Quiet Day

tyger: Kid's face in black, white and blue, as a flashbang goes off. (Magic Kaito/Detective Conan) (Kid - blue flashbang)

Nothing big, today. Cleaned the chook coop, and the cat boxes (which were clean for about 0.2 seconds before Sushi decided he needed to dirty one, sigh). Actually cooked pasta for dinner, which was great! :V Actually did the dishes!

Started working on the shelf in my room, too. Got things down, cleaned up there... and fucked up using the stud finder, so I've gotta erase all the pencil marks I made and start again. Which, fine, whatever. Annoying, but whatever, it happens! I will try again properly... tomorrow? Maybe? Will depend if I can get in there after Sibling's been by. Should be floor stain day, soooo might need to Not Go In There for a while, you know?

Speaking of Sibling, turns out it hasn't been Other Work interfering, but Got A Sick. :( :( :( A terrible thing! And also explains why I didn't get a heads up, hahahaha, time has been spent resting not communicating with people! XD;;; But, should be good for tomorrow (according to a message this afternoon, so probably accurate)!

Have been beset by cats all day, which has been nice :) If sometimes uncomfortable. How a four kilo cat curled up on your legs can make the muscles ache from the weight so easily I will never understand...

tyger: Espeon (pokémon - espeon)

So I watched most of the Shibuya arc this evening. It would've been all of it but uh look at the time where did it go whoops >>;; Anyway, the animation is excellent, but the arc is brutal so I am uh. Feelings. Yes. Sigh.

Other than that, an extremely lazy day. Didn't get out of bed properly until like... 5. I had a LOT of cuddle time with Sushi (I called out for him right before bed last night and he finally came in, so he's fine), and, well. I am weak to cat snuggles, so. ^^;;;

My parents are away for a few days, which is how I was able to do that - Mama refuses to let me stay in bed that long unless I'm actually sick, which I'm not. It was nice to do it, even though I know it's a pretty bad habit, hahahaha.

Anyway, back to bed now, I'm not on holiday so I really shouldn't screw up my sleep schedule if I can help it... Because I'm so good at that...

tyger: Blurry Roxas at the base of the skyscraper from Deep Dive.  Text: nobody (Roxas - nobody)

Yeah, I finished my categories, but do I get to stop doing audit? No, no I do not. Instead I must do other people's categories that they haven't gotten to yet, because we want the entire thing done as quickly as possible. Uuuuuuuugh, so. Boring. (And of course the first one I got asked to pick up is one of the really big ones, too, so that's gonna take a few days probably. Whyyyyy ;;)

Mainly been flopping after that, really. Nothing too interesting, mostly reading. Also Sushi got out again, uuuugh. My fault, I thought I'd locked the back door, but it apparently missed the catch - the snib was in the locked position buuuuuut he managed to get it open, so yeah. :/ He's still out, too, which is. Extremely frustrating, really! But he should be back by the time I get up, yes. >:

Got the cat run revamp finished today, finally! \o/

Hasn't been tested yet, because Sushi managed to get out and by the time he was safely back inside it was too late in the day (and also he immediately got in a fight with Tortilla, which. Why. :| Why you such a jerk, Sushi??), but they'll go out tomorrow and hopefully enjoy it!

Other than that, we attempted to go vote, but the lines were just ridic for early voting, so will try again later! Maybe even on election day, will see how things turn out. If I have to wait in a longass queue I want a goddamn sausage!

...I think there was something else here but I have zoned out and forgotten so it's probably not important! Time for naps before having to go back to work tomorrow, boo. Been great to have the time off, though!

tyger: Isaac and Miria, grinning. (Isaac and Miria -  ...na :D?)

Cats are certified Healthy! :D Tortilla has even lost the weight they wanted, so good job us! :3 Very pleased to have that done, and I think the both of them are pretty happy to not have to do that again for another year. (Tortilla remains extremely scared. Also she peed on me when I was getting her into the carrier, siiigh. Should NOT have changed into good pants before I got that done...)

