[[0052]] Day 29 of Self-Isolation

I have no idea what to write here other than my mental health has taken a dip, therefore my bloods have also taken a rise and my eyesight is blurry so this is probably full of typos).

Day 29 (And the start of week number 5, dun dun dunnn!)

Evening folks and I apologise in advance if this is full of typos but... my vision is really blurry tonight and my diabetes has decided to take a big nope out and just, urgh. I was hoping to be writing this sat in the office with my new laptop alas, it was not meant to be. Currys PCW have said it is dispatched and DPD is arguing that it has not been so... if the reviews I have read are correct, I am in for either a damn long wait even though I paid a tenner for delivery today, or, it won't turn up at all and will be thrust into the never ending cycle of rude customer service loads of people have been dealing with amongst other things I have read. SO, my fingers are crossed for tomorrow but I don't hold out any hopes. Worst part is, I won't hear ought till potentially 11am tomorrow if they do have it or not... just... urgh why me? The other half's new coat arrived today and that was only ordered and shipped yesterday! If I had known Currys PCW would be like this, I would have just ordered the one on Argos instead. Urgh.

It seems pathetic that something so stupid would get me down but, it really has. I cleaned and finished the office ready to go for arting digitally and so on, started looking into free apps I could get to well, do the arts on and just, everything got thwarted before it even began. Okay, I'll stop being selfish and melodramatic but I am honestly just major bummed out right now. 

Anyway, other news.

I have actually finished the office, bar the Odeon exclusive posters I am waiting for to arrive to complete sets, but, the room is done! A big shout out to my mate Sarah, for dropping some blu tac round with me to help get the last of the posters up! Thank you! The room looks banging!!!

I promised pictures of my reading area today so... here ya go...

So what do you guys thing? A nice lil corner for being comfy and reading and imagining the days away haha I cannot wait to find out where the hell I put my Dan Brown book I was reading and finishing it at last! (I love Dan Brown's work, not just because they make you think and want to go places and investigate things even though his work is a work of fiction but because the chapters are nice and short, and that is one thing I prefer with my books, makes me keep attention for longer and keep on reading because it feels like you have read more!) Finally got shelves for Marvel, Pokemon and Star Wars as well which I am thrilled about, my build-a-bears have never looked so happy! I'm now waiting for Magnus to refind the armchair and start sleeping in it again haha, or the office chair, either or.

I still have some finishing touches to do around the house, like hoovering and sprucing up the living room, but everything big is essentially done now, I don't know what I am going to do with myself! Well, I have ideas, we shall see what happens haha!

I may have not received the art laptop today but, my new PowerA switch case came and I am happy about that. I seem to be a bit of a sucker for PowerA at the moment, as I have a PowerA pro XBox controller, as well as a Pikachu switch controller and headset, all by the same brand (and the Pikachu stuff does match my Let's GO Eevee switch and I am a sucker for things that match...)

Look at them together, it's a match made in heaven! I also got the console case, not just cos it's Pikachu and PowerA and matches my stuff but because I didn't have enough sections for the games I have in the other one... and this has space for 9... plus I've plans to buy other games too, so need room for them. I have been swapping games out of games cases for the last couple of days and I am not a fan! More so because I keep forgetting to put the cases back on the shelf... it's a silly thing, but pretty case is pretty and matching things makes me happy.

OH YEAH, MUCC did another live premier stream on Youtube today and omg the live was incredible. They announced next week, for Europe, that the live will be brought to us by Yukke, their bassist, I am so excited!!!

Also opened another advent calendar door this morning, what with it being the start of a new week and my fifth week away from my work in a hospital! I am still missing the place, but I am happy I am getting this time to dedicate to the house and take it all at my own pace instead of rushing and feeling poorly n stuff. 

I do wish I had left today's door for when I realised that my laptop wasn't coming... because it was these cute adorable page markers and ha, I was a sucker for page markers at uni and some of my books still have them in, as well as my revision notes, haha!!! I had Star Wars ones, Disney, paw prints, some I used for colour coding... anyway, these are so damn cute and adorable, and I might write some happy words to a couple and stick them up in the office for when I am feeling blue and uninspired in there.

Well, that is it from me for today. I'll be back tomorrow at some point around this time, may be earlier, may be later, who knows?

Over and out, mes amigos.

[[0038]] Day 15 of Self-Isolation

Time certainly flies when you're having fun... if tidying can be classes as fun...

Day 15 (We ain't out of the woods yet...)

If I don't do it today, then I will do it tomorrow, I figure I will order an advent calendar for last year to keep me amused each day I wake up as the pandemic continues. Come at me Harry Potter goodies, my body is ready.

Anyway, it's a quick one today as not much to report.

Mental health is still stable, thank goodness. Thoughts about it being my b'day next week are trying to ruin me but I am keeping me busy with the house so those thoughts don't trash my already unstable mental health.

Diabetes was meh this morning, but, I managed to get a good blood result, 6.7, before dinner so I am happy with that. I actually did some more cooking today, cheesy mash containing potato, broccoli, carrot, peas and cabbage and have plenty left over for the other half when he is home.

So, how are the cats?

Magnus is being Magnus and sitting by food bowls every time I smoke to get treats... fat cat is gonna get fat if I'm staying at home, I struggle to say no to her cos she so cute.

As for Pom Pom, she has been loving the cat room! Magnus hasn't been in it since I've done it but Pom has been all over it, whether cat tower, window cushion, mattress, pillows... she's a happy bean and that makes me happy too!

Now, what have I been up to? 

I started sorting the music room finally. It's taken me long enough. It doesn't look like I have done a lot but there is a lot of stuff now downstairs waiting to be sorted and either binned, displayed or put under the stairs so I am taking that as a win. 

There is a lot of stuff to go under the stairs though and I am sat here writing this and wondering how the hell we got it all under the stairs in the first place? Or am I shoving more stuff under there? I don't even know at this point.

What I do know is that my house has multiplied in duvets and I am not too sure what to do with them? We saved one for the cats, have the Summer one in the airing cupboard for Summer and then the one we have on our bed... why the hell we need 8 duvets I have no idea. We have four spare pillows as well so two have been chucked cos hella old... but seriously, how did I get 8 duvets? I know I moved in with three and I bought one recently because need thermal in this house, but the rest actually confuse me. Hopefully I can find a home for them but until then, under the stairs they go (and maybe put two in the skip).

Either way, it doesn't look like I have done a lot today but my back is pulled in so many different ouchy ways and I despo need to have a shower because carrying stuff up and down the stairs is damn hard work when your kidneys make it hard to breathe. Either way, it is a start and there is always tomorrow... maybe.

Have my ultrasound scan on my bladder and kidneys tomorrow so it is my first time out of the house for about two weeks. Don't worry, I'll social distance like a pro and avoid everyone like the plague, well, everyone but the staff doing the ultra sound, obvs. I will be getting buses which I am a tad worried about but... I need to attend this appointment so I can;t afford to miss it.

Oh well, my worries on that is a blog post for tomorrow.

Over and out, mes amigos.
