It's a day. I had an Etsy order and got that out. Was annoyed when I got home because I felt too warm -- even though I've had the windows open all day and the inside and outside should be more or less similar. I mean, it's fine, I cooled back off and I know it's because I like, moved... stupid exothermic body stuff. xD
Anyways. Would like to finish my sock today, but am easily distracted by shiny objects ('Valheim' in this case). But if I don't, not the end of the world either, obvs.
It's been a pleasant enough day to have the windows open; the breeze has even felt a bit chilly, which. Bliss. Work is done for the week, dinner is going to be McDonalds, so. Good start for the weekend.
My ear is still feeling stupid, but like. It's not itchy. Outside of when I poke my tragus, it doesn't hurt. It honestly just feels/sounds like it needs to pop, but won't (trust me, I've tried xD). The main thing is that it's not affected my balance, for which I am fiercely grateful.
Anyhoos! Sock is going well. I should easily be able to complete it this weekend and start the next pair, focus permitting.
The weather has been mainly pleasant enough to have the windows open. It's rained some, but. I'm only just hitting a point where the humidity might require me to shut the windows and pop the a/c on.
I may or may not have a lil infection in my good ear. I could have just as easily angered it by being unintentionally aggressive with my ear camera. All I know is that my tragus is sore, and the ear feels like there's something trapped in it. Just gotta like, try to leave it alone... I am so bad at that. xD
*back to yarn and games*
Oh la, I'm here. Just continuing to wander around in 'Valheim' and knit. Second sock is coming along nicely; I'm almost done with the gusset. Yes, squidgy word, but anyways!
Not a lot past that. Just feeling weak and... that is what it is. I wish it were otherwise so I could be more helpful around the house, but I'm not going to beat myself up over it either.
In weirdly good spirits. We had our newest employee over working with spouse on some bits, so I wanted to make sure to be up and fed before they got here. Which means, unsurprisingly, I started work earlier, and finished in a timely fashion. It's my first day of the month, so lots of banking entries to process -- though there seemed to be more than usual last week, so there was probably a bit less than usual this week.
The annoying AI proselytiser I mentioned yesterday has since departed the Discord we overlapped in. I ended up asking the rest of the Patreons what they thought about the situation, and yeah. I did apologise a bit to them for that instead of just going straight to the mods, but I needed to make sure it wasn't just me being a bully. >< The consensus was no, I'd been gentle and this person tying their well-being to using AI isn't my fault (like legit, tried to be like 'wah you need to like AI because it makes me feel better' when. No.). I hope for their sake they manage to break free of that trap.
For now, a thunderstorm is rolling in. Bliss. I ran outside to verify it, and the did some needed hedge trimming to extend my reason for being outside (instead of looking like a weirdo standing in my entryway, ha ha).
Happy Pride and all that! I *know* it's June. I *know* it's pride. But because my weekend was so backwards I just completely have been blanking on everything. I was reminded when a friend in a Discord let loose the dogs of war on someone who was whingeing that calling people a clanker was a slur, here on the first of June. He's like, *the* nicest person in the server, but he wasn't having that shit. Discussing it with friends, I can agree that it is a slur per se, and that we should work to eliminate all such unkindness from our vocabulary. But also, fuck that person in particular. I chose to be firm but kind before deciding a block was going to be the right option, because I don't think I'll ever be able to swing that person around from proselytising AI to a server that very much does not want it.
((and I'm aware that 'clanker' refers to the AI itself, not the user, but anyways))
What y'all do want is to buy stuff from me, ha ha:
Pride goodies for year round, but yanno, extra love here in pride month would be gorgeous. I love my stuff and I think y'all would too, if only you took a look. xD
Right, love, etc.

And lo, have survived a child's birthday party. Oh okay, pre-teen -- youngest wanted me to come along. Which to be fair, it was okay. It was a group of four autistic kids and their mums, so a good social basis. I'm glad to be home and back in the a/c, but yeah. Left the house. Didn't completely die. xD
But yeah, absolutely wiped out now. I'm hoping I can rub a few spoons together and make myself a pot of skettinoodles for dinner/lunch tomorrow. The kids have pizza leftover from yesterday, so spouse and I are fending for ourselves, and bitches love carbs (I'm bitches).
Breaking in a new keyboard as of yesterday. The 'y' key on my desktop keyboard had stopped working, and the 'w' on occasion as well. It's a bit quieter than the outgoing one, but at least it's got a good mechanical feel to it. I likes that. Just got to get used to the slightly different haptics and I should be good to go.
I did break down and buy 'Paralives' yesterday. It's okay so far! I was immediately in love with the random house I bought for my starter; it's a tall narrow house with a few empty areas to grow into. I'm also poking along in 'Valheim' too. I might actually make it to a third biome at some point, ha ha. I had found a few naturally in my last game, but I always feel the need to start at the beginning pretty much any time I return to a game.
Right, zoned out and got distracted by shiny objects. Off I go then. xD
The week has been survived. You'd think for a short work week it would have felt like... shorter, but no. It felt soooo looong. Eldest commented in the same vein, so... in good company?
Also in good company is a lil planned payday treat. Eldest messaged spouse about Paralives, and it's like, yes. We have heard of it, we intend to buy it. So he went ahead and gifted them a copy, and I think the other three of us will buy one as well now rather than later.
For now, just mucking around in "Valheim" and feeling exhausted. It is what it is.
Feeling the fatigue still today. At least work was pretty quick to get through, so back to yarn and games. I had a lil hankering for 'Valheim'; I'm not that good at it, but it's enjoyable nonetheless.
Today was one of our employee's last day... no comment. *laughs* The atmosphere will definitely be different in the office for those who work there, and probably for the better.
Right. Brain goes flop.
