I just tried logging out of video games and doing something else for once, so I tried watching Blade Runner 2049.
10min into the movie the main character gets back home from a hard day at work... to his AI girlfriend.
And that's enough shit for one night, back to gaming.

Finally had spoons to work on my indoor garden. It was getting way out of hands. I trimmed everything down and started new cuttings in water. I also moved all the pots out, cleaned the table, and put everything back on trays. :)

I tried making a CD tower to go with this new Blu-Ray drive I received for christmas, but I couldnt figure out a good way to mount all the little brackets... then I went back to the thrift store and found THIS.
I added legs to it so it rests sideways at an angle over my drives. It's perfect! 🤩 🪚 🔨

It KILLS ME how gamers use "Lag" for both low fps and high ping. Like you'll be at a WB in GW2 making jokes about skills not working, and someone invariably goes "lower your settings" like nah bro my game runs at 120fps at all times, changing my settings wont make Anet afford a higher tier of AWS. 💀

It's odd how my physical health degraded so much over the past couple years and yet my well-being somehow improved. Something about finally being single and out of debt erasing a huge source of stress to the point where I have found peace, for the first time in my life.

The past few days were POG energy-wise, but then yesterday I had to shovel snow and break ice and now I'm so exhausted i just had to lay down for an hour cause I had a metallic taste in my mouth.
Maybe I should hire a kid from the neighborhood to come shovel my porch for me.
And I'm only 37... oof

You only realize how toxic your childhood was when you're 37 and you catch your inner monologue trying to convince you that you're allowed to have that snack, like you need someone's permission just to EAT.
I realize some people embrace that and make their relationships about it but damn its bad.

I am finally debt free as of this month, after juggling credit card debts for the past 15y. Which means I have extra cash that isnt going into CC payments. So I did the smart thing: I ordered 100$ worth of extra shelf-stable food as a peace-of-mind buffer. I am no longer a Starving Student! :D

A close friend is asking me for help upgrading his VR pc, and I was wondering why he wasnt just building a whole new setup... then i looked at the price of ram. The DDR5 kit i paid 200CAD for a year ago is now 770CAD. Thank you, AI, for always delivering on your promise OF MAKING EVERYTHING WORSE!

I think the worst part about my Long-Covid symptoms is also being a hopeless introvert and getting drained of energy with any social interaction, and at double the rate if its a negative social experience. It just takes a single internet troll to drain me and keep me in bed for a week. 😩

Cleaned my side desk and made space to line up all my external drives against the wall. Two HDDs, and a Blu-ray/dvd/cd reader+burner. Plus a ton of CD albums and blank discs to burn. I'm in the process of building a proper CD rack that will go above the drives, it's a WIP on the workbench. :)

Finally recharged from going out shopping a few days ago. Also got the new Rx from my Dr for a higher dose of sleep aid, since I stopped CBD. Been sleeping much better.
Time to spoil myself to sushi. It's been too long. :)

Stopping CBD improved my energy levels significantly, but I definitely have Long-COVID / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I still havent fully recovered from going out shopping two days ago. But hey at least this is manageable, i do have good days, and then days to recharge.

Had enough spoons to leave the house, so went to a thrift store and bought a dozen CDs. I'm just that excited about this new CD player ok!
Also, Dagwoods sucks now, that sub was eww.

So it would seem a big source of my constant fatigue was that I was overdoing it with sleep aids, taking CBD, melatonin AND my prescribed sleep aid together. I tried not taking the CBD last night, and only half the melatonin, and i feel more energetic than i have in MONTHS. We'll see if it lasts. 🤞

My biggest irk about GW2, and the one thing that's making me always looking for a new game, is the non-stop CC that enemies have. Sure we have stunbreak and stability, but those have cooldowns... groups of enemies will just spam CC and stunlock you. It feels like cheaply designed game "difficulty".

I was kindly gifted an external USB Blu-Ray drive, and I'm like a kid in a candy store. I got a great deal for it on eBay, it's legit made in Japan, it looks like new, and it was plug-and play! VLC can read DvDs and CDs out of the box. Now I can borrow movies from my local library! 🤩 🎁

I had to cancel a Christmas family celebration today, because I had no spoons to leave the house. I had to force myself out of bed to eat something and take my beds this morning. And yet I am not mad, nor sad. CFS is a real illness, without a cure, so I can only learn to make peace with it.

It just hit me why I get irked by sudden push for Linux:
People arent pushing Linux because Linux got more usable, they are pushing it because Windows is getting less and less usable.
Microsoft just lowered the bar.

I am so thankful my town still has a few hole-in-the-wall restaurants with their own delivery services. It's comforting being able to call a place, speak with a real human, and have them deliver you comfort food without a middle-man doubling the final bill. #DoordashIsAScam

Merry Christmas Friends.
I hope you are all able to enjoy this special day however you can.
My Chronic Fatigue is worse today, but I'm not letting it ruin my xmas. I baked a Buckwheat Pancake for lunch, and now have a Tourtiere in the oven. Warm, cozy, and homely. Comme dans nos vielles maisons. 🎄
