the self-imposed quarantine continued throughout today. it was a pretty good day of vitamin c and video games, that is until the power went out. it wasn't out for long, but sadly the save file for our video game (where we were 70% finished) deleted itself. now i feel like i've accomplished even less. although i suppose if a small power outage (it came back in about an hour) and having to start a video game over from the beginning are my only problems (not to mention the stupid cold that won't go away), then life is actually pretty good.
