Tried to do some worldbuilding today with conlangs. My brain wasn't really working for it, but I was at least able to update the sheet of my current WIP language to match how it's evolved in my head. Had to look at the glosses I made for it a while ago and remember how the fuck I did those too. Part of the problem is not knowing what part of it to work on next, but the main problem is really just not being able to properly focus on it. I just kinda relaxed after that and went back to Half Life 2. Starting a new playthrough, but skipping ahead to Route Kanal because I just don't wanna sit through the intro again. Idk what issue I had with my enjoyment last time but the game has clicked for me again. Playing it on hard as well and it feels way less hard than Black Mesa. I'm kinda willing to say that Black Mesa is too hard now, though it didn't really ruin the experience for me until the helicopter fights.

Also, I'm feeling more concerned about my weight again. I'm trying to eat less and (mostly) succeeding on that by just cutting out snacks, but I still need to get exercise too. The obvious choice is going for a walk, but I usually can't muster up the spoons to like, leave the house for a walk. The obvious other choice is just going up and down the stairs. I did try doing that right now, but the base of the steps creaks and I don't wanna wake people up, so it'll have to wait for tomorrow.
