I did NOT have much in the way of brain at all today. Basically just read, and played some Minecraft in the evening. Which is fine, it's Sunday, if there's ever a day to veg out without worrying about it it'd be Sunday.

Still, I DID manage to get myself to have a shower, since I need to go get meds tomorrow, so I still have SOME brain left! :D Not displeased with this, no.

And now Sushi's making a nuisance of himself, which does tend to mean it's 'go the fuck to sleep o'clock' - not that that stops him, it's just a semi-reliable reminder - so I'mma do that, yes.

Pretty chill day today! Went for a walk with Mama, which was fun! For whatever reason (and it really shouldn't've been overexertion) I had to pass out when I got home though, so that was annoying. Tried to not, read a bit and and did some sewing and stuff first, but nope. Had to. Body what are you up to I ate breakfast and lunch and drank water and took my meds and did an exercise! My blister's even gone down without popping! Bleh.

Other than that, not a lot. Played minecraft this evening, as usual, hahaha. That's about it.

ANOTHER gorgeous day, I am both surprised and extremely happy! :D Still got my blister from yesterday, so no weeding, but I sat in the sun and did some crochet and knitting, which was great. :D I got the second jigglypuff foot done, and worked on my sock - I thought I had enough brain to do a second jigglypuff piece but no, I somehow had like 15 stitches when I was supposed to have 9 on like. Round 4. Soooo I pulled that out and stuck to the sock, which is at the very easy 'just keep knitting until it's long enough' stage.

Also did some more of the tiny stitches on the switch case - almost done! I think! If nothing else done with the hardest part (where the fabric turns around making the bottom, pita to get at), so that's nice.

Other than that, something something Minecraft something something bed time now yes. That.

I'm not sure where the last hour went, um. Like, I finished playing minecraft a little later than expect but it wasn't THIS late. Time. Why.

Anyway, my parents had friends over today, which was... I mean I'm glad for them? But omfg so. Noisy. So noisy! Even through the walls etc!

Still, got a sock darned, and also went outside and did some weeding! Had to stop in my battle against the onion grass because I got a blister - but it hasn't popped! I'm proud of myself I usually fuck that up! And I did get a whole bucket of weeds in the bin, and even though onion grass is so. small. For the amount of effort it takes to get out, a good proportion of it was onion grass!

In less fun news FUCKING IVY IS BACK HISSSSSSSS >E >E >E I will be vigilant and try and get any new leaves - I got out as much as I could see today, and there wasn't too much, but still. Ivy! :| Fucking shitty weed of doom, I hates it.

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!
