In Which I Work On the Snowiest of Days.

Hello world, it's me, Cam. On this most snowiest of days I find myself bored at work without a pencil for drawing. We're not allowed to close due to corporate policy or some such nonsense, so here I sit, typing with my thumbs. 

First thought: I haven't seen this much snow in Vernon for a very long time, especially all from one continuous snowfall. Seriously, there's a lot of snow out there, and it just keeps falling. S'pretty and whatnot but my ability to get groceries will be seriously hampered. Also: I need to get some food, I have limited supplies, but I may just have to survive on them for a day or two.

Second thought: I need to continue drawing. I've been trying to keep it up but I need a proper table at home to actually attempt it. I need a proper table for other reasons too, but that's beside this thought. I've been practicing relatively frequently (basically when I'm at work 'cause it's a slow time of year) and I think I'm getting more comfortable at doing quick work that I'm happy to use as a base layer, so that's a step in the right direction if/when I want to get into digital work. 

Third thought: Jord really needs to give me a budget to work with if he actually wants me to buil him a computer. I can do it for whatever, but I need to know what price range he would like to be in, and what he wants this computer for, that way I can weigh specific parts appropriately. I should really text him about it...

Fourth thought: I need to excercise more daily. I currently have a routine that I do...infrequently, like once a week, but I need to really enforce daily activity. Gotta find motivation, or just force it into a habit. Once it becomes habit/routine I no longer have to actively convince myself to do it, which is where my major stumbling block lies.

Fifth thought: it's kinda strange, but I seem to have some sort of social life, at least for the time being. I'm not used to this, hanging out with people an doing stuff that isn't just staying in. Heck, even talking to people, which I'm not particularly bad at (I just don't do it much), is becoming a more regular thing. None of which I'd consider a bad thing, just new and unfamiliar. Oh well, breaking out of my hole in the ground is a good thing, I think.

Sixth thought: I wonder if I should try contacts...my vision isn't that bad, and I think I look more like a Viking without my glasses on. Oh, and my glasses are cock-eyed, so I should get that fixed and/or get new ones and/or get some contacts. Also, I should find out what my prescription actually is for...reasons. 

Well, that's all for now.  Take it easy everybody, stay safe out there.

Cheers
