I turned my old bedroom into a makeshift studio for recording audio and putting electronics together. It's very cramped and ill-equipped. I'm a little dour from my tools being missing
And my suspicions about my old laptop's battery dying were true. It can no longer be charged. Looks like I have another desktop computer tethered to the wall now

Is it a half-decent laptop that lets you change the battery, or is it just semi-bricked?
I'm doing somewhat better lately. I can breathe somewhat properly again without provoking a twinge of pain, though taking a deep breath will still do it. My body's starting to feel hungry pretty much all the time as it goes into dieting mode; haven't had a BM since my CT scan, which I believe to be a combination of the fact that my portions are way smaller, the food is healthier, and oh yeah, my body is likely convinced its literally starving and will wring every last calorie out of whatever I eat. Every time I've tried to diet before it's done this. Possibly a holdover from being born 2 months premature. (August 21st instead of October; fetal distress, c-section. I really, really wanted to be a Leo.)

It still powers on as long as the charger cable is connected. Fingers crossed I don't accidentally unplug it when I turn around and reach for something Glad to hear your condition is improving, albeit slightly. Huh, I also was a Caesarean baby, and wouldn't you know it, my name's Leo!

Ahh man that sucks Wesley! I hope you will feel better soon... Hehe I was born one month earlier, in october instead of november, maybe I snagged your empty spot...
As for my day, I have officially 3 permanent employments! Feels like I'm stealing all the jobs.... :V 'Course they're very small jobs, only like 20 hours a week all in all. I also got a bookshelf today and it's perfect! Now I just need another one... or two...

When you don't like most types of food, it reeeeeeeeeeeeally sucks to have a whole chunk of it become effectively unavailable to you. Especially when your remaining options come with their own issues. I have bags of groceries I'll probably donate to my brother or a local food shelter or something because I doubt the rest of my family will eat it before it goes stale/expires, and so it stops taunting me with its presence, because until I get this immediate condition treated I'm not even allowing myself small portions. The problem mostly being that most of what's left when I cut out the fat is high in sugar and I have some family history of diabetes, which when combined with being overweight, yeah, no, kind of feels like I'm flipping a coin at this point. I'm cutting soda entirely.
Tortilla chips, potato chips, pringles, buttery popcorn, club crackers, sausages, fries, all this stuff that has tons of grease and fat. Rest in Pepperoni, pizza. I will miss you perhaps the most of all though I did not have any on hand.

For soda though, I recommend seltzer water, it's very refreshing and bubbly, and it doesn't have anything extra aside from a little bit of sweet Co2!

Alright, basically, someone called someone gay, so the guy who got called gay beat up the guy who called him gay, and I intervened saying that they're both wrong as being gay isn't bad and you shouldn't call people gay, the guys ganged up on me, some guys came to my rescue, and we started having a debate. It was a shitstorm.

I got an early Christmas present from my laptop today. After a good year or two of not being able to render YouTube videos in anything better than 480p, it suddenly switched to 720p60 mid-vid. I can finally see ;w;

On the mixed side, got my exam. Unfortunately, I'm too Pillsbury to get a solid poking diagnosis on (I'm fat, and I tense up and giggle when poked in the stomach) which for the second time has meant giving a few basic pokes and then explaining why it isn't working then not working with me to help me de-tense and instead scheduled me to get an ultrasound instead. Fine. Also is going to avoid doing surgery on me, because being overweight adds risks to having surgery. Appreciated in some respects but that means I'm going to be dealing with this for a long time. Until I lose enough weight that either hopefully the stones break down and pass, they settle down in a way that doesn't hurt, or I am eventually given the surgery, I am going to have to live with the fact that I can only sleep on my back comfortably, pain in my side whenever I yawn or laugh or otherwise take a full breath, and so on.
On the positive side, I made breakfast and it turned out well. I'm going to have to learn to cook, since all the stuff that didn't require anything more than heating in a toaster oven is full of grease and fat.

It was okay-ish today. Had a pretty rough week but at least I have a full weekend of gaming to do. Time to get myself a Shiny Oricorio!
Does anyone else hate it when your teacher puts on a movie that doesn't have or barely has anything to do with the class only to make you fill out a worksheet so you just can't go to the library? I feel like the teachers at our school like to troll us by forcing us to watch a movie for a grade in the sense that EVERYTHING in the movie has something to do with your worksheet.

I stepped on a piece of glass in an otherwise completely clean kitchen floor.
I think that sums up how well my week has been going.

I spent a good portion of my day searching online for Japanese daggers/knives to buy as a Christmas present for a friend who I may or may not even end up buying anything for to begin with. (It's complicated lol)
I decided that a tanto would be my best route, and also learned a lot about sword quality and functionality. It was kind of fun in a weird way. Even if I don't end up getting him anything for Christmas, at least I have a couple things bookmarked now come his birthday in March, haha.