Anyway, other than that not a whole lot. Got some shit done at work, though one of the things that came up makes me suspect some people haven't been doing their jobs properly, ugh. Hopefully I've fixed it up, but shit like this is why our pass rate is so goddamn low, I swear... :/

I also managed to fail to catch a shiny flareon today. I was so happy when I saw there was another eeveelution outbreak! I tried really hard! I once again failed to get a shiny, woe. Possibly I need to focus on doing 5 star raids to get ingredients to make shiny-chance-up sandwiches, which is just A Lot Of Steps if you ask me. Would much prefer the outbreaks lasted a set time, rather than a set number of pokemon, and I could just keep battling until I found one. Battling is the fun part!!! Ahh, well. Maybe next time!

tyger: Animated Lea from BbS. (Lea - うれしいねぇ-)

So today one of my cousins came over with his kid! Is the kid's first bday party on Saturday, but while Mama and I are going, my father can't, due to the chemo. (Small babies and pregnant women are supposed to be Extremely Avoided when you're having chemo. And my father's next dose is literally the day before, soooo...) So he came over with the kid so my father can meet him too! Which was extremely nice of him! :D

Kiddo is small, of course, because one year old. Almost but not quite walking! Extremely square face, which is weird as hell. Not quite Minecraft character level buuuuut... Weird. Like most small children, loves to make loud noises!

Weirdly, instead of being All Over New Humans like he usually is, Sushi was pretty freaked out. I'm thinking it's a combo of baby laser focus on moving thing!! which is impolite for cats, and also the crawling right for him. (Kiddo did not catch Sushi, he went out into the run.) Still, extremely weird to see him go from curious as to The New Thing to aaaaaaa run awaaaaay!!! And here we were worried about it because he does, occasionally, bite, because he is an asshole cat.

Anyway, visit went a bit long for me, because my social battery is... extremely small, but was probably only like an hour, hour and a half? So I managed to actually stay out and social for all of it! I think I deserve a sticker for that! :3

Work day! Nothing particularly interesting, though there were more spreadsheet shenanigans, which were frustrating. Ugh.

Oh gfdi Sushi is In A Mood and trying to eat my shoes again. WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS, CAT???

Anyway no Dredge this evening, got to the climax of a longfic I've been reading and MUST STORY *______* Tomorrow, though!

tyger: Axel looking off over the sunset (Axel - into the distance)

Why is it he's usually affectionate when it's the least convenient time? Cats!!!

Anyway, work was... honestly mostly fighting with Powershell again, which was a nice change. Also frustrating, of course, but eh.

After work some more Stardew! Ended up just being one really big day, since it was the first of summer and ALSO there were a few cutscenes. (Mainly because the first of summer though. So much planting!!!)

Also ended up fussing with some mod things, which is uh. Slow going stuff but will be useful! Or at least give me some minor QoL stuff, maybe useful is overstating it a little...

Anyway now to try and extract myself from under Sushi without annoying him. I do not like my chances, but office tomorrow, gotta try!

tyger: The Shounen Tantei (pre-Ai) hiding in a locker, with the text 'We solemnly swear we're up to good'. (ST - Up To Good)

So I slept like absolute crap last night. But! The reason was mainly that my knees were aching (which, despite what people say about your knees going to shit when you hit 30, isn't actually usual for me), and I'm pretty sure it's because I haven't been getting anything in the way of exercise recently. You know. What with the being mostly unconscious and all.

And, when I did finally get up and out of bed (having slept in quite late to make up for not getting much sleep during the actual night, heh), I did go down to the shops and get snacks! (I have been out of snacks since before my birthday. It has been. Difficult. :( ) And my knees are feeling a lot better since then, so I'm pretty sure I'm right and it was just not enough exercise.

