So far Christmas seems really nice this year. Usually I don’t feel great around this time of year but this one seems nice. I got a cool new gamer keyboard and chair. Levelling up in Stardew Valley, kissed Sebastiasn for the first time. My family and freinds all seem to be doing ok. I think this Xmas might be ok!

totally forgot one of my chess matches today. Hopefully I can be paired for the second one. I’m sure that will do wonders for my rating.

If of thy mortal goods thou art bereft, And from thy slender store two loaves alone to thee are left, Sell one, and with the dole Buy hyacinths to feed thy soul.
