I started the day by watching videos from ReligionForBreakfast about the Hajj and the Kaaba in Islam. I watched other videos after that and was waiting to invite someone for VHH. Once we got in VHH, it was just the usual me playing a few videos from SNARLED and stuff. Nothing noteworthy happened, but at 3 a.m. we watched aespa's music video for the song "Live My Life" and it was cool, even though they had already watched it beforehand without me. We left VHH after that but I continued to watch YT Shorts until 4 a.m. and eventually slept.

I timed in early for work but started work late. I still felt groggy and sick for the most part. I overslept and eventually, it was around 10 a.m. when I properly woke up. Someone said that I was the frog in the "avoiding my silly little tasks" image and they changed their profile picture to the frog typing on the laptop. After that, we had a conversation about them wanting to resign, them saying that they were so burned out, and they sent a few articles regarding burnout. They took a while between responses and we just chatted for the whole shift. I did my work tasks in the background and it was essentially smooth sailing being in my meeting despite my bad cough. Thankfully, I had enough spare time and I still felt okay enough to do some light exercise. During my exercise, I stumbled upon an old favorite song by Owl City, it was really nice to listen to and it gave me the kick I needed to really motivate me further. Eventually, the end of my shift came.

I talked to a few friends on Slowly and replied to their letters. I even asked someone to not disturb me under the guise of me working just so I could focus and reply to their letters. Then someone told me that I should find places to trade hearts in Sky and I joined this Discord server. Also, someone said that they would be at Miss Nell's house tomorrow so I was disappointed to just cancel my plans with them for tomorrow. I'm really pissed off because we had another agreement that just turned out to be bullshit. I tried to reschedule and got to Monday since I couldn't schedule for the weekends.

Eventually, I invited someone for VHH and we played Sky again. We mostly explored around. At first, we tried our best to unlock the spirit of the Thoughtful Director so that someone can try to buy from them. We needed 2 more people to help us and we scrambled to find some. Thankfully, 2 other players showed up and I immediately asked someone to TP to me and we unlocked the director's spirit with the help of others. After that, we went to the Hidden Forest for the grandma event at around 7:35 p.m. and explored more. We then had to go to the Sanctuary Islands so I could show them the turtle which was the next event in the event clock. We had to collect a few children of light so we could upgrade our wings, and we eventually found the turtle after a while. We rode on its back and a few other players joined us. Then our characters almost drowned after it dove down to the bottom of the ocean. We explored the islands for a bit more until we had to unlock this spirit for a new emote, which frustrated us both because we had to carry the spirit's light to the top of the mountain. Thankfully, we did well on our first try (despite many setbacks) and we unlocked a new pouting emote.

Since we had nothing else to do, I decided to upgrade our friendship tree further and we unlocked a few emotes for each other. Finally, we reached the emote wherein one person would sit on top of the other's shoulders. This greatly helped in our expedition because we would never run out of flight and we essentially "gamed" our way into traversing Sky much more easily. This is what Nicole does with her alt account and we managed to successfully unlock it ourselves. We eventually explored the Golden Wasteland because we were too scared of it before, but now it was super easy to traverse despite the krill wandering around. It was really fun and we got to the end of the map. Someone left after that and eventually, I disconnected from the call as well. We kept talking for a while but someone had to sleep and I napped, which ended the day.
