Lhude sing Goddamn

Today I sorted out ALL SORTS of financial stuff for myself. Updating details (40+ min on hold for fucking medicare whyyyy), sending money to super, closing bank accounts... SO MANY THINGS I've been needing to do but hadn't had the brain power to do! So many!!!

And THEN after tea I MADE A CAKE. Which involved running down to the shops (thankfully Mama gave me a lift, it was dark and cold) because we didn't have any eggs. Hopefully it'll taste nice! The batter was good, so I'm hopeful, but it's with almond flour so it's a bit of an experiment.

On a related note, I'm going to dinner at Ni'chan's tomorrow, heh. She's had to go minimal gluten, thus the almond flour, but hey, at least I was able to make something. (Also get through some of the almond flour Mama bought when my father wasn't supposed to be having glutens last year. Which is why that flour specifically; Kit says that if you use oat flour and reduce the sugar you can make a lot of biscuit/brownie recipes as-is, but we didn't have any of that already.)

Anyway now it is time to pass the fuck out. I expect to be mostly useless tomorrow given how much I've done today and also because I'm still up at this hour, but if nothing else I HAVE to shower and also. Catch the bus in the afternoon.

So for my tidying today I sorted my sticker collection.

I have... so many stickers now...

Most of them I was able to divide into little A5 plastic pockets, except for the Homestuck Kickstarter ones - most of them were just a tiiiiiny bit too big, goddamn US print sizes - and the pokemon ones, because there was just too many. But with those two sets in a transparent hard case the effect is much the same (though it's kinda annoying that I couldn't split them up but OH WELL).

I probably have more stickers around in places, but at least now I can put them away without having to second-guess myself about it! :3

Also got a call from a recruiter, which was encouraging! Clearly all my applications are doing SOMETHING, even if I haven't heard anything back from a specific job. We'll see how it goes, anyway.

Lazy day!

Went for a walk with Mama, and I put up the rest of my prints and did some adding of stuff to the display case, but that's pmuch it for today. Very relaxing. Slept until Mama harassed me out of bed, too, hahaha.

Now time for bed again yes >: Sleeeeps, they are verra important!

Got lunch with A, which was pretty great! :D

Also finally found sticky dots (it took... way longer than it should have...), and I've started putting up my new prints! All the new A5 ones are up yaaaaaay~ Still don't know where to put the A4 ones, bleh. Gonna put some bookmarks up, too, and maybe some sticker sheets. Also considering some super thin pin banners - out of thick fabric ribbon or something like that - for the sides of my wardrobe doors (the prints are in the middle, so there's not a lot of room). Will have to have a look at what we've got laying around; as usual I don't want to buy stuff unless I really have to.

Anyway, bed now. I had a nap when I got home, but I'm tired again because of course I am, hahaha.

Big thing I did today was clean the bathroom; I got the steam cleaner out and everything. It's been needing a go with that for a while, but I REALLY didn't want to get it out when it was still hot XD XD XD Humidity woulda killed me then!

Also put my new pins and badges up on my pin banner - still gotta take the older ones I took down away, but I'm avoiding that. Mainly because I need to reorganise the shelves so that the thing they're stored in is easier to get at, etc. etc, and I'm trying to uh. Not start any more reorganisation projects until after I've dealt with the ones that're in progress...

Decided to make room for some of my new prints by taking down some of the ones that've been up for ~15 years, but I haven't actually put them up yet because I'm out of goddamn sticky dots. -_-;;; I'll probably pick some up tomorrow, or the day after if not. Should be tomorrow, though, planning on going shopping with Mama. (I thought, when I got my new pj pants, I didn't need new pj tops as well. I was _wrong. Sigh.)

...but for now I gotta go to bed because whoops it's late and Mama prefers to shop in the morning, before the crowds. (I do not blame her! Just. Ugh, mornings.)

Not that I put in HUGE amounts of effort today, but I applied for half a dozen jobs or so, so that's something.

Also did the chooks, and tidying, and other little things. Not as much as I wanted, but it's something! And I really don't want to overdo it and go into a depression slump, so I'm not trying to push myself, hahahahaha. Will try and do more tomorrow!

I also want to get started on doing little tech projects, starting with that mostly-finished logs one, but my brain isn't quite there yet. :/ Well, it's had A Lot of stuff the past week, so I'm not surprised, I was just hoping programming brain would bounce back fast. Alas!

The con was... A Lot. Just. A Lot.

I enjoyed it, and made uh many many purchases, all of fanartist! (So many thing!) But also it was A LOT. Absolutely sure I didn't give some of the fanartists the attention they deserved, in between the overwhelm (cool things) and overwhelm (too many people), and the other booths, that I checked out after the fanart, definitely didn't get much of a look. (To be fair I don't tend to ping on official merch very much anyway so... there was a reason I left that section 'till last.)

I still think cons are more fun if you go with a friend, but it's not bad to go by yourself, either! I won't go to one again for a while, though, because they are. Definitely expensive. >>;;; I dunno how much I spent and I'm a little scared to look. But like my father said when I was showing my parents my cool stuff (on request!), I don't really have many expensive habits so it's probably fine occasionally!

Also there was someone selling buttons I got copies of the last time I was at a local con. WHICH WAS 2017. I did NOT expect to find anything from that long ago still in stock! I mean, they're great, and it definitely wasn't the full range from back then (and many many new things added), but STILL! :O :O :O

I did get a weekend pass, but I'm not gonna go tomorrow. Most of the draw for me, personally, is Cool Fanart Stuff; if I was going with other people or there were panels or whatever I was interested in, then another day might be fun, but as it is I don't have anything pressing. And I should... probably not spend any more money... >>;;;

I was there for something like six and a half hours, too, which is A LOT longer than I thought I'd manage! Pretty proud! :3 Now I need to go collapse for ...a while... though. Make the sore feet and headache go away! >:
