march gratitude

Gratitude journal from March, starting March 13, the day I started sheltering in place. It's been a weird month, but a good one.

1. sleeping in, waking up to a room awash in warm sunlight
2. aki route COMPLETE. we finally got to fight the Dominion priestess (who is displayed as her true name when you defeat her LOL) and Father Gregory
3. we beat leviathan!!
4. YES my boss called and said stay home tomorrow, stay safe. I'm so relieved
5. update: staying home all week like a boss. full week of isolation. staying safe
6. sooo much baldr sky. finished reminiscence, got to ch7 makoto
7. beat makoto! I feel v accomplished now. it took nine attempts. I didn't even get off a proper melee combo until attempt #4. it just goes to show that sometimes, I can do things with practice and a cool head
8. no caffeine dependency. I get starbucks for breakfast every work day, but just because I like the taste. there's no effect when I don't have it (or any other coffee products) here at home
9. eden normals with team! (hgr, dante, newbie, kan) in a surprising twist, eden normals have become a highlight of my week. it's amazing what a functional computer can do
10. (also I got a 24% on ifrit/garuda normal?! normal is a whole different world)
11. finally did the lofia/cheryl babel chronicles. it was actually good?? lofia best girl
12. two books, two days. I am a pro
13. makoto route COMPLETE. best route so far! hyped for the true route
14. I have a balcony!!!
