For the second week, I drew some pretty simple cards. My sidequests included taking a break from tech for 2 hours, drinking 5 cups of water, and learning a new word.

The tech break was easy. I just curled up with some comics and read for awhile.

Drinking 5 cups of water was a little harder. First off was the interpretation – does it matter what size cup I choose? If I mostly drink bottled water, should I drink 5 bottles of water? Or should I measure out 5 literal cups? In order to be technical, I decided on 5 literal cups. 1 cup of water is equal to 8 ounces which is roughly 240 ml, multiplied by 5 is 1200 ml total to drink. The bottled water I tend to buy comes in at 500 ml per bottle so finishing 3 bottles of water in a day seemed practical to completing the task and being a little safely over. And I managed to complete that.

Learning a new word is a little harder. I decided to google “word of the day” several times last week to see if someone’s word of the day was something I wasn’t familiar with, but didn’t have a lot of luck. Checking again today did finally net me a new word that I wasn’t familiar with through the Miriam-Webster Dictionary website’s word of the day:

So, last minute save! At least I didn’t have to pull out a dictionary and start browsing from A.
