4:22 p.m., Monday the 5th
I caught up on everything yesterday (well, technically by a little after midnight). I'll probably do so again today, although we have the pop culture trivia game in about an hour, and that will burn more than an hour, in and of itself.
I won today's Chess game versus a computer bot, and technically it was a clean game, but I guess I was bummed that I took one move more than necessary to checkmate Jade. It was a really close game, which made it stressful. For a long time, we were down to each of us having a king and some pawns and one minor piece. She had a bishop, I had a knight. Because the board was so open by then, I considered the bishop to be more advantageous than the knight, especially since I don't consider myself to be very adept at working a knight. But, somehow I pulled through, and promoted two pawns. Checkmating is always ridiculously easy when you have two queens, so at that point, I was in my comfort zone.
