Today I have... Thread. -

Found a good deal on a chromebook, so I ended up grabbing one as my new travel laptop. If something happens to it, nothing important will be on it and I only spent like $150, so whatever.

I also had a craving for deviled eggs for some reason, so I made deviled eggs.

Three more weeks of absolutely nothing to do and nowhere to go.

I broke my self-imposed no dessert, no treat, healthy food only challange today at my friend's birthday party and it was very worth it, I made gluten-free brownies which were a big hit and there were two different cakes that we split 4 ways.
We had it at a local park, my friend brought his switch and we all played smash bros while taking about the musical stylings of JustinRPG and Chris Chan. I'll make Kiwis out of them yet!

My hoarder friend is refusing to take my calls today.

On Sunday I went and helped her finish getting her clothes out of her old place (so. many. clothes. The pile was literally to my waist and that wasn't even half of what she owned, and a hefty percentage of it was designer too). Bags upon bags of clothes. She'd planned to be out of that house by Thursday, and on Sunday we were still going.

Myself and another friend of hers who'd been helping her tried to talk to her about decluttering and pruning your possessions to fit your living space. The epiphanies that had shaken her the night before appeared to have worn off, and she was merely sullen and hostile. I said, if there's a fire, you'll never get out. She said, there won't be a fire, and was quite insistent on that.

When it was finally all done she was very tired and I parked her on a lounge chair facing the kitchen so she could watch me unpack. Boxes and boxes of cake decorating materials, tubes and tubs of edible gunk and glitter, years and years out of date... two years, five years, ten years out of date and she was actually feeding other people this stuff because "it was expensive" and she didn't want to buy more. I was able to strong arm her into letting me throw the stuff that was out of date out but she made me set aside the shit with no dates on it, even though they were obviously many years old too. We clashed badly on the things that were only just out of date. Yes, they were only just out of date now, but by the time she got around to using them, they'd be a lot out of date. I couldn't seem to get that idea across. I did talk her into letting me throw some rusty cake tins out so that was a win.

Then the boxes of Tupperware were thrust forth. Tupperware with a capital 'T' because it's the real thing, of course... and there were so. many. boxes. of. Tupperware. Boxes and boxes of brightly coloured plastic just kept coming and coming and it got to the point where I nearly in tears because the cupboards were stuffed with unused Tupperware, there was cockroach shit all over it, and there were all these boxes marked 'kitchen' still to unpack, all stuffed full of more fucking Tupperware, that had never once been used except as a cockroach's designated shitting street. It was 8:30pm and I was absolutely wrecked and was sore and sorry all over.

I'd planned to spend the night and do some more work in the morning, but I was so utterly demoralised I couldn't stay.

And then on Monday, I got a testy text from my friend that rust isn't dangerous on cake tins and that she was going to retrieve the ones I'd talked her into throwing out from the rubbish bin because otherwise they'd cost hundreds of dollars to replace. I'm genuinely afraid that she might have also taken the opportunity to rescue some of her out of date cake decorations at the same time.

And tonight, she's not talking to me at all.

Hmm.

Finished an entire week without wearing a cuck mask even once. The drugstore I usually go to, which was the last place that still had a mask sign, silently took it down some time in the past few days, so there is currently nowhere I go that still requires one. It's odd because everywhere else still has a sign, but says fully vaccinated people don't need to wear one. In actual practice, since they don't bother checking, nobody does.

I wear one in the liquor store because I like living on the edge and pretending I'm going to rob the place.

In case you can't tell, today I have started hammering vodka before 5PM.

CVS is basically a liquor store, because for some weird reason, even though they vastly overcharge for nearly everything else, they generally have super cheap liquor. What is the deal with that?

Drunks are bad at math, and they worry that they will get busted if they drive to a cheaper store.

today i got sad and slept all day but i'm gonna go to a pretty college campus in a few hours and take pictures
edit: i did and it was fun. actually broke into a run for the first time in 2 or 3 years and it felt good but it descended into a hill before i noticed so i landed hard on my left leg and now it hurts

My chromebook arrived. The screen is pretty terrible (the laptop I used in college in 2009 probably has a better screen), but for something I only paid like $150 for so I'd have something lightweight that I don't have to care if it breaks/gets lost/gets stolen, I'm pretty satisfied.

I also started watching power washing videos for some reason today while I was working on other stuff. There's just something kind of "zen" about it I guess.

Finished my first week of my new jeeerb. I'm feeling a lot more confident than I did on my first day but I've made some SNAFU's on the register- it's a brand new business and we're all trying to learn how it works, staff and owners alike. Most intimidating thing is learning to run a full coffee bar as a non-coffee drinker, but it's so much less intimidating than when I started.

Today I went to an art festival and later enjoyed a heat lighting storms from my 3 season porch

Today I've woken up.

 

[Picklechu]

Felt sick all day, which started after eating a sandwich last night. I can at least eat again now, so hopefully I'll be fine in the morning. I doubt it was the bread, meat, or cheese, so I'm going to test all of the vegetables I bought once I'm feeling a bit better. That being said, it could easily be something else entirely.

On the bright side, it was a good excuse to stay in bed and watch TV.

Today I volunteer at a festival

1am, and I've just discovered that an artist I'm considering buying merch off of on Etsy does gendertrender shit in addition to some truly lovely art. I'm torn. Usually gendertrender and SJW shit in a creator's portfolio is an automatic disqualification for getting my money, but this artist does nice work. It's a dilemma. It may be solved by her having set the postage fees to the highest possible level.

I'm staying up late watching over my rat cage. I introduced a twelve month doe into my existing colony of three sisters (me and my bad habit of collecting second hand rats) and so far the wound tally is a bloody ear on my dominant girl and a small bite on the back of her lieutenant. The new girl is gutsy. It's taken some twelve hours but they're settling down. My dominant girl is giving the new doe hell, but it's all in vain. I don't know how old my dominant girl and her sisters are (they're third hand, as it happens) but they're at least two and they're all starting to slow down a little. I'll give it another hour and if things in the cage are still quiet I'll go to bed.

I somehow snagged a 3070ti at MSRP after pining for a new video card for years. Going to be my first complete build ever and my first desktop in over a decade.

Some parts came today from Newegg and they sent an extra display, I can only assume as a mistake, so now I guess it will be a triple screen setup. Not that I mind, I always wanted some shit that made me look like an air traffic controller.

Congrats! Also, three screens is fuckin rad - five feet of LCD is great for multitasking.
