This week has been a bit of a wash; groceries have almost completely wiped me out, despite adequate rest around it. And also the sun going down by like 15:45 and it being pitch dark by 16:15. It just makes my body demanding more rest (when it's already rested for 10 hours, mind) stressful as it means no sun and I want to at least see daylight, even filtered through curtains, at least a couple hours a day... I say this, but darkness is the best light level for me, because I can completely control my surroundings as the ambient is consistent... it's a very sucky quandary. Food is also causing general issues, in that I think I have a tomato regularity limit (I had issues last time with certain herbs added and tortilla chips it had veto'd so nixed both of them. This time it was a bit unsettled digestively but relatively minor), and cous cous is not accepted. Why? Who knows.

Still, I need to vacuum over the weekend before dad tackles the other bedroom, and I will help, a bit. Mostly with changing bedsheets after I remove the plushies to put on a spread blanket in my living room on Sunday, as that's my limit. With removing and flattening boxes, carrying out furniture and old electronics, and then changing and moving the bed, probably just a few hours. I'm hoping it doesn't wear me out too much, I would like to do some writing, which is at the moment restricted to solely the adjacent grocery week and even that's a maybe.

I also managed to hurt my finger next to my thumb by firstly playing Hollow Knight (the jump button is bad. It requires a long press every time. I had to remap it as my thumb said no after one room. My finger can manage it for an hour maximum at a time) and also freezing weather so now it has blown up double its usual size. Yay fun ME things!!

Mogtomes has begun and so has a copious amount of Cliffhangers. This is good because I can do jumps easily enough but not actual content when my finger is hurting as much as it is. Stadium is going: changes this season include gains being nigh nonexistent once it places you where it thinks you should be, but as I'm All-Star everything, my main goal is simply comp points. And trying earnestly to learn a Brigitte build. I've noticed one particular build destroys tanks and you guessed it... it's a fire based build... as a D.Va lava connoisseur this speaks to me. And learning things about my Ashe build - the last power I pick doesn't describe the bonus ability damage as being yet another burn to add to her tally, and I didn't notice because my target is usually already burning when it activates, but now I know my third eye has opened honestly. Why have one burn every twelve seconds when you could potentially have ten on a target all at once??? Much to think about.

Since XIV has been under the great DDOSing of 2025 (seriously it's been two weeks please make it stop) and people are understandably not queueing for Pilgrim's right now, I decided to start levelling gatherers on Mélodie and Faye. For this, I needed an outfit. My immediate desire was for the Fall Guys hoodie, which can now be two tone dyed. This has since devolved into me going to Blunderville with one alt per day. Four down, four to go...?

Faye, Mél, Kaesumi and S'triyx are done - Estelline and Yorva need to go next. The curved portrait border is still one of the best in the game, even if my desire for hoodies for them is significantly less... I'm not sure if Yulia previously went, or Cylva. Milla should probably go too, although I have not done much on her yet beyond finishing Limsa opening... at this point I'm waiting on 7.4 so I can glam her no restrictions. Still, in four days and four alts I have successfully made it to last round every time bar one, so my knowledge of Fall Guys has been retained. Shockingly I'm really good at platforming.

What else. I cleared half of the other bedroom over the weekend through Tuesday, which involved a lot of box flattening; my living room is a long line of cardboard and food I can't eat, which is putting me out a bit since I have to look at it regularly but will be rid of soon. Unfortunately I am unable to do the rest, as it involves getting around the other side of the bed and a lot of bending down and putting my head in weird angled positions to reach under it - I set my vertigo off really badly on Monday from doing the accessible side, lesson learned. I think I'll have to ask my dad to come over and clear the other side for me (I believe it's just more boxes?), hoovering and wiping the floor down under the bed since I can't do that either, and then maybe reorienting the bed after. This will be difficult, as despite the floor being wooden and thus making every bit of furniture easy enough to move with a bit of pressure, said bed will not move at all in the slightest, so we'll see how achievable that is (if at all) by himself. :')

I got another box of goodies from Neokyo which I have since separated and put in temporary places due to aforementioned boxes in my living room blocking their eventual homes. I have another box to ship soon (nendos), although an Ashe sticker I was missing showed up, so I have since acquired that to group with them. I have... decided I kind of want the GSC Lightning statue for realsies... 😭😭 to my surprise the Square Enix store itself is the cheapest route, but I shall think about it...

Been working a bit on words (with difficulty), mostly edits. I wanted to get more done this week but that was kaiboshed by having to spend fifteen hours in bed Tuesday night through Wednesday, which involved me going to bed at night and waking up when it's nighttime again and that really messes with you, to the point the last couple of nights I have not gone to bed until the sun is up so I can witness it at least. So I've been working on some late night edits instead, appropriate as the chapter in question takes place at like 5am. I feel like I'm repeating myself a lot more than I usually do, and not in a good reinforcement way, but I might just have to accept it, or else I'll never progress, and progress is incredibly slow as is. idk. Over summer my writing capability has kind of left me, and I know some of that is furniture priority as expected, but my health has been so bad lately... being so close to bedbound at times is scary, as is just having so few days where you can be meaningfully creative. I want to do thing! Nope. It is void, cotton candy fog time. Brain empty all gone. Enjoy staring staring at a wall for two hours for the hundredth time.
