I woke up at about 10 p.m. Right now it's a little after 1 a.m. But already stuff has happened that I want to blog about.

I was working on micro crosswords (more on that later) when I needed to poop. Boy did I need to. But it was a large one that got stuck and it hurt. Eventually more came and dislodged it and it felt better. But lesson learned: Don't hold in poop when you don't need to.

Now for the micro crosswords part: I've been making these really small crosswords ever since I discovered the New York Times makes them. I've been solving them without an account almost daily on the website. It usually takes less than 1 minute to solve, but it's fun anyway. I decided to make some, and I just now put my results on a website of my own. I have been making 8x8 ones, but I dialed back to around 5x5 when I discovered the New York Times ones were smaller.

I'd like to start submitting them, but I don't feel I need the money. I don't want the money they pay. I just want the crosswords to be solved by someone other than me. I've been making these things for about 24 years now. I guess it's just a way to spend my time waiting for my life to end.

Later today if I feel like it, I'll go back to work on Minigame Mayhem. There is one minigame left I need to put in. If anyone has any ideas, let me know. I tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't. I guess 12 hours of sleep is enough even though I'm still sleepy.
