| 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!!! >:

| So Sibling came over and started working on the floorboards today. By which I mean all the carpet is now gone! >D The floorboards under there are SO NICE, too! Mostly shouldn't be much work to get them into good condition, too - there are a couple of dodgy bits, one where someone's put in some kind of fucked up filler in, and another where someone REALLY fucked up the sanding, so it's got marks, and didn't sand it back and fix it, so those'll have to be fixed. But still!
I helped a bit, too, with taking the carpet outside, and cleaning some stuff. If Sibling doesn't come back tomorrow I'll give it a mop as well, I think - it'll need a few to get some of the ground in dust on the edges up. Did a little bit of that when I was cleaning up the little bits of rubber underlay that got stuck to the floorboards, but I was using a scourer so it was kinda impractical to do all of it.
Still gotta clean out the heating ducts innards, they are uh. Not in great shape. But I ran out of stamina before I could do that. (Also it was like 10pm because I am SO TERRIBLE at time management, sigh.)
I did also get most of the stuff on my to-do list done, which is good. Major thing I didn't was uh. Showering. Whoops. >>;;; That can be delayed until tomorrow though! For sure! >>;;
Anyway. I didn't actually get a nap today so I've been up for like. Um. A long time. Sushi woke me up at ~9:15. Going to bed now!!!!

| I actually pmuch did as planned today! Perhaps a little more hiding from the cold in the morning than intended, but I was back from the shops by noon, so happy enough with that!
Considering rearranging my display cabinet already - not really surprising given you never know how things are going to work out until after you've done them, but kinda annoying anyway. But I think it should be good, if I can get it to work! Just gotta... actually do it. Also it'll leave me without places for a bunch of the small things, but tbh they're wasted in the display cabinet anyway, they CAN go a LOT more places, whereas bigger things? Not so much...

| Bit of a 'mode change' kind of day. Getting stuff set up/moved around/checked on etc since I'm now doing everything, sorta thing. I have discovered that my father packed ALL of the frozen leftovers to take with them (to Mama's surprise, too, when I texted her to check if I was just missing stuff), so I've REALLY got to shop tomorrow. I knew I probably should, but usually there's at least some pasta sauce in the freezer, and my father made beans recently so I thought some of the leftovers would be in there, but nope. All gone!
I think I'll go to the asian grocery tomorrow, since it's the weekend and the normal supermarkets will be pretty busy, and get dumplings etc. (It's in the opposite direction to the other supermarkets, so noooot a good idea to do both on the same day. Though at least it's cold enough that I wouldn't have to worry much about stuff defrosting. On the other hand, who wants to be out in that weather longer than they have to be?)

| My parents have gone away for a couple of months! Finally! I get some time to myself. And also. Quiet. Just. It's so much quieter, it's great.
Anyway, nothing huge today. Slept a lot, because no one to make me get up (and also tired from yesterday). I even did some tidying! :D Also sewed a patch on my bag awww yeah :D :D :D
|
|
| So I didn't actually get any tidying done today, either.
However, as this was mainly because I was helping my parents move furniture around, and put blankets over the one large gap? Pseudo arch? IDK the thing where there's no wall between rooms, open plan bullshit except this is baked into the bones of the house from well before open plan was a thing (it's between the lounge and dining area. Not unusual to have glass double doors somewhere like that, but no doors here, just a gap. IDK). Anyway that was a LOT of lifting/coordinating/maneuvering and it was fairly tiring!
Also later in the evening I helped my father download all his books onto his new kindle - the previous one died, and he was happy with how it worked so he got a new one, as you do. ( What the shit, Amazon. )
So anyway the upshot of that is that if anyone knows of an ereader that's kindle-level reliable and doesn't do that shit, plz to let us know. (My father had a Kobo originally but it died in less than a year, so he's a little skeptical about Kobos specifically. The previous kindle lasted 8-9 years and my father is not a light user, which is the main reason he just went and got another one when it died.)
Anyway! Not really a lot else in between all that. Lot of time spent flopped recovering! Furniture is heavy! (Particularly the couch. I mean, the solid is good most of the time, but...)
Sleepin' nao, yes.

