I have not achieved a lot this month.
My health has been a bit balls, so I have read some books while my eyes continue to hate screens, so I read the last of Jasper Fforde's The Last Dragonslayer series The Great Troll War, which is an examination of genocide for children.... I read Ravensong, some more TJ Klune werewolf romance. I read Uprooted, Naomi Novik doing some Polish fairytale fantasy.
I have walked to the library a couple of times, because two of those three books were library books, only the Klune was a book I actually bought.
I discovered how many time limited Pokemon I have missed in Pokemon Violet while I haven't been feeling well enough to play and it has severely soured me against the franchise. I bought the game on pre-order, and pre-ordered all the DLC, giving the company all the money they asked for and am still being penalised on content I am able to access in the game ever for not playing it at the specific times they determined. What bullshit is that Nintendo? You are tell customers that you don't respect them and teaching them not to give you money in the future.
I had a doctor's appointment. My blood test results were all pretty much the same as three months ago. Even after all the ridiculous eating of Christmas, and the eating my feelings of recently my weight was also the same, sitting at the lowest in over a decade (though still far higher than it 'should be').
I spent much of this week having made myself sick stressed out over doing the paperwork for the ACC review. The result was shockingly terrible. I did a piss poor job of it because the instructions are deeply unhelpful and I got too anxious about it. Over-thinking about it also left me with an even less positive opinion of my clinical psychologist, my assumption the problem was me is becoming less certain and I am coming around to the notion that he really wasn't doing a good job, possibly even intentionally.
And so, having stressed myself unwell I have failed to go get a haircut this week, which I had planned to do so I would look a bit more presentable for my zoom meeting for the ACC review. And also because I would like a haircut. But it sort of had to happen by today and it hasn't so it won't.
Also haven't really been sleeping which doesn't help. With the waking up a lot. And the getting up may times to check the door is still locked and generally being too anxious so staring at the ceiling worrying about irrational things.
Am I a mental case?
No, I'm a matching mental set. Made of cheap nasty pine, but stained to look like it is made of tolerably decent wood. Kit set assembly. Available cheap. Probable from My Mate Jon's or similar....
Oh, and in good news my Ascendice kickstarter is sending me a replacement base after the original one I was sent arrived obviously chipped from the factory, and they are throwing in an extra levitating dice so I will have all the varieties. I find complaining to companies about faulty products to be very difficult, but I am glad I managed it.
Also, had my cousin Breffni visit the weekend before last, and talk me into giving her my three piece suit (which I haven't fit since I got sick and as it was tailored for someone else the sleeves had always been too short for my arms).
The following Wednesday I had someone stay on my fold out couch for the first time since I moved (a touch over three years ago, I think) and discovered the fold out mechanism had got a bit busted in the move. But my second cousin (ish, I failed to work out exactly where on the family tree he sat) Henry, who I had never met before, successful crashed for the night as he passed through on his tour of the South Island before returning to salmon farming in Canadiastan. He seems nice enough.
