Dentist cancelled. They were like 'god yes please don't come if you're ill' so i'm not feeling bad about it Am feeling bad in General cause my sinuses are clogged, i'm all phlegm and my leg hurts on top of things, just to spite me.
Feeling less like death chewed me up and spit me out today! Still snotty and gross, but breathing goes easier and god you don't appreciate being able to breathe properly until your body pulls this shit on you.
ok so the original plan was that i would be driving home tomorrow but my mum's being all sorts of anxious about me driving when ill, even though i'm absolutely improving, so the new plan is PROBABLY to go drive home on friday. and maybe tomorrow, if i'm feeling well, venture out of the house/my self-imposed quarantine to the one furniture store that's closing down and see if i can score a cheap shelf for my file folders from there. and also fill up the car, that also needs to happen.
I have a problem, my usual mcd has been invaded by two entire sxhool classed at once it's so full and fucking overtaxed, i'm so sorry for the employees, and the next two twelve year old who start Wrestling in Front of me will be royaly bitched out
plan for tomorrow: clean up (vacuuming, laundry, putting away my sewing equipment again) furniture (put up file folder shelf, switch out nightstand lamp, switch out bathroom mini shelf) cook (chili con bacon)
it's basically your garden variety chili con carne, except you switch the 'carne' out for bacon because I can buy bacon in smaller portions and i absolutely don't need a pound of ground meat at once. There's... no real recipe tbh, aside from 'beans, bacon, corn, garlic (chickpeas, if no white beans available...), liberal application of spices until it tastes right, simmer forever' ...actually i might set it up later today so that it's got time to sit and become delicious overnight AND I JUST REMEMBERED I GOT SOME CHEESE I CAN GRATE OVER IT AT THE END TOO
Gotta share this gem with y'all: From ther family whatsapp group, me talking about the shelf i'm going to put up tomorrow: Me: gonna bring it up in pieces tomorrow, the package's too heavy to lift and it's not like i can rent someone for it Sis: sure can, 's called a handiman, or an escort. Depening on what you wanna get screwed Me: i'm doing my own screwing, thanks And all in plain view of my parents, because that's it, that's the family dynamic.
That reminds me a lot of my family tbh. Example: I was once working on a cosplay component--specifically, I was making Amethyst's gem out of Sculpey--and my dad and I were chatting while I worked. I was using a thick plastic butter knife to cut the facets, and I noted, "See, things like this that are hard and rigid--" My dad's reply? "They're not your thing, I get it."
this just in, a little bit of cocoa powder and dried sage in chili are amazing and i gotta remember that.
