i am the son and the heir of nothing in particular

I have finally moved the tumble dryer from the front bedroom to outside! Now I just have to contact the council to pick it (and some other stuff) up.

I happened to run into my friend Jackie between Xmas and New Year and was all, "Could you do me a favour?" and she said yes, so I rang her the other day, and she came over that afternoon. It's not even that the tumble dryer is heavy, it's just awkward. But there's no way I could have got it down the stairs by myself.

So now I've moved some stuff around - primarily all my boxes of fabric are together and against a wall, as opposed to being in a stack with air all around them. I also managed to reclaim another box, so most of it is in boxes now, which pleases me as it's easier to store. I think I need to sort through the fabric again. I kept some stuff that should probably go as I'll never use it, and I still have the material I don't want from last time (because brains, tiredness, etc).

Now I need to work on sorting through stuff and throwing away/recycling/donating anything I don't want or need.

Jackie said we should both work on making ourselves a functional workroom this year and me, knowing what my energy levels (and migraines) are like, was all, "Ha, like that's going to happen!" and Jackie said she would actually do it. But I'm actually invested in doing it. It's what I've wanted to do with the front bedroom for literal years, but I've been delayed(?) in doing it by not having easy access to get rid of things. And I still don't really now, but just doing this is starting to make things seem a bit more manageable.

Yesterday I sorted through a bunch of tapestry wool that I didn't think I had a use for - except that now I do! I can use it for needle felting! Among other things. And because it's 100% wool, it will felt really well. I don't know why mum had it, or even where it came from, but it never got used while she was alive, so I might as well do something with it.

Finally, I am still trucking along in FFXII. I did a grinding for money/hunts run, and somehow ended up with 50K gil purely from vendor trash (I got lost in the Ogir-Yensa, nobody is surprised). But this meant I could buy the weapons and armour I wanted before I did the Stilshrine. Which I just finished last night.

I'm still doing pretty well. I still haven't had a game over, and I've beaten every boss on the first try so far, so I must be doing something right (or I'm getting better at video games, ha ha).