Also my voice is more or less back to normal! It's got actual animation to it again, not just the flat sick voice, yaaaay~ So yeah, I'm still coughing, but nowhere near as much, and I think I'm more or less better.

Other than that... life is much better with snacks in. Did THREE days in a row in Stardew, without a break, which is pmuch my limit even when I'm perfectly well. Sushi is being an asshole and harassing me, I think he wants me to go to bed, so I'mma do that. (I haven't been out of bed for 12 hours yet, though I've been awake longer, but I think he's developed Opinions on when I'm supposed to be in bed, hahahahahaha.)

tyger: Link.  Text: HERO of TIME (Link - Hero of Time)

Other than the tech support I had to do, mostly a super chill day! :3 (A curse upon Microsoft in general, and whatever genius team decided to do office online in particular, and specifically whoever the fuck decided to let there be a limited free to use version, ugh, enough is Different it confuses the fuck out of people who WERE tech literate back before everything was cloud based but haven't had the need to use stuff that IS. LIKE SAY PEOPLE'S PARENTS.)

Anyway. Slept in, snuggled with Tortilla when I did get up, because she very much wanted to. Then a bunch of Stardew! Have unlocked three bundles in three days it's very funny XD (Bus, greenhouse, glittering rock!). Haven't actually started USING the greenhouse yet, though, because I decided I wanted to use the one I made after all, and converting it went... poorly. Advice from the discord is to just start over, given all the 1.6 changes, which... fair. Annoying, but fair. But that is for tomorrow! Not today! Yes.

In less happy news Sushi managed to get his collar over his bottom jaw again, and naturally freaked the fuck out. :( ExpandNot graphic but he did hurt himself :( )

But for now, sleeps. Brunch in the morning!!! :D

tyger: A small ginger cat in a wicker bag (Sushi - bag)

Took the day off from work. I was planning on working a bit then going and helping and then working when I got back, but I slept like crap and I just could. not. be fucked this morning. Pretty sure I made the right call!

ExpandUgh. )

Anyway, we were only there about two hours and managed to go through the bulk of it, before Mama Required Food Right Now, Feeling Woozy, and we went to have lunch. Mama did drop by again in the afternoon, but basically didn't do anything else, she kinda got there and just... out of brain error, basically. Which is fair! She's going again tomorrow with Auntie M anyway.

I remembered this morning that I really had to make a doctor's appointment this week, so I called and they had an appointment in the afternoon, so I went and did that. Annoyingly, the pharmacy was out of my meds, so I'll need to go pick them up tomorrow, but eh, these things happen. At least I already told work I'd be WFH this week!

Did play a bit of Stardew, though nowhere near as much as yesterday. Nothing particularly new there, though, just trying to save up for the next house upgrade, so I can get the cellar after that. Ugh, so spendy ;; Maybe I'll do the barn and coop upgrades instead, should be about the same amount of cash, and I can start getting goats and rabbits and pigs and getting their friendship up.

...ffs Sushi those are MY SHOES don't FIGHT them omfg. Ugh. Okay, they're hidden under some bags, so now I won't be able to find them tomorrow but at least they'll be in once piece!!

And now he's fighting a blanket instead. I just. I give up. I'm going to bed, damnit.

tyger: An unidentified person-shape from Detective Conan.  Text: LURKER (Lurker)

Work was fine, nothing major really. Also saw A after work, and we got delicious Japanese food for dinner, so that was great! :3 :3 :3

And then of course Stardew when I got home. Finally got my first tool upgraded! It's the axe, because getting into the secret forest ASAP is important >: (I think it needs the second upgrade for that, so it'll take a bit to save up for it. I think I have enough iron though, so that's something.) Also I can use the hardwood from the stumps to get... something crafted, I forget what right now. Bait maker, I think? Which is good because I tend to make A Lot of crab pots, so a passive source of bait is A++ yessss.

