shadowhiveSo this post is gonna be a follow up to the nonsense in this one about the boiler nonsense.
So since we heard nothing Thursday we figured we would Friday, but alas we heard nothing. Mum was gonna call this morning (Saturday) but after her usual Friday call with her friend she decided to chase it up.
It took three calls, a lot of it on hold, to finally find out what the issue was. For some reason, despite the thermostat being an essential part of the heating system, they won’t cover it. To me that’s baffling, what’s the point of emergency cover if it wont cover one specific part, especially when said part is necessary for the boiler to function.
Naturally mum was both frustrated and furious at them, and she’s decided that we need to cancel the insurance and find someone else to cover it.
Other than cancelling the insurance I wasn’t sure what was going to happen Friday night.
This morning (so Saturday) she came up out of nowhere and quizzed me about money which I wasn’t in the mindset for. Turns out she’d called the person that serviced the boiler and he’ll come and sort it out for £200 which isn’t something we can exactly cover. Apparently he said he’d give us a month to pay which is better than having to find op it out of nowhere I suppose. I didn’t appreciate either that it was happening Tuesday which is gonna be a shopping day and she knows that but… eh, me saying anything doesn’t matter.
We had words while out with Naryu, about that, about the meter replacement happening Monday, about sorting the insurance (I won’t to wait to sort a new one once he next money was in she, instead, wants it sorted this coming week) and just… ugh. The whole thing is just extra stress.
It hasn’t helped that the stress, combined with the back pain and lack of sleep lately, has combined to make my mood really low and I hate that. It’s also trashed my focus (in part due to having to be alert for calls) and just… ugh. I hate the whole thing.
Mum had a call from my cousin and she bought up the situation and he said her brother would give money towards it though I’m doubtful because that’s doesn’t sound like my uncle, unless he’s had a personality transplant while in hospital.
But ugh. I hate the whole situation. I’m glad tomorrows gonna be a day if…nothing before three days of stress (Monday with the meter being replaced, Tuesday with food shop and thermostat and then Wednesday mum wants to sort the damn insurance).

Other things though and… there’s not a lot honestly. I’ve mostly just been watching the Realmathon and reading some of my book, plus doing games on the switch. Nothing big, just Fortnite/Fall Guys/Star Wars Hunters. Oh and James Marriott posted a new photoshoot where he looks really good, I wonder if the photoshoots related to the music vid (if there is one) cause there’s a new song in a week or two.
The Realmathon ends Monday and, despite all the disruption that’ll be exhausting, hopefully that will mean my time will be more my own so I can return to Stranger Things and The Rig cause I wanna know what happens damnit. And I still need to watch Tarot.
I did watch the second Escape Room film last night, Tournament Of Champions I dunno if it was causal my focus but it didn’t feel as good as the first one. I think it didn’t help that it kinda felt a bit… contrived. Like in the first one all the people were invited to participate whereas this time the organisation managed to (somehow!) get prior winners all on the same train. And not just a regular train, but a subway train. With no other people on it. In New York.
Some of the rooms were nice, but a lot felt kinda unfair and then the ending was a bit ??? What’s strange though is that there’s another cut of the film (included on dvds and blu rays) and I’m really curious about it. Apparently the start and end is different and one character isn’t in it at all (and at least two new ones are in it) so I might be tempted to look for it and see.
Today has been a low energy day though I ended up listening to two of the Rusty Quill Rusty Fears things they’ve done (it’s a contest and there’s 6 stories total, with a pool to decide the best) and I just have two more left which I might listen to tomorrow.
But anyway I’m gonna try and rest. I’ve been hoping to fic but my brain has been a bit bleh and I’ve not had the focus to even look properly. But eh I guess we’ll see.
