- Turned my Linux terminal into a whimsy goth altar — dark purples, soft glow, and a tiny ASCII cat.
- Added a lunar cycle widget that updates automatically. It’s unnecessary and perfect.
- Created a “crystal washing” timer alias in the terminal. It makes me laugh every time I use it.

- Salem the Moon Cat has become surprisingly productive lately. I’ve added a small script where he “scans” my Linux machine for little anomalies — nothing serious, just harmless checks that make the terminal feel alive.
- He now gives me tiny mindfulness prompts — this has been me experimenting with dispatcher scripts. I simply type salem breath and it prints a cute, simple mindfulness exercise.
- I’ve also started experimenting with small animations for him. It’s silly and grounding, and adds a bit of digital hygge to the terminal.

- Learned the Neocities supporter features — buttons, hotlinking, and how to structure assets cleanly now that I have supporter tools available.
- Created a first‑pass greyscale fireplace pixel image for the homepage. It’s rough, but it establishes the direction and can be refined later.
- Completed a gentle pixel‑art skill drill (dithering/shading/shape refinement) to keep technique improving without pressure.
- Maintained the slow‑burn rhythm despite low energy and lingering illness — still moved the creative ecosystem forward.
