    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;So, lately we've been reading a lot of travel blog posts from &lt;a href="https://100r.co/"&gt;Hundred Rabbits&lt;/a&gt;, and it makes us want to blog more. Not daily, but like ... ever, y'know? To create something that people can read.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As the subject line says, this week's been very unfocused because this has been specifically a rest week - and I mean "we told our fellow mods we'd be gone until Monday" rest, we have no unfun obligations at all. (Well, almost none - we posted on &lt;a href="https://www.patreon.com/packbat"&gt;our TTRPG patreon&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://ko-fi.com/thepackbats"&gt;our TTRPG ko-fi&lt;/a&gt;, but shh.) Lately we've been in a state of staring at each obligation blankly and wondering if this is &lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://packbat.dreamwidth.org/335451.html#cutid1"&gt;okay this got a little dark&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;, so we really needed some time when we did not have to do that.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(...okay, the unfun obligations thing is almost twice - we did set ourselves a goal to get or make a cover image for an itch.io jam. It's not made, and that's okay - the jam is not gonna be until February.)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, what did this rest week look like?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___2" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://packbat.dreamwidth.org/335451.html#cutid2"&gt;...I mean, I don't know, we weren't paying attention. But [...]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___2" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, like, a lot is happening? But most of it is what we want to do in that moment, and we can drop it whenever. And we do, regularly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We'll see what happens tomorrow. For today, that's where we're at.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=packbat&amp;ditemid=335451" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
