This was a very nice interpretation of the theme and a fun game to play! At some point I did establish a new loop of life (buying groceries every two days, cooking, walk, library, write until the next day) since I was able to live of my contest winnings and sleep only affected my mood which I balanced out with library visits and walks.
For me it was a very appropriate level of optimism I think. Just a small encouragement to try to do more things that make you happy. Very nice, hope you manage to recover from the jam stress and the unhappy loop life and flesh this out a bit more!
