So as I mentioned in the second snowflake post, Saturday I slipped in the ice while walking Naryu/coming back from the co-op. It mostly caught my hands, my left had a few cuts and a blood blister (mum’s I’d I’ve not had one before) which is still there. My right was mostly internal. There was an ache in it and I couldn’t grip, but there was no outward signs at first. I just thought it was shook up from the fall.

On a Saturday night I couldn’t sleep, no matter which position I tried my hand ached so I just couldn’t settle. The next morning mum wanted something to move something and I just told her I couldn’t because of my hand. Annoyingly, despite me telling her about it at least three times on Saturday, she acted like this was Brand New Info.

At this point where it ached had a noticeable swelling so she went into a panic insisting we go to the hospital the next day.then, bizarrely, she decided the tree had to be sorted out yesterday. First she said it was just taking decorations down, but then she bought down the tree box and did that too. None of this was helpful, not the least cause I wanted a drink and wasn’t confident getting it myself (not helped by her blocking the way numerous times) and didn’t even want to discus food until she was done. Plus she snapped a few times as if it was my fault she was doing it all on her own and not her choice.

So it made a bad situation worse.

She did suggest I put my hand in warm water and then in a glove and I’m not sure if it was either (or a nap, or just doing it alone) but by night time my hand was much better. The swelling has gone down, it’s not as achy and I can grip better. (Plus I could sleep) so we didn’t go to the hospital after all which was a stress I really didn’t need.

But other weekend stuff now. I have been enjoying the new series of the traitors so far. The secret traitor is a neat concept (though I wish it was lasting longer). Me and mum think it would be cool if it was the detective lady.

The Traitors prom was really cool! I wondered how it would be, cause I wasn’t sure if there was much of a soundtrack (other than the main theme) but they added some other music (like Danse Macabre) and covers of songs (like Vampire and Toxic) which were so so good that I wanna watch it again sometime. Plus Claudia was there which was fun.

Saturday I got go to the Who ray boxset, which was The Brain Of Morbius. Overall this is a pretty strong episode. You have a dark and stormy planet (at least at the start), a gothic castle, a starship graveyard, what’s essentially a coven of witches and a mad scientist (who has some incredible lines). It is essentially Frankenstein, with said scientist making a body of various parts. However instead of creating life it’s to serve as a vessel for the titular brain.

Honestly it’s a really cool concept (and the series needs to do more horror eps on alien worlds cause you can go wild with it). And there’s much to like, especially the sister of karn (I loved their outfits, make up and movements), Solon (said mad scientist) and of caurse Sarah Jane and the doctor. Morius’ design is a wild one and it does work cause it’s meant to be a wild mishmash of parts. But yeah I really liked this one. The next ep is The Seeds Of a doom whcih I’m really curious about.

That night I watched Taskmaster which was fun. Though there’s the standard issue with the new year treats, the groups is usually so fun thst it’s a shame they only have one (in this case two) episodes.

I also watched the Stranger Things finale, thoughts in a separate post (cause I have many and this one is already long, I say having planned to do that anyway).

Yesterday I watched the masked singer (which has been fun) but mostly napped and then pottery throwdown (I loved what they made) and The Night Manager (I didn’t watch the first series but I haven’t felt lost). I was gonna watch the Brain Of Morbius special features but my eyes went too achy which sucked.

Instead I listened to a Who audio I had related to it, Sisters Of The Flame which is a follow up (and a teo parter with Vengeance of Morbius) as such it’s a bit of set up/establishing stuff and there’s a lot of mysteries (though some less so cause obviously the bad guy is doing something with Morbius cause if the title. But it is pretty good and I’ve liked Alexander Siddig (better known as Doctor Bashir from DS9) voicing a Trell which is described as a giant centipede which honestly sounds like a cool alien design. I hope to listen to Vengeance soon.

This weeks plans:
*New tv starting: Lynley, Victorian Murder Club, The Good Ship Murder, Father Brown
*Continuing tv: Traitors, The Masked Singer, Pottery Throw Down
*Watch Seeds Of Doom
*Get back to IT (either Chapter 2, Welcome To Derry or both)
*Maybe do a 2025 film post
*Fic
*Icon
*Gaming: Hopefully Pokémon ZA and Control
*Try and get the x box memory thing working
*start the quest calendar I got (it’s meant to be a daily thing but due to my brain and the fall I’ve not)
*book read (and magazine read too)

I’m probably not seeing Anaconda this week (it would’ve been today if so) cause there’s still snow and ice around, plus still being shaky. So most likely it’ll e next week when money’s in (and maybe see Labyrinth with it)

I’m gonna get stuff from the big finish sale which includes Stargate audios which sound pretty cool.

I’m gonna try and reply to comments tonight, which I’ve not done causa hand but we’ll see. (Though my head has been achy today which is ugh)
