Milestone

One hundred seventeen days sober. Morning: 7hrs strange sleep, dreams not remembered, quite groggy, functioning quickly, mood 5, no somatics. Day described: everything done by 14:45. Decision to stop logging fog/rubble in mornings (only at EOD for accuracy). By evening: fog 0, rubble 2, mood 5, baseline higher all round but boredom remains. 'I need to find more stimulation but I've no idea where to start.' The crisis is over. The repair is working. But ordinary life feels flat. This is Phase 2 territory: not survival, but living. Master Summary v22.0 deemed complete for Phase 1; rewrite for Phase 2 planned. Daily one-liners (Day 1 to Day 117) and Airtable now serve as the primary archive. Fog 0. Rubble 2. Immune 10. Fuel normal. Mood 5. Stable enough. Meh. But baseline raised.

Strategic Developments

• [Pattern: Raised Baseline] — Not a dramatic spike. Just... higher than before. The sawtooth has climbed. • [Signal: Boredom as the New Frontier] — No crisis. No emergency. Just flat ordinary life. Phase 2 territory. • [Expectation: Phase 2 Rewrite] — New handbook when lighthouse opens (Day 184).

Sovereign Archive

Day 117. Baseline raised. Fog 0. Rubble 2. Meh but stable. The crisis is over. The repair works. But boredom remains. Need stimulation. No idea where to start. That's Phase 2. Not survival. Living. Airtable and one-liners hold the map. Day 184. The lighthouse opens.

Cause

Day 117 of cannabis cessation + raised baseline + boredom as new frontier + Airtable as source of truth

Improvement

Fog 0 (clear). Baseline raised. Stable. No crisis. Boredom identified as next challenge.
