may you attain all that is your due
Okay so, I had two and a half weeks off work.
I was ill for the majority of that time, so I didn't manage to get as much stuff done as I wanted, which was frankly really fucking annoying. I had migraines or headaches on the first week, and then shitty meds side effects. (It happens from time to time with the one medication I am on, luckily not very frequently, but for some reason this time was The Worst since the time I've been on it).
I had made a to-do list, and I did get the most of that done, but it wasn't as much as I wanted to do. I spent more time watching streams/playing vidya (either Balatro, or Dorfromantik, which I finally bought myself for my birthday). The landing walls, which I had hoped to have papered by now, are still in a state of half-stripped disarray, and I am unhappy about that.
But. I'm not telling myself off about it. I deliberately did not try to push myself when I felt like ass, because I knew I would end up making myself feel worse (either physically or psychologically, or probably even both).
I had wanted to go out on my bike as well, but between the way I felt and the weather (it mostly rained or was cold, or both), I didn't.
Anyway. I had about a week's reprieve, and now I have a sinus infection, so I feel like ass again. I would spend the day loafing around the house today, but that I have to do a food shop and have a blood test later. But luckily that's the most I have to do. (Except for maybe asking one of the tattoo places about my next tattoo, and possibly piercings*, if they do them. The place I got my previous tattoos done does, but the owner prefers online contact to in-person for making appointments and I would rather talk to an actual person!)
So yeah, Dorfromantik! OMG it is the BEST game. It's exactly as chill as I thought (so much so my fitbit thinks I'm asleep when I'm playing it a lot of the time because my heart rate is so low), and it scratches my map building itch. I got really emotional when I first started playing it when I first got to use the tiles with the deer and the beavers, because you can see them moving about in the landscape and I just. I dunno. I just love it. It's a good, chill time. The only thing I think it's missing is the ability to make hillsides, as everything is on a flat plane, but other than that, no complaints at all!
(I totally abandoned Balatro for it, lol whoops. I do want to go back to that at some point, though, as I was on the verge of getting the hang of the black deck on basic stakes).
Oh, and I bought the cat a radiator bed to use, as I thought she would like it but, to no-one's surprise, she will not even investigate it. (I suspected this would happen, which is why I haven't bought her one before now, but hey ho. At least I guess I know I was right?)

*Nothing exciting, I just want my earlobes done a third time. I had considered a helix piercing, but decided against it for now.
