MUSIC: OVERCOOKED OVERWORLD MUSIC

Stayed in bed pretty late then went to go work at a local coffee shop.
Came back home, ate a snack, and then played Overcooked with my fiance.

She's asleep right now, but I'm going through and playing some of the
levels solo -- pretty fun!

Someone (can't remember off the top of my head) made a phlog post about
taking a Maycation from social media and I've been doing the same.
Meant to post about it before now.

Essentially, I'm cutting out a lot of Reddit that used to take up most
of my mornings in bed. Android has a feature lately that lets you set a
daily time limit for apps. For Reddit, mine is 20 minutes, and this
feels like the perfect amount. Enough to catch up on a few subreddits I
enjoy (programming and a minimalism/frugal living multireddit), but
without falling into the Random, Go 5-10 pages in, next Random, and
repeat trap.

I am still allowing: Lobsters, any gopher-hosted content I can find,
and anything that pops up in Google Assistant's news feed. I find that
the news feed is one I could do without, but it's just so tempting when
I open a new tab to search for something. I guess that's their
intention.

I haven't really cooked much the past couple of days. I'm hoping to get
back into it soon.

I've also been continuing my search for houses. It's hard to say
whether the market just isn't good right now, or if my budget is too
low to find any good houses. As a 20-something, first time home buyer,
_and_ still in grad school, it makes finding (good) houses pretty
difficult.
