beccaelizabethSpending money makes me feel sick.
Which is broadly how I end up with enough money to spend, but still, not actually fun.
It's the 'but what if I need it' that gets me, even though I quite demonstrably need it, as I don't have enough lamp shades or lamps in the right places and much of my furniture is busted.
I phoned the place that might take my furniture away today, but that was easy because I was pretty sure they'd be closed, and lo, it was so. So I still don't know how to get rid of all this Stuff that is not the correct Stuff.
At this point anyone willing to take the piano away can have it.
... unless I go dragony about it again, which I keep doing, because I have had that piano since always and the fact it is a gigantic useless thing does nto always outweigh that.
Contact People Day works better when there are people to actually contact.
I got another Big Finish Audio subscription, which means I'm only like a year behind. I know budgeted monthly they're a perfectly reasonable entertainment allowance, but spent all at once they're somewhat daunting. Still, plenty more new Doctor Who all downloaded and ready to listen to.
I rediscovered one of the gaps in my Doctor Who DVD collection, which obviously I'm going to fill as soon as I get to the shop, it's just at this point I own so many it's hard to remember which ones I went in for. But it's next on the rewatch and I don't got it. So. Soon.
I also did the Sainsburys shopping, and hope it'll add up to meals somehow. Nowhere is currently willing to sell me Five Alive juice or pasta twists, and guess what my staple diet consisted of while the things were available?
*sigh*
But I got the Morrisons food yesterday so I have many sandwiches and some cake.
Which I should probably have ate some of before 1830 but I only woke up at like 1pm despite going to bed at a perfectly reasonable hour.
... okay last night's 'insomnia' is 100% attributable to a story with the summary 'nobody knows Tony Stark is Iron Man. Then Tony gets amnesia and nobody knows.' But I finished that at like 0200 so I feel like I should have achieved awake in the am again.
Making words is hard again, my head is full of empty. Like, it's not just not having thoughts, its like there's an active sort of empty that can push back whenever thought should be occuring. Is annoying.
I shall be starting the new year with a lot of the same to do list I had last year, and indeed the year before. It's a tad bit frustrating.
But I do make steady progress, so that's the thing I should concentrate on.
The current arrangement of computer and desk does not really work right. I need to be sitting closer and to have somewhere to type that isn't my lap, or a way of putting the keyboard centered that doesn't overbalance because of the number pad. But this computer is meant to be for playing games on the big TV. I need to replace my laptop for general browsing purposes. But some are now tablets? With being silent? I don't know, are they any good?
Technology advances faster than my capacity to comprehend which bits of technology I in fact need.
But still. Laptop. Then I can go back to the other way of doing things.
And new TV so I can go back to the picture being much bigger albeit I think with less pixels.
And possibly a smart TV so it can be quiet yet go on YouTube and BBCiPlayer and the other catch up thingies. Maybe Netflix, but I don't know why I need Netflix when I have almost all of Doctor Who on DVD.
... I don't watch much new TV any more. It seems to be connected to the impulse that makes me a grumpy hermit. Why risk watching a new thing when you already know which bits of the old things piss you off?
Okay, I should to eat now.
