Finished drafting another chapter. I've got a couple notes on things I'll want to go back to after checking references and calculating statistics. The next chapter is long and I don't think I have it in me to work on that tonight.

Yesterday's handwritten notes are likely to turn into another chapter.

With the snow, business is slow today. Had time to move my latest set of notes into the hybrid outline/draft of the book, fixed a couple typos, and cleaned up some of the existing draft. Hopefully I'll have time to draft a few more pages today.

Plowing on my street was bad so it took about as long to get out of my driveway as it did to get the rest of the way to work. I'm lucky that I can take emergency routes all the way which get attention earlier. One of my employees needed to shovel her car out of the snow twice on her route. #wisconsin

It's snowing and the roads are very slippery. Now that I'm home the cat wants me to pick her up and carry her around the house.

In an alternate universe Brother Benny said, "you want a white captain? I'll give you a white captain." And then he wrote Voyager (which also got pulped because you can't have a woman in command).

It's been a while since I retired from Chest Bot and it looks like nobody is challenging my top score (2600). Who will take the challenge and remove me from the top of the leaderboard?

I might have the other bottle of coffee beer tonight. It'll be interesting to see if it's changed in my fridge. I know that with some of these the coffee flavor gets stronger over time, but this one was already quite potent so I don't want to let that sit too long.

Today I talked with my accountant, with one of my high school English teachers, and with someone who roasted over half a billion (yes, with a b) pounds of coffee last year. Not a bad day.

Suelle Malen (14f) from Atelier Lydie & Suelle doesn't have money for food but seems to have infinite ammo for her guns. It's amazing that she hasn't shot her father who keeps spending the food money on art supplies. (and what kind of parent gives their starving teen daughter not one but two guns anyway?)

They don't try to collect your private data in the first place.

Grinding Atelier Rorona DX endings. I don't mind sitting through the credit roll once, but with over a dozen endings it'd be nice to be able to at least fast forward through that.

In 2018 I bought gas for my car exactly 12 times. I knew a full tank generally lasts about a month for me but I didn't think it was really that close.

I think I've assembled all the documents the accountant needs for my personal taxes. It's less than last year.

More tax crud. In the year 2018 I managed to spend about $1200 more in connection with my work on Typica than money coming in to support that work. https://typica.us/

Lately the cat thinks I should wake up earlier in the day while also staying up later at night. She expresses this by poking me in the face while I'm trying to sleep.
