Stayed out of my lonesome shell called bedroom.

Played Risk for the first time, instead of doing my essay.

Finished it this morning, and conversed strategies with Beth for our next Risk moves.

It's nice to live in the same house so that we can leave our board games untouched till next time we are free.

So what did I need for that boost of motivation?

I don't know, but I made myself a large dish of spicy food and drank a lot of water.

Lovely spicy motivation.
