Ravings of an Undead Cheese Minion

I may hate the winter, but I've got a good routine going now.  1. Lift weights, full body.  2. Long run of 14-16 miles.  3. Get ready for the day. Breakfast, shower, maybe do the hot tub outdoors.  4. Artistic: Languages, music, digital art, reading, writing. ~2h.  5. Lunch and walk at the park.   6. Technical: Coding/IT, engineering, games/game dev. ~1.5-2h 7. Rec center water slides and hot tub -- my theme park activity. Then shower back at home.  8. Dinner with friends 9. Gaming, watch a show or movie, meditate, stretches and injury prevention, bed.  When you get a good routine, guard it with your life. No interruptions tolerated without significant advance warning, or absolute emergencies. 

It highlighted a treasure chest for me to click on. I did, thinking that it was another lesson or reward, and it forced me to start a Super trial with no way of opting out.  I didn't want to try a Super trial until my finances were more stable (I make decent money atm, just suck at managing it and my roommate owes me about $8000 in overdue rent payments) and I haven't had time to use the premium features since I only use Duolingo for 10-15 mins a day for my spanish, japanese, and Norwegian. So this is kind of dumb. Sure, the trial is free but I'm not gonna get the use out of it that I want. I wanted to wait until I was close to actually wanting to pay, though admittedly I have major subscription fatigue right now.  Prob gonna just use Duo as a daily warmup and switch over to Dreaming Spanish to attack that language first.  I did not ask for this yet you homicidal owl 

I'm going to try and complete at least 1 challenge. I'll just use Java since I'm the most familiar with it. Though sometimes I want to do C++.  My yearly challenges are usually: July: Art Fight October: Drawtober November: Rough Draft Challenge (formerly NaNo) -- didn't do it this year BUT fixed my routines up which is huge December: Advent of Code Also I'm using Habitica and WOW this app has made me significantly more on TRACK. Why didn't I start this earlier? Well, I think my brain went "it's probably paid lol" and thus I never looked into it. NOPE, it's open source and free! Break was good. Man I love Santa Barbara. Especially the zoo.  Currently running on Bucked Up and spite. Will need to sleep early tonight, or else I'll be soup tomorrow.
