shadowhiveOnce again it’s been another few stressful days, largely as a result of Tuesday.
Mum’s friend offered to take us to Iceland to pick up stuff cause she needed to drop off money for the charity mum and her help with. (You know those things you see in shops to put change in? They pick them up to bank them every few months.)
Because of that things had to be changed. Since we didn’t know when exact we’d be going the food shop (which usually comes in the afternoon) had to be time shifted in to the morning so we’d not miss it. And it also meant that said shop had no frozen stuff so there’d be space for whatever we got. Also there was an understanding about how Iceland would be paid, cause mums friend had some discount card thing she’d pay and we’d give her the money.
Then on Monday mum started an argue ent about the whole thing. First that I’d gotten no frozen stuff from the shop despite that being the agreement and then another one about money. (We’d agreed not to get money out beforehand cause there’s nowhere here to put it back if too much is taken out.) cue an hour long argument That ended up in frustration and bad vibes for the whole day.
(And I know the whole thing of not liking changes like that is a neurodivergent thing but mum never seems to understand that.)
Tuesday rolls around and the food shop comes early by about 20 minutes but at least that was sorted. But it also meant the morning was just ugh.
Then when mum returned back to the library she said ‘we’re going after lunch’. I thought great cause it’d mean we should leave at 1:30 and be back around 3. However we didn’t get back until closer to 5.
This was cause the bank they pay the stuff in has a machine that counts money, but it wasn’t working. So the three of us had to go into a side room and count up the change into those little money bags. As you can imagine there was a lot of money, it was time consuming and tiring and the place was warm which didn’t help. There were a few old and foreign coins that mums friend knew the bank wouldn’t accept so I got given them and there’s a Mexican one that’s pretty cool.
But yeah that was exhausting and then Iceland was…. Well it was ok but that point we were tired from that, I was too rattled from the stress the previous day and there were some things they didn’t have (the party food for example was only one freezer).
The night ended up being better mostly because of No Dice which was a nice distraction. It was funny though how Owen (the DM) had set up the fight with the Naga as being the big ‘main thing’ for the session and it ended really quickly (within the first hour of the four). By contrast the part got to a ravine and Tubbo’s character Martin just jumped right in cue about an hour of back and forth trying to work out a: if the fall killed him, b: how the others could try and help and c: how to get down when the rope and the party’s sole climber seemed to vanish in the dark too. Honestly it was so super chaotic, most notably with an sos message that was equal parts sos and flirting. It was pretty much exactly what I needed.
Then yesterday ended up being more stress. I had assumed I’d not taken my wallet Tuesday since it wasn’t in my bag or jacket but a search shown it was nowhere I thought it would be. Cue a lot of chaos and stress till I had a theory it might’ve slipped out into mum’s friends car. After walking Naryu we saw she’d come back home and sure enough it was there sitting in the back seat like a passenger. Ugh why’s this keep happening?
I went up and dropped off mum’s prescription and got the new Radio Times, cause there’s a doctor Who cover for it with the new doctors. Actually there’s 6 covers, one for each doctor. The local co-op only had 9 and 10 (thankfully I wanted 10 or 15. I would have liked to get more than one cover but the timing is so bad. If it was next week it’d be fine but nooo. (So if anyone sees 15 or 11…) but the articles about it amounts to 5 pages it seems so it’s not too much.
But yeah past few days have been stressful and ugh (and that’s ignoring how pissed I am at this government but what else is new?).
Good things:
*I finished the second act of three act tragedy, I’d have started the third but *gestures at stress*
*I got some things from the Sumerian Records spring blowout (I can’t stop thinking about the guy in frozen that says ‘hoo hoo big summer blow out!’ Whenever I think of it) so I finally will have a Weathers tee as well as Paradise City on blu ray (which I didn’t know was a thing) among other things
*I watched disc switched to the silurians second disc and the first documentary on it was so sad, as they tend to be (about the episode’s writer)
*The last Twitch Master was on the Tubbathon last night and I really hope he brings it back cause it’s a lot of fun (last nights had Krow and Owen)
I’m sure there’s something else too that I’ve forgotten but honestly my energy has been so bleh due to the stress of the things above and the last weeks and my depression/anxiety/whatever else I have has lowered my mood and mindset that I’ve essentially gone into the mode of ‘hide away from people’ which is a default thing that I can’t really shake.
But gonna head out with the pup now cause something is meant to come later.
