I did make my soup this morning! It's okay. Needs more stuff in it, I think, but it's got what I had in, and it's not bad!

I also did manage to get out of bed and do some more paint stripping! I think this board needs a third go-over, but at least I got through the second pass today! Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to do that, and start on another board. Will depend on the weather as much as anything else, I think, I am. Extremely unlikely to go out and do some while it's raining, even if I'm technically undercover. Too cold!!!

Anyway, bed now! Yes! >:

Yeah, today was also. Not great. Didn't get out of bed until almost dark again, etc. etc. etc. I did at least go and get food, though, so that's something. I think I'll put soup on tomorrow morning, have that for dinner. Yes. I probably should've bought some more veggies to hide in it, but I forgot until now, whoops!

Sibling will be back over tomorrow, which is at least an external motivation to get the fuck out of bed and do stuff!

It was in fact NOT better today. It was actually worse. /o\

But! I did FINALLY take a fucking shower! It was at like 10:30pm, but I did finally take one!

Not sure exactly WHY my brain is bouncing off basic fucking hygiene so hard at the moment - probably something to do with it being cold, but it's not just that - but it really, really is. :/

But at least I've taken it now, so I can go food shopping tomorrow!!! >: The most important thing! (Here is a thing I have learned today: green beans don't really go in instant noodles. Texture is not quite right. Still, a vegetable is a vegetable...)

I did... absolutely nothing on my to-do list today. I didn't even get out of bed until like. 5? It was almost dark, I know that much. SIGH.

I did at least apply for some jobs, which I've gotten into the habit of and so didn't put on my to-do list, but still. Fuck executive dysfunction, what a pain. Not surprised though, this is generally how it goes. :/

I HAVE to go shopping tomorrow though, I'm out of uh. Most foods. So hopefully that'll give me a kick in the ass to do other things, too. Hopefully!!!

I did do some knitting though, almost done with the switch cover! Just gotta bind off and then probably block it. Never had to block anything before, so that'll be an adventure! (Mama blocked the shawl I gave her. I was gonna do it, but she had it washed and blocked out before I could even say I was gonna! XD;;;) First thing will, of course, be finding the mats! But I do know where pins are, so that's something...

Still cold! Dislike! (I mean sure it's the middle of fucking winter but that does not make me like it any more. So gross.)

But! I did set up the long skirting boards in the carport - didn't get one fully done, but I DID start with the longest one and it's ALMOST done, I just kinda ran out of light. :/ (Again, with the winter! Boo!) Sibling got the drum sanding done today, too, which is excellent. :3 Not gonna rent the next sander until next week, so I'll have some quiet days which is nice. (Do need to go in and vacuum and mop, just to try and keep some dust control going, but hey. That's not actually too hard.)

Tentative plan is to have at least all the paint stripping done by Monday - I DEFINITELY want to start painting early next week - but we'll see how it goes! I also need to go food shopping again, so I'mma try and do that tomorrow since it's not the weekend? Ugh, I should have showered tonight, whoops. Too late now! Guess I'll do it after breakfast.

Very Much Dislike this room - it's drafty as fuck. This isn't helped by needing to have the door open enough to let the cats come in and out as they please, of course. (There is. So much whining if I don't. Also I don't want Sushi to figure out how to open THIS door, TOO, since he seems to have forgotten.) But even when I'm awake and alert enough to have the door closed and just open/close it when needed, the second I turn the heater off the temperature PLUMMETS. :( :( :(

Anyway hopefully it'll just be a couple of weeks, though today went... uh. Well let's just say Sibling spit the dummy in the late afternoon. To be fair the MAIN thing that went wrong was the massive rented sander was uh. Busted. So that involved a corporate phone tree-style phone call and going back and swapping it for a different one. None of which is Sibling's fault, and also extremely annoying! BUT the second thing that went wrong is just... one of those things that happens... and it got me yelled at, pmuch because I was there I think?? Which is. Not fun. This sort of shit is why we're not really friends! :/

I had a couple of things I wanted some advice on, but uh THAT didn't happen, but I DID finish stripping a couple of boards, and sanded back all but one of the ones that've been done. (That last one is one of the things I wanted advice on! There's a nail slightly sticking out and I'm not sure if it's enough to wreck the sandpaper, but I also couldn't get it to go in further. Which might be a me problem! Thus, advice!)