Snow, I like you as a type of weather, generally, but when I have to drive, I'd rather you not.
Went in and got an ultrasound today, no feedback on the results but aside from it being kind of uncomfortable with all the "deep breath and hold it" and rubbing over the area, still feeling way better than I was days ago. Back to work.

It doesn't even seem like christmas in Nc. I used to live in Michigan so it's so weird setting up the Christmas tree without snow. I hope it gets chillier as we get closer to the holidays. last year it was 70 degrees on Christmas Eve,

We're still probably never going to get any snow but this year there's actually a chance it might freeze before January. Not that I can enjoy it much because moving around is still really hard.

Heh, clearly you north dudes are having good times, I guess.
Me, from the real south, is having a marvelous summer. But being serious, luckily now it's not really hot to get cooked while you walk down the street, it's the moment where the massive rains begins and the wet enviroment is just annoying.

Today was a pretty average day, got to dick around on the internet and make a few pages for Nullstuck. I go to to see my sisters musical (college) and that's was pretty fun. So yea that was average. Then I got on here and remembered I have homework, while I'm resting I need bed at 2:09 AM. Great.

Cooking some chicken. Lowfat eating is a bit of a challenge but I was highly amused that one of the low fat foods I found was ham steak. I may or may not post pictures of ham cut into the Sburb house logo when I have some.

I GOT 3 GUITARS TODAY That's a lie. i think. brb putting in a spoiler so the post isn't so BIG (it is not that big) I only got one new one today and I was just counting my previous ones, making 3 guitars in total.
(Even though it wasn't 'today', rather like, yesterday.)
I played it. It's an acoustic guitar. It's good. I love it. I really like acoustic guitars. Nylon is good too. thought about starting a band called 'cool and new reality band' and it going horribly wrong.
other than that my day went pretty good and yes i played the hell out of the guitar. mhm. i also recorded music but that's semi-irrelevant
oh and i also made a shrine dedicated to the people i like the most here
it has candles (smells nice)
ok that's enough im done

I've found myself in a, uh, situation. I really need to get Christmas shopping done, but I'm a victim of my own laziness. I can resolve to get it done tomorrow, but then the next day after work, I really don't feel like dealing with it, and since I'm the one enforcing my resolve, I let myself get away with it. It doesn't help that I haven't really found anything to really capture my interest in my free time lately, leaving me craving free time more because I want to get what enjoyment I still can. I could probably just stop worrying about getting presents and devote my efforts to finding something to really interest me, then start Christmas shopping after that, but that would make me even less likely to get presents in a timely manner, as in addition to diverting my attention away from the task looking for something I'm more likely to randomly stumble upon than find or come up with through searching, if/when I do find something really good, then I'll want to be more focused on that, so staying semi-miserable is the better option.
It doesn’t help that I'm losing my grasp on my sleep schedule. Because I'm in a sort of limbo of free time, I'm left feeling unfulfilled and unfinished at the end of the day and don't feel like ending the day just to go right to work the next morning (It doesn't help that my assignments at work have been unfulfilling lately too), so when I finally convince myself to actually get to sleep, it's far later than I should be getting to bed. This forces me to either not get much sleep, adding to the annoyances of my life lately, or to get up late, forcing me to get to work late. Fortunately the company I work for doesn't care if I get in late so long as I put my 8 hours in, but getting to work late does mean leaving work late, which in turn means either getting less free time, or getting to bed late again, perpetuating the cycle.
In truth, I know the solution: Just take a day off work! That would give me plenty of time to have fun, get sleep, and, of course, get presents. Furthermore, I've often found that when I'm stuck in such a mood, taking a day off ends up helping my mindset even if I'm lazy and gat nothing actually solved on that day. The problem? I'm rather low on time off days due to a big vacation earlier this year, so to take a day off would mean I'd have to shave a day off my Christmas break, which, while entirely possible, said break is already as short as I'm willing to make it. The weekend would be helpful in this, were it not for A. Having plans with my parents during it, and B. Being rather late to get things sorted out and getting Christmas shopping done without paying for express shipping.
But perhaps the most annoying thing of all is that I know I shouldn't be complaining. The fact that I'm getting many hours of free time daily would be a dream for some, and my Christmas break is still longer than many people get even after using up time off days on a vacation earlier this year (which, by the way, was a trip to Scotland!). The problem's I'm facing are ultimately pretty minor, and to make things worse, most of them are entirely my own fault with my stubbornness and laziness. And I can't help but think that, even with my bad mood, I'm actually feeling happier than many people are. Really, I have absolutely no right to complain ... thus I end up feeling guilty for letting this get to me and complaining about it, adding guilt to the pile of already negative feelings...
