Sliding puzzles with furniture are the best! No, wait, the other thing

Hey lovelies! Today is still not the day I remember how to post in anything but bullet points, so here we go.

• My mum has her appointment for the covid vaccine! She's not happy about it, but she's promised that she's going and I will take that.
• For valentine's day Lex got me adorable Umbreon and Espeon plushies, and I love them! I just haven't come up with a good name for either of them yet. I got LexGarrett snacks, which included dark chocolate mini-eggs with peanut butter in! ... 100% cocoa dark chocolate... With unsweetened peanut butter. I have been reliably informed that these Did Not taste good, whoops.
• I had the "brilliant" idea of rearranging our bedroom. Pro: all of the stuff that I dumped on the floor to deal with later are now between me and the bed so I HAVE to deal with them! Con: ... all of the stuff that I dumped on the floor to deal with later are now between me and the bed so I have to deal with them.
  • Right now, my current mission is to go through my books and get rid of the ones that I don't want, and LexGarrett is doing the same with his. I don't know if this will meaningfully affect the level of clutter in our room, but it's probably a good start.
  • Does anyone have any recommendations for places to sell manga and/or floppies? I've used Ziffit before, but it doesn't do that well with manga. I know rationally that the 10p is a bonus and the actual reward is having space in my room again, but... What if I could have both...? My only other idea is seeing if anyone still uses BookMooch, but that requires a little more executive function than I usually have.
  • Also, like, if anyone wants me to send them a rough list of what's going so they can call dibs, lemme know. Y'all know the kind of stuff that's likely to be in this pile.
  • I want, irrationally, those cube bookcases that you can get from Ikea, the ones you can put shelf-dividers or cupboard doors in. I just think they'd be great for storing Lex's 40k minis, okay, and I could have little boxes for my crafting things to live in and it would all be very cute. >_> I'm 97% sure we don't have space for another shelving unit! AND YET I YEARN.
  •  ... Where the fuck do I put the rockets so I don't break them. Um.
  • In theory, part of this rearranging is going to be making a little crafting nest in mine and Lex's bedroom. Hopefully, it'll make life easier for the entire household, because more of my mess will be contained in one place! Instead of haphazardly scattered across the living room because as soon as something leaves my field of vision it ceases to exist, I mean. But this might ALSO mean that I can snoop at ways that people have stored their patterns and crafting bits for inspiration! Fun AND dangerous, the best kind of snooping!
  • Speaking of fun, the pull cord for the light in the bathroom has broken in such a way that we've managed to turn the light ON, but we can't turn it OFF. I think this might be the first issue we've had with the house that hasn't been because the people who had this house before us were muppets who weren't as good at DIY as they thought, I'm impressed!
• Excuse me a minute, I don't know what my housemate is cooking, but the air is chilli oil, what the fuck.
• Right, ANYWAY. Realised last week that I seem to have a meltdown this time of year every year, and that I have a dreamwidth, I can fucking check. Lo and behold, every year: some variation of "I'm sorry I'm flaking on everyone," "the new year has kicked my legs out from under me," "everything is terrible but I'll be okay!" ... What I'm saying is that I'm pretty sure that this is seasonal depression teaming up with my regular mental health bullshit, which I never looked into further because mental health bullshit takes up a lot of bandwidth. But I'm taking a bunch of vitamin D supplements and Lex has bought me a SAD lamp, and I've got a doctor's appointment in a fortnight, so doing what I can. Just... Equally annoyed by and laughing at this? "There is a reason why everything feels impossible, it's my brain, good talk."
• (I AM FINE.)
• Don't know if I mentioned, but coworker did not have covid! Or at least she's back at work, so if she DOES have covid then we have bigger problems.
• I want to start playing Final Fantasy games again, and I don't know... Where to start...? I've been doing most of my gaming on the switch right now, which means that I have access to FFVII-X, XII, and XV (pocket edition), but I kinda want to play FFI and just dunk myself in nostalgia and cooing over elves and mermaids. Hmmmmmm.

So yeah, everything is fine and moving along, I have a very cool bruise on my toe where I dropped a stack of books on it, I am trying this "going to bed before 23:00" thing people keep recommending to me, wish me luck!
