Sept 18

Better mood this morning, it's more of a lack of motivation than outright depression.  As a result, I have high hopes to be productive today.

Another unexpected crash from the game.  These are frustrating, but it looks like I'm going to have to refuse to allow the player to pick up a second backpack or come up with some other way to fix the problem, since it's certainly possible for the game to spawn multiple backpacks.

I think the biggest struggle I've been having with burnout lately is that I've run out of interesting places to bike.  Just about everywhere I can think of to go is somewhere I've already been multiple times.  I'm hoping that as the weather gets colder, starting to ski will re-invigorate me.  For now, the biking has ceased to be fun for the most part, and is simply something I'm doing because I know it clears my head and allows me to get more work done.  I'll have to spend some time looking for other places to go.

Only rode about 11 miles, but averaged 17MPH, so not too slouchy.  Man, the difference between the cross bike and the touring bike is significant.

Still feeling like avoiding work, but not as bad as it's been earlier this week.  Let's get cleaned up and see what I can actually get done!

Making good progress on Idamu Caverns.  Quests are turning out to be a little more complicated than I originally expected, but I'm confident that they will be ready by the promised date.

I worry about money a lot.  One of the easiest ways to stop worrying about something is to prove to yourself that it's not really a problem.  Current projections say that if I continue using money at the rate I am, my savings will last me at least until the middle of next year.  While longer would be better, and give me a better chance of actually succeeding at this business, I feel a lot more confident than I did 20 minutes ago when I was guessing that my savings will hit critical before next spring even arrives.