Sushi is being a BUTT today and doing stuff to deliberately piss people off, which. Siiiigh. No cat, you may not go outside in the rain -> extremely deliberately getting up on the coffee table and chewing on Mama's book, kind of thing. Why are you like this, cat??? (I mean yes he also wants attention, which I wasn't home to give to him, but c'mon. RAIN. You hate it! You don't actually WANT to be outside, you just think you do because you don't understand how space works very well! Siiiiigh.)

Anyway, now is time for sleeeeeep. Yes. Sleeps for meeeee~~

tyger: Roxas, smirking. (Roxas - smirk)

He's a little difficult to get a read on, but he's being Very Insistent that I do SOMETHING, so presumably that's bedtime. It's very cute, if kinda annoying when he's whining or biting XD;;;

Anyway, pretty average weekend day! Got lots of naps! Also went and got meds and also! The cheap easter egg shop was back!!! :D So I got some stuff there, yesssss.

Other than that, mostly fic, though I did finish up with the third dungeon on Moonlighter! Now onto the fourth, yesss. Got my spear almost entirely upgraded - gotta enchant it one more time, but I ran out of cash - and have beat the first miniboss okay, so hopefully!!! I'll get the materials to upgrade my armour soon too! :D Given previous dungeons, I'm guessing I'll get through this one tomorrow or Monday, and then it's The Final Dungeon.* Hoping the lore stuff works out well!!!! It probably won't but I hope it will!!!

  • Except not, because DLC, hahahahaha, there's one more I assume unlocks after you complete the original plot.

Vet Day!

Feb. 21st, 2024 12:25 am
tyger: A small ginger cat in a wicker bag (Sushi - bag)

It went shockingly efficiently, like I was away from work for half an hour, including gathering up the cats and putting them in their carry boxes!

They're also both pretty damn healthy, which is great! :D :D :D Tortilla still has a little bit of tartar, and has (somehow???) put on a bunch of weight, so need to feed her a little less. (My father pointed out that she's way less fucking stressed than she used to be, so she's probably burning less calories on that! Which is a really good point! :D)

Sushi got described as "perfect", a "10/10 cat", so he's not only ridiculously healthy he's winning hearts all over the place, as usual. XD He really hates injections, still, but he's way more chill about them than he was the first couple of times, too, so that's great. :3

Haven't met this vet before, turns out he's both super quick and efficient but also really personable, and got through things with minimum trauma-time for Tortilla. And super happy to let Sushi have a poke around the room and stuff. So yeah, would happily have him give them their shots etc. again!

tyger: Luffy (One Piece) - grinning (Luffy - sparklegrin)

I went to the dentist! AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY TEETH! AGAIN!!!!

Even the dentist was surprised (he literally said he was "honestly shocked" like three times), we did x-rays since it's been two years since my last set (which revealed a LOT of things that needed doing, if yez remember), and they! were! fine!!!! Even my old fillings he was worried about are still fine! :D :D :D

So yeah that was super great, I'm so pleased. :D

Other then that... well, like I said to Azy:

[00:10]Tyger: So you can get chocolate mochi at one of the asian supermarkets in town. I've been seeing it for ages, but I finally got some because fuckit, then I'll know, you know? [00:10]Tyger: It's really good I'm so mad I thought it'd be terrible and I wouldn't be tempted by it ever again but nooooo

Highly recommend if you like both chocolate and mochi. I'd personally go a little less dark on the chocolate, but that's pmuch always my opinion, I really like milk chocolate XD;;;

Tomorrow, office, so gotta go to bed and get up stupid early, uuuugh. Of course, Sushi is in my bed being SO FUCKING CUTE, like he hasn't spent the last hour running around like a mad thing, attempting to fight my clothes, and also knocking over my water jug again. (And his water thing is full, it's not him trying to communicate! He's just being a dick! :|) Not gonna feel too bad about moving him tonight, at least, but ugh he's so cute.

tyger: Personalised image-manip of a Rogue of Light.  (Homestuck) (Rogue of Light)

Was late to work (again whoops)! Am late to bed! Possibly these things are related!!!

