Ok, (short) story time:
At some point early last week, the CO2 alarm in every apartment in my building went on and stayed on for about 2 hours. Now, Austin was frozen over, and there's still covid, so there was nowhere to go and nothing to do. I sat on my couch with my old college laptop, put earplugs in my ears, prayed the electricity would stay on, and tried to figure out what to do with myself.
Long story short, I started an RTS prototype based on a game I no longer have access to called Susume Tactics:

Unfortunately, I can't tell you much more about the project. With school closed and so much shut down, I transitioned to spending most of my free time each day working on it. It helped with my anxiety over figuring out sponge baths, my shrinking supplies, my growing pile of clothes, the possibility that my water wouldn't return when the freeze broke. Then, the freeze broke, and just like that my motivation was gone.
I'm not sure exactly how much time I spent on this project. I know I wasn't close to finished, and that 3 more hours won't change that. I know I've slacked on my school assignments and my exercise. So, as part of trying to get myself back to somewhere stable, I'm taking the rest of today off. Next week, I'll be returning to the whole 3 hour project in a week thing.
Until next time.
