i will show you fear in a handful of dust.

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...)

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

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!!!!

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.
