So Sibling did come over today! The edge sanding has been done! Despite the machine being called an edge sander, though, it doesn't do corners. For. Reasons. Extremely poorly designed reasons, by all reports, it's apparently a hellish contraption of exceptionally stupid construction. Sibling couldn't find a different type to use, though, alas. :/

So sanding will continue next week, almost definitely on Monday, so there's that to look forward to. 2-3 weeks for the whole job seemed like a pipe dream to me, and hey look I WAS RIGHT. Gonna be at LEAST four weeks, maybe longer. Annoying! Hopefully my room can be opened up again sometime next week, though. Ugh, I need shoes.

As far as my stuff goes, I didn't quite get the last board done, but it's mostly there. Maybe a quarter left, at most? So I'll definitely finish that tomorrow.

Didn't end up cooking curry tonight, though, for the extremely stupid reason of I was too hungry/tired. Like. What the hell, evolution, why is this a thing? But no, you get too hungry and tired and coordination goes away and I definitely could not trust myself with knives and fire and hot oil. :| So that'll be tomorrow too! As soon as I finish the paint stripping, I think. Even if it's only like 2pm, doesn't matter, curry time!

Sibling did NOT come over today! Apparently it's "been a week", which. Fair! Anyway, should be around tomorrow, but if not that's okay too.

I DID finish stripping the board I was working on! I didn't get any of the next one done, though, because I came inside for a break and realised I really, really needed a nap. So I had that instead.

Unfortunately, brain is still Absolutely Refusing to eat my goddamn soup - I made myself heat up a bowl, and then I just. Left it there. Until it went cold and Sushi decided to drink all the broth. SIGH. I can give the non-broth bits to the chooks tomorrow so it won't be entirely wasted but still. Ugh.

Also my bread went moldy overnight - I've been eating toast for breakfast every! Day! I didn't think it'd go bad when I've been steadily getting through it, but apparently I needed to put it in the fridge even with how cold it's been - so basically two meals of the day got turned into rice with stuff on top. Which isn't bad but it is annoying since I was expecting to eat other things.

I did take chicken out of the freezer, though, so tomorrow I'll make the butter chicken I got the ingredients for. And then I'll really need to shop again, sigh. Hopefully I'll get the last board stripped tomorrow, though; I think showering will be less of a brainfuck if I'm not going to get back into the gross and stinky clothes I've been doing that in. Hopefully. (Also they really need a wash, but given how long drying anything takes at the moment I'm waiting until this stage is done hahaha. Hopefully the stuff on the clothes horse will be dry by then... Keeps raining, so outside isn't really an option at the moment :/)

Yeaaaah so I slept most of the day again orz orz orz

I DID however cook a proper dinner, so I'm pretty pleased with that. (I was THINKING I'd just have leftover soup, but my brain is bouncing off it pretty hard right now. Because. Of course it is. SIGH.)

Sibling should be here tomorrow, so we'll see how things go! Hopefully most of the sanding will get finished!

Finished off that first long board, and started on the second! Pretty happy with how it's going, honestly!

Less happy with how tired I am - like a fucking dumbass I didn't have a nap but I'm STILL up late. Been awake like 18 hours, which is okay occasionally but not something I can keep up, siiiigh. Self. Go to bed when tired, you idiot.

Anyway ideally tomorrow I'll finish the paint stripping, but more likely I'll finish the second board and start on the last one. Unless I sleep all day, ugh, really hope I don't!

I did... absolutely nothing on my to-do list today. I didn't even get out of bed until like. 5? It was almost dark, I know that much. SIGH.

I did at least apply for some jobs, which I've gotten into the habit of and so didn't put on my to-do list, but still. Fuck executive dysfunction, what a pain. Not surprised though, this is generally how it goes. :/

I HAVE to go shopping tomorrow though, I'm out of uh. Most foods. So hopefully that'll give me a kick in the ass to do other things, too. Hopefully!!!

I did do some knitting though, almost done with the switch cover! Just gotta bind off and then probably block it. Never had to block anything before, so that'll be an adventure! (Mama blocked the shawl I gave her. I was gonna do it, but she had it washed and blocked out before I could even say I was gonna! XD;;;) First thing will, of course, be finding the mats! But I do know where pins are, so that's something...

Still cold! Dislike! (I mean sure it's the middle of fucking winter but that does not make me like it any more. So gross.)

But! I did set up the long skirting boards in the carport - didn't get one fully done, but I DID start with the longest one and it's ALMOST done, I just kinda ran out of light. :/ (Again, with the winter! Boo!) Sibling got the drum sanding done today, too, which is excellent. :3 Not gonna rent the next sander until next week, so I'll have some quiet days which is nice. (Do need to go in and vacuum and mop, just to try and keep some dust control going, but hey. That's not actually too hard.)

Tentative plan is to have at least all the paint stripping done by Monday - I DEFINITELY want to start painting early next week - but we'll see how it goes! I also need to go food shopping again, so I'mma try and do that tomorrow since it's not the weekend? Ugh, I should have showered tonight, whoops. Too late now! Guess I'll do it after breakfast.
