Fucking Depression

A 39-post collection

Saturday, Stream Stuff and Nonsense

The Promptcast is doing another Booked For Friday. I actually have too much breakfast for breakfast this morning. A trial not helped by the Morbs weighing me down

I might end up throwing my toast to the birds.

Blargh.

I shall try nonetheless.

I finished the storyline of Dressmaker yesterday, so now I am compelled to fill out all the achievements. I also want to do well on the one dress I fucked up, so I will be playing the storyline again.

Oh the "deprivation". Lawl.

Anyway, I endeavour to do the story and get some other projects progressed upon. I persist regardless of life pressing me down.

Story happening at some point. I will get there.

Friday, Battling the Morbs

The Weight(tm) came over me as I was arranging coffee and pills this morning. I wish I knew what was dragging me down so I could make certain it was going to fuck off.

And this was before I found out that Patrick Stewart has passed on.

I will be seeing to my stupid fucking ankle and doing the daily tale, and a few household tasks... but I'm already fighting gravity while doing it.

I'm trying to get fitter. Curing this

Friday: Bad Brain Day

My alarm goes off at 4:30AM. When I should get up, see to my self-maintenance, do my exercises, then enter the proper world and begin my daily tasks.

No such luck.

I woke up weary. Exhausted and in pain when I should have been fresh and ready to go about my daily tasks. So I flopped back in bed and tried to catch some extra rest.

It felt like gravity was doing double duty. It took as much effort to roll

Saturday, Stream Stuff and Idle Days

Going to make sure I have money for next week, check how capable I am at having money the week after that... and tune in to the Promptcast's interview thing today.

One flash fiction and maybe some game time. It depends on how quickly I get the work done. I'm hoping to have some hours to make progress on BG3.

Hope is a wonderful gift, sometimes.

Time, as always, will tell.

I can do this. I used to be able to do

Saturday, Unfuckathon

Can't mod today. The fam has come to evict years of packrattus. It's only now, hours after they arrived, that I have had the chance to sit and type anything about it because I also need the nebuliser.

I've been throwing out a lot of stuff I spent a lot of money on, but turned out to be useless. There's also been a huge amount of technoscrattle unearthed from the packrattus of ages.

My back hurts. My feet hurt. I'm almost certain

Friday, Messy Unfucking PLNs

I have bread on. I have A means to unfuck the kitchen drainage on my only. Well. On my only plus Mayhem plus an online Redneck.

There's also a telehealth shrink appointment at a later hour.

...and B'Nar got rejected within 24 hours of pitching.

...yay...

I get to pitch it again tomorrow.

And I have to announce here, and later Patreon, that I am no longer participating in the Archive.

Long story short, the group has had negative growth since its

Tuesday, Patreon and Shopping Potential

I have to keep the catio closed off until I fix the roof. The good news is that I can get the corrugated iron real easy. The bad news is that I need to find the tools, the charger(s), the screws, a ladder... and a helpmeet to do the thing.

That's going to be an issue.

So too is escaping the shed with the car. Because the yard turns into a quagmire under a light mist.

We're going to be dragging

Tuesday, NBN Day I Certainly Hope

Today's the day the people are coming to do the thing. I was not able to get a sparky in to clear a path and now I'm packing bricks about that.

The rest of the QPP are incommunicado about that.

So today, I am in a holding pattern while I wait for the NBN people to turn up and tell me I need a guy to do the thing.

I can hope that they do all the things, but... my pessimism is

Sunday, Delay, Delay, Delay...

I cancelled VTTRPG so I could be cogniscent enough to drive. I woke up at 3AM anyway 9_9 BUT also got some extra sleeps in between then and about 5.

Messaged my lovelies about the anticipated meet-up so I can cuddle Beloved for the remains of the weekend. Which is getting to fewer and fewer hours as time ticks by.

Update - just got the news that Beloved is still feeling the downside of her new meds. If pay is incoming

Thursday, Dreading...

Valentine's Day is looming and I am still trying to save for tyres [at $450 per decent tyre, I need a minimum of $700 to be safer on the roads. I almost have $130 saved and the panic is starting to sink in] and I really want to get something nice for Beloved and Adorable, but...

Staying alive is a huge fiscal drain right now. Staying on top of everything is a juggling act and... eeps.

I feel guilty about needing tyres.

Tuesday, Patreon and the Morbs

The Morbs(n): A feeling of ennui, depression, and generalised gloominess in which the possessor wonders whether there's a point to continuing. In brief, listless, lackluster depression.

I.

Have.

The Morbs.

I just feel like I'm doing so much for so little in the way of rewards. I posted about that on Tumblr this morning. It's so rough getting out of bed on days like this.

I will have better days. Knowing that is the only reason why I fought to get

Sunday, Streaming and Enshittification

My GP in their ultimate wisdom and lack of government funding have had to charge $75 Dollarydoos per visit. Which I cannot afford on the Monday I have scheduled because payday the next day. Whee.

So when I visit, I'll clear the later payment with them and FOR SURE come visit before I go to the nearest petbarn, Food Emporium, and whatever bits-and-piecery we need for the fortnight in order to stock up on necessities.

Not necessarily in that order. I will

Sunday, Smouldering Holiday

I got that odd pre-burnout depression mixed with Asthma Brand no-air panic attack going on, so I'm going to line up the treat food and spend the rest of the day in bed and watching garbage.

I have all the post-medication signs that I should have done a nebuliser dose sooner. Including:

  • Pins and needles in the extremities
  • Tinnitus
  • Dizzy spells that are more like the entire grimoire
  • General wibbly wobblyness that means I should probably steady myself on stable objects for

Sunday, Feeling Hollow

Went to a Queer Social and didn't know how to contribute to the conversations. The person we were meeting after said social cancelled. Went looking for something fun to do and ended up nope-ing back home. Woke up to catch Tale Foundry and it's been moved to tomorrow.

Feeling a little unloved in my particular pocket of the world.

Still, I have plenty of time to write my blog, work on a chamber or two of the dungeon, plot or write something

Tuesday, Patreon, and a Problem

It's Patreon Tuesday, so I have a bunch of stuff to post. I don't have anything for Tale Foundry - YET. Thinking about this is one of my tasks today.

I aim to get a month's worth of fictions tagged because I keep forgetting to do a week a day. Bleh.

So much to do. So little organisation. On my gottado's today:

  • All the self cares
  • Patreon posts
  • Tale Foundry story
  • Dungeon building
  • World building
  • Fic tagging for the app

If I
