I wondered why I was so obsessed with it [โ€ฆ]
