jhameiaPools are reopening, and it looks like the Holiday Villa pool has also reopened. They had a Facebook post about how people need to call 24 hours beforehand to book a slot to use the pool, which I guess is their new crowd control SOP. I'll call tomorrow to find out what other measures they're taking, and see if I can book multiple visits a week beforehand. It's a little weird to think about it, but I think it'll make me more disciplined in going regularly.

I've been leaning forward at the screen squinting a LOT. Either I need glasses, or I need a new monitor, because this 15" screen is no longer cutting it. If it was actually on my lap it's bearable, but I haven't been writing like that for some time. I have a wireless keyboard and mouse, because I hate the up-down keys on my laptop and it just isn't efficient. But using the keyboard means the screen is further from my face.
SO! My dad got a new computer recently, one of those All-in-One types. (It's also where my current keyboard/mouse are from). So he didn't need his old monitor and had offered it to my brother. And my brother just got a new rig to game on (he called me over to show me how his CPU lights up, it's very pretty) so he doesn't need a new monitor either (he's got a new big one that's also bendy which is hilarious).
Therefore I claimed the monitor for myself, got myself an HDMI cable, and WOW checking PDF changes is SO MUCH EASIER with a second screen than moving back and forth between windows, and it was faster to work like this. Before I'd have to have so many breaks because my eyes were tired from squinting so much, and my shoudlers are stiff from hunching over.
Considering getting a new computer completely, with a mini-tower, so I can have TWO big monitors instead, like a true nerd.

I am falling back on bad habits in getting so distracted I'm not getting as much work done though, and I don't... really know what to do about that. I'm so anxious I can't get to sleep properly, and then so tired during the day I can't work properly, augh!!! I can't even focus enough for my longhand writing.
