Having some alone-time at home, so I've organized some stuff, wrapped 4 gifts, plus did 3 small hobby sets. Tried to do one a few weeks ago, but contrary to the belief of my trusty hobby glue, it doesn't do felt (even if the package clearly says "felt" it won't stick felt to anything else than maybe wood, but definitely not to itself ), so I tried out my new glue gun (I think I already have one, I just don't know where - the new one is tiny and was fairly cheap so I didn't have big hopes, but whoa, that one glues like a tiny champ! Only annoyance I have with it is that it drips a lot and occasionally dries a little too quick - if I've stuck two things together, I have about 5 seconds to adjust it, which is about 2 seconds left when I've gotten over burning a finger on the glue ).

Anyway, I get stuff done when I'm home alone. Was planning to paint something, but didn't quite feel like it today.

Today was busy. I was on my feet all day doing chores. I at least have a better appreciation for my mom when she was 37 and doing chores.

Had a hot meal and started on my financial endeavors. Mostly for my future life.

I need to bring more hobby projects to night shifts. One I've been putting off because of too many steps got completed yesterday (so that's 4 sets in 3 days - new record!). Plus, they're great at making time pass, and to keep me awake. It's the least tired I've been at 4-5am. Normally I'm just reading a book, so my eyes are struggling to not go crosswise (at least when I'm not up walking and doing rounds). Also, no distractions (no computer, that is - it's either hobby set or reading)

Went to podiatrist. Got my feet worked on.

Got the box spring for my bed in.

The way I have a particular way of setting up my bed, my parents joked I was the Princess of the Princess and the Pea. I find lumpy beds hard to sleep on.

EA CEO Andrew Wilson in running to be Disney CEO succeeding Bob Iger

“I think that Iger is afraid of making another mistake with video games, but recognizes the synergies EA brings to Disney,” said Michael Pachter, an analyst for games at Wedbush Securities. “They could integrate Ultimate Team with ESPN and ultimately perhaps even get into real money sports wagering. Andrew is young enough to replace Iger, has 10 years of CEO experience and has clearly built a great business at EA. I’m not sure who else is in the mix (there may be media types who make more sense), but Andrew would eliminate the concern about another video game failure by Disney. It is plausible at least that he is under consideration.”

Go ahead, Disney. Take Reaper Wilson on as CEO. Look at all the studios he has closed and what he's done to the 24 year old sims franchise. He's truly a gem, you should take him, immediately. Disney won't have another video game failure. Andrew will just hand out pink slips and send teams home instead.

Echo chambers have no boundaries...

Looking at how tired I was, it's a miracle I got the chores done.

Tomorrow, my parents will be at work and with have to face the onslaught of Black Friday shoppers and last minute Thanksgiving shoppers

My mother is convinced that the way management runs things is that squirrels run it and are trying to kill her.

Got some new toothpaste in the mail (apple pie and lychee). Tried the apple pie flavor and oddly, it wasn't overpowered with cinnamon.

Currently working on dishes. I am taking a little break to recuperate from a panic attack.

Still awaiting more items from Australia.

Woke up to a ~5cm blanket of snow and hours later it's still going. Hasn't happened in a while here, especially this early.
I hope it's gone tomorrow so I don't have to bike through it.

It wasn't snowing here last night, but I did wake up and get in the car with my windshield being frozen. Luckily I had used up the regular H2O in the window washer fluid compartment and topped it up with some scented ethanol solution before the frost. Didn't even have to leave the car, it melted straight away.

But that also means I have to start waking up 10 minutes earlier every day now, because it's sure not getting any warmer...

We finally got some rain! The drought is breaking!

I also have a therapist appointment today and I know she'll bear the full brunt of emotions. Then again, it comes with the territory of psychology.

In any case, I have a full day ahead of me after my appointment. I have dishes to put away, a table to clean up...I already brought in a package for my parents.

I am okay. Just ended up running out of money to the point I actually had $0.00, as I donated my last $3 to charity.

Dreary, winter mix falling today.

I am so tired...I am still working on my chores.

For now, I am still working on recharging my Nintendo Switch after the battery ran out in sleep mode.

So my family is in a bit of trouble with hospitalizations. My eldest aunt has a bloodborne staph infection and my grandfather needed stitches for his eyebrows when he attempted to feed said aunt's cat.
