So this afternoon Mama and I went down to a local event, which was both smaller and more draining than I anticipated, uuuugh. (There was live music. I did not know there would be live music. Mama only told me there'd be talks periodically, not that we stayed long enough to listen to one.) Wasn't much to do unfortunately, so we didn't stay long and went for a walk instead... but I still needed to pass the fuck out when we got home. Sigh. Brains!!!

Other than that nothing super huge or anything! Minecraft and reading, mostly, as befitting a Sunday.

But I DID check my wallet name email, and there was a message saying my unemployment claim had been processed, so I checked on it just now and it's been approved! Yay! There's just... exactly zero information on what I have to do. Or in fact when I'll be paid. Or, you know, anything. >E

So tomorrow morning's gonna be me on the phone to them AGAIN, most likely, uuuuugh. So. Annoying.

Unsurprisingly, didn't do a huge amount today!

Went for a walk with Mama, which was nice, and ran into Auntie M which was fun! We didn't recognise her at first, we haven't previously encountered Auntie M In Footie Clothes. She was wearing a cap! So weird! I mean, her going to the football isn't news, just. Woah!

Did a bit of the handsewing for finishing off the switch case, too. It only ended up being like 20cm but I worked on it for idk at least an hour. Ugh, so time consuming, so many tiny tiny stitches. This thing is gonna be solid as hell! |D

And then this evening my heater fucking started smoking!!! :/ WHY. I've only had it what, a year or so? And yet. SMOKE. Ugh. (And now I'm EXTRA cold because I opened the window so the smoke smell could dissipate. Uuuuugh.) So, gonna have to get a new heater soonish! :/ It's warmer than it was, but it's still not warm, and who even knows if we're gonna get a cold snap at some point! So annoying!!!

So Mama and I sat together and crafted all afternoon, pmuch. It was really nice! Just that low-key keeping each other accountable thing. Really helpful!

I'm almost done sewing the switch case together! I've just gotta go over a few bits of the lining, to make sure it won't fray, and then add press studs and some decorative buttons. :3

A LOT of tiny little stitches, and it's not really the right shape to put it in the machine, so it's taking a WHILE, hahaha. Still, I might not be great at hand sewing, but I'm much better than I was, so it's not too bad! :D

Also, in excellent news, old work FINALLY got the paperwork they needed to fill in back to me. FINALLY. Took them two business weeks and I had to send a follow up email, for a goddamn two page form that's mostly just extremely basic identification information, but I have it! Have sent it in, too, so hopefully I'll hear back from the government SOON. Probably not next week though given. This entire fucking process. =_=

Other than that... nothing huge really. Minecraft, and then I got stuck in a fic which is why I'm. Still awake. >>;;; Oh well, at least it's the weekend, I don't have as many self-given tasks to do tomorrow!

Gallery Day, apparently

Met up with A for lunch! :D We ended up going to two galleries - A had some stuff to drop off for a friend at the first one (more stuffed animals hahahahhaha), and then we were close to the second so we poked our noses in there, too. Some super cool stuff!!! :D

Other than that... I got snacks! I kinda ate all the ones I had, so... yes. Snacks important. That's pretty much all I did today, though, kinda just passed the fuck out when I got home, as usual, and just a bit of minecraft this evening.

Oh, wait, no, I got another call from a recruiter! This one I think I did pretty okay with, so fingers crossed I'll at least get an interview! >: >: >: (Gonna have to brush up on React stuff, though, heh. Which I should probably do anyway, React is... very popular. Sigh.)

Wednesday? Yes.

Nothing too interesting today, unsurprisingly. Did all the pet cleanup tasks I had planned, and also did a bunch of putting stuff back up on top of the bookshelves, now that I'm not gonna be able to put the shelves up there.

Room feels a LOT better now, not gonna lie. So much less visual clutter! Though like. The total number of items in a stupid place - ie, the floor, usually - hasn't gone down by much, it's just that the ones stored up there are generally BIG ones.

Didn't get any handicrafts done, though, bleh. Brain just crapped out on me, more than anything, very annoying. I DID however get a LOT of loose fur off Tortilla, which is nice! It's not quite spring shedding season yet, but it's definitely close and every bit helps!

Gonna meet A for lunch tomorrow, so I should uh. Go to bed. I'm tired, anyway, which I'm mostly blaming on my parents being home - I don't seem to be sleeping as well, which I think is due to ambient noise levels. I've woken up early a few times while they've been making coffee, etc. etc. And napping during the day is harder, because Mama. Oh well!

Not that a huge amount happened, really. Finally blocked the switch case! Did some cleaning & tidying up. That's about all.

