So thankfully my mouth is feeling better. I can still feel a small abmount of swelling but it’s barely noticeable now and there’s no pain and I can speak and eat ok which is a relief.

So it’s looking like we’re good to go tomorrow woo!

Today mum got the results from the blood test and she hasn’t got the cancer gene my uncle has which is some good news. That means I don’t have it either since she doesn’t which is also good. I know she’s been stressing about it even though she hasn’t wanted to admit it so I’m sure this will help settle her mind.

Since it’s Star Wars day tomorrow there’s all kinds of things going on, although if I’m honest I’m not hyped by some of it. I’m still stung from the Disney store order debacle last year I guess, so I’ve avoided looking there. I got one thing from the Amazon sale, a Padme tee so I’ve got an Episode I tee for tomorrow. I also ordered the Lego droideka a few days ago. I was gonna get it tomorrow from the store itself but figured it would be best just to order it instead. (For various reasons, but mostly to avoid carrying it and to ensure I got the freebies).

Today’s the start of the Fortnite Star Wars event which is a bit of a mixed bag. There’s a bunch of things and there’s free stuff to get in all the modes (my fav is the instrument from festival, which I think is my fav of the modes now, it’s basically guitar hero). The only issue this time is the pass. I love event passes and I always get them, even if they’re for things I know nothing about (like the recent Avatar one) and the last Star Wars one was really good (you got Darth Maul and a much of themed things around him and clones). This time’s one has Chewie which is cool but the rest of the pass is all for Lego fortnite. Which it’s kinda cool, but at the same time there’s nothing to go with Chewie so it feels a disappointment in comparison. (And I’m not alone in thinking that.)

Anyway! Tomorrow is gonna be a busy day. I’m going to Birmingham for free comic book day, so I’m hoping to get the Star Wars, Doctor Who and Pokémon ones (I might have to source the young Jedi one from elsewhere since I suspect we won’t get it). And cause it’s Star Wars day too I’m gonna see if there’s anything interesting to get. Plus we’re gonna go to see Episode I at the Odeon which'll be nice to see on the big screen again. I hope they’ll be the Acotyte thing too though I’m not sure.

Then when we get back it’ll be time to watch MCC and this time I’ll be watching Seapeekay’s stream to see how they do (and hopefully fic some, I’ve not had the focus lately and it’s annoying).

And speaking of annoying I tried to sort the phone mum picked up last year (and never touched) and it’s a nightmare. The only reason I’m bothering is because twitch verification is being a bitch and needing a mobile to text a code to and it’s just ugh. It doesn’t wanna detect the SIM card I got and the instructions are no help. It makes me wanna throw it at the wall. Mobiles are the one technology I don’t get they’re so.. ugh (I don’t suppose any uk person would be willing to help?)

Anyway I’m gonna try and bundle up soon but no doubt fail.

I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better!

I'm far from an expert on phones but I'm happy to help if I can.

[shadowhive]

Thanks! It’s still a little numb at times but nowhere near as bad as it was

Thank, 8ve not idea what the problem is! It doesn’t seem to wanna take the card and I have no idea why

[yarnofariadne]

Is the phone locked to a specific network? I've had trouble with phones not recognising a sim card for a network the phone isn't from.

[carrythefire]

Is the SIM expired? How old is the phone? Would be helpful for you to have a phone for slam dunk so we can keep in touch whilst we arent at the same sets

[shadowhive]

The first sim I tried from the old phone probably is (it was Orange I don’t think they’re even still a thing?) but the second is a new one. The phone, I dunno how old it is, it says it’s a Nokia but I dunno. It’s so confusing😭

Yeah that was mum’s thinking and another reason I wanted to try and sort it but I’m having no luck😭

[carrythefire]

Omg orange 🫣 get a new SIM card hahahaha that is 100% the issue here. Also do a factory reset on the phone

[shadowhive]

Yeahh ooop! Shows how old the last phone was! I ordered a new one which came the other day but it doesn’t seem to wanna detect it😭I feel so dumb

[carrythefire]

does the sim have credit on it?

[turps]

That's great news for your mum!

[shadowhive]

Thanks! Yeah it really is!
