New tech and random rambling

-

I didn't do a whole lot yesterday, other than run to Walmart to buy butt wipe and a few other things we needed. I lacked the mental and physical capacity to do much more than that. The only reason I even bothered to go out at all yesterday was because I couldn't find the new pack of toilet paper I know I bought last week. Bleh.

Today I just sort of vegged before having to head to work, but I had a brand new Google Nest Mini to play with after I got off work. It was the easiest set up I've ever had with any sort of technological thing, and it's tempting me to pick up at least one more so I can put it into my bedroom.

I'm thinking that in the future new homes will come with this sort of technology built-in. We are going the way of Star Trek and we will eventually think nothing of just saying, "Computer, turn the lights on" or "Computer, play some Mozart." Or even "Computer, tea, Earl Grey, hot."

Now that I've got my new toy set up I'm feeling a bit bleh again. I do know that I have to set up an appointment with my doctor to see about changing up my anti-depressants because I don't think they are working as well as they used to. While I'm at it, I should have her take a look at a mole on my back that looks like it's changed a bit over the years. With a friend of mine dealing with a cancer diagnosis and now going through therapy the thought of getting/having cancer has been on my mind a lot, so getting the mole checked is only a good thing.

I also know from the sleep data that my smart watch collects that I have very few okay nights of sleep. Going back for several weeks now I have had nothing but bad sleep. I know I need to do another sleep test, but I hope that my doctor sends me to a different place to get the equipment - the last test I had done I told the tech before I even left the office that there was something wrong with the machine, but he basically treated me like an idiot. And, sure enough, I got a call a couple days later saying that the machine malfunctioned so the test didn't even go through, and they wanted me to reschedule a time to pick up a different machine. Of course that happened right around the time that I started working 62 hour weeks when I was in security...all because the idiot I reported to couldn't get her act together to get replacement guards pushed through the system in order to be approved by the client I was working for. Such is life sometimes.

I keeping hoping that once I get my home decluttered and decorated the way that I want that my mood will improve, but I already know that my mental state partially hinges on my brain chemistry cooperating. My fingers are crossed that something works out.

So, I've been verbally given a three month eviction notice due to my landlord wanting to renovate the apartment I've been living in for almost 12 years. And he's made it clear that he will not entertain the idea of me coming back once the renovations are done. Yes, the place needs some work - I've been here for 12 years so wear and tear are only natural. Of course, the day he needed into the apartment was a day where the place was a state. I'd just worked my last day of a string of five days in a row and housework needed to be done. Five days worth of dishes in the sink, garbage that was in the process of being collected to put out on garbage day, and laundry that was in the process of being washed, dried, folded, and put away. Plus stuff on the floor because I'd been going through my collection of doom bags and boxes so I could get rid of more things I don't need or have room for. It clearly wasn't putting the best look out there for my landlord to see,...

So, I didn't get everything out of the basement common area by the end of October. I got a LOT of it out, but there still remains some items that desperately need to go. I just haven't had the spoons to do it yet. Such is life when your health, mental and physical, decide to have other ideas. Obviously, I'm still working away at it all, and making progress too! A week ago, during my last two days off from work, I finally put together the free shelving thingy I got from Temu and started putting things on it. Talk about a huge difference from having things all over the counter! Organization of my kettle, various water bottles and travel mugs, spices, cereal, and other things have been accomplished and I have actual working space on the counter now. Given the space and time (and another shelving thingy at some point) I'll hopefully be able to turn the top of my mini-fridge into a coffee station and get rid of the two milk-crates I'm currently using to hold canned goods...

Ex got his ass fired on Valentine's Day...what a loser

-
The ex no longer has a job - he was termed on Valentine's Day. I can only wonder exactly what goes through a person's head to continue to do the same stupid thing repeatedly. Clearly he's not all that bright if it means that he has yet to learn a lesson out of all of this. But I also think he tends to think he'll always get bailed out whenever he screws up like he apparently always does. When he told me that he always loses his jobs the same way, I thought maybe he felt guilty about it all and wanted to make a change. Obviously not. Whenever I eat in the food court at the mall I work in I keep expecting his mother to approach me to ask what happened. Or to give me shit for not making her son a priority. Frankly, I'd love her to try giving me shit because I'd tell her - mother to mother - that she raised a selfish idiot who refuses to learn from his mistakes or is just too stupid to figure out that how he chooses to go on is no way to live. What is he goi...
