Still making sure all the systems are integrated together...Death, XP, Levels, Level-Up Rewards, XP Bar, Themes for Skill Library and Skillbar
If more than 50 million levels are gained at once, the game lags for a few seconds. Maybe level-up rewards could be divvied out more efficently, but apparently the highest level in any game is 65,535 (Fallout 4 and Guardian's Crusade). I'm not going to worry about a Guinness-tier edge case now, if ever.

The USPS tracking tab on my phone had my neoprene coming in on the 15th. I refreshed, and it changed to the 16th with "arriving on time." On time means nothing if you can just change the target date like that...
Move to Skill Target, Debug, Theme for Inventory, Inspect Menu, Debug
Identical (or worse, incompatibly different) code for getting the name from the translation server is scattered everywhere. Instead, I'm moved it to the entity object from which characters, skills, items, etc, are all derived. I wonder if I should phase out display_name altogether and always retrieve the name from the translation server.

My package is still "arriving on time" despite being updated to the 17th by 9 P.M.
Inspect Menu, Themes for Store
Now character inherits from tangible which inherits from entity, so I moved inspect menu code to tangible. I think it'll be easier to keep everything consistent if it's all done within a shared object.

Visited a few guildmates at Universal, Gatorland, and Daytona Beach. We also did karaoke in Orlando, putt-putt in Daytona, and played Jackbox with the guild at night over hotel wifi. I did really bad at all the scored activities, but I did crush in Jackbox hehe. I've never been to Universal or the beach before, and it was one of the most fun weeks of my life. It was also really cool meeting everyone.
Finished my swimsuit, 4 mock turtlenecks, and repaired a pair of jeans in time for the trip, too, so I was able to look nice. Next I want to sew a new outfit for my vintage doll, some pajamas, and a jacket.
Kitty hasn't stopped purring and acting like a kitten since he's gotten out of boarding. They might have put the fear into him.

Mostly spent my birthday sleeping and catching up on chores, but I was able to redeem my birthday coupon at Publix for free ice cream. I thought it would be a pint, but they gave me a whole half-gallon. They're seriously vying for best birthday program, but Sephora maybe wins 2021. My lips have never looked so big and hydrated before Sephora's Laneige lip mask freebie (and I'm in the middle of a harsh, dry winter).

My husband's hosting Christmas this year, but the new house still has lots of random boxes and cluttered surfaces. They'll be in town in two weeks, so cleaning is top priority. We barely have any furniture or decorations, so I hope it goes okay. They don't .
My Christmas cactus is flowering. :)
