(no subject)

So it’s snowflake time but I’m gonna do that in a separate post later (after so:e thought) cause there’s further nonsense that we’re getting into.

So in a recent post I mentioned the thermostat acting up, so on Saturday mum decided to call up someone. (She would have done sooner but assumed I’d somehow sorted it despite me saying I’d not). We were told someone would call so we were pretty much on standby just in case but no one did.

Come Sunday morning and they had called and sent someone. I stayed upstairs out of the way (after all I’d only get in the way) and mum said the guy said it was some sort of pressure issue. I had to activate emergency credit on the meter, then put the heating on before going up to dnd. I put on 14 then didn’t really think about it.

When mum went to bed I turned it back down, then sat down and watched stuff. I’d assumed it had gone down until I got up to get something and saw the boiler light still on. I checked the thermostat and it was on 17. I tried turning it down but it did nothing so I left a note for mum about it.

At 2 mum had gone down and called me, before even reading the note, so I had to explain it was t coming down and she’d have to call them up again, which she did. (At this point it was 18)

It stayed high all night, burning through the emergency credit and mum fell when she closed a window she opened cause it was too warm for her (but I didn’t know until I woke).

We were going to put money on the gas card when we walked the pup but due to her fall she didn’t feel up to going (and waiting for a call back). So I went alone. Its annoying the nearest pay point is 20 minutes away (the old one was 5 mins away) and as it was my first time going anywhere alone since much stitches I was a bit nervous, but I knew it needed to be done. (Plus side I got the first issue of the Dalek part work, not that I’m getting it cause it’s like over £1000 for it all) I’m not put it on the meter until it’s sorted cause I don’t want it eaten again.

But ugh it ended up being exhausting. I only went in two places, one to put money on the card and to look in the co-op but ugh that was exhausting by the time I came out. I was so glad to be home.

(Additional stiches downside I can’t pet dogs I see this is terrible)

At time of writing (2:40pm) there’s been no call or sign of anyone coming so I doubt it’ll be sorted today. Which ugh.

Ok that’s been a much longer ramble than I expected oop

Friday night I ended up watching a film called Escape Room on bbc1. I was looking for something to watch and saw it in the tv guide but wasn’t sure if it was one I’d seen before (there’s two Escape Room films, completely unrelated and released in a year of each other, along with at least one other unrelated one too). It turned out to be one I’d not seen and it was pretty good some of the rooms were so well done (though the first kill felt so wrong) and although the end was a lil messy it was still pretty good. It ended on a sequel hook, and the sequel is gonna be on this Friday so I’m gonna check that out.

Saturday I watched a film called Missing Link which was entertaining enough but then I suddenly got too drained ao couldn’t focus on reading like I hoped. Then when I felt I could it got too dark which was annoying. But then there was the masked singer which was fun. I guessed the singer that was revealed (well I recognised the voice but couldn’t think of the name till someone said it).

I had hoped to either watch something or game in the night but didn’t have the focus to do so which was annoying.

Sunday we watched a Marple episode which was pretty good. We only have a few episodes of it left so I think we’ll be back to watching it on Sundays now. Then there was dnd which was good as always (though we’ve been doing it for 2 years now what??) and then there was the Realm event which I found I couldn’t focus on properly, ugh.

But I was able to watch Quackity’s stream before heading up and it was so fun. There’s been drama again lately and people probably expected him to say something (even though he’s not involved) but instead he was like I have three things to say: that he cut his finger, merch is still available and there’s a new multi language game show thing he’s doing (which honestly sounds so fun!) and then he was like ‘I’m sure I had something else to say but I can’t remember bye!’ I love him he’s so unserious (but also genius using this to promote his cool new project instead)

As you can tell from the amount of times I’ve mentioned, but focus was too off to work on fic which has been so annoying cause I know if I lock in I’ll be able to finish them. Ugh. Hopefully this week

This morning mail has came in the form of dungeons and dragons adventure, which has new sets of dice (including a pretty glittery green set) and a case for the coins that have been with the issues. Also my shoto merch is finally in the country so should be here this week (yipee!)

This week is Seapeekay’s realmathon which is starting soon (it was mean to to be at 1 but Seapeekay standard time has struck again) which should be fun but will also mean I might not be able to continue Stanger Things or The Rig this week.

Now though I’m gonna flop and maybe post snowflake later unless I get distracted, inspired or unfocused.