Today I went for a walk with Mama, and then I took my keyboard apart and cleaned the hell out of it. It. Um. It took a LOT longer than I expected - like, three hours or something - but I got SO much gunk out, omfg. It's not perfect, but it's so much better. :D

Haven't done any mending or knitting/crochet, which I really want to do, but it'll come! Soon! I hope. Tomorrow I've got to do the gross animal upkeep cleaning, which is fine, if annoying. Maybe after that.

I'm trying to not turn the desktop on until after tea, in an attempt to railroad my brain into getting some shit done rather than just read all day. Too early to tell how it'll go over time, but at least it's not been a dismal failure from the outset! :3

Lazy Sunday~

[personal profile] tyger

Not a whole lot today really... Got my shinies in pokemon, finally! (The vulpix were easy, got two of them in the first outbreak before it even got to max likelihood! Numel, on the other hand... didn't even find ONE until the fourth outbreak orz orz orz) Did some washing. Finished repairing that shawl!

Also Minecraft, which has started crashing a bunch which is Very Annoy, ugh. Pretty sure it's due to the mod I updated, so I guess I'll go roll that back. :/ Annoying, though, it's got a bugfix I specifically wanted... Alas! Will probably be fine on a new world, it's just got a config file reformat in there which I'm not surprised fucks shit up. Annoyed. But not surprised.

And now to bed with me, yes!

Saturday!

[personal profile] tyger

The weather was AWESOME today, I ended up spending idk an hour, hour and a half weeding in the front yard. (The onion grass is blooming, it is the ideal time to attack it! >E >E >E) Extremely nice to be out in the sun, yessss.

I also darned two holes in a shawl, only for Mama to notice one we'd both missed several times as I was folding it to put away orz orz orz. It's mohair, so it's kinda a pain to darn, since the wool catches to much, and since it's a super loose knit it's SUPER obvious it's fixed, but! Also it is big and drapey so you can't really see the repaired bits when you wear it. (According to Mama, but they're not that big so I believe her!)

Anyway I'll finish that off tomorrow, and then put it at the BACK of the drawer, since it got its holes via Sushi clawing at it when even a tiny tiny bit was visible, sigh. Sushi really likes mohair, apparently??? I can't blame him it is super fluffy, but at the same time, Sushi do you have to show your love by destroying things??? (Of course he does, he is the biteiest of boys. Such a tiny jerk...)

Why is sleeping at night so hard??

ANOTHER bad night! Couldn't sleep because brain just would not shut the fuck up, siiiiiigh. Hate it. Brains are so dumb.

But! I used my new dragonite as a pillow and that was super great! :D So I'm happy about that, yessss.

Nothing too interesting today, honestly. Darned some socks?? Went for a short walk with Mama? Nothing huge.

And now back to bed! Hopefully I'll be able to sleep easily tonight...

I am a sleepy yes

[personal profile] tyger

Unsurprisingly, today I was very tired!

The fact that it was cold enough my ankle started bitching didn't help, either. :/

Anyway, A was good! :D Tiny exhibit was fun! Also I now have a massive roumb dragonite it's the best. (Mama is SUPER MAD, sigh.)

Um. Something something I keep drifting off trying to finish this post so uh I think I'll just. Go bed now. Yes.

Goddamnit brain

tyger: An egg, with sparkles. (Chooks - egg!)
[personal profile] tyger

So tomorrow I'mma meet A and we're gonna go poke a tiny art exhibition and etc.

So of course I'm still up at fucking almost 5am. I need to leave the house in about five hours!!! Omfg brain WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS. /o\

Anyway other than THAT... one of the chooks laid an egg again! :D They're clearly feeling much safer! This pleases me~!!!

I also cleaned out both the coop and the run and put in a bunch of straw for them in the run, so they should enjoy that. :3 :3 :3 Mama stayed out the back with me while I did that, just in case of foxes. Likelihood is pretty low, but, well. Makes me feel better if nothing else!

Nothing much other than that, though. Except I'm still fucking awake-! (I maybe played a LOT of minecraft this evening. In my defense I've been rearranging my storage and figured out a way to integrate botany pots into it and that is brain eating levels of fascinating because I am a super nerd, sigh.)

So today I finally got my shit together and did the stud finding thing, and I was at the point where I was trying to get the shelf up onto the top of the bookshelves just to check if the places I'd marked would work (ie, not in the middle of the shelf). Aaaaand... it was too heavy for me to manage something that long on my own, so I had to get Mama to help, and... well. Physics is hard. )

So that's super annoying and I'm not sure what to do about it.

Other than that... nothing too interesting. Did get those shinies in pokemon, which is good! Haven't fought the new boss yet, but hopefully will be pretty straightforward... And one of the new set of mass outbreaks I've already got the shinies for, so I only need to catch four shinies total this time! :D Also ONE OF THEM IS VULPIX, which is SO EXCITING eeeeee :D :D :D :D :D