| I did SO MUCH SOCIAL today omg. Went in and got lunch with A, like I said yesterday, and it was stupid crowded so it was extra draining. Was fun, though! :D
And then I came home and like... five minutes after that my parents came home, and Sibling wasn't long behind them, so I didn't get much of a nap. I mean, I still tried but it wasn't as easy as when the house is quiet, bleh.
But we had dinner (thankfully take away, not going anywhere!), and it was good? But yeah, I am drained as hell. Not helped by catching up on Azy's game thing which ate like... an hour and a half just before now um. >>;; Should've put the off until tomorrow, but too late now!
Sleeps nao though. Attempt to do more house stuff tomorrow, yes.

|
| I DID manage to go get meds before lunch, so I'm pleased with that! :3
Other than that, fairly standard day. Kinda falling off the tidying wagon, whoops. >>;; Going to go meet A for lunch tomorrow, and then we're having dinner with Sibling, so may also not do any tomorrow, but should definitely do some on Thursday! >: >: >:

| Pretty productive today, actually! I got up when Sushi insisted on breakfast, as planned, and then I had my own breakfast and cleaned the chook coop! AND I applied for some jobs and stuff before I had a nap!
Given how late I always seem to go to bed, I really do think going back to a split-sleep cycle is gonna be better for me. I definitely remember it being better, anyway, it's just it don't work so good with a 9-5.
I need to go pick up meds again, so hopefully I'll be able to repeat the get up-eat a food-go DO something sequence again for that! >: But gotta go sleep first, hahahaha!
|
|
| Not a HUGE amount today, but I did do some tidying, and went for a walk with Mama! :D That was nice. Also Minecraft.
Tomorrow I do have some more stuff I want to get done, so we'll see how much energy I have once Sushi wakes me up...
|
|
| Today I did absolutely fucking nothing, as planned! It was very nice. Played a LOT of Minecraft, which has been fun. :3
And now for naps again! :D
|
|
| So, unsurprisingly I was made of pancake today. But I still managed to do all the things in order to get ready for and do a social! PLUS applied for some jobs. So I am proud of myself! I didn't get any tidying done, but eh, whatever, it's fine. None of that's URGENT, it just needs doing incremental like.
Anyway, now I am super tired! I didn't get home until like 1:15, which is partially why I'm up so late. The other part is I played Minecraft for a while to wind down, which, no ragraets, I did need to do that.
But now I will go to bed! And hopefully I'll a) fall asleep quickly, which I haven't the past couple of nights, and b) won't sleep weird on my shoulder again, it's been stiff all day so pretty sure I did that last night, bleh.

| Today I sorted out ALL SORTS of financial stuff for myself. Updating details (40+ min on hold for fucking medicare whyyyy), sending money to super, closing bank accounts... SO MANY THINGS I've been needing to do but hadn't had the brain power to do! So many!!!
And THEN after tea I MADE A CAKE. Which involved running down to the shops (thankfully Mama gave me a lift, it was dark and cold) because we didn't have any eggs. Hopefully it'll taste nice! The batter was good, so I'm hopeful, but it's with almond flour so it's a bit of an experiment.
On a related note, I'm going to dinner at Ni'chan's tomorrow, heh. She's had to go minimal gluten, thus the almond flour, but hey, at least I was able to make something. (Also get through some of the almond flour Mama bought when my father wasn't supposed to be having glutens last year. Which is why that flour specifically; Kit says that if you use oat flour and reduce the sugar you can make a lot of biscuit/brownie recipes as-is, but we didn't have any of that already.)
Anyway now it is time to pass the fuck out. I expect to be mostly useless tomorrow given how much I've done today and also because I'm still up at this hour, but if nothing else I HAVE to shower and also. Catch the bus in the afternoon.
