#halothecat — Public Fediverse posts

Nothing to report today really. Just curled up gaming and being a lump. I'm still trying to beat the Economic Dominance challenge on Victoria 3; I'm about to restart back to a specific save for the uh... third? fourth? time and see if I can get it right. Eventually, ha ha.

Not a lot to report. Feeling a smidge less flare-y, so that's something. Still extra exhausted though.

Mainly, amused AF that Voldemom (as I call my narcissist mother) has managed to alienate yet another member of the extended family -- this time, my one of my siblings' partners. I can't feel sorry for VM, but I can for my siblings and their spouses/partners that she failed them as well.

Anyways. Gonna enjoy an extra dose of caffeine, curl up with games, and enjoy discount heat. We were able to switch to a new tariff with the heat pump, and there are periods of the day when the electricity is cheaper; we're in one of those right now, so smug discount laundry washing, ha ha.

Oh stars, today I am just like, gaming and more gaming. I have so many games up! And because of that, I'm really happy, ha ha. I tend to feel anxious when I don't know what to play, so having a lot of things to poke at is bliss.

LotrO: Currently cleaning up some deeds for previous areas for points and fun.
Pokemon: Making slow but steady headway on the main story/catching them all.
Minecraft: New game up on laptop, which I will probably get bored of once I hit the Nether. xD
Phone: I've developed a bit of an addiction to Match Factory, ha ha.

So uh, yeah. Back to that. :D

Whups, time escapes me. I got work knocked out pre-noon, but then was focused on grinding deeds -- the most annoying of deeds, Bree-land deeds. But they are done on my current main, and hallelujah for that. xD

Youngest even popped into the game for a bit. I grouped up with her and showed her around a bit, as in, picking up, tracking, and doing quests. Spouse was a smidge sad because he couldn't join in due to too much work stuff to do, but I'm sure we'll make it happen at some point soon. Now I've got to figure out what I myself want to do in game for now, ha ha. Grind more deeds, or circle back around and do some more Moria quests? I'll get the next section of deeds put into my spreadsheet and think about it. Maybe swap to a less involved game and focus on knitting more.

As for the knitting, I added ball 7 of 10 earlier. So exciting progress. I can feel the rows getting shorter, which is super encouraging. I also need to look up a good knitting pattern for lil pumpkins, because pumpkins. *nodnods*

Felt a bit rough when I got up this morning. Whether it's rebound from trying to pull my wake up time earlier, or just general malaise, your guess is as good as mine. But hey, I had my work done before the time I normally start, so gold effin' star.

(I'm expecting a batch of invoices from spouse at some point today, but he's currently in a meeting. s'fine, I can pokemon until then xD)

((lulz, mention them and they show up. fair enough.))

I think I will get my fayre boxes down today and start getting them organised. I've still not seen anything likely besides the four I'm pencilled in for, but I think that sitting down and going over my stock and seeing how I can best make a cohesive buy me pitch... starting with putting less stuff on my table. I figure if I sit down and pick out a few choice bits specifically... well. Or I could just take everything and not put it out. I'll figure it out.

The downside towards working towards consistently waking up a bit earlier means that sometimes, I get done with work really early and feel like the entire day is a yawning chasm in front of me in a bad way. What's bad about having more time, brain? Really? We've got games, we've got yarn, what's the deal? Brains, innit. Rude damp sacks of fat.

But eh, still in more or less a good mood. Foggy, exhausted, back pinging, but it can't bring me down too much. I refuse to let it. *nodnods*

*claps hands* Right. Onward, upward, etc.

I actually had another Etsy order come in last night! Miracle! If this were my day job, I could just about afford cheap-ass ramen for the month, ha ha.

Of course, it means that the need to craft grows slightly urgent. One of the freebies I put in first orders is a lil purple-and-white crochet heart ornament, and I've run out as far as I can tell. So gonna get some of those cranked out, and then look at returning to stock stuff. I've got another round of the needle reminder markers in progress, and I have a few bits of jewellery that need varying degrees of restocking.

So yeah, between that and being done with work, I guess I'm probably in for a rather pleasant afternoon. :)

For #Caturday, I offer pure art.

Lots of little bits. Got through work, found out poor spouse accidentally duplicated a bunch of payments. Most of them were to us, so not too difficult to sort, but still Not fun when you have to fix mistakes.

I finally finished all the Pokémon Scarlet/Violet Pokédexes, and got my Shiny. Now the Switches are off, and whether or not I take a break from Pokémon remains to be seen. But I'm pleased I managed the task.

I ordered some bras, and it turns out they're all like, super thin and nipple party; I'd forgotten that was a current weird trend. As I'm not the scrawny child I was pre-kids (not that I would have wanted to engage in that trend then either!), and my boobs are prone to pointing all sorts of directions.. well. I've got them packed up for return collection tomorrow. I still want to get some new bras, but I'll just have to shop even more carefully. ><

((but also, gold star me getting that immediately packed up and ready for return instead of dithering and whups, a month has gone and return window closed xD))

So yeah, fun. Gonna go eat biscuits and maybe pick up my knitting.

Just sort of mucking through the day. I got work done, and now I'm back to my Pokémon grinding.

I've got the weekly ISG craft and chat in an hour and a half, so that should be nice. I think I'm going to work on rings, if I do actually turn my hand to crafting alongside the chatting. Mainly, just want to keep it going so that it doesn't die before it has a chance to grow.

#deardiary #dailylog #catsofmastodon #vivithecat #halothecat

Not a lot going on. Finished the scarf last night and got cranking out on a blanket last night. I've actually made really good progress on it; I'm about to add the second ball of yarn. I woke up fairly early and got through work quickly, so lots of time to work on that this afternoon.

And I just got more beads/findings in, so there will be more bracelet science at some point. Maybe tonight if I need a wee break from crochet, maybe not. I did a quick check on the ones I've made so far to see if the smaller magnet clasps I used were acceptable, and they were in most cases.

Right, onward, yarnward.
