Opening the channel

Man, when I came back from Buenos Aires it felt like I backtracked a bunch on my progress.  But it really didn't take too much time to realize that's not the case.  I got back into my normal routine.  Fortunately, I got back to my cold plunge of which I've been making judicious and liberal use.   

So much of my vacation time was spent walking around the city looking around, exercising my eyes without vision training.  I got back and began walking around as a normal exercise, but also doing the Columns exercise as well as plenty of VR.  VR has changed quite a bit.  It is quite a bit more immersive, even though I am not yet there, and I do not yet have fusion.  I think what's happening now is that my brain is working on using the two visual channels in tandem now that the motor ability of both eyes is pretty high.  One is still a bit weaker than the other and the text for one of the double images is a bit smaller and weaker.  

I switched from Pavlov VR to Half-Life: Alyx recently, which I had not played in a long time.  And damn, it's almost a different game, and it feels very different from how I remembered it as my vision improved so much since the last time I played it.  The depth is so much more pronounced.  It definitely feels like I'm somewhere between 2d and 3d.  However, I have noticed that when playing these games it is very enjoyable using my new vision.  I've put so many hours into these games, there's no longer any novelty to them.  But I have injected novelty into them with my new vision.  The games are different from how I remember them.  I'm noticing a lot more details than I never noticed before, and I'm sure that this is solidifying and improving the vision.  Just have to keep going, opening the channel, wearing the groove, taking cold plunges.  

Also, my sleeping has been absolute shit lately.  I have noticed in the past that this has corresponded with changes with my vision as well.
