Apr. 18th, 2025 01:31 amToday has been a pretty draining day.
Cause I had an appointment I had to be up early and out to town…. Only to find that I’d got the wrong day. I’d seen the appointment as being Thursday and, rightly cause of it being urgent, had assumed it was today however it was for next week.
Thankfully the lady I talked to was a decent person and was able to not only sort it out for me, but could tell me what happened (one of the digits in the system was wrong), flag getting the payment back as urgent (since it had already bounced back) and actually said it’s a good job I came in early to sort it.
She said it should be in as early as tomorrow, before realising it was the bank holiday so that should delay it by a few more days. Hopefully that’s true and that’s the end of it but… ugh.
Instead of just heading home like last time I went a few places to get bits and pieces for shopping. Nothing too exciting but by the end of it was tiring (mostly cause of the 8p veg from Asda being heavy). It probably didn’t help I picked up a Doctor Who hardback book from a charity shop either.
Once I got back I flopped and watched the Mario Kart direct and it still looks really good. The trouble is though the direct felt a tad… pointless? Like most of what it shown was stuff in the original trailer and I kinda felt like the direct would go more in depth with stuff you know? Like it didn’t even say if you unlocked characters by doing things or had everyone from the start (all it did was mention unlockable costumes).
Rest of the day I spent mostly tuned out and flopping with Midna cuddles.
I did get an email about the Sumerian order I did in the sale, cause two CDs didn’t come with the rest (Danny Worsnop and Sleeping With Sirens albums) and it just said I was getting a refund for them. No reasoning why, so I’m left to assume they just didn’t have the stock they expected.
Tonight is the start of Star Wars Celebration, but the streams are at 3am here so I’ll probably miss them all.(and intend to watch them later and instead forget). So I’ll expect to wake the next few days to exciting reveals of stuff. (Like info on the upcoming Star Wars fortnite season and I’m manifesting we get a Black Series Qimir figure)
And speaking of Star Wars, the local cinema has confirmed it’s gonna be getting Episode III so I might see that. (It is more than seeing it at the Odeon, but the Odeon is all the way in Birmingham and this is just in town.)
This weekend I’m just gonna flop and hope that my energy can come back so I can do things. Maybe I’ll get back to reading or ficcing (I did end up starting ANOTHER wip last night) but most likely I’ll just end up flopping with the girls and waiting for the new Who ep to drop.
But now I’m gonna head up to bed, if I’ll actually sleep is another thing entirely.
