    <content type="html">&amp;nbsp;The PC continues to behave for the most part, with very few things that still need ironing out. I need to adjust the settings on the Plex server to ensure that it doesn't cause our internet to crash (which it did a couple of times, though I'm not entirely sure why), but other than that I haven't had any problems. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which means I'm back to writing again! Yay! I'm still only squeezing maybe a couple hundred words a day which is a bit frustrating, but it's something I can work on. I know part of it has been due to squeezing said writing into a short block of time at the start or end of the day, and I can better adjust it going forward. I think what I need is a good day or afternoon off where I can get a good three-hour session in, and that should inspire me to give it all a closer focus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, if you're not connected to the Discord me and my (mostly) east coast friends have, the Big News is that our downstairs neighbor has FINALLY moved out! She was definitely a piece of work. Not exactly a hateful or spiteful person, just someone who had no concept of Other People Also Live In This Building. Classics such as a line of terrible boyfriends, occasional loud partying until 1am, having a party on the roof when no one's supposed to be up there, yelling at her dog whenever it barked, and so on. I'm pretty sure she hated A and I for calling her out on her bullshit every now and again (and rightfully so: who the fuck does drunken karaoke at 11pm on a weeknight in an apartment building??), which made it all that much funnier that we are definitely the favorites of our landlady. Heh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway! Today's my day off before I start another wave of weird schedules at the Day Job. Our head bookkeeper is going on a two-week vacation which means I'll be opening at 5:30am five days a week during that time (Wednesday through Sunday). This unfortunately means waking up at 4:15 so I can shower and have breakfast, but on the plus side it means I'm out by early afternoon, just like the YC days. This will definitely give me writing time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On that note...going to make the most of today by prepping the blogs, hitting the 750Words and working on MU4!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=jon_chaisson&amp;ditemid=1018623" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