Work was fine, and got to meet up with A after work and that was great! :D

Discovered when Sushi knocked over part of the cat tree (very very accidentally; apparently the 'tower' had come loose from the base and isn't stable on its own, he was just climbing onto it like he usually does) on to my goddamn head last night I didn't just get a couple of bruises; I found a scab on my head as well. :/ :/ :/ So, minor cut, tender bit on my head (probably a bruise? Hard to tell), and the heel of the opposite hand also bruised. Siiiigh. I don't think it was reasonable I wasn't expecting a cat tree to the head while scooping the litter box, and given the thing's solid wood I definitely could've been much worse off. Still, annoying! (Also, weird that I didn't really notice any of it last night! It was a few hours before I went to bed and everything!)

Anyway definitely super late for bed, whoops. At least I don't have to go to the office tomorrow, that would've been... bad... >>;;;

tyger: Watanuki, holding a mixing bowl and yelling.  Text: HEY!  Outta my kitchen! (Watanuki - Outta My Kitchen!)

Like not going to bed. Because you've been ignoring how tired you are since lunchtime and suddenly it's 1am. *facepalm*

Anyway, work today! It went just fine, nothing unusual. Almost done with this stupid one-off report! Should hopefully be done tomorrow, assuming nothing explodes. *fingers crossed*

Got out a new toy for Sushi - I bought it ages ago, but I keep forgetting to give it to him. He seems to like it so far?? It's an electronic one, and he managed to run down the battery in a single evening, so either the battery capacity isn't very big, or he played with it constantly for hours. Possibly both, but I'm guessing mostly the former. But it's rechargeable, so that's not as bad as it could be! I did catch him carrying it around in him mouf, too, which isn't something he usually does with toys! So hopefully he'll continue to like it!

Battery is recharged already, so I'll try and remember to turn it on for him when I leave the house tomorrow morning, so he has something he'll actually fucking play with during the day. (His indifference to most play-by-yourself toys is. Well. Less of a problem than it used to be, but still not great. He needs stimulation!!! And I need to do stuff like work, and sleep!)

tyger: A small ginger cat in a wicker bag (Sushi - bag)

I actually did a bunch of stuff today! (Including napping during work hours, shhhhh.)

Woke up early AND awake enough to muck out the chook coop before work, which was A++ excellent, since that freed me up to have a shower during lunch break, which meant I could go down the shops after work! And get meds, most importantly, but also food. Victory is mine! (I will still eat my rice, but I feel a lot better having other stuff at hand.)

I DID make the mistake of putting the bread I got on the bench, and forgetting to put it away once I dealt with all the things that need cold. So Sushi got a bite out of it, because OF COURSE he did, uuuugh. Cat, why are you like this. Still, means I can have sammiches and/or toast when I want, which is good. Just had to remove the bread around the bite marks.

Also did a couple of small tidying tasks, which aren't much but make me feel better, which is also good. :3 Of course, now I have to go into the office tomorrow, which will kill the small bit of momentum I've got going, but such are the problems of the working class, I guess. :/

tyger: Axel, Roxas, and Xion, on the clocktower. (Default)

Really sleepy now, yup. Thoughts not so much. So, dotpoints:

  • Work went fine. Finally finished that fucking test!
  • Stayed back late at work because I was almost finished another test. Got it done, yay! Train was still crowded on the way home despite not being super peak hour, boo. But I got a seat and that is the important thing!
  • Little bit of minecraft, mostly reading this evening.
  • Sushi may have figured out how to break into my bin, given how he was just nosing at it. :| Ugh, I don't want to have to get an even MORE convoluted bin to keep him out of it... Too smart for his own good! (He is, of course, trying to break in so he can eat muffin wrappers, after all. SIGH.)

Now time for naps yes.