I'm thinking I might see if we've got a decent enough dropcloth and do the long ones in the carport, though. They're too long for both the table and the workbench, so... Anyway, tomorrow task! I'mma go nap now yes. >:

Today's Big Task was... I moved my computer! Ugh, what a pain. WHAT A PAIN. Hate. But it's all here, and while it's not as comfortable a set up as in my room I DO get to use a comfier chair, which is nice. Shoulders are already complaining though, so hopefully I can move back soon... I suspect I'll be doing a lot more crafting and playing pokemon while I'm in here, which isn't actually a bad thing.

Also gotta find the fucking allen key for the monitor stand; one of the joints is loose and in the new config that's uh making it Difficult. Monitor's being propped up at the moment but it's still not ideal, so yeaaaah. Couldn't find the actual allen key sets easily though and I was just kinda. Done. So that's a tomorrow task.

Also cleaned the chook coop and did some more work on the skirting boards! Gonna try and get a lot more done on the skirting boards tomorrow, maybe strip back one of the BIG ones. A little worried at how long those are gonna take, not gonna lie...

Anyway, now is time for sleeps! Couch in here is uh. Not even vaguely as comfortable as mine, so not really looking forward to finding out what the state of my back will be in the morning, but Oh Well. Might get some extra cushions out of my room tomorrow, will see how it goes. Already know I want to get a lamp, I forgot there wasn't one in here already.

Ugh I am TIRED um

Today there was a lot of floor stuff! I mopped THREE TIMES, and ALSO used the vacuum, plus helped Sibling out with some stuff. And! I learned how to use the paint stripper (gross but effective!) to clean up the skirting boards.

Annoyingly, it turns out we don't have a fucking drill here - my father gave the one I KNEW we had to Sibling, apparently, so Sibling has to bring one back over tomorrow. ANNOYING. (Also annoying: my father takes the cordless drill with him camping, because instead of using pegs he just bolts things into the ground. I just. C'moooon.)

Other than that, not a huge amount, honestly. I should not be so tired I zone out like I have been uuuuugh. But bed now. Yes.

I didn't do some of the stuff I wanted to today, as usual, but I DID do a bunch of stuff, so that's something! Reorganised my display case already, got rid of a bunch of the smoll things and put in an eevee display - got a few big plushes, now, so having them somewhere they won't get dusty will be nice. Added a couple of things I could put some of the bowls I have shells in on top of, too, gives it some height differentiation AND you can fit more stuff in that way, which is pretty great! Need to figure if I can do something similar for some of the dragons, too, without blocking out the biggest ones in the back. Not sure!

Also moved a bunch of my stuff, but not everything yes - computer's still here, for example. Maybe will do that tomorrow, but we'll see how it goes, will depend on how far Sibling gets with stuff.

New mass outbreak event in pokemon, so have downloaded that update. Haven't played any, though, switch was suuuuper out of battery and needs to charge. Could barely get it to turn on so I could get the update. (Because I am impatient. It'd probably be fine to play NOW, but I should go to bed, so...)

Getting up was extremely difficult this morning, because bed comfy world cold. Also, cat snuggles. But I did eventually do it! And went to the shops and got food!

Nothing much else today, though, bleh.

Sibling was over again today! ( Today's home improvement ramble is mostly about skirting boards. )

Other than that... I did some washing! Had a late afternoon nap! Nothing much else. Really gotta go to the shops tomorrow. I should really be eating something more nutritious than three ingredient pasta. (Pasta, dried shiitake, peas. Plus cheese, but that's added afterwards.) So uh yeah I should get to bed so I can do that...

Actually succeeding in going to bed early!

I even did all the things on my to-do list today, which is pretty nice. :3 :3 :3

Not that I did HUGE amounts, but I did finally fucking shower, so there's that.

Sibling came over for a bit to bash nails back in - took way less time than expected, the floor really is in good condition.

Cats are both pretty snuggly at the moment, which is extremely nice. :3

Got up and fed cats, applied for some jobs, had a nap, as is normal.

Did not wake up again until after it was dark.

So, naturally, I've been a complete space case with withdrawal and hate everything and am just. Not great. At all.

Been yelling at myself to go the fuck to sleep again for like... four hours now but of course I'm still awake, fuck executive dysfunction in the face ugh.

But I am going for real this time!!! >:
