Spent a few hours with a book of logic puzzles. I didn't even eat anything until dinner.
So how was your day?

That sounds like a great day. Sometimes a day where you do absolutely nothing is exactly what you need. I love your stove. What's the white stuff, is that just ash? Looks more like flour.

Sounds like you need to go to the "do you meditate" thread and answer "yes." If you sit around all day enjoying harsh weather from a distance that probably counts. And if you did any logic puzzles, then you exercised your brain. You may need to try harder to do nothing.
